could make through sister states nav
ing such laws. l recommend that
state Purchasing Agent be establish
ed, To buy in bulk for all State insti-
buttons. This was a new departure,
and l knew that certain interests, for
reasons satisfactory TO themselves,
would oppose il. Still, feeling certain
that it would save n large amount of
money to the State, which could be
expended in making appropriations Tor
new enterprises, and acting upon the
democratic principle of 1.-The greatest
good to the greatest number | felt 1T
my duty TO lay the matter before your
body, feeling assured that by thus
saving from the amounts needed for
the institutions, that taxes would be
lessened, and at the same time the
institutions would be brought directly
under the control and supervision of
the Council of state. ] now hear that
this measure has been defeated before
your committee. If SO, | regret it. for
in my opinion, this department., if
wisely conducted would have been
largely beneficial to the state III money
saved. No one believes more than /
do in giving all possible aid and sup
port to our State institutions, and they
should have whatever is necessary for
their actual needs. but this should be
done with a due regard for other in
terests affecting the State. which are
just as important to its welfare. and
therefore sufficient amount should be
retained TO enable some efforts to be
made toward the better development
of our resources and the upbuilding of
new enterprises.
Your duties are now nearly over
and you will soon return to your
homes. Love of State. devotion to
duty. and a desire to do right, has
seemed to guide and direct you and
YOU return to your people knowing
that you have tried faithfully to serve
them. The courtesy and uniform
kindness extended to me by your Hon.
cradle Body is appreciated. and while
you did not do all things that I believe
them TO be for the States best inter-
ests. urgently recommended, still /
concede TO you the same State love
and patriotism that actuated me and
acquiesce in your Judgment as being
the result of what in your wisdom
seemed best
I'm this last general message to
your Honorable Body. allow me to
wish each one of you happy and
safe return home and n future life of
success and usefulness.
