GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE (Continued from first page) want this legislation. 1 am not so cer- ' tain as the commission appears to be 1 that their reorganisation plans will re- ' suit in a large reduction in State expenses, but I do believe some saving will < follow, and that they will greatly pro- ' mote efficiency, and while the total ' •mount expended may not be materially 1 less, better results will Surely be secured for every dollar spent. With thefacta squarely before us, it is our duty ' to act with decision and promptness. I The annual Teport of the State Board 1 •f Equalisation of Taxes, recently filed * with me, shows an icrease of over sev- ; ' •nty-five million dollars in the total ' valuation of property for taxation, ex- ' elusive of the stocks and banks and , f trust companies and. railroad property, , I and that, notwithstanding this increase ; ' *S» valuation, the average tax rate of' •ur municipalities is twenty-seven j ' points higher than last year. I know j • that the great majority of our citizens j are willing to bear their just share of | ' the fair cost of government, but they • ' rightfully object to excessive expenses I and inequality in assessment. The at- 1 tention of Legislatures has frequently 1 I been called to high and increasing tax 1 burdens, and I venture to refer to the ' subject again and to reiterate my opin- ' ion that the difficulty is largely due to ' Ms vnwfaa and improper method of se- ' looting assessors and to the fact that in ' many instances the compensation they ® * r- "id. insufficient to secure the ser- 1 vines of competent men. The choice of 1 assessors by election 'usually brings ' them "and. their office into politics. We shall never obtain relief unless we clean ' up the souree of the trouble, and 1 re- ' mew my recommee-lations that assessors s be no longer elected, but be appointed ' under Civil Service rules for assessment - districts; that they be paid proper sal- f aries; that their assessments be made ' under uniform rales to be prepared by ' some higher tax authority; that their ' COULD NOT SLEEP, i mm eat: Woman So Weak and Nervous ' Could Not Stand Her Chil- , drcn Near Her — Vinol i Changed Everything for Her ' Plut City, FU. — " I wish I could tell everybody about Vinol. For nine years . I was in bad health. I got ao I could wot aleep, and I could not stand it to have I ■y children come near me. I could not r even sew or do any heavy housework. - I was simply tired all the time. I tried ao many medicines I could not recall ' tbam all, but nothing did me any good. 1 One day a friend asked me to try vinol , and said it waa the beat tonic she ever , saw. I did uo, and soon got the first good night's sleep I had had for a long 1 time. Now I sleep well, my appetite is i good, my nervousness is all gone and I , am so strong and well I do all my house- | work and work in my flower garden : without feeling tired or nervous.

tux lists be open to inspection before . confirmation, and that some appellate i board be given power to hear appeals ' from the valuation proposed, after I which the tax lists may be finally made I up and filed. I commend this highly | important matter to your most careful, thonght, with the earnest hope thst a ' , satisfactory solution of the problem will '. reached before you adjourn. I warn you that* in your attempt to provide this remedy you will encounter the active opposition of nearly every tax assessor. because he wil exert all his influence to prevent the loss of his office. I have been strongly opposed to legis- , lstion which compels municipal expenditure for higher salaries or for any other purpose withflut - requiring the consent : of municipal governing bodies. I am not eatisfied with legislation of this char- ' acter. even when it provides that the art shall remain inoperative nntil accepted by ' popular vote, unleas in tin1 instance it gives the right and imposes tlie duty upon governing bodies I I of approving the proposed expenditure, i i Those charged with the administrati in | i of municipal affairs should know best I how the taxpayers' money should be ex- 1 I ponded, and the responsibility for deoid- I j ing should be placed upon them befo.v | ] referring it to the people for their ap- ' proval. 1 am also opposed to legislation apnftjriations or expenditures upon a~percentage of city or county rat - ablcs. because of tlie variable and uncer- j tain amounts to be raised thereby, and j in the interest of economy and publicity j I recommend that the maximum amount I be definitely stated in figures. At the j last session I requested that several bills j' be recalled from my hands, and 1 vetoed | others which did not meet these vines, j and I shall follow the s«me course at The law has compelled me to call spti ial elections in two Congressional districts because of vacancies occurring therein, in neither of which any real ne-c«-ssitv existed for filling the vacancy. A special election entails great e.tpers-. j and it is impossible to arouse the interest of the voters when the election is \ of no particular consequence. In neither of the cases to which I have referr d r.cijld I have ordered an election had been- left to my judgment, and I therefore suggest to you the advisability of ! amending this law so as to give the ' Governor discretion in ordering such elections. The