COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM
FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS
GOVERNMENT IS URGED.

The result is that ind.vidual institu-
tons are authorized to do several kinds
of work at once, for some of which they
we're not intended. and are, therefore,
not equipped. They very properly have
their separate establishments under
separate boards of managers, but these
boards and the superintendent of the
several institutions should be brought
into cooperation and a comprehensive

WOMEN'S
AND MORE SAFEGUARDS
FOR HEALTH SUGGESTED.

In this connection / would urge very
strongly upon the Legislature the need
of a reformatory for m A suita-
BILE site has already been chosen in
Hunterdon tounty, near Clinton, aud
purchased by the authority OF the
State, and men and women whom the
whole State knows and trusts have
prepared plans for an institution for
which all recognize the immediate need.
There 5 another matter which
should no longer be left at loose ends
without thorough reorganization. I
mean the supervision of the health Of
the State. I intend no criticism of our
excellent Board of Health, out only
repeat the testimony of its own mem
bers when 1 say that our present means
for safeguarding the health of the State
are entirely inadequate. 1t is not gen.
orally realized how vast, complicated
and difficult a matter it has become

really the duty of the State to do for
the health Of it's people. Every sort
Of infection must be guarded against.
A costly war must be waged on the
mosquito and the housefly. those active
breeders of disease. The dissemination
of poisonous gases from factories, from
locomotive engines and from the vast
bodies of smoke which pervade our
cities must be prevented. The dairy
business must be sharply supervised
along with cold storage and the hand
ling OF foodstuffs in the markets.

justice by the people should be simpli-
fed and facilitated. Our legal proce-
dure Is too technical, too complicated.
too expensive. too little adapted to the
use of the poor and unschooled. With
splendid courts of ~undoubted integrity,
we nevertheless feel that the rich It'll
CANT can tire the poor litigant out. n
that the common run of men have good
reason to dread litigation and doubt
its outcome. We are proud of u
bench; why should we not put ur-
selves In a position to be equally proud
of our administration of justice. as
based upon the best reformed models?
A little expert advice will put us In a
way to discover the right legislation
for this purpose. without waiting for
amendments of the constitution. 1t is
not the courts we wish to mango SO
much as the methods of procedure.
Both parties are pledged also to take
up the matter of jury reform; to con-
slider in particular the methods by
which grand juries are chosen, in order
to devise. if possible, a process OF cnoice
by which abuses of a serious KING
which have arisen to the scandal or
public opinion may hereafter be pre-
vented. l commend this deeply I'M

MUST HAVE A SYSTEM
TO PROTECT NATURAL
RESOURCES OF STATE.

Are we systematic, have we properly
combined our instrumentalities and
adequately equipped them with author
ity in the great matter of the conser-
walton of our naturally splendid and
abundant resources? Conservation Is
not a matter which car now be salts
factorily handled by an occasional act
Of legislature. We must hit upon a
system, and somebody in particular
must be charged with the responsible
ity of administering it-not a half
dozen different bodies, or ven two or
three, but some one body served and
assisted by the constant and intelligent
advice of experts. This great matter,
too, should be brought within the scope
of inquiry, which I earnestly urge you
to authorize and provide for. I do not
mean that immediate individual steps
toward conservation cannot be taken
by statute. but that we must hereafter
depend upon system. not upon the
casual vigilance of individual legisla-
tors.

RECOMMENDS BETTER
SAFEGUARDS FOR MEN
EMPLOYED IN FACTORIES

1--WE have done much toward secur-
ing justice and safety for the working
men of the State in our factory laws,
u tenement-house legislation ana our
employers liability act, but we nave
not done enough. Our Workmen very
Justly demand further legislation with
regard to the inspection and regulation
of factories and workshops. and rec
ommend legislation of this kind to your
very careful and earnest consideration.
I recommend, moreover, the passage at
an early date of an act requiring n
railways operating within this State to
provide their trains with
crews. Our sister State of Pennsyi-
vania has adopted legislation OF this
kind, and the railways whose lines
cross from Pennsylvania into New Jer-
scey actually carry full crews to the
border of this State and then send their
trains on through New Jersey with d.
unfinished crews, to the jeopardy. as l
believe, of life and property, requiring
more of the small crew than 1t can
safely and thoroughly do.

