URGES DIRECT NOMINATION
Governor of New York In Special Mes
sage to Legislature Advocates
Inheritance Tax.

Albany, N. Yin special mes
sage to the legislature, which con-
vened in extraordinary session, Gov
ernor Hughes recommended the enact
ment of law making suitable provi-
sion for the direct nominations of
candidates for public offices.
Pubic sentiment is that the in
strumentalities of party management
shall not be so arrayed as to facilitate
the purposes of those who would sub
vert government to their selfish ad-
vantages," the governor said. "The
passage of bill for a progressive in
heritance tax with a suitable method
of graduation, which would appeal to
the common sense Of fairness, might
solve, in some degree, and perhaps al
together, the question of procuring the
needed increase in revenue" he says.

raven who came to the aviary last
year. "Hullo! Jack!" is his favorite
remark, and 1t is the voice of one
who meets an unworthy friend. Soon

lammergeier who shares his cage
(relates the London Spectator). The
lammergeier had a piece of meat
which the raven desired, but he was
unwilling to surrender 1t, The raven
hoped up. "Hullo! Jackl" he began,
and the lammergeier, aghast at the
voice of man, dropped his dianer and
fled. But the lammergeier was never
bird OF much spirit.
