Woodrow Wilson Declares
For More Stringent Laws

Trenton, N. j., January 17-Gover.
nor Woodrow Wilson today assumed
the duties of chief executive of New
Jersey, and delivered his inaugural
address.
Sweeping reforms in legislation,
mot the foolish ardor of too sanguine
or too radical reform" the governor
says, 'but merely the tasks that are
evident and pressing" are urged Chief
among them are the enactment of an
employers liability law providing for
compensation to injured and disabled
workmen; the perfection and the ex-
tension of the direct primary law to all
elective offices ,and to party nomina-
tions; law restricting the issuance
of charters to corporations and pro-
viding for close scrutiny and regulation
of existing corporations; the enact
ment of a conservation law and re-
vision of thhe existing method of tax
alton. He said, in part:
"The opportunity of our day in the
field of politics no man can mistake
who can read any, even the most SUI
perficial signs of the times. We have
never seen a day when duty was more
plain, the task to be performed more
obvious. the way in which to accom-
plish it more easy to determine. The
whole world has changed within the
lifetime of men not yet in their thir-
ties; the world of business and, there
fore, the world of society and the
world of politics. The organization
and movement of business are now,
and upon novel scale. Business has
changed so rapidly that for a long
time we were confused, alarmed, be-
wildered in a sort of terror of the
things we had ourselves raised up.
But corporations are no longer
hobgoblins which have sprung at us
out of some mysterious ambush, nor
yet unholy inventions of rascally rich
men, nor yet the puzzling devices by
which ingenious lawyers build up huge
rights out of multitude of small
wrongs; but merely organizations of
a perfectly ineligible sort which the
law has licensed for the convenience
of extensive business; organizations
which have proved very useful but
which have for the time being slip
ped out of the control of the very law
that gave them leave to be and that
can make or unmake them at pleasure.
We have now to set ourselves to con-
troll them, soberly but effectively, and
to bring them thoroughly within the
regulation of the law.
in the first place it is plain that
our laws with regard to the relations
Of employer and employe are in many
respects wholly antiquated and inn

RESOLUTION TO REMOVE
TO GUTHRIE INTRODUCED

Oklahoma City, Jan, 1S.-A sensa-
tion in connection with the capital re-
moval is scheduled to be sprung in the
Isenate today, when Senator Hatchett
will introduce joint resolution to take
the temporary seat of government back
to Guthrie, because of the failure of
Oklahoma City to provide adequate
quarters for the state departments and
fire proof accommodations for valuable
state records. The question was dis
cussed in a democratic senate caucus
today after reports had been received
from the board of public affairs that
the removal expense had not been paid
in accordance with an agreement which
Governor Haskell stated he had made
with Oklahoma City
The senate bill providing for the
loan to the Oklahoma City school
board of $4,000 to build temporary
capitol here which would be purchas-
ed by the school board when the per-
manent capitol is built, will be report
ed unfavorably by the senate commit
tee today as the result of cerbal
opinion of the attorney general that
such a loan from the state school funds
cannot be made legally without
three-ffths vote of the people compris-
ing the school district.

when he joined with the Democrats
in electing two Democrats and two
Republicans TO city Offices instead Of
the Republican caucus nominees.
Furthermore. many Of them think
something should be done TO prevent
such combinations in the future. Just
how this can be done. however, no
body seems to know.
Political Wilmington is still talk
ing about Councilman Conner's act
and are wondering where the thing
will end. Conner is quoted as having
said that he was done last Thursday
night, intimating that he had got
ten what he wanted. and would here
after act with the Republicans in
matters that come before Council
There are some who believe that he is
now sorry for the course he took. bui
Conner himself has not yet publicly
announced any such feeling.
On the other hand many persons
fear Conner will keep on flibusterinl
