Where Famlt Lie* Nutley Bon: Under the wise provision that all reports of SUte department* fare sent to newspapers and librarios throughout the State a constant stream or pamphlets comes Into Ats office each week from all sort* of boards and bodies with headquarters at Trenton. These studies, reports and whatnot are frequently cither dull reading because an able Investigator may be a very uninteresting writer. That may be one of the reasons why they get so little attention, but hav* yet .to. apply ourMtves to one wllfioot finding that It was the result of careful. Intelligent study by some man or staff of men wall trained to collect and digest Information. After reading any or these repo ru we often come to the conclusion that U is the legislative end of our government which gives Ae whole system the appearance of hopeless stupidity and Inertia which Is thr Impression It makes on almost ct

These reports Indtca’e that every bureau In our government haa plenty of Industry and telllgence and when the only practical result they achieve In guiding legislation I* laws that are stupid and confusing, points to Ae legislative branch as the one at fault.
