MORICHES i ME WS FR OM ALBANY ALBANY—With friction rife in , both the Republican and Democra- tic ranks in tin State Legislature , I the wheels of the law-making mill- race on Capitol Hill have begur, to turn slowly. Once again the corridors in the Cap itol Building arc crowded. Once again is heard the chatter of clat- tering telegraph keys n.i Ihe news dispatches of legislative correspond- ents arc sped lo the press oi the State. Once again Senate and As- sembly Chambers echo with the heated debates of solons on pend- ing legislation, and once again pages speed here and there with measures , messages and lunch. And finally, lobbyists once again are to] be seen in Capitol Halls as they re- i glster affability, charm and dignity, repenting, as th\ fancy moves them. the lobbyist chant . \How arc you - have a cigar!\ Yes , indeed- th i Legislature is in session once ugivn. Ainoiit, the Missing! Absent Irom the lamiltar picture of leg islative activity, are \Speaker Joe \ Mc.Giiiiiiet- . rYeu Porter, Rus- sel G. Dunmnre . Benjamin Glad- stone, and nearl y a score of other Assemblymen of both parties WHO decided to forsake leg islative ser- vice for lens hectic and more profit- able endeavors. \Speaker Joe \ and Fred Porter are among those who have retired and who arc genuinely m ' sscd , while Mr. Dunmorc and Mr. Gladstone, deceased , are mourned. Mr. Porter did put in an appearance at the Cap itol on Jan. 1 , but only to greet old friends , and make new ones , and then return to Essex County and private life. We asked Mr. Porte, \Do you wish you were back in harness?\ The Essex Coun- ty veteran puffed thoughtfully on his ciga r for a moment , and then slowly answered. \N-o-o-o , I don 't think so. You see, I first csme hers in 1921. It seems like a long time ago. \ Personalities Time seems to have dealt lightly with members ' of the Legislature and Ca pitol attaches. Senator George R. Fearon , Minority Leader of the .Senate , is still the some bril- liant orator he was during the. ses- sion of IflSfi . His opponent , \ across the aisle. \ John J. Dunnigan, presi- dent pro tern of the Upper House, appears to be in good shape to con- tinue his usually heated debates with the Onondaga orator, and Senator Joseph Clark Baldwin .Id , New York City ' s only Senate mem- ber , is a& dapper and self-possessed as of yore. Senator Frederic H. Bon- tecou is again extremely active in his introduction of bills , and shows no outward ill effects from the re- cent accident suffered while hunt- ing, when he was kicked by a hor.se and received a broken leg. Senator Joe R. Hanley continues to be lie- sieged with invitations to speak and is filling as many as possible, while Senator Pliny W. Williamson, authority on constitutional law delves deeper into the constitution- ality of New Dea l measures. Over on the Assembly side, the colorful and sardonic Horace Stone continues to get respectful attention when he blasts away at the Demo- cratic Minority. The husky \Jere '' Wadswortli , a mile stouter than last year , enjoys even greate r popu- larity than heretofore , largely be- cause of the sporting way be re- ceived news that Assemblyman us- wald D. Heck , of Schenectady, had more strength in his favor for Majority Lender than did the son of the former United Sta tes Senator from Gcneseo. When this was com- mented upon , a Wadsworth root-T replied: \Well , what did yon ex- pect. After all . Jere is a Wads- worth!\ \trv \ Ives , newly-elected Speaker of t' \c Assembly, has g rown in sta- ture and nrestiEc by his skillful dis- charge of his important and new- found responsibilities , and there u;v predictions he will rise even furthi - in the political firmament. Forme Speaker Irwin ^teingut. ill surren- dering (he Speakershi p, did il graciously and won himself some new friends in the doing of it. There was no bitterness or bicker- ing in the change-over from Demo- cratic to Republican control of the House, and courtesy ruled, as it should. Miss Jane Todd and Miss Doris I. Byrne, onl y women mem- bers of the Assembl y, were given n warm welcome upon their return anil already have introduced bill. ! providing for women jurors which, last year, failed <»f passage. Hove of Peace Winged Die dove of peace, flying blitlii ly over the Stale Capitol , lias been winged by the double-barrelled shotgun of both Republican an.I Democratic parlies The Republican \ charge \ which struck the pein e pigeon was in the form of conflict between the Erie County Repub- lican organization and the Repub- lican Slate Committee. The light started over the insistence of Ed- win F. Jaei'klf , Erie ' s G. O. P. boas , 'bat Assemblyman Ar thur I. Swartr. be named chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Com- mittee . From there it spread .o Jaeckle attacks upon Henry Root I Stern , treasurer of the Republican I State Committee; upon Stair Chair- j man Melviu C Eaton: upon Ihe : Nassau County Republican organ- ! ization; upon the New York County i Republican organization: upon eon- | trihutors to Republican campuipn j funds and upon down-Stale gencral- ' Iv. In turn Jaeckle