LIQUOR Under Sufferance.

The liquor traffic, he commended, did lot
exist in the state as a matter of right, but
of sufferance, yet it has an exemption from
authority denied other interests. The traffic
should be made to observe the law just like
any one else.
He recommended the amendment of the
anti-bribery law SO that witnesses could be
forced to testify, but relieving them from
prosecution by reason of their testimony
He urged the adoption of resolution for
a constitutional amendment provning for
the initiative and referendum in legislation
regarding this as of such Importance in
the final elimination of corruption and the
estahlishment of true representative gov
eminent
In concluding his message the governor
invited consideration of the propriety and
advisabiity of the adoption of resolution
making application to Congress to call a
convention for proposing amendments to
the federal Constitution, particularly with
reference to the election of senators by the
direct vote of the people, the establishment
of the principles of the initiative and refer

Should Have Balance Sheet.

Every corporation, he said, should be re-
balance sheet of it's business once a year.
There should be an annual tax in the ma
ture of a. privilege tax of 1.15 of l per- cent
on the capital stock of all corporations,
both domestic and foreign, doing business
in the state. The state should regulate the
charges of public-service corpora ton in or
der to prevent eXtortion To determine the
unreasonableness of rates there should oe
mower to inquire into and determine the
actual amount invested in such corpora
lions and to fix rates on reasonable basis.
The result of this should be to eliminate
fictitious values.
He recommended that the people of each
CITY or town be authorized to purchase or
own or operate any utility of nature
whenever they shall vote to do so, and to
issue bonds in payment thereof. The neces-
sary laws should be enacted giving the mu-
inequalities of the state full power to regu-
late tolls rates and charges for gas, cleo
trio lights telephone and other public Ctili
ties within such CITES and compelling the
interchange of telephone service and fixing
and regulating the charges thereof.
1t was the province of the generai assem-
bly, he said, to put an end to wrongs by
preventin- one corporation from OWL ng
stock in another, and authorizing quo war
ranto proceedings to be filed to dissolve any
corporation a majority Of the stock in
which is acquired by a holding company.
This was necessary, he urged, to prevent
the creation of monopolies in trade and
business in the state.

Advocates Registration Law.

He advocated a registration law appllca-
BILE to all towns of 10000 inhabitants or
over, and a law similar to that of Massa-
chusetts should be adopted, he said, where
all names are placed on the same ballot
one under the other, with the proper party
designation after each name, the voter to
designate by a ,rk the person ne desires
to vote for.
AS to horse racing and bookmaking, he
recommended law making it felony to
register bet upon a horse race, either on
a blackboard any other substance, or to
telephone a bet on horse race to any
other state, or to telegraph or use any de-
vice to accomplish the registration of bets
He also recommended legislation to sup
press bucket shops, rigid child labor laws
prohibiting a concern or corporation from
selling higher in c. part of the state than
in another, adding prison punishment for
violation of the antitrust laws and making
the penalty for the violation of the maxi
mum freight law apply to persons, corpora
tons and partnerships. also statute pro-
viding proper penalties for railroad corpora
tions or the directors employees or agents of
any railroad giving rebates on shipments
within the state.
