been done during the present admin
istrstion in reference to the simplifca-
ton of procedure in courts of record
and gives a list of the laws which
have been passed during that time on
this subject.
Public Utilities.
The Governor discusses the public
utilities question and the ACCESSIBILITY
of creating separate commissions for
Chicago and the remainder of the
State. The message states that it is
a serious question whether or not all
that is necessary or desirable in con-
nection with the appointment of this
commission is to supervise and regu-
late the issuance of stocks and bonds
by public service corporations and to
secure for the public such information
concerning their operation and such
auditing and supervision OF their finan-
cial affairs as will make it impossible
for any such corporation to mislead
the public in the future regarding
these matters.
The message suggests that cities
should have the control of such cor
porations and favor such laws permit
ting the purchase of public utilities
properties by cities.
The message recommends that a
sinking fund large enough to enable
the city at the expiration of the
franchise period to buy in the prop,
erty if it seems best to Go so, be
created.
The law should further provide
however, that If purchase is not desir.
able the proceeds of this sinking funt
can then be devoted 10 certain classes
Of public improvement and a SECOND
sinking fund should tnen be accumu
lated during the extension period O
the franchise. BY some such provi
sion for amortization the city will b,
put in position of real independence,
in the matter of purchasing franchise
and If the service Of the company con
tinues good, and fund will be created
which will be of vast utility in making
such public improvements.
The Governor recommends tn
adoption of rules by the General AS
sembly that will take from the pre-
siding officers thereof the power {,
control the course of legislation an
prevent discussion of bills and vot
thereon.

efficiency and economy with which he
Government as a whole is at prescAf
conducted. The message states TINT
the University of Illinois has facilities
for organizing a work OF this kind
promptly and efficiently and for Sc
iecting q corps of officials qualified to
conduct it. In the Governors opinion
it would be wise to engage in this pre-
liminary work before the calling of
any convention for a general revision
OF our State constitution or for the
framing of new one.
Corporation Law.
The Governor recommends the re-
vision OF the corporation law so that
corporations may meet modern con-
ditions in the conduct OF their bust
ness while giving the state proper
powers OF regulation and control.
That such law was vetoed by him
heretofore because of its provision to
enable one corporation to own the
stock of another. A proper edition
of the law would bring large revenues
to the State.
The Governor recommends the en-
actment of blue sky law.
Banking.
The Governor renews his recon-
mendation for revision OF the bank
ing law contained in his message OF
1907 in reference to private banks.
The message also recommends the
adoption OF uniform sales act and a
uniform transfer of stock act
Uniform Accounting by Counties and
municipalities.
The Governor recommends the
adoption OF uniform system of &C
counting by counties and municipal
tiles to enable citizens to compare ex-
| penditure and income OF similar po-
litical bodies and furnish a basis for
