Governor Roosevelt Strives for
"Fewer and Better Laws"
Governor Roosevelt is one of
many who realize that too many
laws are passed. He is one of
the few in public station who
strives, by his official acts, for
"fewer and better laws"
The Washington times., 1931-08-06

No other governor in the
history of New York, we be-
lieve, has resorted so frequent
ly to the veto as the present
incumbent, Mr.. Roosevelt.
Many years ago, in the pres
idency, Grover Cleveland made
something of a record in that
regard, and so unusual was the
interference, to a great extent,
of the executive with the plans
of Congress that there was a
great clamor about it. But
as the public came to examine
the reasons for these vetoes
public sentiment mobilized be-
hind Cleveland.
It is inevitable that a vast
number of measures will pass
either Congress or Legislature
that have no proper place on
the statutes. 1t is not wholly
the fault of the legislators.
Every one of them is called
upon to introduce purely local
measures with which he him.
self is not heartily in sympathy.

Bills Introduced
Under Pressure
Frequently bills are intro
duced under pressure with no
thought of pressing them.
Often measures, seemingly
harmless in themselves but
creating dangerous precedents,
slip through the legislative
body.
Sometimes, alas, the worst Of
measures are passed through
the process Of log-rolling and

hind the bill is not in line with
sound business principles; many
because the bill violates some
fundamental political or govern
ment concept of the executive;
and all together give an interest
ing political character study of
the governor himself.
It is impossible to read any
number of these veto messages
without knowing precisely what
sort of man is behind them, per-
sonally and politically.
Understands the
Major Problems.
The man who emerges from
the great flock of veto mes
sages is a very distinct person
ality. Here, clearly, is a man
with sound business principles
and judgment, with much prac-
tical experience in the use of
both.
Here, too, is one who has a
genuine understanding of the
needs and problems Of the
farm and small town. And one
with a profund devotion to GER
tain fundamentals in govern
ment-to the ideal of democ-
racy at its best, to the principle
Of home rule.
These all appear in the veto
messages which are usually
brief, pointed, conclusive.
True of these messages, it
is even truer of the addresses
he has delivered during his
incumbency, on all sorts of
occasions and a multitude Of
questions ranging from the
peoples rights to the benefit
Of their power resources, to
needed reforms in the admin
iStration Of Justice.
They are the ripe fruit of a
lifetime of meditation on pub
lie questions and governmental
methods. In an introduction
to the Public Papers" for 1929
he himself comments on the
striking similarity between the
issues of our own time and
those of remote predecessors.
He might have added that
he has applied the same funda-
mental governmental principles
to the solution Of those Of our
day that these predecessors
used.
Political Character
of the Governor
It might be an easy matter
to show that Mr.. Roosevelt is
a product of the thinking of
the great statesmen of the
earlier dayS-of the Van
Burens, the Silas Wrights, the
Spencers. His own people were
a part Of the organization that
made and sustained these men.
The RooSevelts have played a
continuing part in the public
life of the commonwealth from
very early times, not as office
holders always, but as citizens
with a high concept of the
duty of citizenship and with a
personal stake in government.
The political character Of the
Governor was in the making
long before he wag born.

AIRPLANE MEET FOR UNEMPLOYED
 HAD TWO DEATHS
Broker Killed When Stunt- ing After Being Warned -Propellor Killed an Airport Messenger

Jersey City, N. J.. Oct. 26.-(UP) An air meet, held to raise un- employment relief funds, had cost two lives to-day.
 "Stunting" his sports plane aft CT warnings against it, Harry E. R. Hall, a broker, was killed when his plane fell in an inverted spin from a half-mile height.
 Less than an hour later, Samuel Lang, 19, airport messenger, was struck on the head by whirling airplane propelled. He died several hours later.
 Hall, partner in a New York brokerage firm, was caught in his plane as it spun swiftly downward to carom off an unoccupied house, against an adjoining house. and abck against the rear of the first one.
 To calm the crowd of 10000, Clyde E. Pangborn, globe-girdling pilot, stunted.
 The show was cut short when the messenger was struck by the propeller, After the youths death. John Walsh of New York, said by police to have been operating the plane. was arresterd on charge of manslaughter.
 Hall was 30 years old. His home was reported to have been Spring field, Mass. Member of the Long Island Aviation Country club, he was said to have been an excellent pilot.
 Hall had not been scheduled to appear on the program, but volun- teered to fly. Air meet officials had warned him against stunting in his light sports plane, which was de- signed primarily for speed.

Rev. C. P. Teulings
 Is Grateful For
 Cooperation Shown
New Ediice to Be Erected on Old Heminway Property Ralph Cram, Noted Architect, Designs Struc- ture ParishiOners Pledge $lOO Each

The men of St Johns church o1 Watertown under the guidance ot Rev c. P. Teulings, have com pleted a drive for funds for the building of the proposed new church on the old Heminway prop erty which was purchased a short time ago. The drive, made among parishioners only, was set forth al this time principally because of the low cost of materials, and also because the much talked of de- precision has apparently passed by Watertown as there are very few out of work.
 Father Teulings asked for a pledge of $100 from each person in the parish, to be paid in small payments over the course of a year. The response was most gratifying when the report of the various committees showed a pledge total of $62,000. This was made up of 5000, 2,5o0, 1000 and 100 dollar pledges.
 The church will be a Gothic structure of stone capable of seat ing 750 people. The architect, who has been engaged, is none other than Ralph Cram. worlds greatest builder of churches. One of his great buildings is the St Johns the Divine Cathedral in New York. another Is the beautiful Doheny church in California. He was also detailed to build a war memorial chapel for the U. s. gov- ernment at Belleau Woods in Francje. If his word can be taken as authority the location for the new church is ideal. Work on the church has not definitely been de- cided upon but it is hopedst sthat 1t can start within the year. Father
