SEVERAL WAYS OF
q CONTROLLING GRAFT

There are other ways Of preventing
graft. If selfish control of legislation
is the essence of graft, then 1t is. Then
the way of preventing selfish control
of legislation is TO appoint somebody to
look about what is going on and APP
point somebody to talk about it as
much as you can. Put in from-the
outside an intelligent, interchangeable
man who knows a thing when he sees
it. and make him promise he will come
and tell you all about 1t. Nothing
ehills all of these processes like ex-
posture. Nothing kills them like light
Nothing checks them like a general
knowledge that they are going on.
But what we q In respect to
these matters is not all that is neces-
|sary. We do not want mere puriflca-
ton of politics; we do not want mere
stopping of graft; we are not going to
stop negative things: we want positive
things; we want to accomplish meas
ures that have been hanging fire for
nearly q generation. We are ashamed
thai while other commemorative have
been getting legislation along lines Of
reform we have waited in vain; have
had promises broken until we are
doubtful of all promises.
I'VE want legislation about q number
of things. In the first place, in order
that there shall not be graft, In order
that there shall be economy. we want
a revision. n discrimination of our whole
tax system, of our whole system of as
easements, so that nj taxes will be fair
and equal. no matter who is taxed.
II have heard 1t said that the cor
porations are not paying taxes in fair
proportion to the rest OF the State, and
l am going to tell you frankly that I
do not know whether they are or not,
and, in my opinion, there is not any
body who knows whether they are or
not.

| You have heard of a Legislature In

Have you never had any idea that the
legislation of this State was managed
from Washington? Have you never
received any intimation that h real
managers of legislation in this State
were the State Committee of the domi-
lnant party? Have you eve investi-
gated their management. and did you
think that they were managing that

COMMISSION MUST HAVE
POWER TO MAKE RATES.

"Then, when they have made their
valuation and examination, we want
then to have the full power of this
State to determine the rates. Is that
a glittering generality? Can anybody
else go any further? Does anybody
know the valuation upon which the
profits ought to be counted? Is any
body ready to say how much profit
ought to be allowed and provided for
by the charges? Is 1t to be 3 per cent,
or 4 per cent, or 6 per cent. or 6 per
cent? Are you going to put the per
centage in your legislation? Are you
wise enough and well informed enough
now. beforehand. to say what you
want the basis of the whole thing to
be? OF course. you are not. What
you want is honest men to get at this
thing and determine 1t for the purpose
of giving you reasonable rates"
Here MI. Wilson switched to a dis
~cussion of the automobile laws and de-
clared for reciprocal legislation.

taring generalities. l thought / was
indulging In the statement of princi-
pies, but If 1t is so long since these
gentlemen looked at principles that
thsy do not know them when they see
them, I am not surprised at their call
ing them 'glittering generalities.'
IT must say hat many special inter-
ests have enjoyed so-called legitimate
graft. They have known beforehand
what the Legislature was going to 90
and have known beforehand what it
was not going to do and have profited
accordingly. They have been perfectly
content when any kind of agitation
was going on, because they knew they
were safe in the Board of Guardians,
and the Board of Guardians were In
terested in the State of New jersey,
and that these gentlemen knew 1t be-"
forehand and should feel safe.

WOODROW WILSON
ATTACKS GRAFT IN
PATERSON SPEECH


severely. His pithiest sentence in MS
connection was, The selfish control oil
government is the essence or all graft
and graft is promoted by great extraV'
agance in the administration of gov
eminent"
He then stated that as commission
are reduced ara useless offices are
abolished there will be less graft In this
state. He has used no more concise
words at any time than these: "Thego7-
m that spends more money than
is necessary puts the pubic money In
the way of more persons than is neces-
sary."
His prescription was: ''Theebest way
to kill the selfish control of legislation
and stop graft is to appoint some one
to watch legislation and talk to'you all
he ear about it,"
After Those Higher Up.
Hugely did the crowd last night en-
joy his scathing a~rraignment Ok the

But | feel justice has miscarrfed when
1t stops short of the top. The most
guilty man is the one who sees how

Using the words ''Tardy justice is
too long due the w~orlsingmen of New
Jersey" he took the strongest position
favorable to an effective employers
liability law.
HI audience indorsed his condemna-
ton of the prevailing automobile legls-
lation, passed by a strongly Repub-
lican Legislature, and cheered MS
pledge that he would use his influence
