Governor LarraDee attended personally to
every detail of the work pertaining to the
executive office. He inaugurated the sys-
tenn of making irregular and frequent visits
to state institutions to give them personal
inspection. He devoted himself to a study
Of the pardon cases and insisted on per-
sonally attending to this work. He gave
many hours of p~ainstaking labor and much
thought to the problem of taxation, and
especially to the problem Of railroad taxa

governor that he made himself an expert
in the matter of railroad rates and man.
agement, and later wrote and had pub
lished a valuable book on the subject. 1t
was during his administration that the
present railroad law was placed on the
statute books of the state and the authority
Of the state over rates was firmly estab-
lished. 1t was during his administration,
also, that the prohibitory liquor law was
undergoing a test in Iowa, and although
Mr.. Larrabee, as senator, had not been in
sympathy with the movement for state wide
prohibition, he gave to the law his earnest
support and insisted on strict enforcement
of the law, no matter what might be his
own views.
After retiring from the executive office
Governor Larrabee continued to live quietly
in his Clermont home, until called again to
the public service by an almost unanimous
demand Of the people to become head OF
the newly created State Board of Control.
He accepted only through a sense of duty
to the state, and continued only until he
saw the principle Of the board firmly es-
tablished and its work organized so that it
could not be other than a permanent sue
cess.
Governor Larrabee is of a Connecticut
family well known. Captain Adam LARA

of 1912 and a graduate from the United
States Military academy. One step further
