the members mounted seven Pullman cars
and two engines. Tho cars havo been on
'exhibition around town for several days,
men walking through tho snows for miles
to see tho only sleeping cars (with cush

engines were hitched to tho train nnd tho
whistles were turned loose.
I Then tho crowd around tho stntlon sent
i up a long cheer and the engine puffed.
Tho whole community creaked for a min

a hundred voices. Down tho tracks camo

received attended by his staff and promi
nent military men of tho State.
Tho Governor In his Inaugural message
said In part:
I enter Into the constructive program
looking to the welding of New Jersey's gov
ernment into a business organization with
enthusiasm and. confidence.
"My hopo Is that a business govern
ment may become a reality and not re
main a mere campaign slogan unattalned.
Wo havo pledged to the people of Now
Jersey that accepted business principles
shall direct our course rather than prece
dent or partisanship. They accepted our
representations In no uncertain terms: and,
gentlemen, they must not bo disappointed.
DEFINES "BUSINESS GOVERNMENT"
"Briefly, my conception of a 'business
government' Is this: (1 believe tho Governor
of tho Stato should 'bo the business man
ager of tho State's vnrled Interests; that
tho Legislature, a3 representing tho various
county units, should ba tho board of di
rectors ; that the people should realize they
rtro tho stockholders, owning collectively
tho business of New Jersey, and thnt the
business of New Jersey, speaking from a
material standpoint, consists of nil the
natural resources, such ns coast lines, river
lines, harbor facilities developed and un
developed forests, streams, minerals, and
all those assets which Nature has pro
vided. "Tho entire proposition, whether from
the material or social side, is ono requiring
business judgment and business organlza
tlon. "I appreciate, gentlonien, that tho mil
lennium has not arrived. Neither havo I
a remedy for all tho ills of government.
Hut I am absolutely convinced that It Is
possible to transform, to a great extent, a
political government Into a workable busi
ness organization, and to that task wo are
Indelibly committed.
"In the creation of nonpolitlcal business
boards I propose to call in men of high typa
to contribute their part to bolylng our prob
lems. They will receive no salaries, but
will receive dividends In the form of an
active, progressiva New Jersey, thoroughly
nlivo to Its opportunities. In this particu
lar connection I -am pleased to refer to threo
subjects of paramount Importance roads,
waterways and the high cost of living. All
throe require the Immediate consideration
of the Legislature nnd the cJotest attention
from the public at lurge.
"Obviously tho people appreciate the Im
portance of good roads. 1 need not elabo
rate on that after the decisive adoption of
the Egan bill. They realize the revolu
tionary effect which tha automobile has had
on overland transportation: tha possibili
ties which lia In Its further development:
and tha Imperative necessity of a great

