MARKED CHANGES AT RAHWAY N*w Wardi at Morris Plaint Hospital Will S^mawhat Rollevs Conecst'on. Governor •• Urpad to Rcmovs Utility Commission. Trenton.—Thejp rro many subjects whlcn the voters should bear In mind at this time when aspirants for seats In the >flalature are aeeklug their support, but there Is none more Important than the ne£d of amending the Constitution, a matter which the present legislature did not even consider, though there la not the alighteat doubt that moat of the members bad It in mind, particularly the dealrablllty of Increasing the compensation beyond •800 a year. When the present salary waa hied, not only were living expenses much lower, but the cost of going through a primary and election campaign was Inconsiderable In comparison with the expenses now, and since the salaries of every other class of public officers have been generously increased there L* no reason why the senators and as aemblyroen should not receive consideration. It la true that a sdl-ry increase amendment waa defeated a few i ago, but conditions were different then. The subject of biennial aeaslons should aiSc receive attention. New Jerse* Is one of not more than half « dozen of the states that stick to the ancient custom of holding legislative sessions annually. In the c'd days two or three ‘•sittings" were held yearly, and It U time that the i>eople took rn- ‘ other step forward and adopted the l biennial session plxa, which will not ^ appear like such a radical mo vs after the experiences of this year. Many other changes In the Constltuftloh are desirable, and the legislative andldates should be men with ability «nd force to present them for consld■atlon neert year In order that they may he submitted to popular vote In after bating received the approval of two successive legislatures, 'his Is no time to nominate candlrhose only claim Is that they ■ovet the honor and think they will be de to give as good service as others ive given. The fact is that the serve has been unsatisfactory. It can be ip roved by raising the standard of

ididates.
