VJ14 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW Albany, May 26— Assemblyman Harold J.Hinm an, leader of the m ajor ity in the Assembly in a review of the regular and special sessions of the Legislature of 1914 says: I “ Does anyone doubt what the out come jvould have been if there had not been a Republican Assembly in 1914? This is the question which must be up permost in the mind of every citizen 1 of the State. Therd is but one answer.

In 1893 the State’s annual expendi lure was about eighteen millions. In 1913, after a period of twenty years, it reached fifty millions. In 1U13 alone the increase reached the oulra- (\'Otis amount of over eight millions, a million and one-half more than dur i n g the whole ten years of Republican administration between 1897 and 1907. In the year 1914 there has not only been no increase, but there has been a reduction of about ten millions, which lops off more than the entire in- j undo, crease of 1913. At the outset of this session Cover nor Glynn recommended economy hut as seen in the administrations of Dix and Sulzer, the times require more than high sounding phrases and good intentions. The Assembly tried to drop needless employees from the ser vice and to abolish the unnecessary De- of Efficiency and Economy and the Fire Marshal.

As a matter cf fact there will be no j end to the betting: Distiict Attorney Smith is quoted as saying “ a man may 1 bet his head off if he likes.’’ He need not limit the number of bets he I makes nor the emount--of' money he would stake. Betting never was il legal in this State, the decision in the Shane case handed down by Justice Scudder fully establishing thisj fact. Epworth League Convention Patchogue, May 23—George M.

