Recommends That the Initiated Bill Backed
By Labor to Strengthen the Workmen's
COMPENSATION Be Passed.

new constitution of the State and en-
acted in his first administration.
He recommended that the initiated
bill backed by labor to strengthen the
workmen's compensation law and elimi-
nate private liability insurance compan-
les from the State be adopted, and that
allowance for death claims under the
law be increased. He suggested reduc-
ing the number of registration days and
making primary day also registration
day and shortening campaigns by hold
ing the primaries in September instead
of August He commended the COM
mission headed by former Governor Will
lis for recommending the establishment
of home for crippled children in its
report and urged establishment of such
an institution. Other recommendations
follow:
That relief for cities be provided by
removing sinking fund and interest
charges from the first 10 mills limita
ton of the Smith one per cent law, upon
approval of the electors of the local
taxing districts.
That the State automobile and liquor
tax be not surrendered to local communi
ties as a measure of relief for debt
burdened cities.
Creation of an Agricultural Council
composed of the governor, secretary of
agriculture, dean of the College of Ag-
ricuture at Ohio State University and
director of the State experimental sta
ton in order to coordinate the various
branches.
That bureau of markets be estab-
lished.
Survey of the State election machin-
cry with view to checking eXpendi-
lures of election boards; the adoption
of an absent voters law; amendment to
the primary law to provide for the ro-
tation of names on the ballot, and re-
peal of the Hulswitt act passed by the
last legislature and providing for the
printing of State and national tickets
on the same ballot.
Ample appropriations for State insti-
tutions of learning, for the regulation
of the State banking department, inspec-
tion of building and loan associations
and for the inspection department of

Columbus, Ohio.-Like the cracker of
a whip, it was the end of Governor
Cox's first message to the General As
sembly that attracted the most attention.
1t was at the close that he recommend
ed sweeping investigation of campaign
expenses in the recent election. He
urged the appointment of commission
with power to employ counsel, summon
persons and papers and swear witnesses
for the purpose of discovering how
much was spent and how it was spent
by both organizations and candidates.
He would have the commission learn
just what organizations took part in the
campaign, how much they collected and
from whom.
"The facts as adduced," he said, will
then be safe guide as to the necessity
of STRENGTHENING the corrupt practices
act, or more vigorously enforcing exist
ing law, or both"
In introducing his recommendations
he said "The sums of money expend-
ed for so-called political purposes are
assuming such magnitude as TO cause
seemingly well-founded alarm, if not to
justify the belief that the legitimate pur-
pose of campaigning is being exceeded
Unfettered by law this tendency might
result in the waters of our free institu-
tons being poisoned at their very base.
1t is not necessary to eXpend large
amounts of money for the promotion of
worthy cause, and inversely, any cause
or candidacy having behind it unprece-
dented financial support is likely to be
regarded with suspicion. 1t may, through
legislation, be necessary to restrain ir-
responsible organizations whose exist
ence and activities are born of hidden
design, conceived by some interest afraid
to operate in the open"
The governor completed reading his
message amid applause at II 20 and the
joint session then adjourned. 1t is ex-
pected that after brief sessions re-
cess will be taken to give time for the
selection of the committees.
Following a precedent set by him four
years ago the governor appeared in per-
son before the legislature in joint ses-
sion to deliver his message He re-
iterated his creed of four years ago with
reference to new laws called for by the

bic political institution of the American
people of all classes"
Messrs. Julian and Pfaff announced
the Wilson Business Mems League will
conduct an aggressive advertising and
publicity campaign in Cincinnati in sup
port of President Wilson, the National
Democratic Administration and the To-
cal Democratic party
This fell like a bomb on those who
had the interests of the Democratic par
ty at heart.
Upon investigation it was learned that
this scheme is outside of the regular
Democratic party, and is evidently kept
alive in the hope that some broken
down merchants can be slipped into the
federal building This Wilson Business
Mems Club is really the Mike Keefe
Democrats, and they occupy the same
status as the Bernard or Devanney
branch, whose main object is to obstruct
and annoy the regular party and throw
some more Cincinnati dust in the eyes
of Senator Pomerene by further confus-

ing the situation when the time comes
for him to recommend any new appoint
ments.
Again it can be used to trade with
the regulars when the city election comes
on.
Mr.. Julian himself is very esteem
able gentleman and no doubt his inten-
tions are good, but if he wants to help
his party he should do it with the regu-
lar organization, as the present scheme
will rebound to the advantage of the
Republicans.
He is too big man to run bunk as
sociation to be used against his own
party.
Mr.. Julian knows that "the League
has very few members outside of the
officers, and nobody connected with il
could carry his own ward.
The only stock they have is Julian:
bank roll, and will he use it to the dis
advantage of the party he claims to
support?

Lest we forget the Pain, Panic and

sum of $1,000, 100000 increase in wages
during 1916, but that employers as we'll
have proiited by the unequaled prosperi-
ty in the United States.
ut is a significant fact that in most
instances the wage increases have come
voluntarily, indicating the great conf

Hartford, Conn.-The state supreme

Trade unionists have assumed Tor

position and have been conducting an
agitation in favor of amending the law
to include occupational diseases.
