Plans to Reduce Expense.

Plans to Reduce Expense.
| The first message to the legisla
ture by Judge Williams as governor
will probably recommend abolition o
| several boards. Among these are the
state capitol commission and the
board of prison control. Abolition Of
a number of attorneyships in the de-
partments will also be recommended
1t is the idea of the governor that
the office of the attorney general is
the proper place for handling all law
questions that may come up in what
ever department of the state govern
ment The message will also point
out the desirability of every office in
the state except those pertaining to
the uplift Of humanity being made
sustaining.

under this rule if the governor shall
have his way is the corporation com
mission. He favors making charge in
the form Of fees for such of the busi-
ness as goes through that depart
ment as may be burdened Herewith
to the extent of paying the way of
the commission. In this same depart
ment it is expected that some reduc-
ton of attorney expense will be sug-
gested, both in the regular employees
and in the special counsel employed
in big cases. The last legislature ap-
$25,000 to be used in de-
tending the &c fare suits. 1t is the
dea of the governor that this law
business of the state can he carried
IN by the regular law officers of the
state.

In June, 1902, John William Smith received his di-

1t is hard enough for white man to start practising
law in New York. John William found the job for
colored harder yet. To support himself Temporal

tea district receiving dollars and fifty cents day
