During his two terms he has signed
Efty-siX labor laws. including among
them the best labor laws ever enacted

urged the enactment of labor laws In

going so far as to place the demand
for a labor law in one of his messages
to an extra session of the legislature.
Only 16o labor laws have been en-
acted in the state since its erection in
