growing army of pc hunters and tax
eaters calls for the exercise Of every
power possessed by the state gov

There is muck wisdom In what Gov
ernor Dawson gays about many
things, yet he misses the main ques-
ton In his latest message, as in al
mis- previous public utterances he
misses Il, and that the fact that Il
Is incumbent upon those who ad
minister the affairs of the govern

leaders, In no act OF It's legislatures
has the Republican party IN this
state shown in recent years that It
understands or appreciates the mean

Tins not because believed or believe
NJ. G'asscock insincere In his desire
70 cut of some OF these unnecessary
expenses, but because I believe him
unable to cut them of. The attaches
Of the two houses have not yet been
apo nted--that Is not all of them
but there have already been enough
