GOVFORTDEMANDS
PRIMARY LAW
IN JERSEY
Will Call Special Session il
Legislature Does Not Act
SENDS STRONG MESSAGE
Says Nominations Should Be Taken
From Hands Of Those Who Serve
Only Selfish interests

Trenton, March l7.-Goy Fort sent
a sensational message to the legisla-
ture yesterday afternoon demanding
the enactment of an open primary
law. The governor did not send his
message until after many of the party
leaders had pleaded with him that to
do so would precipitate a party fight
that would be disastrous, but he
brushed all these obstacles aside and
co1ched his message in strong Ian
guage, declaring that if the legisla-
ture did not act at this session on the
matter he would probably call the
lawmakers back in special session.
Party leaders are aghast, and de-
clare that Gov. Fort has precipitated
contest which will be equal to that
stirred up by Gov. Hughes in New
York in his demands for various re-
forms The lawmakers are now con
yinced that the governor has broken
with all the Republicans machine
leaders and the state committee and
has cast his lot with the New Idea re-
form leaders Demands for the Utili-
ties bill and other reform measures
are now fully expected from the gov
ernor.
The governor uses strong language
in demanding primary reform, and
says.
If the nomination machinery is
left to the manipulation of those who
serve only their own or some one
else's interests rather than the peo-
pie, there is not much hope in the
future for the Republic. This will be
more and more apparent as the pop
ulation of the country increases. The
question may as well be faced first as
last. 1t will not down. The people
mean to rule in state and nation and
that party and political leader is wise
who sees and recognizes this TRUTH
The governor says the people are
entitled to have the best law that can
be devised and they are determined
TO have IT, The declaration that he
will call an extra session If need be
is contained in this paragraph:
The issue is so vital and far-reach-
ing in our state that / deem it to be
my duty to state clearly the obligation
which ! consider has been cast upon
both the legislative and executive
branches of government, and to adj
wise the legislature that an adjourn
ment without some action on this ALI
question will cast upon the
executive duty to seriously consider
the reconyening of the legislature,
that the party pledges may be kept
as the people demand"

TARIFF REVISION
WILL BEGIN IN
HOUSE TODAY
Payne Bill Scheduled For It's
Introduction
Mr.. TAFrS FIRST MESSAGE
Calls Attention to the Purpose Of the
+. Special Session and the Neces-
sIty for Speedy Action

Washington, March l7.-Tariff MAX
ing by congress will begin today.
President Taft sent his message on
the subject yesterday and the Payne
bill, as finally drafted by the Republi-
can members of the Ways and Means
committee, is ready to be placed be-
fore the House.
President Taft's message. which
had been awaited with great interest,
was presented to Congress soon after
1t convened. 1t was as follows.
To the Senate and House of Repres-
entatives.
have convened the Congress i'm
this extra session in order to enable
II to give immediate consideration to
the revision of the Dingley Tariff act.
Conditions affecting production, man
ufacture, and business generally have
SO changed in the last twelve years as
TO require readjustment and revis-
ion of the import duties imposed by
that act More than this, the present
Iarift act, with the other sources OF
government revenue, does not furnish
income enough to pay the authorized
expenditures. By July / next, the ex-
cess or expenses over receipts for the
current fiscal year will equal $780,
100000.
The successful party in the late
election is pledged to revision of the
tariff The country, and the business
community especially, expect it. The
prospect of change in the rates of
import duties always cause a suspen-
sion or halt in business because of the
uncertainty as to the changes to be
made and their effect. 1t Is therefore
of the highest Importance that the
new bill should be agreed upon and
passed with as much speed as possible
consistent with its due and thorough
consideration.
For these reasons | have deemed
the present to be an extraordinary oc-
casion, within the meaning of the con-
stitution justifying and requiring the
calling of an extra session.
In my inaugural address stated In
a summary way the principles upon
which in my judgment, the revision OF
the tariff should proceed, and indica-
ted at least one new source of revenue
that might be properly resorted to in
order to avoid future deficit. It is
not necessary for me to repeat what
then said
| venture to suggest that the vital
business interests of the country re-
quire that the attention of the con-
gress In this session be chiefly devot-
ed to the consideration of the new tar
if bill, and that the less time given
to other subjects of legislation in this
session the better for the country.
William H. Taft.

one is born.
In the review il is declared that the
facilities of the Boston and Maine
railroad are now taxed to the utmost,
and that when the full tide Of business
was on in 1907 this road was unable
to take care of the business offered to
it by its western connections This
is used to accentuate that if the fran
chise were granted the Boston and
Maine would not be anywhere near
able to handle the business that would
be given to it by the Buffalo, Roch-
ester and Eastern. 1t would demand
double the capacity from the Boston

is said that the enormous cost of the
proposed road and the lack of western
terminal connection are regarded as
fatal weaknesses Of the applicant,

Immediately. but IL The matter X
carefully looked over II win he seen
that there is scarcely any reason fof
such a radical movement as this
The claim has been made that the
deputies are allowed aOthing except
their Regular fee of ten cents per mile
for the service of writs, but this is
slightly in error: section 62l0 of the
public statutes, provides that he fees
of officers shall be the same as before
with the exception of the reading fee
of six cents per writ, which has been
discontinued as useless. For making
copies of writs, the deputies are al
lowed seven cents per folio of 100
words, the former price being 10 cents
per folio, but the average price of a
county court writ is nearly one dollar
while the costs of a Justices writ is
about IS cents. Thus it will be seen
that no seriots damage has been done
to the fees of the deputies through
this channel
The last question raised by the dep
uties is in regard to processes from
county court; the law in this respect
makes il plain that civil processes
from county court shall be
served the same as before, but in the
case of criminal processes from coun-
ty court, the sheriff himself is obliged
to serve them without other pay than
mileage, and If he is not able to go
in person, he must pay some of his
deputies to do the work for him. BY
putting the sheriff on a salary It was
thought best to make the services of
processes an adjunct of the
office without further fees.

In the election yesterday politics do

the voters picked out their men as

partisan feeling. There were very
