,oar edneationai department has
made wonderful strides. The state
superintendent is to be commended
for his excellent work Our school
system is bs1glesome and should be-
rewritten and placed upon a busl-
ness-llke basis. This state superln-
tended very much favors a PROPOSE
ton OF this kind / shall so into the
matter n detail in the near fnturea
Our laws should be amended that
the poor school districts win have
the same opportunities as those
more fortunately and favorably To-
Gated in industrial sections, or along
the line of railroads. BY this re-
arrangement the boys and girls OF
the rural sections would have the
same advantages of high schools as
have the boys and girls OF more ia
yored sections.
court decisions are slow and
proceedings cumbersome, II our
constitution would permit, 1t should
be SO arrsnged that court procedure
will be simplifed, in order llat
equity and justice can be had in 4
reasonable time; but if the ronstitu-
ton viii not permit of this arrange
msnt, 1t should be amended with
the idea Of readjusting the courts,
SO as. to guarantee the rapid dispatch
of business coming before them for
adjudication.
IA business commission should
be created from the legislative body
TO act with the governor for the
purpose of inquiring into the prob
lens Of state affairs. land to prepare
practical date from which the legs-
lature when it meets could obtain
valuable information. If plan like
this should be adopted, it would
guarantee more equitable and uni
form laws, and eliminate immature

by amendments az each succeeding
eg:slative session, where If mature
ly considered. primarily, as sug.
gest, the necessity of amending laws
would be practically obyiated.

Loyalty by my cabinet officials, the
public will be guaranteed more
satisfactory ana business-like adj
ministration, conducted on an eco
nomic basis.
1--WE must place our state where
it rightfully belongs-as peer OF
any other in the union of states, in
progress; After careful and mature
consideration, the patronage of my
administration will be distributed in
a geographical way, SO as to give
consideration to all alike. but my
appointees must understand that all
must ,make and give good account
of their stowaT Dish, p ssad service, II
they expect to remain in the en-
ployment OF the state during my
term as governor shall dedicate
the next four years Of my life to the
state, as its chief executive, with
the one object in view, and that Is,
in my decling years l may have the
pleasure of receiving the common
dation and blessing of the citizen
ship of my native commonwealth;
and that my efforts during my adj
ministration may be impressed upon
them as a sincere endeavor on my
part. II shall be able to accom-
plish this goal, will feel amply re-
paid for the efforts that l shall have
mado.
