MUST

"A Great Task, but Pledge Has
Been Given, and 1t Must
Be Done"
SILENT AS TO POLICIES
Governor Elect Especially Inter
ested in Conservation, Agri-
culture, Finance and
Taxation.

Albany, Nov. 12.-'"The State OF New
York is living beyond it's means We
have simply got to stop this wasteful
extravaganza of state funds 1t will be
a great task, but the pledge has been
given and it must be done
That is what Governor-elect John A
Dix said concerning his prospective ad-
ministration while on the way from his
lodge, at NIcKeever, in the Adirondacks,
on the Empire State Express. He ar
rived here tonight to spend Sunday at
his Albany home.
1T is my intention TO give the state a
thorough business administration" he
continued. Il shall strive to that end,
but first I must readjust my own busi-
ness so that after / am inaugurated the
state can have my whole time.
Politics are no more with me. AS to
my policies I have formed no definite
ideas as yet as to just what course J will
pursue. 1t will he time enough to think
Of them in December, after I have my
own affairs out of the way
Asked as to what things he was espe-
c!ally interested in. the Governor elect
said:
First the conservation of our natural
resources. Water power. for instance, is
going to waste in many Of our streams.
The great forest fires in the Adirondacks
must be stopped. You cannot hope to
fight a forest fire after It once gains q
headWay. In the cities fire is controlled.
Why shouldn't ii be controlled in the
country? I believe that our rural fire
fighting force is not large enough
Second. agriculture I have always
thought that more attention should be
given TO agriculture. Why, IN many
other countries they are raising more
wheat than we do here. The soil is no
better. We simply do not know how to
get the most there is out of the land. L
think school children should be taught
agriculture. We must get more out OF
the land.
Third, there is finance. AS I told my
neighbors over in Boonville last evening.
while I am Governor the public dollar
must have the purchasing power of the
private dollar.
ana tlen tler6 is the problem OF TAX
alton. If We Of the State OF New York
insist on spending beyond our means
more taxes must be levied. It is obvious
that the deficit must be raised But, as
I said, 1 hope We shall be able to keep
our expenditures within our income.
'In December, after my business is
readjusted, l shall make g, personal study
OF all these and many more subjects.

for my inaugural and my administration
that will follow. al will be considered

The Governor elect looked the picture
of health when he stepped from the train
this evening. He was accompanied by
his secretary, John Dix Coffin. He plans
to stay in Albany until Monday morning,
when he expects to take Mrs. Dix to Nc
Keever. He said he might have a four
days business engagement in Quebec
next week, but he was not sure. Other
wise he will probably stay two more
weeks In his mountain camp.

washington, Nov. 12.-Through un-
official sources a report has reached the
State Department that Antonio Rodrl-
guez, the alleged Mexican who was
burned at the stake at Rock Springs,
Tex, by a mob, was really born in New
Mexico. II this should prove to be the
case, OF course the Mexican government
would be obliged to withdraw its pro-
test and demand for reparation. 1t
would leave the United States the ag-
grieved party in the rioting and anti
American demonstrations in Mexico.
Little doubt is entertained here that
the wireless message on the subject OF
the citizenship of Rodriguez, which was
picked up last night by the War Depart
ment's wireless station at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, was one being sent from
Philander C. Knox, Secretary of State, to
President Taft, who is on board the
cruiser Tennessee en- route to Panama
Confirmation of this report, however,
was withheld at the State Department,
,fhe message in question read:
THE editors of incendiary newspapers
will be arrested. The embassy is Vigor-
ously protected.
II am Informed upon unquestionable
authority that Antonio Rodriguez was
born in New Mexico, and was an Ameri-
can citizen"
It is expected at the department that
the dual investigation of the lynching
