State Reformatory.
l recommend the establishment of a
state reformatory, designed according
to the most approved methods, for the
restraint and reformation of persons,

who have for the first time violated
the criminal statutes. That the sem

The creation of such an institution
would not entail any additional expense
upon the state for without it the state
prison must be enlarged. Such an in
stitution would relieve the congestion
of labor at the state penitentiary as
inmates Of the reformatory for a con-
siderable period could render service
in tbs construction.

young offenders, in my judgment,

tact with instructors of pure charac-

tories have been unable to fill their
orders although such orders have be n
properly and tia ly placed They fur
ti:cr contend that by reason of the
many opportunities presented to labor
ing men as result of our general pros
perity it has been impossible to obtain
labor with which to construct addition
al tracks. terminals and sidings.
Reciprocal Oemurrage.
notably those engaged in the shipment
of lumber products and wheat, contend
that these same conditions, in a greater
or less degree, have existed for the last
ten years, and that the railroads are,
therefore, at fault for having constantly
failed during such period to properly
anticipate the future tonnage. Ship
pers further contend that the real diff
ficulty lies in the railroads compelling
them to insure the carriers against
prove to be an er-investment in roll
ing stock and motive power. The ship
pers assert that it is the policy of the
transportation companies never to in
vest more capital in rolling stock and
motive power than is necessary to move
the entire tonnage in twelve months:
in other words, never to have so many
cars and engines on hand that there
would be danger of some of them lying
idle for any period. Such a policy
might be sound were the commerce Of
the state moved in a steady, well-bal-
anced and well-distributed manner, but
we all know that such a balance does
not exist; that the salmon pack, the
cereal crops and even manufactured
forest products move less at one time
of the year than at others, and hence
a congestion in transportation is newt
able at the moving times under the
existing system.
Be this as it may, the result is that
every man, woman and child within the
state is affected by reason of the traf-
fic restrictions placed upon the ship
per, whereby he is unable to conduct
his business as his necessities require.
MANY of the most active and promis-
ing communities within the state are
supported almost entirely by one or
more lumber or shingle mills. When
the mill must close all the laoorins
men in that community are thrown out
of work, while the grocer anu

Separate Insurance Department.
The office of insurance commissioner
has become of such Importance that
l believe it should be separate and in
dependent of any other office. More
over, the recent developments in re-
gard to the conduct of both fire and
life insurance organizations in the
United States have been of a character
to suggest the expediency and wisdom
Of encouraging the organization and
growth of domestic companies engaged
in the insurance business. The rapid
and ever increasing growth of the
state with the consequent increase in
demand upon the time Of the secre-
tary of state justly a separation of
these offices. Therefore, l recommend
the creation Of the office of state in
surance commissioner and that the
officer be chosen by vote of the people
as other state officers are chosen.
Our Car Shortage.
One of the most vital commercial
and financial problems confronting our
manufacturers and shippers of all kinds
is that of the failure of the common
carriers within the state to perform
the functions for which they were Gre
ated and in consideration of which per-
Torrance they were granted their priv
ileges, and for the performance of
which the public by it's support makes
their existence possible.
From all reliable information and
data obtainable, 1 am of the opinion
that three direct causes for this fall
ure exist: First, lack Of sufficient roll
ing stock, commonly referred to as car
shortage; second, lack of sufficient mo-
tive power: third, lack of sufficient
TRANSPORTATION facilities, particularly in
the way of terminals, sidings and addi-
tional tracks. The railroads, on one
hand, contend that the locomotive

Penitentiary Labor,
Owing to the inadeauacy of exist.
ing laws large number of convicts
IN the state penitentiary are unem-
ployed. This condition is costly to the
state ana 1nhuman to the prisoners,
utterly at variance with the dictates
OF common sense and sound business
methods in the management of penal
institution. The act approved March
10. 1903, permitting convicts to be en-
ployed in preparing material for road
construction. should be enlarged so as
to permit the use of convict labor in
improving and constructing highways
in the more sparsely settled sections
which otherwise would require state
aid. Work of this character, in the
open air and sunshine, away from
prison walls, will have a direct return
to the public in the value of the roads
constructed, but society at large will
reap richer reward indirectly
through the reformatory influences on
the prisoners. The same policy should
be followed in the counties and the
duty enjOined upon county authorities
to provide labor on the county high

| 1 have repeatedly invited leading citi-
zens of the state to visit inspect and
report on the conduct of the various
i public institutions and departments
This policy is based on the belief that
an outside view is helpful in dealing
with problems that arise in connec-
ton with details of administration. The
visitors I have appointed have served
without compensation and, aside from
the state officers invited to perform
this service, have paid their own trav-
cling expenses. They are, therefore,
entitled to the thanks of the people
for their gratuitous services in sub
| wealth. l recomemnd that hereafter
visitatiOns of this character be made

ture, between sessions, and that you

Under the provisions of an act of the
legislature of 1895, two normal school
buildings. one at Whatcom (now Bell
ingham), the other at Cheney, were
erected. An attempt was made to pro-
vide for their construction from the
proceeds of the sales of normal school
lands. Warrants were issued in the
sum of s10S,799.O7 to the contractors.
The validity of the method prescribed
for the payment of these warrants
was afterward questioned and the SUI
preme court held that, under the pro-
visions of the enabling act by which
the state acquired title to the lands,

Accounting for Collections.
Methods of handling state public
funds should be devised to insure
a systematic and effective check on
every state official who performs the
duty of collecting moneys Under the
lections made by any officer other
