Excerpt from Report of the Commission of Public Welfare: Under Authority of Chapter 163 of the Public Acts of 1917, and House Joint Resolution 104 of the 1917 Session of the General Assembly N 0 measure ever presented before to the General Assembly of this state included within its terms so ambitious and com prehensive a scheme of social legislation and of social insurance or so many things not directly connected with any of the so called programs for social insurance and betterment as Senate Bill 508, the introduction and nature of which led to the enact ment of the act under which this report is made. Indeed, it would be difficult to construct a legislative measure which would result in more radical and expensive changes than the one pre sented under the introductory title above mentioned. When this Commission was appointed our country was already at war with the Imperial German Government. In fact, a state of war had been declared before Chapter 163 became a law. Every effort on the part' of the Federal and State Govern ment and of our people was being directed to the end that victory might be full and complete for the allies and the United States of America. Of course, we did not foresee that the end would come so quickly but this Commission realized that either during a period of war or in the time of readjustment of govern mental and business affairs and personal relations following a contest of such magnitude it would not be practicable within the limitations of time and of such appropriation as the Board of Control might feel authorized to make to undertake an adequate investigation of all of the matters referred.