discretion might be limited by requiring htm to order the election upon the request of the chairman ^ of the State Committee of a political . party. Hie increase in population of our | eountry has been steady, but there has- ' been a decrease in the production of cat- | tic (other than milch cows), sheep and ( hogs, and the recent scourge of mouth ( and hoof disease should attract our at- ^ tention to the serious consequences like- ( ly to follow the destruction of large numbers of our dairy and meat-produc-ing animals. The direct money loss to ' the owners of the cattle destroyed is ■ but it would seem that consumers 1 of milk and meat must also suffer through higher prices likely to follow the decrease in supply, and it occurs to me thaT something might be done to en- . courage our farmers to make breeding . ' and raising of cattle and other live stock moae important and profitable. The records show that for the past three years over forty-seven thousand head of da:rv rows have been imported Into this State, which must have e-wt an average of 'seventy-fire dollars per head. Had we met this demand by nJsing our own cattle at an average cost of fifty dollars to raise heifers to twe yean, of age, the saving would be nearly one million two

hundred thousand dollars, or four hundred thousand dollars a year. It would seem profitable to oar milk- producers to | give more attention to breeding their I pwn herds and thus -secure a stock of! established constitutional vigor ami maximum milk production, and the ! shortage in meat animals could be met by raising more live stock on the farm. | If farmers were to raise and slaughter meat far home consumption, then, instead of selling their calve* at ten cents per pound and purchasing their supplies from the local butcher, at thirty cents per pound, the high cost of living might be materially reduced. There is still much pasture and range land in this State, and there are few farms where the surplus farm produce would not ; fatten from twp to a dozen beef cattle yearly. More grain and other feed could be raised to.support more live stock, and perhaps more intensive farming is necessary to do this. When farmers are •oiling their milk at a price which nets them but little profit, it ia not impossible that by fattening cattle and by raising sheep and hogs they could increase the returns from their farms, and materially reduce the cost of living to themselves and others, and it is sure |- thst the raising of their own live stockwould contribute largely to the reduction. if not complete elimination, of bovine tuberculosis and other animal di- - seases in our state. I request that yon give consideration to the thought I have endeavored to present to you, with the idea that if legislation is necessary to stimulate this industry, it may be de- . vised. Perhaps by giving the Live Stock Commission the same powers with ree ; gard to other animals that it now has e j for breiiling horses, a profitable advance s might be made through the standardize - r | tion of all live stock, or perhaps the - g | State Agricultural College and Experi- '• j j mont Station and the Bureau of Animal I j Industry might be given wider powers, I I enabling them to assist the farmers in • 1 'solving the problem I present. • Among the subjects of legislation . which will probably be brought to your | attention is the abandonment of the Morris Canal. Tt is not my purpose at , -this time to express any opinion upon , the various plans suggested, but there is one . feature whirh has appeared in | , bills presented to the legislature to ! , t which I -desire to refer, and that is j , , with regard to the disposition of the ' t money the State should receive for its . interest in the canal property. I consider it improper to provide in any . abandonment bill how such money should be expended, for the reason that ' , j it includes two subjects in one bill, and ; makes the determination of the one de- > 1 j pendent upon the other. The vice -»f ( , j this kind of legislation has been eon- . idemned by our Constitution, which provides that "to avoid improper influences , _ I which may result from intermixing , in one and the same act such things ' . I as have no proper relation to each other, | , ( every law shall embrace but one ob- | ject-" Hie expenditure of all money ! | i should receive the careful attention of j I ! the legislature, and especially of its Ap- 1 , . j propriation Committee, and should not . be bound up with any other subjert of , ! legislation, and at a time when we are ( I celled upon to exercise retrenchment in I, I State expenditures, special care should , b- taken not to place upon the State ( burdens which will require large appro- ( priations in future years for construe- | tion or maintenance. The Appropriation , Committee, through its investigations , and special knowledge of tlie .npeds of ( tlie State: of its departments and of its . institutions, is particularly qualified to recommend the wisest means to which | ■ State funds should be devoted. For in- , | staflcp. the need of a Normal School in. j South Jersey, the enlargement 'of inr ( . insane asylums, and other State insti-j, tutiona. or "the establishment of n-w ' ones, the relocation of the State Ro- , formato^v and the removal of our Stat- _ Prison the building of new roads, the , ^ purchase of toll bridges, the