propositions affecting localities outside the cities than the one on Counties, Towns and Villages and Their Organi­sation and Government, of which Charles 8. Mereness of I^owville is Chairman. It already has before it a large number of amendments caUlng for radical changes, several of which broaden the powers of Supervisors and town officers and If adopted will make for a large measure of home rule in the counties, towns and villages. Borne of these amendments provide for a uniform system of county government •altogether different in character from that now in existence. Others permit the residents of each county to choose such form of government as they see fit, while others authorise the Legisla­ture to formulate certain optional terms of government, the same as was done with respect to commission and other forms of government for cities, to be adopted by referendum.

The first hearing of this important committee will be held in the Senate chamber Wednesday, June 2. at 11 a. m. and all the amendments referred to.

For the Battenville-Salem road, about s ixmi le* long the lowest bidder' was E. 3. Anderson of Menands at $62,261. Among the bidders were Richard Hop­kins of Troy at $67,875, Thomas H. Karr of Troy at $58,165, Kingsbury Construction Company of Hudson Falls at $68,119 and Criswell & Mallory, Inc.. of Mechanicvllle at $67,589.

In Delaware County. Among the bidders for about eleven

and one-half miles of highway in Dela­ware County were The Ruddy-Saunders Construction Company of Troy at $144,-804 Rob Roy Contracting Company of Albany at $137,986.75 and Freeman & Cunningham of Watervliet at $138,010. The lowest bidder was the Fulton En­gineering Company of Albany at $128,-146.15.

Among the bidders for another Delaware County road about six miles long were Richard Hopkins of Troy at $68,829, Ruddy-Saunders Construction Company of Troy at $66,819, the Rob B o y Contracting Company of Albany at $73,933 and Freeman & Cunningham of Watervllet at $-76,499. The low bidder -was E. J. Anderson of Menands at $63,-898.

County Government Committee. ~ZJK&~ committee of the -Constitutional

Convention will be in closer touch with

tlon heard scarcely a day passed with­out some Republican from Rensselaer County being appointed to at least a $2. $2.50 or $3 a day job. The aggregate of appointments numerically and "the amounts of compensation, it was claimed, would compare favorably with the results of any year, not excepting the "good old days" in which the dis­tribution of patronage was not hedged about by so many difficulties and was the principal asset of the party that scored a victory. Some of the disap­pointed candidates, it was remarked, were s o noisy and bitter in their com­plainings a s to make it appear on the surface, that the present organization I had been an utter failure, and Just one such critic could create more adverse comment than half a dozen persons who quietly accepted small places and went to work, could counteract.

May Prepare a Mat. When it was suggested to the

speaker, who occupies a position •cal­culated to engender gratitude and to make it easy for him to pose as a public defender of the Advisory Com­mittee, that he prepare for publication a list of Rensselaer County appoint­ments to the state service that would

vetoing the bill that would exempt from competitive examinations princi­pals and teachers of vocational trade and industrial classes in New York city, should be of interest in Troy, for the reason that it was introduced in the Legislature by Assemblyman Abram El-lenbogan, a former Trojan and at one time a newspaper worker in that city. Mr. Ellenbogan has been entrusted with a large amount of important legisla­tion by the leaders of his party in New York and has made an excellent record as a legislator. In disapproving the bill the Governor says he is in sympathy with its purpose, which would permit the Board of Education to carry out its plan of sectoring practical instructors in the trade schools, but he is satisfied that the measure is in violation of the merit system, which is adequate to se­cure persons of practical ability as teachers of vocational classes. As the classes multiply the executive believes the candidates will become so numer­ous that it will be impossible for the board to become acquainted with the qualifications of all and therefore the .merit system will answer as well. He has been informed also that a system has been evolved under which the prac­tical ability of candidates can be given due weight.

Rensselaer County Patronage.

A Rensselaer County Republican con­nected with one of the state depart­ments and who is prominent and in­fluential in his home organization con­tributed some rather interesting utter­ances a s his share of a conversation along political lines that occurred this morning In one of the regular gathering places at the CapitoL He began with the assertion that if the list was ever published it would show that Rensse­laer County had received more state patronage this year than ever before. Not all the appointments had been re­corded in the newspapers, he said, nor had they been made public in other ways. Despite expression of dissatisfac-

said he would perhaps do so but he preferred to defer it for a time in the expectation that he could make It still longer.

He advanced the argument that even a better showing could have been made if so many had not been seeking high salaried places. In some instances, he declared, it was "a case of a $1,000 man looking for a $5,000 job."

Aggregate of .Salaries. As if in corroboration of the state­

ments made another Republican stated that he had taken the trouble to search the records and had found that resi­dents of Rensselaer County at present in the employ of the state were draw­ing in salaries an aggregate of about $2*7,000 a year. The amount includes, of course, the salaries of holdovers, mostly Democrats, and has no bearing on the contention of the Rensselaer County officeholder with reference to the patronage secured through the present organisation.