made known j that: I Mr. Swartz must be named, under j threat of blocking the election of i Speaker Ives; thai Swart?, he named j or Erie would prevent the A. ' .seml; ' ;. ' i from organizing through the with- holding of Erie County ' - - six A.i - I sembly votes and allied votes; that I no recognition be given Nassau or i New York Counties in \key \ As- sembl y posts; that State Chairman Eaton be deprived of tlie right to name delcgntcs-at-large to the Nu- ¦ lions) rtpniihlicnn Convention , anil that it WH S \Swartz or nothing eiso In the matter of Assembly Commit- tee appointments or patronage for Eric County. For forty-eight hours Mr. Jaeckle issued burning statements to the press assailing Mr. Eaton , Mr. Stein \ and those now in control of the nurty \ while party harmonv went out the window. But Mr. Ives was elected Speaker »y n vote oi i. 'J io 62, and that M\ . Swartz. was not named chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Jaeckle did accept another ap- pointment -that of clerk of the Assembly. It should be said in pass- ing that the clerk elected by the \House\ i.s former-Assemblyman Ansley B. Borkowski , of Eric, well and favorably known to members of the legislature. The Democratic buckshot which ruined the pigeon ' s flight came on the heels of Governor Lehman ' s message lo the U-gislivtiiiv . v. 'herein Mr. Lehman urged the imposition of increased taxes on alcoholic beverages and declared that if re- apportionment failed to pass this year , the power of redisricting should he taken away from the Le- g islature and be vested in the Court of Appeals. Fearful of the effect of hi g her liquor taxes on constituents in the grill and restaurant business in the larger cities where Democratic strength is great , and aware of the potentialities of bartenders and grill owners in influencing votes . Democrats wire quick to voice pro- test to the Governor ' s proposal. They pointed out that even though revenue from increased liquor taxes was to be used to help pay for the myriads of social securi ty acts steamrolled through the 1935 ses- sion of the Legislature , they felt liquor taxes should be lower, thus minimizing bootlegg ing. The Governor ' !! suggestion anent reapportionment , not only brought a roar of protest from New York City ' s Tammany Legislators, but also resulted in strong resentment being voiced by membe rs of both Houses against the though t of fur- ther delegation by the judiciary of the powers of the Leg islature , al- ready an outstanding talking poinl against the New Deal. Party leaders on both sides are hoping that , before the session grows much older, the dove of peace may resume its hovering over the State Capitol to the end that the business of the people of the State may be expedited. <!. O. P. Bills in Hopper Despite the lack of complete tranquility in the G. O. P. legisla- tive camp, Republican members have lost no time in preparing and introducing program measure:-! which had their origin in the joint conference of the Republican Le- gislators and County Chairmen held in Albany on Dec. 1» last, and since developed at conferences of Repub- lican members of both Houses. There included n bill of Herbert Brownell Jr., calling for a legisla- tive investigation of the relief set- up in the State : a measure by As- semblyman Wadswortli transferring the administration of relief to the Department of Social Welfare : .» bill realising grade crossing elimin- ation costs: the Ostertug bill rolling for a '8-hour week for employe . es of Sta»? institutions; a bill reuUclni; all mitor vehicle registration fees to $3 , and a bill permitting the es- tablishment of a State Department of . /ustice. Still another program bill was introduced by Senator Charles H. Hewitt, the measure re- ducing the age eligibility for old age pensions from seventy to sixtv- iivc years. All told, in the first 24 hours of the legislative session, more than 100 bills were tossed inl.i the legislative, hopper. Job Scramble Still On The scramble for jobs in the As- sembly continues apace with both Speaker Ives and Clerk Horkowski deluged with applications from both County Chairmen and parly leader:. ' throughout the Stale in behalf of Republican workers. The skill of -i super-dip lomat is required to work out an equitable distribution of these positions , and both Mr. Ives and Mr. Borkowski grow a lilt!'; more haggard with each passing day from listening to the impnrtti- nitier, of eager app licants. While the list of position. -; lias not yet been whipped into anything near final shape, it is definitely known at least liiat. I ' OI inci-A{. ;» v:r,i- blyman Trueman S. Searle . Lawyer , war veteran and diplomat is slated for the job as secretary to Speaker Ives. Mr. Searle is from Monroe County, and served in the Assembl y in 1 IW0 and lli.il. II is also known that the staff of Mr. Ives when he was Minority Leader will receiv equivalent or better positions undo- (he new Assembly organization set- up. / IJM OII I G MiMm m/ y9 Wtm ^J *m%M %/ Ij FONTIAG PRICED * Al KL SIXES and EIGHTS AS LOW AS ^^ ^ ^J * \ liml ,,.irrt m, jfonHsr.