develop- , ment of forest reserves and water - rights, measures of protection for ocean- ' | front owners from ravages bv the ele- | ments. may be the most pressing and ' objects for State financial assistance. Any of these I have mention - ; yd. and perhaps others, may be of parav. mount importance, but the fact cannot properly or safety determined in con- ' aideration of or debate upon a canal ' abandonment bill. and. therefore, should ' be left to a separate and special conaidRecent serious damage to and destrue- , tion of our woodlands and forests by I ! i fires will cause prudent men to hesitate ' i to invest in or continue- the attempt to ■ preserve snt-h properties. The fires of ' last fall were more numerous and caus- > ed more damage than for "many a pre- ■ ceding year, notwithstanding the State's : f attempt to guard against them. It is : significant that during the first weeks • of the hunting season the larger number I and most disastrous fires occurred. For : r a long time prior to and during these , weeks the vegetation was parched and f dry because of a prolonged period of ? drought. It is fair to assume that many i fires were ' started through neglect or • carelessness of hunters, and it has been ■ stated that sift some eases gunners de3 liberately started them to* drive game <

f mm the woods. .Beside the vast timber | j loss, the cranberry farming interest* 3 suffered seriously. The State Forestry | r I Commission has advised' tfc exclusion of f | dwr and rabbits from the protection of 1 the game law* as one why tf> avoid the c! danger from, fire* ^during the usual dry t M-ason, but I ani not willing to weom'i 1. mend ao drastic a plan, because, while r I feerthat with proper care sud caution . by hunter* 'many of tlie lives could have b been ^voided, the particularly dry coob ditiongpthe underbrush and dead deaves b in the woods and forests last fall cont tributifc to the danger. I do believe, ] however, that this State should adopt ! b the plan, which in other States seems e tc h4"gf worked well, of giving the Oovt vi not {power to suspend the hunting » sijh ' when in times of drought the | ) condition of the forests and fields en1 hsnce the possibility of fires until rain- . fsll makes it safe for them to be entcr- > ed. i Complaint has been made that under • tlie so-called Chancellor-Sheriff jury law r of 1013 it lias at times been found impossible to .secure a full grand jury I membership, because .the law provides i fur drawing no more than twenty-four • names by the sheriff and jury commis- : sionera. It frequently happens that of ■ tlie number so drawn some are absent ' • ' from the State and cannot be summon- ' . ed : others are ill. and others are ineli- i i igible. Further, It is the intention of . • the act that no jury commissioner shall • be of the same political party as tlie > sheriff of liis county, "bnt jury eommis- • sinners' ire appointed for one year, and ; there is no direct provision fori vacating ■ the office upon the election of a sheriff. < belonging to the same party. The Chan- ' • i-ellor can only carry out the spirit of . - the act in this particular by removing | ■ the commissioner before -the expiration j ■ the term for which he was appointed, i I The act in question was adopted by the . jM'ople at a referendum election, and i ought not be altered in any respect unless the amendment will serve to pre- , serve its character and increase its ef- ' ' fiviency to accomplish the purpose for j ' which it was enacted. I therefore rec- i •uiimend that the law he amended so as j • to provide for drawing more that the j 1 number of names finally required for| grand jurors, and that the presiding jus- 1 1 tiee at the drawing be empowered to ; ' i strike from the list those unable or in- 1 ' | eligible to serve, arid also that the term , ! of every jury commissioner shall anto- 1 ' matieally expire upon the assumption of I ' ' office of a sheriff belonging to the same 1 ' political party as the commissioner. ' , lb my inaugural message I directed j ' attention to the volume 'of useless leg- ( ' islative bills introduced and to the nn- ' necessarily large number of laws en- J ' acted annually, and T commended the • ' proposition to place a time limit on the j presentation of bills, and to permit a ' reasonable period to elapse between ' f their introduction and consideration. ' The favorable reception of this plan by • I the legislature of nineteen Hundred and fourteen resulted in a book of laws two ' hundred pages less than of the preced- 1 ; year, containing one hundred and • ' ' fifteen fewer laws than wen- enacted at | ' the regular and- special sessions of nlne1 teen hundred and thirteen. Hiis rec- 1 ' ord can surely, be equalled and possibly J 1 ' excelled by adopting the same rales ^ ' with regard to the introduction and fon- ' sid era tion .if hills, and. also, by a strict attention to your duties, the session can shortened. Nothing will pl-ase our 1 people more than a short, businesslike ; session. Hiis is quite possible, because the la-gislntiires of the last three of four 1 vea*s have disposed of practically all ' metiers for the pnblie good which have' 1 boen awaiting action, and the few which I you may 'i-cl require consideration ran • be disposed of in a short time, giving .them the thoughtful, deliberate atteni 'ion to which thev are entitled.
