GOVERNOR MERRIAM's MESSAGE.

Governor Merriam's message reviewed
the industries and resources of the state.
and then took up the convict labor prob
lem. Before the state begins to employ
the convicts upon its own account and
before purchasing machinery, ETC.. for
the prisons, the governor suggests that a
joint committee be appointed from SEN
ate and house to consider this important
problem and report the result Of their in
vestigations. He suggests that bill be
introduced increasing the number of the
board of inspectors to five members. and
giving to such board authority to select
a warden, and, if necessary, a superin-
tcndent and such, other officers as, in it's
Judgment, may be necessary to conduct
in the best possible and most business
like manner the operations determined
upon under the present law, or such
notifications thereof as may be deemed
wise to make.
Railroad transportation in the state.
freight rates and the work of the state
railroad commission were reviewed by'
the governor. He conceded the right of
railroad companies to- charge such
rates AS would bring fair
returns for capital invested.
but thought some restraint should be
placed upon railroad companies by the
state. He claimed that the laws Of the
state dealt fairly with both the people
and railroads.
In this connection the governor said
he regarded. the compensation of the
railroad and warehouse commissioners
of our state, as fixed by law, inadequate
and not at all commensurate with the
trust reposed in them and the grave re-
sponsibiiities they assume.

The Elcctiya syste,,,.

The governor claimed that the new
Whiteman election law was great i'm
provement over all previous statutes
affecting state elections. It would be
well, he suggested, to change the hours
for voting, SO that the polls could be
opened at Q o'clock a. M, instead of 8
O'Clock, and closed at o'clock instead of
z o'clock p. M. thus giving to those who
go to their work at an early hour an
opportunity to first deposit their ballot.
Thhe state soldiers home, university
and chronological institute received at
tention in the message, and it was urged
that the interests of these institutions be
carefulli looked after by the legislature.
He also urged that the state board of
health be encouraged in its work by pro-
viding additional aid or equipment. The
state game laws should be strictly en-.
forced. and the duties of the game war
den be more clearly defined and that
proper compensation be attached to the
office. !EssssE
