GOVERNOR DENEEN URGES LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON WATERWAYS


Governor Deneen, in his message to
the legislature devotes considerable
space to the subject of deep water
way from the lakes to the gulf. He
also recommends the election of a
board of control to supersede the
state board of charities. The governor
says, in part:
"Gentlemen of the Forty-Sixth general
assembly: @
THE Forty-Fifth general assembly
k1905), enacted a statute providing
Tor the appointment of an internal
improvement commission. The act
imposed upon the commission the
duty of investigating the various
problems associated with projected
deep waterway from Lake Michigan
to the Gulf of Mexico and the recla-
NATION of lands subject~to overflow or
innndation.'
"The law creating the commission
also provided that report of it's in
vestigations and conclusions should be
submitted to the general assembly.

for the requirement of higher educa.
ton which can be found in any sim.
liar institution in the country.
State Highway Commission.
"The work of the state highway
commission shows a steady increase
since its formation three years ago.
That there has been very general
interest aroused in all sections of the
state concerning road improvement is
shown by the large number of public
meetings to which the commission has
been invited to send speakers.
THE majority of the public meet
ings attended were farmers institutes,
invitations being received from nearly
, every county in the state for a speak
er on the institute program.
THE commission furnishes without
charge. to the local officials estimates,
plans, and supervision for bridge con-
struction, thereby enabling the vari-
Gus communities to secure properly
designed bridges at o price consider
ably less than has hitherto. been paid
i In many instances for structures very
much poorer in design.
State Food Commission.
| During 1908. the state food commits
sion has published and distributed
| among the manufacturers and dealers
| in food products 5000 copies of its an
nual report. 10000 copies Of the new
state food law, $4,000 bulletins setting
forth the work accomplished by the
department and 5000 copies of the
new rulings and tentative standards
adopted by the department. In this
way. the trade has been made familiar
with the provisions of the new law
and the very general disposition to
comply with its requirements has been
gratifying.
! 81 trust that the general assembly
will give these questions the consider
alton which their merit and impor-
lance require.
Fish Commission.
"The important service rendered tc
the state by the fish commission /:
evident from the volume of business
| transacted by the fisheries along the
Illinois river, which is second only tt
the Columbia river in the extent o.
its fish industries. During the tive
years just passed. there have beer
shipped from nineteen towns on the
Illinois river more than 34,000.00l
pounds of edible fish, worth more thar
three quarters of million dollars.
'Thc supreme court has declared
unconstitutional certain provisions o
the law, passed at the last session
Of the general assembly, relating Il
fish and game including the sectio!
requiring the payment of a licens
fee by any person desiring to FISH il
any of the waters of the state. Tn
commission has been deriving por
ton of its revenue from such license
and the law should be SO amended a
to provide sufficient funds for tn
maintenance of the department.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"The recent biennial report of tn
bureau of labor statistics presents tn
results of an investigation of estab
lishments employing women, coverin
thirty-seven industries and eighty-si
| establishments, employing $500 fe

900 employed in such establishment:

ing for reports, the number of mines
has increased 81 per cent, employees
249 per cent, production 347 per cent,
and the value 273 per cent.
"Since the passage of the law en-
acted at the last session of the gen.
eral assembly requiring employers OF
labor to report accidents occurring to
their employees. 3,012 accidents. of
which go We're fatal and 1890 Were
non-fafal, have been reported"
The governor refers to the work Of
ton the state board factory inspec.
ton the state board of health and The
live stock commission and recon-
mends needed legislation in these de-
partments. He points out the import
ant work accomplished by the state
architect in the erection of building5
needed at the various state institu-
tons and SAYS that better compensc-
tion should be provided for this state
officer, and continues:
National Guard.
"The Illinois national guard is rec
ognized by the war department as one
of the most efficient organizations %
| its kind in the United States and il is
entitled to the earnest and liberal sup
| port of the citizens of Illinois.
"The efficiency of the national guard
was signaily demonstrated during tha
recent riots at Springfield, a detailed

report of the adjutant general.

State Grain inspection Department.
From 1871 when our state, for the
first time in this or any other coun-
try, assumed control of the classilica-
tion into standard grades of the grain
arriving at the principal primary mar
kets within the state, the work of the
lGrain Inspection department has been
carried on with hardly any change un-
til within the last two years. Up to
! that time. it was the custom to inspect
the grain in the cars on the track. This
method, which left the determination
of the grade of grain to a single i'll
spector, subject TO an appeal involving
delay. has, especially in recent years.

The essential clements of satisfac-
tory grain inspection are uniformity
and accuracy. Under the old system.
neither uniformity nor accuracy could
be obtained. To remedy the defect of
the old system, the department. about
