 Duties and Bonds of Officers
 The duties of our state officers are now but imperfectly set forth in the law, while bonding requirements are practically non-eXistent In calling your attention to this, l suggest that ample surety company bonds be re- Quired of all state officials, whose du- ties are of a nature to call for this character Of protection and that the state pay the. premium for such bonds.
 Labor
 To render effective, by wise legis- lation, the constitutional mandates framed to protect the rights Of labor should be one of this legislature $ most seriously approached undertak- ings. These mandates, as l interpret them, were drawn in an earnest de sire to do justice, not only to those who earn their bread by daily toll, but as well to those whose capital, energy and talents find avenues ana markets for the nations brawn and In. fbfC spirit they should be observed and obeyed, and a labor code drafted halng for it's motto that democratic admonition equal right for all; spe- ciaI privileges tor none AS labor is honest, So must 1t be dignined; as it Is essential to the prosperity of the country, So should 1t be properly compensated, and as lie, the workingman's capital, is his only stock in trade, and once iost cannot be regained, so it should be protected. So believing, l am hearu- ly in favor of laws which will insure these ends. l favor the eight hour work day, not only in employment by the state but in all classes Of en- ployment, not requiring by their pe- cular character a longer day. l favor an employers liability law, which will truly make employers liable for the the safety of those working for them and with the single qualification that such liability maintains only Whlle the emploree is engaged in the dls- charge of his duties l see no reason for the distinguishing between the hazardous and so-called non-hazard- ous occupations. believe in the constitutional abolishment of the fel- low servant doctrine, and the reSolN- ing of the defense of the contriDu- tory neeiigence into a question or fact to be determined by Q jury. am against the Knitting of damages for personal injuries, but favor workable workman's compulsory compensation law which at the oir tion Of one who has been maimed, or the heirs of the one whose life has been lost in the discharge of his duties, may serve the partial ends oi justice without the courts intermln' able delays. or the ofttimes prohibit we expense involved in legal con test for damages. favor law which will nut out Of existence the perni- cious black Hst" by which employers l prevent men NAAO nave AAANNA WI displeasure from securing honest em- ployment elsewhere, and which VIII provide salutary punishment Tor any individual, association or corpoFatloh guilty Of this offense-
 believe that unionism, as a means Of dignifying, elevating and lmproN- ing the conditions of worklngmeh ana subject to such reasonable restIlc- tious and regulations as will protect the rights and freedom of ail' shouId be encouraged in every legitimate way. I have no more sympathy with the sentiments of the employer who opDoses unionism on the ground that he does not propose to let anyone run his business for him, than have with the gigantic combinations which bv force of unlimited wealth and with the heartlessness Tor Whlch they are proverbial. squeeze the liiS ont of their smaller competitors anu by criminal right run the business of tho nation. fl these combinations reasonable or unreasonable, are per Dissil,Ie ! say all strength to the honest workingman, who, by a peace frl continuation with his fellows, des- ires merely to bring about conditions which will enable him to support ms family in comfort and rear his chliu- ren in decency.
