Stands by Demand for Direct Nomina- ;
tions—Wou'd End Bookn~aking |
and White Slave Traffic.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. It. —In two of
the moat important documents sent ,
out from the Executive Chamber Gov- I
ernor Hughes called upon the State
Legislature to defeat tho proposed in- ,
come tax amendment to the federal |
constitution, again urged a law pro- \
riding for direct primaries and an- |
nounced the gift of 10,000 acres of j
; land and $1.000,000 from Mrs. Mary
W. Harriiuan for a great public park I
on the Hudson River.
One of the documents was the Cov- j
I ernor's annual message to the Legis- )
lature. The attack on tho proposed i
Income tux amendment was made the
j subject of a special message. The !
| Governor analyzes tho amendment I
| from a constitutional standpoint,
: quoting eminent judical opinions to j
justify his determined opposition, and !
1 recommending that the proposed con- j
; stltutional amendment piovidiug for j
an income tax be not ratified by the
i Legislature of this state.
The Governor in the general mes
sage urged amendments of the Penal
Code to prevent oral betting, or book
making without the recording of bets,
and the so-called "white slave" traf
fic. A renewal of his recomtnenda- j
tion for the inclusion of all telephone
and telegraph companies under the
jurisdiction of the Public Service com
missions was distinctly brief, even
curt. Extension of the state's agricul
tural work, the state development of
water powers and the adoption of a
more liberal forest preservation pol- j
icy were other features of themes- ;
sage which were expected by the leg
islators.
Entirely new was the acknowledg
ment of a,gift by Mrs. E. >l. Harriinan
of a tract of land of 10.000 acres near
her estate and $1 000,000 in cash to
acquire other land for a great state
park in the highlands of the Hudson.
In the body of the message and in au
appendix giving in detail correspond
ence between the Governor, George
W. Perkins, president of the Palisades I
Park Commission, and others there ]
was Ret forth a comprehensive plan
for the acquisition of the splendid
pari:, to include most of the beautiful
territory of the Palisades region, with
a river.frontage and a great roadway
along the base of the Palisades. Gifts
by John 1). and William Rockefeller,
J. Pierpont Morgan, Mrs. Sage. Miss
Helen Miller Gould. George \V. Per
kins anil others amounting to $1,625,-
000 were announced, with the 'declara
tion that $2,500,100 more had been
raised. To meet this New York State
is to appropriate $2.500,000 to acquire
land and build roads and to remove
the new state prison fiom Rockland
County to some place where it will
not interfere with this park work.
Charter revision for New York
City, the passage of measures to as
sure more economical condemnation
proceedings, comprehensive automo
bile legislation, with a license tax;
proper legislation to provide better
compensation for injury of employees
along the lines of the report of the
Comission on employers' liability, the
lessening of special legislation for
municipalities and a definite system
of budget making by the state were
uiged by Governor Hughes.
Other recommendations are:
That the Governor appoint a cabi
net of Stat administrative head-.- ac
countable to him, in place of the pres
ent elective State officers. This would
requi; e constitutional amendment.
That the New York ballot be sim
plliied.
Publicity of all campaign expendi
tures.
Direct nominations.
That it be made a eriive, with se
vere penalty, for a motorist to seek to
escape after an accident to which his
act lias contributed.

j J. Pierpont Mcrgan Buys the Morton
and Fifth Avenue to Consolidate
j with His Guaranty Trust—Total Oi
j posits $171,000,000.
| New York, N. Y„ Jan. 11.— J. Pier
j uoiu Moragn, head o.' the Money
j Triut, has accomplished another of his
| tremendous coups, merging three
I trust companies into one of the great
i est banking institution iu the coun
j try- a $200,000,000 as:>.'.s concern to
| be known as the Guaran.y Trust Coai
' panv.
The companies consolidated are the
Morton Trust Company, the Kifth
Avenue Trust Company and the Guar
amy Trust Company.
As the power of Mr. Morgan ex
pands to unlimited bounds the finan
cial activities of another king of High
finance, Thomas F. Ryt u, are stead
ily diminished by his own voliiion.
Very swiftly Mr. Ryan is divesting
himself of properties and their burden
of cares in order to seek complete re
tirement. The consolidation will
make the Guaranty Trust Company
die second largest trust company in
! the United States, with -.ggregate do
j posits of $140,000,000 and assets if
S 170,000,000. The merger will end
Ryan's sway of the Morton Trust
Company, which controlled the Fifth
Avenue. It will give the Morgan and
iHied interests control or influence
over life Insurance companies, banks 1
trust companies with aggregate re
sources of $2,302,860,"82, and of rail
way and industrial corporations with
an aggregate capitalization of !>7.u,".';,-
961,606, a total of almost $10,000,000,-
000.
Coming ?o soon after J. P. Morgan's
I purchase of Ryan's majority holding
| of the stock of the ISqui-able Life As
| snranco Society, the nn ger of trust
companies is especially utgniflcant.
About two years ago Ryan an
j nounced that he intended to give up
i practically all his big interests, and
he withdrew from most of the firms
in which he had big Holdings. The
Equitable Life and the Morton Trust
Company were two of the corporations
from which he did not retire. Mor
gan bought his Holdings of stock in
the insurance company, thereby
eliminating him from that. Now in- ;
teiests closed to Morgan have wiped i
out the Ryan control of the Morton |
Trust Company by consolidating it !
with the Guaranty Trust Jompany.
