cummins' Father Present.

plause.
Garst Is Inaugurated.
At o'clock Governor Garst was in
augurated and delivered his address,
being sworn in by Chief Justice Ladd.
Garst Compliments Legislature.
Governor Garst. in his inaugural ad-
dress, said in part:
There can be no reasonable doubt
of }l,o inf fiNnc
made by you and your predecessors for
the betterment Of our educational In
stitutions. No one. / am sure, can
question your good judgment in MAX
ing such magnificent provision for the
agricultural college. 1t seems to be the
concensus of opinion that the material
interests of the state have been adj
vanced each year many times the
amount appropriated. In addition to
this the citizenship of the state has.
for the present and for all time, been
greatly elevated. I think no one who
has the good of the state at heart will
question your wisdom in providing for
a greater university, an institution
that is turning out yearly a great
number of young people whose pres
ence in the different sections of the
state often act as a veritable benedic-
ton. With expenditures of something
like $12,000,000 for our common school
system, nothing can be more essential
than we'll equipped normal school.
eff I am not in error, history will
accord to this legislature great credit
for what 1t has done to harmonic our
political methods with our ideals and
the ideals of the founders of the re-
public What you have done has, in
a large measure, I sincerely hope, re-
moved forever some of the pernicious
influences that surrounded your pre-
decessors. While in many fifteen years
l have never known of we'll authenti-
Gated case Of legislative wrong doing
on the part of men entrusted with the
sacred responsibilities of making the
laws of the state, l still feel that you
have made it easier for those who fol-
low to serve with fidelity the inter-
ests Of the people as whole.
'It is not too much to say that our
constituents associate with this gen.
eral assembly more often than any
thing else the passage Of the primary
bill. No legislation since the organiza-
ton of the state has indicated itself
more quickly nor more completely than
this The action of the joint assem-
bly, today is perhaps the most COM
plete vindication of the law. 1t has
been, it seems to me, in the hearts
and minds of the people for long
time, and that they should select their
representatives in the senate of the
United States. In accepting the man
date Of the voters of Iowa you have
today come just as near to this as it
is possible under the federal constitu-
tion. Your successors will no doubt
find some features of the law that will
need slight amendment; but the prin-
ciple of the law has been, I hope,
placed indelibly on the statute books
of the state"
This evening great crowd will
gather at the state house and they
will be received by Governor Garst
and Senator Cummins, the state Off
cials assisting.
Auditor Of State B. F. Carroll, in
his biennial report filed with the gov
ernor yesterday, estimates that ST.
500, ,OOO'will be available for extraordin-
ary appropriations by the Thirty-third
general assembly.
In view of the fact that the board Of
control asks for the state institutions
much less appropriations than in for
mer years, and on account of other
large expenditures of the state for i'm
provements, such as the soldiers mon
uments and historical building, and the
rebuilding of the institutions have been
completed, the coming legislature will
find appropriations one Of it's easy
tasks.
Auditor Carroll's estimate of the
ordinary expenditures Of the state for
the biennial period ending June 80,
1911, based upon the present general
laws and the expenditures during the
last fiscal period amounts to $6,291 900.
This does not include any special or
extraordinary appropriations which
may be made by the Thirty-third gen.
eral assembly.
