There Is no fact more striking than
the way modern life Is pushing back
the period of old age. says n writer In

Austen's novels to find gentlemen of
thirty-hve described as middle aged.
At sixty they were Cabling in their

that dead, delightful, benevolent old
gentleman of forty-fve!
Fifty years ago. when n man reach

beard under his. chin, bought himself
pair of drab CATERS and n white
ncckcloth, and spoke With anxious
concern OF the rising generation,
whose manners were so different from
those he had known as young
man." Nowadays the popular notion
of irresponsible, irrcpressible youth is

GOVERNOR ODDlE'S MESSAGE

The message OF Governor Oddle
to the legislature is one of the
most important state papers that
has come from the governor
office for many years. 1t treats of
every phase of the state's affairs
and urges rigid economy in the
conduct of the state government.
The message certainly shows that
Governor Oddie has a thorough
knowledge Of the state and its legi-
slative needs.
Below will be found a few Of his
most important recommendations !:
He urges the repeal Of the law
creating the state board of assess
ors and tie act crosing the office
of state license and bullion. tax
agent and that bill be passed pro-
viding for state tax commission
and bringing the states entire rev.
enue system within the the control,
examination and review of such
commission. TIC governor, lieu
tenant governor, controller. attor-
ney general and the three members
of the railroad commission to be
ex-oficio members, with the gov
ernor as chairman; and providing
for the appointment of state fiscal
agent who shall be secretary Of the
commission and preform such
duties a. the commission directs.
Said commission to have the power
to fix valuations, raise or lover val
uations Of any class or piece of
property. to have initiatory and ap-
pellate jurisdiction over the county
boards of equalization. to prescribe
general and uniform rules govern
ing the assessment of property by
the assessors of various counties.
requiring the three members Of the
railroad commission and the state
fiscal agent, under direction of the
commission, to act as special OK
aminers with full inquisitorial pow
ers. requiring the three members
Of the railroad commission and the
fiscal agent to act as examiners,
under the direction of the tax
commission. providing for the
statutory regulations for the valu-
alton of property, abolishing the
mortgage tax, empowering the
commission to fix the tax rate
within a maximum and minimum
fixed by the legisture and provid-
ing for the payment Of taxes by a
taxpayer who appeals to the
courts.
The governor favors a strict en-
forcement of the gambling law,
but advises its amendment so as to
make distinction between card
playing for amusement and recrca-
tion and actual gambling.
He recommends the amendment
Of the primary election law so as
to lessen the expense to candidates
and to the tax payers. Also the
repeal Of the acts creating the
Offices of state veterinarian and
state auditor and the law creating
the state publicity commission.
