Eliminate Tecnicalities

Recommending changes in the state law through which will be eliminated those technicalities which. he said so oftn de- feated justice. and other matters of pub lie concern, Gov. Joseph M. Brown sub mitted today his annual message to the Georgia legislature. It probably will prove to be his last to the present as- sembly, for on July 1 he will vacate the governors chair and will be succeeded by Hoke Smith.
 The chief executive called the attention of the members to what he considered an alarming number of cases where crim- inals escapd through trivial loophols in the statutes. and. as matter of public safety, asked that that condition be changed He made no specific recommen- dation in or did he put forward any bill in this connection.

Committee on Inauguration

Arrangements for the inauguration or Governor Smith are in the hands of a committee of three from the Senate and five from the house, designated today by joint resolution.
 Organization of the two houses was of a routine nature, no fights over the va rious offices eseloping. John M. Staton of Atlanta was chosen president of the senate. the position he held last session. John NJ Holder was elected speaker of the house without opposition. Little other business was transacted, although it was rumored that some action might be taken over the lynching yesterday near Monroe, Ga, of two negroes who had not been guarded by troops, as many persons of that section thought was necessary.
 Discussion over the senatorial election of July Il held most of the members att tention throughout the day. Gov.-Elect HoBe Smiths silence on the matter when he is generally conceded to stand a good chance of being elected. puzzles them. Senator J. M. Terrell, whose successor Is to be chosen, is making a more vigorous campaign than a few days back. Thomas F. Watsons friends are still making claims for him.

Commission Government

Governor Brown also advised a law giving cities and towns the right to adopt the commission form of government.
 On the subject of railroads he remind cd the house and senate that the owners and promoters of common carriers were citizens the same as those who patron ized the roads, and were entitled to the same protection. He asserted that the state, in order to further her needed de-
 velopment. needed 60 per cent more new railroad mileage, and that many existing lines needed double-traclSng. He de- clared these improvements could not be had unless the state assumed an attitude of protection to investors so capital would
 be attracted to Georgia projects.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-29
Cher Recommendations

He also recommended that the state railroad commission be reduced to three members, that the office of special attor- ney to the commission be abolished, and that at least one member of the body be q man familiar with technical operation of railroads.
 Governor Brown, having been overrun with requests for pardons, asked .legis- lation to lift some of such work from the chief executive, whom, he declared. had become to be looked upon as a court of last resort for convicted persons.
 Among other things asked were the creation of the office of state highway commissioner to look after good roads; economy in the expenditure of public money; more prompt payment of teach ers' salaries; reorganization of the state s fiscal system and placing 1t onto a busi- ness-lilSe basis: better system of tax assessment; matters relating to the reg isteration of voters and holding of pri- mary elections; payment of the execu- tives expenses to the annual conference of state governors: creation of a depart ment of labor and things concerning public education.

Legislature of Georgia Is
 Convened
GOV.BROWN'S MESSAGE
Retiring Executive FavOrs Commis- sion Government Bill and Sug- gests Reforms-Senatorial
 Talk Is Indulged In

Atlanta. June 2s.-The Georgia legisla- ture convened today for It's biennial ses- sion. perfected its organization and pre- pared for the inauguration or GoV.-fieo' Hoke Smith next Saturday
 Both houses devoted most of the ume thev were In session to listening to the final passage of Gov. Joseph M. Bro"n' the retiring executive. which was read in full. The governor recommends that the numher of railroad commissioners oe reduced 10 three and that the office or special attorney for the commissloh oe abolished. He favors general oiii pe. hitting any city to vote on connfnissioii government; the establishment or oe- partment of labor and the creation or the office of road commissioner with co cooperating advisory board. He declares that the state should have no laws that are not enforced and that those that cannot be maintained should be repealed.
 While the general assembly was prepar- ing to get down to business, the several candidates, receptive and otherwise, for the senatorial toga of the late Senator Clay were busy laying their fences Tor the contest anticipated when the iegis- lature begins balloting for senator on July il. Most important in the days de- velopment in the senatorial race was the announcement of Railroad Commissioner Murphy Candler of DeKalb that he would be a. candidate only in the event Hoke Smith declines to allow his name to be used.
 MT. Smith continues to maintain the at- tltude of silence he assumed when he first was suggested for the Senate. His friends. however, are openly active in his behalf and some of them are venturing the prediction that he will be nominated on the first ballot.
 "The situation looks rosy enough to me" was the confident comment of Sen ator Terrell. Both Pleasant A. Stovall and Judge W. A. Covington appeared equally optimistic when questioned as to their chances.
 The usual large number Of bills were introduced in the two houses, although there was none among them of very great importance. Both houses will be in ses- sion tomorrow.