Just to show how responsive criticism it is probably. “ The Governor’s acts in many in stances have failed totally with his professions. I will summarize with five nota le illustrations. ONE—In his first annual message the Governor recommended that appro priations be cut to the minimum. In many special messages throughout the session he recommended the creation of new boards and departments and de vised new ways of spending money. TWO—In his first annual message the Governor recommended that un necessary hoards and departments be abolished. He has refused the request of the Assembly that he point out a single board, office or department’that might be eliminated, T H R E E —He sent an emergency message recommending a direct State tax. He then vetoed the bill providing such a tax. FOUR He publicly announced that a bond issue for that institution would be unconstitutional. He sent a mes sage to the Legislature advocating such a bond issue of $25,000,000 in spite of the constitution and in face of his for mer statement. FIV E —On the one hand he has dent ed allegiance to Tammany Hall. On the other he has made numerous Tam many appointments. The position of the Assembly ma jority in forcing deliberate considera tion by the Senate and Assembly of the various appropriations for the mainte nance of gevernment has resulted in reducing the aggregate appropriations from a little less than $30,000,000 in 1913 to about $39,000,000 in 1914, showing that the waste of public funds has been checked. If the Senate would co-operate with the Assembly a com plete re-organization of the State gov- ernment could be had reducing the number of departments and State em ployees, substituting order for chaos in several branches of the public ser vice and effecting further economies at least equal to those effected this year.” —Thaddeus C. Sweet, Speaker of the Assembly. ‘‘Municipal Ownershipr A few years ago an arbitrary regu lation was adopted by the P. O. Dept, which lopped off approximately one- seventh of the tonnage of mail mrftter for which the railroads were to be paid. It was a mere technical regula tion, of course; there was just as much m a tter to be moved as ever, and mov ing it was just as expensive as ever; but none the less the Government lapped off one-seventh of the compen- eation. The railroads carried a case to the Court of Claims, and won; but the case was re opened, and the court has reversed its former view,now hold ing against the railroads. It involves about $85,000,000. The Government is now paying no more for the millions of pounds of parcel post traffic than when there was none. In time tho Government will determine that the railroads must be paid and will fix rates, and then that amount will have to come out of the Parcel Post e arn ings. The railroads ought not to be sponged upon by the Government for- ever merely because they are rail roads and therefore have no political friends.—Press May 21, 1914. And yet there are some poor deluded or prejudiced politicians in this coun try who have the nerve to w a n t to put the telephones also under the control of the government which is making such a fizzle of the parcels post busi- all kinds of new commissions and new officers to suit his own fads and fan cies and those of his friends, in spite of the fact that in his economy mes sage he urged that the State should not start any new activity until there was ample surplus in the Treasury, It was the hard-headed program of economy of the Republican Assembly which has compelled the Democratic party to consent to a revision down ward of the State’s expenditures. It was the insistence of the Repub lican Assembly which has compelled the Tammany Senate to accede to our demand that not another single dollar shall be appropriated for the support of the two useless departments of effi ciency and economy and the Fire Mar- It was the election of a Republican Assembly, followed by the Republican Conference in New York on Decembei | 5, which drove Governor Glynn ami the Tammany Legislature of 1913 to meet in December and anticipate the inevit able action of the new Assembly by passing a Workmen’s Compensation Act, a new primary law and a Massa chusetts ballot, it was the thought of a Republican Assembly which has given us a Workmen’s Compensation Law. It was the action of the Repub lican Assembly which has given us a non-partisan Workmen's Compensation Commission and prevented the further enlargement of the Tammany machine throughout the State. It was the thought of a Republican Assembly which compelled the passage of a new primary law in December. It was the action of the Tammany Legislature a t that time which incor porated the joker in the ballot law which permits a voter to say that his residence is any place he wants to make it without the slightest physical evidence that he has made it his dom icile, and which is a wicked invitation to colonization for the corrupt control of elections. The Republican Assem bly passed a bill to wipe out this vi cious provision. It was the Tam many Senate which refused to pass it. It was Governor Glynn who refused to recommend the consideration of the matter at the extraordinary session which has prevented its correction at this time. The same is true with ref erence to the failure of the Democratic Senate and Governor Glynn to meet the demand for an honest perfection of the new primary law. The Assembly passed bills at the regular session to make the necessary amendments. The Legislature at a special session cannot act unless he asks it to act. The Assembly respect fully called upon the Governor at the extraordinary session for a message upon this subject. The Govenor saw fit to ignore our request. His respon sibility is clear. His duty was plain. In particular I desire to call atten tion to the fact that from the first day of the regular session to the last day of the extra session the Republican mgjoriaty has had to contend against a hard and fust working alliance be tween the leader of the Democrats and the leader of the Progressives. On the occasion when a successor to the late John J.Kennedy, State Treasurer, was chosen every Democratic vote was cast for Homer D. Call, the Progressive candidate, insuring his election by a mere majority. From that time on the Progressive leader, and as many of hia associates as would follow him, supported every political measure ad vocated by the Democratic leader and echoed the opposition of tne Demo cratic leader to measures advocated by the Republicans. The Republican majority in the As sembly accepted in good faith the task set for it aud has endeavored through out both the regular and extraordinary session to perform it. That task was to act as a check and regulator of the Democratic administration. It could do no more. It did not have the power and the people did not expect any more. The hope of the State lies in the el ection this fall of an e n tire Republican adm inistration with full power to cor rect the m istakes of the last four years. It is hard to doubt that this will be the action of the voters this fa ll.’’ The following is a list of new phones recently installed: FREEPORT 674 J, Main Rug Manufacturing Co., 861 No. Main Street. 909-VV, George V.

Niemann, pending the pronouncing of his sentence on June 5. Bosca came up for sentence today but his counsel, Theophilus Par sons, asked that it be deferred two weeks in order to give his client the opportunity to dispose of certain property to pay off his indebtedness to the town. Judge Niemann declared he felt it hia duty to commit the town treasurer to jail as he had been very lenient with him and had given him ample opportunity to pay up.

PROHIBITION IN CALIFORNIA WILL AID NATIONAL CAUSE Believing the moral effect of Cali fornia voting for statewide prohibition would be to promote the nationwide movement, the Pasadena Star, which is heartily in favor of a National Pro hibition Amendment, has declared it self an advocate of state suppression of the liquor traffic. “ Public senti ment,’’ says the Star, “ is forming gradually but solidly and substantially against the traffic.
