New-York tribune., 1921-03-09

it Is essential that legislation for the
stopping of wasted effort and unnec-
essary expenditures in state service
be passed. He indorsed the various
measures which provide for constitu-
tional amendments which would create
an executive budget system; establish
state lunacy commission; reduce the
number Of elective state officers from
seven to four, with four-year term
for each official. and bring the present
184 state departments, commissions and
boards down to twenty-one general de-
partments.
The onetime Governor was par
ticularly emphatic in his Endorsement
of the four-year term for state officers
and the creation of an executive budget
system. He said that two years is too
short period for any administration
to put permanent policy into effect.
There was little opposition to the
measures. The only objections voiced
came from representatives. of organ
cations devoted to the interests Of
the feeble-minded and the insane.
They charged it would be a mistake
to place supervision Of these two
classes under one commission.
Among those who spoke for the meas
ures were Adelbert Moot, of Buffalo,
a member of the State Board of Re-
gents, and onetime Tax Commissioner

m ssioner Grover A. Whalen, of The
Department of Plant and Structures
for certificate of convenience and
necessity for the construction Of a
spur track from the tracks over the
William sburg Bridge to a car barn on
the Brooklyn side. This opens the way
for the municipal operation of cars
over the bridge, which has been dis
puted by the Brooklyn City Railroad
Company. The commission denied the
application on the grounds that it had
no jurisdiction and that such a GER

Colonel F. w. Galbraith jr., national

In all this Colonel Galbraith as
sured his audience that they had the
full support of President Harding, and
the gossip at the dinner was that
President Harding would be present at
the Madison Square Garden meeting
to prove 1t in his own words. 1t was
said that Colonel Galbraith would see
him in Washington this week, and that
Calvin Coolidge, Vice-President. had
already accepted an invitation to

ALBANY, March Sex Cove Tor AL |
fred Z. Smith, who came to AN. ny to- |
day to appear at the hearing on the
measures reorganizing the state gov

case of hand shakers cramp and the
knowledge that his friends in Albany

organization bills at the outset threat
ened to turn into an informal recep-
tion in honor of al"
This is the first time the ex-Gov-
ernor has visited Albany since he went
out of Office on January i. Onetime
governors are not infrequent visitors
to the capital during the legislative
session, but as rule, their coming
and going are merely noted The re-
eeption accorded CAL" Smith was of
the kind usually accorded public men
ut the height of their careers rather
than that commonly extended to men
who have, as "Al' Smith says he has,
stepped back into private life.
From the moment he arrived in AL
bany until the time he boarded his
train for New York the day was one
long, triumphal procession for the ex-
Governor. His first greeting came as
he stepped out of the Union Depot.
The Ex-Governor was surrounded in a
moment by passers by, and thus began
a hand shaking ordeal which contln-
ued as Mr. Smith wended his way up
State Street to the Capitol.
Shook Hands With Everybody
AS he entered the State Building
from the Washington Avenue entrance
some one in the crowd shouted:
We'll see you enter the Capitol as
Governor on January l, two years from
now"
The Ex-Governor laughed, but said
nothing.
In the Capitol he was literally sur
rounded by a ring of we'll wishers, who
would not let him go until he had
shaken hands with everybody. 1t is
only a matter of about thirty steps
from the eleva tor to the Senate cham
ber, where the hearing took place, but
it took CAP more than thirty minutes
to make the journey, as he progressed
through dense mass of men and wom-
en-, shaking hands as he went along.
He was nominated for Governor time
and again as he worked his way through
the crowd
The enthusiasm of those who insisted