efficiency. In my judgment the ma
jority of the commission should be ex-
perienced and trusted business men,
and they should have the benefit Of the
advice of men who have made a special
study of scientific efficiency in prac-
teal administration. 1t should report
to the Legislature at az early a date
as possible. It's report would serve to
concentrate public opinion upon one
of the most vital matters OF govern
ment, whether looked at from the point
of view Of purity or of serviceability.
and with public criticism centred upon
a particular scheme of reorganization.
satisfactory legislation could readily be
obtained.
THE scope of this commissions in
curry ought to be so wide as to include
our whole method of assessing and
equalizing taxes. You have only TO ex-
anime the reports of State tax
boards to realize how unsatisfactory
our present methods are. 1t is not
enough that there should be boards to
which individuals can resort to remedy
inequalities In taxation and assess
ment. Powers of correction fall short
OF accomplishing what ought to be ac-
oomplished. Uniform standards ought
to be established upon the initiative
and authority of some central board Of
supervision. That body ought to have
independent and exclusive powers Of
Reconsideration within certain general
limits defined in the law. In several
States of the Union-in Wisconsin, for
example, and in Observation-Disclosures
missions of this kind have been set up
with exceedingly satisfactory results,
whose powers are powers of active su-
pervision. and through whose instru-
mentality inequalities and inequities
are being corrected upon a definite
plan, not in individual cases only, not
merely for the persons who can afford
to appeal and protest, bit by SYSTEM
attic means and upon the initiative of
the commission itself.

REVISION OF
ENTIRE TAX SYSTEM
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

You have only to ask the average
taxpayer whom YOU meet on the street
what he thinks of the assessments to
which he is subjected to find how many
varieties Of assessment there are in
the State. You have only to examine
the average tax assessors books to
discover how little system there is and
how little he actually knows of the
property he assesses. How many of
the tax districts in the State are
mapped n Plotted? How many as
SCISSORS can produce definite evidence
and data t. support their assessments ?
Undertake to debate with men from
half a dozen counties the question
whether we should continue to main
tain our present system of county tax
boards. and you win al once discover
that in some counties they are valued
and deemed efficient; in others smiled
at and regarded as entirely unneces-
and fundamentally expensive.
Have the State Boar OF Assessors and
our State Board for the Equalization
of Taxes powers that can bring a sat-
isfactory system out of these varieties
and co~nfusions? If they have not,
somebody should have, for the whole
matter needs reconsideration
Along with this systematic recon-
alteration of u methods OF assess
ments and taxation should go q very
thorough examination of our tax sys-
tenn itself; It's basis and principle. Per-
haps we shall be In a better position
after making u machinery suitable
and adequate to discover the weak
places in the bases of taxation. Soon
er or later we shall be obliged to ex-
anime them to the bottom.

CREATION OF EFFECTIVE
HEALTH
DUTY OF THE STATE.

Oyster beds must be inspected and
guarded against pollution. The adul-
iteration of foods must be prevented.
There must be some thorough and eff
cient system of keeping our lakes and
streams from pollution. Sewage must
be supervised and properly regulated.
Systematic war must be made with
such diseases as tuberculosis, and the
State must be guarded against the in
PRODUCTION of fatal epidemics from
every quarter. Garbage collection and
disposal must be , systematized and
regulated. Thorough inspection must
be carried into a score of places where
disease is most likely to originate
Have we the machinery for these great
tasks? Have we made sure of the
service of experts, doctors. engineers
biologists, whose advice will enable us
to feel that we have done our duty by
the people of the State in all the i'm
portant matter of the conservation OF
their lives and health? Is 1t not oul
duty to consider very carefully and al
once the creation of a thoroughly effec-
tive department of health?
1.-THE duty of the State to make
every service 1t renders the people eff
ficient, responsible and economical,
seems to be one of the first and most
manifest duties of government. Next
to that is the duty in a self-governed
country of making the representative
body from which legislation proceeds
in fact representative. as nearly as
possible a mirror of the character and
opinion of the communities of which
the State is composed. 1t seems to
me of the first consequence, there
fore, that the promise we have made
the people of the State that W. would
at once take the initial steps neces-
sary to effect a return to a system of
Assembly districts in place of county
delegations to The Legislature should
be redeemed, n that a constitutional
amendment for that purpose should be
submitted to he vote of the people
at the earliest possible time.
