g Precisely, at the 4 hour Of moon both
branches of the legislature assembled
in the hal Of, the house to- listento the
message of retiring Gov. Merriam and
3ov.-elect Nelson. To the reading of
zach the closest attention was paid. y
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of Repre-
In accordance with we'll esta blished preos.
1snt, am allowed the privilegeof calling at.
esntion to the results attained In tho various
apartments Of tho state sovernmsnt during
Of tho Legislators. and to that end desire to
submit briefly tor your consideration such
Items a. deem OF espec. al interest. I shall ~
lions with references to the future actio OF
his body upon matters considered Of impor-
tance to the people Of tho commonwealth. Per.
nit mo to again reitsrate the sentiment OK
pressed in my last message to this body with ref-
.rence to the desirability of avoiding all lsgis-
xaish h: TOR it. s IL.
prevailing evils, il may be permitted to say
10, Of all legislation Of tho present time that
:or ills that are impossisls to cure through log.
slative enactment. 1t Is desirable and neces-
AIRY to enact Jaws that will protect all citizens
but to attempt to provide a panaeea for every
trouble. whether imaginary or real. is Of
doubtful propriety, and must result in clogxing
possible of execution. DISCRIMINATORY Of any
character that 10 to the advantage Of one
,itizen snd works injury TO another should be
with FREQ institutions. The spirit Of psternal-
!sm. so.celled IN governmen seems to pervade
he public mind to An alarming extent. and, II
clusion, must evsntuate in the building up Of
| favored classes and communities to the detri-
ment of the people.
The railroad and warehouse commissioners
| AYE submitted their biennial report and have
Indicated the work that has been accomplished
ears. The board has pointed out the desira-
| 'iilty OF making some changes in our present
az, 20 - to have it: conform IS far as possible
throuRhout the national domain. They have

ability Of enacting laws relative tothe issuance

nent: Tho law should be amended VI a. to per.

Individual shippers have been carried

comply With the spirit Of tho law in thi. re-
.psct Tho most important work entrusted to
doners is tho inspection and weighing Of grain.
During tho past year. with ono or two. sxcep-
become private warehouses and arc not ans.
aable to the laws of tho state. The commission
very properly makes some suggestions as to
he amendment Of the law which should make
| Ill warehouses At terminal points public insti-
sations, and under the direct charge Of the
5ar:house commissioners. The question Of
outside OF the large cities is most vexatious
ne. and is a problem most difficult of solution.
tncrc - every reason to bstieve that at coun-
Try points there ha, bssn much discrimination
"a the way OF 'dockags aud in grading VIII At.
ana very many wrongs ha - been perpetrated
n this direction to the dstrimsnt Of the