Doubting Thomases. Notwithstanding the statements made

there were standing on the edge of the group two Rensselaer County men whose countenances wore the expres­sion of a "doubting Thomas." They have done much for the Republican party and felt Justified in conceiving the thought that they were entitled to recognition. They say they have been encouraged in their aspirations even to the extent of endorsement, but have noted some appointments that have caused them to wonder why they are still on the waiting list.

They did not join in the conversa-tkrnT trat were subsequently heard to say that they would await the appear­ance of the list with curiosity and in­terest.

Regulating Jitney 'Busses. Governor Whitman to-day signed the

so-called jitney 'bus bill of Senator G. P. Thompson that was so strongly o p - ^ posed by the interests operating pas­senger motor vehicles in cities. It pro­vides that stage and 'bus lines and mo­tor vehicle lines carrying passengers at the rate of fifteen cents or less each within the limits o f a city, in competi­tion with other common carriers must, in addition to the consent of the local authorities procure a certificate of con­venience and necessity from the Pub­lic Service Commission. Among others the new law affects automobile lines operating between Troy and Lansing-burgh. Governor Whitman claims that the bill does not prohibit the opera­tion of Jitney 'busses but merely pro­vides for their regulation, and the policy of the state contemplates the regulation of all public utilities whether incorporated or not. The unrestricted operation of automobiles in the streets of cities is not Justifiable.

Burden Iron Works Employep Who Had $10 Coming to Him Required to Pay One More to HJs Wife—Tbe Cost of Hesitancy.

John Hemmlngs is probably Borry^now that he did not take the advice of Po­lice Justice Byron this morning and pay $3 a week, when arraigned on a charge of failing to provide for his wife. He told Justice Byron that he had been out of work until last week, when be was employed three days at Burden's mill, for which he was to get $7. Justice Byron told him he would have to give his wife $3 when he received the money to-day, but the man said he would do nothing of the kind and was committed to jail. On the way over with Detective Farrell he changed his mind and asked to be taken back before Justice Byron, stating that he would pay the money. His request was granted. In the mean­time Deputy Commissioner of Charities P. P. Connolly had ascertained from the Bnrden officials that Hemmlngs had more than $10 coming to him. The man had the facts laid before him, and stated that it was a surprise to him that he had so much money coming, but he would pay the $3. "Well as long as you have more money than you thought coming." said Justice Byron, "I will make the amount $4. Your wife can use it better than you." Hemmlngs looked sullen, but walked out promising to pay.

Mayor Burns' Idea of beautifying yarde with gardens has been carried out in excellent style by John Farnum of «12 Second Avenue, who has one of the most beautiful yards In the "burgh. Four years ago the house In which Mr. Far­num resides was purpchased by Assist­ant District Attorney Fllley from the i-utler estate and the yard at that time was filled with rubbish of all descrip­tions. Shortly after Mr. Farnum moved in and after the place was cleaned up he made a garden. The garden contains several kinds of early spring flowers In the centre of the garden tg a constructed fountain, which Is In action during the summer and which was constructed by Mr Farnum. If other yards were fixed with gardens to replace the rubbish the section would be made a whole lot pret­tier.

B o n't Kick a Dead Horse. (Jasper in Leslie's.)

'You can't make a dead horse get ui by kicking him." remarked that astutl captain of industry. James J. Hill, In recent Interview. And he called atter tlon to the fact that "during the iai year Congress passed four radical aa far-reaching pieces of legislation: Thj new tariff act, the currency a c t thl Clayton bill and the trade commlssloj act" said Mr. Hill. "If they are nc enough to deal business a body blow, don't know what Is."

But sre n't the business men to bis for much of the radical legislation? Wi^ Ham Hamlin Childs. head of The Amer can Coal Products Company, was cheerc by a, thousand 'members of the Met chanta' Association of New York, whe | hs said at one of its notable luncheon that when the Clayton bill was befor Congress, "most of the business m« did n't know whether it was a laundr bill or a brother of Buffalo Bill." Bi they are learning now and their protes are heard all over the land.

Charles R. Crane, one of Chicago) holed~captaffix" of industry; has mov« out of the city and out of the state causa of bundensome tax laws that we4 aa Inequitable aa they were burdenson and John D. Rockefeller, who eper 1390.000 a year in Cleveland and who ha! dona big things for that great city, ha had to go late H b t just levy of taxes upon mm.

President Sproule of the Southern Pi clflc Railroad uttered an Impressive trut when ha said: "It is the employer wl is tha first out of employment He followed by the employee." The peopl of this country can be trusted to do tl right thing when they begin to thin for themselves it is strange how ir different they sre to the deairucth evils of radical legislation until thl feel It In their own pockets; .

When business slackens in ths counl Ing room, the factory, the workshop an the bank, when railroads shorten—1" pay roll, reduce their trains and cot .. their dividends, then the people begl to a . c the reason why and to turn awi from the man e»n the barrelhead and tl demagogue on the soapbox.
