After the conclusion of the prayer
and the administration of the oath to
the governor by Chief Justice Stayton,
the speaker, introducing Governor
Hogg, said: "Ladies and gentlemen
and members of the senate and house
of representatives of the Legislature, 1
have the honor ami the pleasure of In
PRODUCING to you your governor, James
s. Hogg."
Governor Hogg said: ''Mr. Speaker
and Gentlemen of the Senate and
House of Representatives In good
faith / have taken the oath just adj
ministered and now with profound
concern assume the grave RESPONSE
blities imposed by the Office of gov
ernor
~ have no furtherre recommendation
at this time to make to your hoDora-
BILE bodies than may be found In the
message delivered to you last week.
The end and aim held in view by that
message are the prom otion OF GOOD
government and the material inter-
ests of the people.
Prosperity, after all, gentlemen, de-
prnds upon the condition OF labor and
its profits. Every legitimate effort
that tends to Tighten the burdens OF
industry, and to infuse into IL life and
vigor, must in time receive the Conn
mendation OF all patriots. From the
farms, the ranches and the work.
shops, as a result of labor, springs
the wealth Of the governments; and to
their care and encouragement every
leading legislative effort and measure
should be directed. When last year
over three million dollars were saved
to the pr ducers from traffic taxes
alone, without diminishing the re-
ceipts of our transportation cOmpa-
MES, the lesson was taught that this
saving, diffused throughout industry
In all its forms, marks the era of
prosperity In this state.
Consider we'll the beginning, gen.
tIemen; add few more touches to
the work laid out by the platform de-
mands, and your names will become
enshrined in the hearts of your con-
stituents and honored by those to fol-
low. When the people speak, let
their will be done. They have
spoken, and / have confidence In the
integrity, the intelligence and the d.
deity of this legislature. thank
you for your attention"
Lieutenant Governor Crane, after

having been introduced by the speak
or, said:
Senator Representatives and Fellow Citizens;
The legislature, and the officers just
inaugurated, are before you as result
of the last election. We come here as
the servants of the people by whom
we have been chosen TO execute their
commands and to obey their behests.
Happily for us, those csmrlands are
conveyed to most OF us In language
that is unamblguous and in terms nos
hard to understand. Ii remains LOT
us to perform the duties thus placed
upon us, then to return home ana
render an account to those by whom
we have been selected for the dis
charge of that important trust.
congratulate you, my friends,
this morning, that the official
relations just instituted, have begun
under such favorable auspices. En-
Outraged by the low taxes that nave
been placed upon them, and by the
abundant crops of last year as result
of their labor, our agricultural bretn-
rem are more prosperous than usual.
Many of them are purchasing homes
for themselves, and encouraging otn'
ers to come into our state and avail
themselves of ite inducements. Fur
Their than this, our daily press comes
to us laden with thejoyful intelligence
that capitalists from all quarters are
coming into texas and making homes,
investing their means In railway en-.
terprises. and in manufacturing and
other industries in our large and
growing cities. We welcome them,
one and all, and pledge that their In
vestments here shall he as secure %
they are in any other state OF the
union.
More than that, my friends; It is per
haps not proper to mention II but ~ Il
in my heart and / cannot refrain
While this is the occasion OF our IN
duction into Office, 1t is soon to be fol
lowed by the inauguration of Demo
cratic president, and by the assembly
Of Democratic congress. With oul
federal interests In their hands, com
mitted as they are to the reduction o
our taxes 20 q revenue basis, and thu
settlement of our financial problem II
accordance with their principles 0
Justice and sound political economy
we have more reasons to hope, aud
sincerely believe that we have enter
ed upon an era of prosperity In on
whole country at larges and IN Texh
especially. / thank you"
