Miller Says He
IsNot Candidate
For Reelection
Those Seeking Nomination
Will Have Free Field SO
Far as He Is Concerned.
the Governor Declares
Big Budget Cut Planned
Expresses Hope That Fur
thcr Reduction of Ten
Millions May Be Made

Governor Nathan L. Miller, at the
Hotel Plaza, yesterday confirmed the
report that he is not candidate for
denomination next year.
When asked whether he had decided
to withdraw his name from considera-
tion for denomination by the organiza-
ton leaders, he said that was a matter
he was not concerned about at this
time, as it was premature.
at is a bridge have not reached
get" said the Governor, with smile.
When it was suggested that receptive
candidates for Governor had doubtless
read with interest the story about his
not being candidate next wear. tho
Governor said:
ut does not do any harm to bring
up the candidates and have then,
groomed little, so as to look them
over. They will all have free field
as far as I am concerned, assure
you"
s1o,0eO,oo0 Budget Cut Seen
Governor Miller also said that be
hoped the next state budget wouId
show reduction of $10,000,O00, as
compared with last year. 1t then was
about S135, 100000.
Il am quite certain that we shall be
able to make some reductions" said
the Governor. II am not yet prepared
to put peg in particular spot and
say that we shall not exceed that, but
hope that we shall effect a further re-
duction of s10,o00,000. The budget re-
quests, as they come in, have indicated
the part of most all PUBLIC officials of
efficient and economical adm nistra-
tion. The BUDGET requests last wear
we're about $200,000,000, you know. I
do not think they will exceed S145. .OOo.-
600 this year--the initial reou. SITS
without revision. / think it will be
somewhere around that, and, of course,
you know that with the very best we
can do they are bound to ask for all
they need. I think it will be easier to
take S20,000,000 out of S145, 900 900
than it was s70,000,o0o out of s2o1,-
100000. AS matter of fact, the things
that weren't included in the requests
last year brought the total amount up
to $210,000,00O"
State Departments More Efficient
And from your observation has
there been any appreciable impairment
of service rendered by the various sub
divisions of the state government"
II think there has been an improve
ment," replied the Governor. "Of
course, when you make reorganizations,
it takes time to get new machinery
working harm oniously, and of course
the big reorganization was the Tax
Department. They had very consid-
cradle readjustments to make, and it
takes time to get things fitted in, but
/ think that the actual record of work
accomplished. will show that in the
reorganized departments the work is
more efficiently done than it was be-,
fore"
Asked about the prospect of abolish
Ing the state income tax, the Governor
said:
~ don't see how we can do that.

for the charge that the charter would
in any sense be an Albany charter.
4 think in creating the impression
that there may be such . thing" said
Mr.. Metz, 1--WE are damaged already,
and I for one resent any such imrnta-
ton"
Alderman Keller, in voting, said that
he took the same position &c Mr.. Metz.
i resent the remarks of the Comp
troller at the outset of this crmmis-
sion," he added. II do not believe he
had any right to make the remarks he
did. do not know why he made them,
unless it was for the purpose Of dis
crediting the commission from the
start"
After the election Of Justice Scott
as chairman the presiding officer
thanked the commission for its express
sion OF confidence in him, excepting
ne aiified--Comptrol1e Craig. Then,
looking at the latter. he said:
Attempt to Discredit Commission
II very much regret that the Comp
troller has found it desirable this
morning to interject the objection that
ne has made. | regret very much that
he puts himself, at the outset, in q no.

announced in advance, without having
tho slightest conception of what the
commission will produce in the way of
report, that there will be a minority
report which the action Of the ma
jority will be opposed to. 1t is an
unfortunate and unhappy and, think.
an ominous commencement of our Ia
bors to have one Of our members. End
one from whom under ordinary circun-
stances we should be entitled to rc-
ceive great deal Of information and
assistance, here announce himself Mt
once as in antagonism to the commits
sion and whatever the members NAV
undertake to do. OF course. if we are
not to have the cooperation of the
Comptroller we shall have to get along
the best we can without it.
but | want to say here that the
only purposes l have in mind-I am
too old to have ambitions and nv
blood does not boil as it once did with
partisan considerations, and am quite
willing to look at everything from a
purely irnpersonal standpoint ana en-
tirely in the light of what is best for
the City Of New York"
Comptroller Craig then opposed q
motion to name committee of three
to map out the commissions program.
This was also objected to by Mayor
Hylan, the latter saying:
1--WE have had disgraceful exhibit
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

What | am trying to do il to ret the
expenditures Of The state within its
revenues. We had started in at 4
rate Of expenditure Of $25,0OO,O0O d
year IN excess Of the revenues. with
decreasing revenues. Even aecuritica
are not appraised as highly as they
were two years ago. The corporation
tax, the inheritance tax and the income
taxes are the three big sources Of rev.
cnue, and they are very seriously af-
fected by business conditions. and there
IL bound to be falling Off in rev
enues, and we have got to get where
we arc living within our means before
we can think Of reducing revenues"
Plans Central Purchasing BODY
Asked about new measures for the
conduct of the business Of the state
III order to save money, the Governor
said: = '~-
II am considering and having con-
sidered by experts the subject Of i'm
proving the purchasing methods of
the state. have not yet reached any
conclusion as to any recommendation
l may make on the subject, and am
still waiting for the reports of the
gentlemen who are studying the sub
9ect. II we should set up a central
purchasing organization, while it
would be the creation of a new or
gani.ation, it would be created largely
by transferring machinery which now
exists in different departments. For
example, the purchasing by the group
OF charitable institutions, so-called, is
now done in part through a central
committee and in part by the stew
ards.
Seek Business Mems Advice
Nov, l am not yet ready to say defi-
nitely even whether any change will be
attempted, but the subject has been un-
der investigation and have recently
called in from various companies that
have large purchases to make that could
be somewhat comparable to the state
business and have asked them to con-
slider the subject and advise me. When
| get their views and the views of the
various department heads that deal
with the subject, shall be prepared to
make recommendation. I cannot saw
yet"
Asked about the report that Governor
Allen of Kansas desired to debate with
him about the desirability of a St.
Lawrence River ship canal. Governor
Miller said that he knew nothing about
any arrangements, but that he stood
ready at any time to debate the sub
ject.
The Governor leaves for Charleston.

