Governor Hughes.

1t is clear that Charles Evans
Hughes is going to run his own job
as governor OF New York. His mes
sage sent 10 the Legislature yester-
day is such as To justify the Presi-
Dental bookmakers in hesitating a
bit before they fix the odds against
Hughes. If Governor Hughes goes.
right ahead as he has begun, and
if he is successful in getting Legis-
lature TO crystalline his policies into
law, he win stand, six months from
now, second to none as a represent
Iative of effective, vigorous, construc-
tive progressive policies.
1t may we'll be believed that the
Hughes message caused consterna-
ton among politicians and repre-
sentatiyes of the interests at Al
bany. Nobody was consulted about
il; nobody got a chance 10 give adj
vice. The governor just wrote down
what he thought. and Theodore
Roosevelt in his most enthusiastic
moments could hardly have blocked
out bigger task for Legislature.
Governor Hughes asks nothing
that will not appeal TO average pub
lie opinion. He demands that "a law
be passed at once providing for a
recount of ballots in the 1905 may
orally election. Then he would have
an effective corrupt practices act,
going so far as the suggestion that
a limit be fixed on the amount any
candidate may spend. He outlines
| in fact the best of the rigorous cor
rupt practices acts that have been
so useful in England.
Governor Hughes, like Theodore
Roosevelt, has no fear of borrowing
good ideas from the other party.
He wants the railroad commission
abolished, which Mr. Hearst prom
ised; likewise the gas and electricity
commission. Then he would replace
these two with a single board, vest
ed with startling POwers-power TO
make and enforce rates and service:
to pass on issues of stocks and
bonds, so as 10 prevent overeapitali-
cation; and generally 10 guarantee
4 protection To the public interest by
the exercise of the fullest eonstitu-
/ tiOnal powers. The old railroad
commission has been d reproach, if
not a scandal, TO New York for
years. 1t has been a mere appendage
To the railroad interests. The
Hughes plan would give New York
the best system Of railroad regula-
tiOn outside of Massachusetts, Tex
as, and Wisconsin, and il would be
of inestimable value 10 the immense
| interests of that Commonwealth.
Governor Hughes is going about
his big task just about as Theodore
Roosevelt went about his when he
was sent TO Albany, or as Grover
Cleveland went at his, years before.
Albany has been a good many times
the stepping-stOne on the way TO
the White House. The Hughes pro-
gram is one to appeal to progress
siye thought of the entire country.

A New Insurance Era?

Up in New York State a number
of the new Armstrong amendments
10 the insurance law went into eff
feet Tuesday. They are of interest
TO all of as. since they affect the
methods by which some of the large
companies that have poliey-holders
everywhere do business.
For example: Hereafter none of
the Big Three" can write more
than S15O,OOO,OO of new business in
any one year. All advances 10
agents, the cause Of losses amount
ing 10 many hundred thousands of
dollars yearly, must now cease. The
amount of money a company can
spend to get new business is limited.
Deferred dividend policies cannot be
issued hencefOrwm I. There must
be an annual distribution of the sur
plus, and the Policy-holder may re-
ceive his profits in cash, permit
them TO accumulate or apply them
10 additional insurance.
All these things are in the nature
of reforms, and they should, as in
tended, work TO the advantage of
the policy-holder, either by reducing
his rates or by giving him from the
vast SURPRISES that have hitherto
been piled up in useless heaps.
Whether or not the average man
will actually be benefited by the
changes is yet to be ascertained.
Many a well-intentioned law be-
comes weary of striving after a
little.