tu'res than of putting the financing on a
tax rather than a bond Issue basis. It
points tho way to escape from excessive
road costs nnd n financial burden of tho
future which would seriously Interfere with
necessary expenditure"! for development by
the next generation.
PLEA OS Foil HIGHWAY COMMISSION
"llcfoip this present Lcgllnture adjourns
tho way must lie clearly nnd legally pro
vided. On tho question of administration
of the road department T am convinced
that the Stato will bo well served by fol
lowing n similar plan to that adopted for
the management and control of other con
solidated departments under tho economy
and cfllclcncy legislation, providing that tho
Governor shall appoint a highway commis
sion of eight citizens, nt least two or throe
to bo recognized engineers, to servo with
out salary and to have absolute authority
In nil matters, selecting tholr commis
sioner of highways, engineers anil other
necessary employes above tho grades of
civil service.
"In the Interests of the development of
our waterways and ports. I urgo tho co
operation of tho Legislature and tho In
formation of the public In tho compre
hensive plans of our Department of Com
merce nnd Navigation.
"Another matter that should receive care
ful consideration In connection with tho
development of tho waterwnys and ports of
our Stato Is the ownership of tho ncccsslblo
waterfront along the Hudson nnd Delaware.
I havo the opinion of men experienced In in
ternational commerco that tho business nt
tlio ports of New Jersey suffers a sovcre
handicap because of the private ownership
of tho water front. It seems to mo somo
public control, similar to that which New
York city exercises, besides creating a
source of revenue, would put Into the hands
of tlio people the power to curb tho water
front monopoly.
"A matter that Is properly trentcd In
connection with the development of water
ways, because It relates thereto. Is tho
dual project of modernizing transportation
facilities across tho Hudson nnd Delaware
rivers lvltli n (rattle tunnel for tho former
and :i bridge for tho later.
"Along with the encouragement of water
way, wafer f r 'tit mid general transportation
development, I believe this administration
should take n keen Interest In tho possi
bilities of (i ship canal. I thoroughly nppre
olnto that to n certain extent this Is n Fed
eral responsibility, but the Fednrnl Govern
ment Is waiting on us for tho right of
way,
"I bellevo that the oxteiilon and de
velopment of New Jersey's roads anil wntcr
wnys would havo a remedial effect on tho
malndy known as 'the high cost of living.'
I'mloiihtodly tho exorbitant cost of trans
portation, of handling nnd rchandllng prod
uctH of the farm nnd factory, Is a factor
contributing to this serious condition.
"Of courso 1 shall not presume to diag
nose nn economic dlsonso which Is baffling
experts. Hut my Idea Is that New Jersey
might tin her part In a task which Is na
tional In Its scope by tho authorization of
nn unsalaried commission of hot Inorc than
threo. This commission, for which 1 nm
qulto sure wo could find well-qualified, ex
perienced men, would co-operate with vari
ous ngenclcs ' which nro now considering
this all-Important subject nnd represent our
State with official standing.
"1 believe we should go a step farther
nnd create n great State market of our
own In the combined public institutions
of New Jersey. Despite tho efforts mado
nt produce-raising in separate Jurisdiction".
It Is costing tho Stato hundreds of thousands
nf dollars to feoil Its growing number of
dependent the insane, the Indigent poor,
the physically o fillet rd nnd the Inmates of
various charitable nnd correctional Institu
tions Yet adjacent to those Institutions
there nro thousands of acres nf land, either
owned by the State or readily and cheaply
ovntlable, which can bo cultivated and tilled,
nnd made to yield sulllclently to supply
lrlually nil of our dependents with food,
thus reducing the tax burden of every
property owner. The task nils for uni
formity of control, nyslem nnd the applica
tion of modern method. The responsibility
for properly handling this Joint proposition
of n State farm and State market should
be centralized III some olio body or agency,
and I earnestly favor legislation designed
to bring this nbout.
"If New Jersey Is to perform Its duty lo
Its crlmlnnl charges nnd Itself thn prison
problem must be solved. Likewise, atten
tion must be given to' overcrowded condi
tions nnd other problems at various other
Stato Institutions. It seems to me that
we are far enough advanced In our Ideas
on prison reform lo face this problem
nnd solvo It for nil time In a big way.
"I bellevo tho door of opportunity for
this solution opens to penal farms and
road work. If these well-known Ideas nro
put Into greater practical practice In Now
Jersey thero will bo no need for such ex
tensive prisons, lusldo Industries, which,
of course, must bo preserved for thoso
prisoners who cannot do outsldo work, will
bo easier regulated, because they shall need
to bo less extensive. Tbp Statc-uso system
an a sulistlttilo for the contract labor sys
tem, which Is unlawful nnd ought not to
bo permitted under tlffe siilit"rruge of tho
so-called plice-prlcc inrrii, can be extended
on such n comprehensive scale that It may
bo possible ex en to solve the prison prob
lem xvllliout adding a foot to the grounds
of tho Institution In Trenton.
"The question ol a revision nf our cor
poration laws is already In the hands of
a speclnl commission. There Is no doubt
that the subject needs our careful consid
eration becauso of the changed conditions
brought nbout by the so-called 'seven sisters'
nets.
"It Is a xvell-known fact that a consid
erable number of tho provisions of tho so
called 'sex'en sisters' nro In conflict xvlth the
Clayton net of the Federal Government. Is
It not unwise that our Stato laws regulating
business should contllct with the last word
that the Federal Government hay said upon
this important subject?"

There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in
this country concerning Dodge Brothers' car.
Nearly every man or woman you meet has a clean-cut idea of the
kind of a car it is.
How friendly and how favorable that idea is you probably know
so well that it is not necessary to go into details.
It is not over-stating the case to say that the very large produc
tion of the first two years did not develop a single serious
fault.
This notable achievement surely justifies public confidence in
Dodge Brothers as close and careful manufacturers,
It will be well worth your while to examine thit car at the Show
Booths 39 and 51
The gasoline consumption is, unusually low.
The tire mileage is unusually high.
