Samuel W. McCal] in his third inaugural address yesterday said in part: “Gentlemen of the General Court: ‘‘We meet today under the shadow Ot a great war, which casts its sober- ing influence over us all. It touches more visibly the many thousands of households out of which our patriotic young men have gone to the camps “and the battle line, but there is no one of our people who does not in his Heart feel the supreme call which his country makes and who does not rec- ognize her cause to be his own, ‘“Dhe war imposes responsibilities far.from light, not only upon the of- ficers of the National Government but upon those who are charged with the work of conducting the government of ‘States. I feel sure that you will agree with me, gentlemen, that it is our first duty to see to it that the Common- wealth shall do her full share, as she has always done whenever the Nation has called upon her. “We must rigidly safeguard our ».credit, and carefully husband all our resources in order that what we have may be available for the support of the country. 1 feel sure that we shall co-operate with each other and shall scrutinize most earefully all appropri- ation bills—cutting out expenses that are unnecessary and conserving every resource of the Commonwealth. No ,,one can foresee the extent of the de- mands the war will make upon us. They have already been great. They may become greater. But when everything is at stake it would be worse than idle to count the cost. “Let us remember that the $100,- 000,000 or more of war taxes that the National Government levies each year upon Massachusetts come out of the same pockets from which come the taxes that support our State govern- ment. By making our own taxes light- er we shall render it easier for our people to meet the calls of the Nation, We have one duty before us and that is to maintain the position which the Commonwealth has always main- tained in times of national danger, and do all in our power that our coun- try may emerge victoriously from the trial through which she is passin “Up to the first of January more han 80,000 of the young men of Mas- achusetts had been mustered into tifferent branches of the military and raval service of the nation. Our Na- tional Guard was sent out well iplined, and through an approprio- Lton by the general court at the last sion, made available for use by the execcutive, it was very well squipped. Conscription Machinery “The elaborate machinery for the enforcement of the conscription act was created; the enpolment of more than 350,000 men subject to the act Shoroughly made—the arducus work of selection and exemption performed ~and the quotas cailed for by the act were furnished when they were due. Important things have required tention in addition to the furnish- Ing of the soldiers and sallor: “We require more than 30,000,000 tons of coal each year which must be brought to us over long railroad hauls, or after a long vovage upon the sea.

HOLLANDERYS’ 82-88 ASYLUM STREET, HARTFORD. THE DAYLIGHT STORE at the inercy of conditions which we cannot control . But our anxiety is increased even if our responsibility i lessened and all the more is it neces sary constantly to call into play fore- to provide for the needs of our peple. “On the 10th of last February our committee of public safety wasap- pointed—the first committee of that kind in any state in the Union. This committee of public safely was ap- tive organization. Under the leader- snip of its chairman, James J. Stor- rOw, 1d its executive manager, Henry B. Endicott, it has helped greatly in the war work of the commonwealth, and has rendered invaluable assistance in adjusting industrial disputes and securing fuel and food. “The legislature at its last session authorized the governor to organize a State Guard to protect the peace of the commonwealth if our regular mil- itary forces should be called out of the state. The wisdom of this ac- tion is now manifest, as the number of the National Guard remaining in the state service has dwindled to five officers and no privates. The serv- ices of the State Guard may not be necessary, but it constitutes a valuable insurance, for it would be manifestly unwise to have the state without armed forces when we are engaged in a great war. “The members of the guard have followed their work very industrious- ly, and they have been made into a well disciplined and equipped army that does credit to the commonwealth. 1 recommend that they have the full status of our militia until such time as our National Guard shall be re- turned to the service of the state. Workmen's Compensation. During the ar ending June 30, 1913, which wa the first year of the Workmen's Compensation Act, there was paid out to injured workers -in the form of compensation and medi- cal assistance $1,667,000. In the vear ending last June there was paid out over $5,000,000 for compensation and medical treatment. This increaso is great and appalling. Compensation is a very necessary and beneficent thing, but the pre- vention of the destruction of the live and limbs of workers is far better | than compensation, which cannot re- store them again. It is estimated that the economic waste from accidents alone in the commonwealth fifteen millions of dollars every 1 recommend that the carefully investigate this subject, with a view to providing remedial legisla- tion. There is another subject which kindred to the one I have just re- ferred to, and is of no less impor- tance. In my address to the general court a year ago I referred to the subject of health insurance for