may come out Of this coramission or
the minority will be driven to prepare
form OF charter which, In their view.
will meet the needs Of the City of New
York.
Albany Control Charged
The parliamentary situation then
would be this-that the report Of the
majority would have the unquestionable
support OF tho Governor The Leris-
!nturc as now constiruted is not New
York City; that Is, it is not Lexis
lature from which members of New
York City have majority or in which
che majority part of New York City has
any great representation, and this
measure was passed over the opposed
votes OF the members of the Le1is-
iature from New York City represent
ing the majority Of our people.
NOW. in the light of those condi-
tions, which do not desire further to
Smplify, the situation presented at the
close OF this commissions activities. if
II is to be run from Albany rather
than to express tho views Of people
Of New York City, will be the presen-
tatlon OF o majority report agreeing
with the views Of the Governor and
probably of the majority in the Legis-
!!ature, the kind of a majority that was
identified with the passage of the act
creating the Transit Commission, and
there will be presented through the
commission or otherwise a charter ac-
cording to the conception of the
minority members.
1T may very well be that the
Legislature will have the power to
adopt the majority measure, but it
must come to the Mayor of the City Of
New York for his approval, and it is
going to die there or the Legislature
and the Governor are going to be in
tho position of forcing upon the people
Of the City Of New York a charter
which is not in accordance with their
desires. That is the very thing we
want to avoid, and we can make our
work effective here If we start out
with some decent regard for the people
of New York City"
Imputation Is Resented
The fact is that 1t would require
two-thirds vote in both branches of the
Legislature to override the Mayors
veto, and that more than one-third of
the Assembly is composed of members
OF the Mayors own party.
Mayor Hylan seconded the dilatory
motions Of Craig, end when il came to
voting on them, former Comptroller
Metz declared that there was no basis

pressed the people OF this city that
they are concerned so much for the
welfare Of the city Of New York as
/ ~ mas been to serve soine ulterior end
"Now, it could be very unfortunate
impression to 20 abroad that this char
ter revision commission, which has
origin in the same bit of legislation or
its companion but of legislation, should
ever acquire that character by the ne 10
pie OF the City Of New York. I'm
doubtcdly tho questions that will have
to be determined by the commission
Will present the greatest difficulties, pos
slbly the greatest division of opinion
thereto IN regard to tho right Of the
City Of New York to control and
operate its own public utilities.
Charges Commission Is Packed
"This subject has been the subject
Of very general discussion almost, I
may say, ever since Governor Miller
took office, and he has caused more dis
cussion, think, than any other man in
the state, and think It is time that
we have the entire confidence Of the
community which can be obtained for
the commission If we have as a chair
man scme one who has evidenced that
he has the confidence of the community
upon those and other municipal ques-
tions.
II think an unfortunate impression
has got abroad to the end that the
Governor may intend to unduly in
huence the action of the commission.
The morning papers carry the state
menu that former Justice Scott is to
be chairman
~ think that is very unfortunate
when the act itself expressly provides
that the chairman Of the commission is
to be selected by it's own membership.
and it seems to me that the Governor
should be the last one to be party to
the creation of the impression that the
commission has in any manner been
packed, If may use q terse cxpres
sion, so that the appointment Of a
chairman Of the commission isn't one
for the members, but rather with the
Governor.
"Now, think that would be very
unfortunate condition because of its
effect upon public opinion in this city
and the confidence Of our peopIe,
think If that line Of action is pursued
we are very likely to have this result:
That there will be majority and a
minority report on any charter that

can take it up, will be entirely will

Most Of the hour and half that
the commission was in session was
taken up by Comptroller Craig in at
tacking the commission. In moving
for postponcment of the organization
Of the commission until after the
Mayor had made up his mind if he
would lose his Office by qualifying as
member of the commission, Comptrol-
Ter Craig said:
"It cannot be forgotten that the
measure under which we have Just
begun to organize was introduced by
Senator Meyer as companion of the
so-called Meyer resolution for the in
vestigation of the various activities Of
municipal government Of the CITY Of
New York, and we in the city here
have had experience in the way that
pa rticular department was conducted.

the dairy interests and milk farmers
of the country
These are among the reasons or
ganiZed dairy farmers are now fight
ing the cocoanut COW and filled milk,
which lacks the essential life-giving
vitamines of the real article, fresh
from Natures laboratories on a mil
lion farms.
Damage to Eggs in Transit.
The average farmer ships no eggs
but men who have large flocks and
make a business of egg production do
their own shipping. On a trip to
southern Illinois last summer we
counted 25 cases of eggs on the plat
form of country station having only
40 people in the town. AS this burg
was within 100 miles of st. Louis the
inference was that these eggs were
billed to that point. But not so; they
were headed for New York by ex-
press, in cold storage cars. All had
been gathered within 48 hours of the
shipping date, such express shipments
being made tri-weekly along that line.
1t is interesting to know that the
railways and expires companies paid
out more than 100000 in 1920 for
+, eggs damaged in transit; also to know
that where the damage does not run
more than five percent no allowances
are made. Nor are allowances made
when secondhand cases or filters are
| used. They estimate that we lose S..
100000 worth of eggs annually in han
| ding does not seem improbable, tax
| ing this last fact into account.
