Show DENEEN URGE'S LAW. TO GOVERN PRIMARIES SPRINGFIELD. HI., Jaj. . Gov. Deneen, In. his Inaugural message to the Legislature, urged the necessity for a compulsory primary law. He recommended the extension of the. civil service to all State institutions. He called attention to the necessity' for the building of good roads throughout through-out the State, suggesting that the convicts con-victs in the State penitentiaries, now practically without work under the laws of the State, might be employed at least in preparing the materials for roads. Needed amendments to the labor laws were recommended. Arbitration to settle set-tle disputes between employers and employees, em-ployees, he said, deserved attention. He' recommended the enacting of a law requiring corporations organized in the State to have their capital stock paid up, either in money or property, before the issuance of a license, "to -the end that the State shall not become a silent partner in frauds perpetrated by promoters upon the Investing public." |
