MAIL ORDERS RECEIVE OUR PROMPT ATTENTION.

true of those departments whose admin
istration is confined to county lines In
this direction | desire to call your atten-
ton to the fact that many of the public
offers in that city are receiving a larger
remuneration for their services than that
which is given to the president Of the
United States"
New York Police.
The police department of New York
city receives considerable attention in the
governors message. Mr.. Odell is of the
opinion that much of the difficulty now
existing in this department is due to di-
vided responsibility and a lack of a cen
tralization of authority.
what remedy have we?" he asks, ''for
this manifest evil, which has brought the
police force of the city of New York into
such disrepute? A state constabulary
has been suggested, but the strong dis
inclination upon the part of the other
municipalities throughout the state to
acquiesce in his solution renders this
plan valueless. A metropolitan police
system is open to the criticism that it is
violation of the principle of home rule
guaranteed by the constitution. We are
therefore brought to face this proposition,
with no apparent remedy as yet suggest
ed. In my opinion there should be COM
plete Capitalization of power. There is
no necessity, it seems to me, for COM
missioner who is not in effect as we'll as
in name the absolute head of the police
system of the city of New York An
efficient man, the choice of the mayor. as
single headed commissioner, with all
the powers now possessed by the chief of
police, would at once narrow down the
responsibility and place it within the
power of the chief executive of the state
to hold accountable the mayor and the
commissioner thus appointed. This sug-
gestion, if given effect by legislative en-
actment, would. in my opinion, be no
violation of the principle of home rule"
The message recommends the entire
separation of the bureau of elections from
the police department of the city of New
York and tho creation of bipartisan
election board.
Among the novel features advocated by
the new governor is the enactment of an
employers liability law or the establish
ment of a system of forced insurance of
the employees by the employer, the OBJ
ject being to place the employees on the
same footing as individuals not employed,
in cases of injury or death to the employee
resulting from negligence on the part of
the employer.
The message further recommends ex-
empting mortgages from taxation, the
consolidation of the forest preserve board
and the forestry. fish and game commits
sion, and the improvement and enlarge
ment of the state prison at Sing Sing.