the protection and promotion of the phy sical well-being of the workers of the ! commonwealth. The Board of Char- vear. is ity and Bureau of Statistics have re- cently undertaken the study of tre causes of dependency of widows with families receiving assistance under %fuel and food, and we are greatly the Mothers' Aid Law, thought and judicious effort in order | exceeds | legislature | “This beneficent measure, designed | {to prevent the breaking of family { | ties, now aids over three thousand | families at an expense of am)roxA-J mately one million dollars each year. | The investigation shows that the de-| pendency in three cases out of four is! caused by the death from sickness of the father in his prime. Where the | dependency was caused by incapacity - | instead of death, sickness was again | the preponderating cause. The men whase families were thus deprived of support had previously been employ as skilled workmen with gooa wage: and vet thev werc unable to make | provision against death or serious ill- | ness. Life insurance had been sought { by many of them, but the amount of the insurance had been totally inade- | quate—amounting in mast instances to but a few hundred dollars—and was, largely consumed by expenses of the | last sickness and of burial. ¢ | “As I have said, general legislation should at the present session be un- dertaken with unusual caution. But the care of the workers has a very special reference to our efficiency in war. Their labor becomes all the more necessary, for the struggle is not merely between men, but between the productive forces of the nations. Conservation of Human Resonrces. “No subject can better engage your attention at a time like this than that which relates to the conservation of the human resources of the Common- wealth and the preservation and the . efficiency of ‘her men and women. A comprchensive system which would so far as possible do away with the | waste resulting from accident and sickness would be a wise, humane and beneficial measure. It would strength- | [en the hands of the country in war, and would result in tho saving of very many millions of dollars each year to the Commonwealth. | “At the last session the committec | of the legislature which considered my recommendations for health and| old age insurance were of the opinion | { that the advent of the war, after I| had made my recommendations, made | it advisable ,as a measure of present| | economy, to adjourn their considera- | | tion. That view would necessitate| their further adjournment until the end of the war. I believe firmly in the wisdom and justice both of health and old age insurance, and of the inevitableness of their coming. Very much is to be said in favor of both, even in war time, and especially in favor of the immediate conserva- | tion of the health of our workers. | “A legislative committee on finance | and budget procedure has given the I subject of a State budget very ex- | haustive consideration during the re- cess. I have referred upon former occasions to the need of providing for ‘ an efficient budget system. The Con- i stitutional Convention has under con- | sideration an amendment to the con- | stitution providing for a budget, but | until that is passed by the people ! legislative action upon this subject cannot bind Governors or subsequen | Legislatures. But it would be bind | ing upon the departments and would " penditure. probably be followed as a action. “The recommendations for spending money might well be accompanied by recommendations for raising it whether by loans or new taxes. A haphazard system of public finance is likely to be an expensive system. The comprehensive grouping of the finan- cial needs of the government will re- sult in the saving of time to the leg- islatura, a befter apportioning of appropriations among the different departments, and a lessening of ex- T heartily recommend ac- tion designed to secure a proper budget system. rule of State Transportation, “l urge upon vou the great im- portanc of improving the efficiency of the transportation systems of the Commonwealth. The National Gov- ernment is now operating the steam railroads of the country, and for the present they are practically taken from the field of our consideration, Our street railways systems are in deplorable condition, both with re- sard to their financial strength, and, as to the most of them, with regard to the character of the service they render the public. The state should require that these corporations should be honestly and economically man- aged, should provide good accommo- dations for their patrons, should do away with the excessive crowding of cars which adds a wearlsome length to the working day and does g much injury to health, and that they should be permitted to receive for this service a rate of fare which would pay the fair cost of rendering it, “Our people do not desire transpor- tation wholly or in part free, but they desire and should receive good servire at its fair cost. The chief elements of cost of such service are reasonablo wages., maintenance of the property, and a fair return upon actual invest ment, and not upon inflated values, “I recommend Jegislation designed to enable cur street e rilways to he officient eervants of the publie. If the public service commission does not possess sufficlent authority in the premises, I recommend that additional authority be granted them. “The constitutional convention v unable to finish its work, and has taken a recess until after the adjourn- ment of the present session of the lature.
