EXECUTIVE SHOWS WHERE

TAKES MUST Be LOWERED
Besides Plan to Reduce Taxes the
Governor Outlines Needed Changes
~ In Statutes and Departments

In a master effort, the Honorable
Moses Alexander, governor of Idaho
commences his message with state
ment that the paramount question of all
governments is the question of taxation
and the people of Idaho are as wide
awake on the question as any people in
world. Then follows statement which
emphasizes the responsibility the COVER
nor feels in acting as their agent to Sc
cure lower taxes, and again he firmly
states as he did in his campaign for
election, that taxes must be lowered
commencing at the state capitol, in the
office of the governor, and from the
Halls of the Legislature it must Be car
raied to every department of the state
and county.

The Wrong and the Remedy.
Then follows statement of the CON
fidence he imposes in the legislature
to cooperate with him in aiding and
assisting in procuring relief from the
tax burden.
The people, he states, do not want
theories and are little concerned with
new laws that will create more taxes.
The people of Idaho are largey en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, and
their wants do not require many laws.
A government for them should be sim
pie and the least expensive of all Cover;
ments. The present weight upon their
shoulders is caused by errors of the
past, each year seeing new machinery
added to the government to satisfy the
politician. The result is top heavy
structure of unnecessary offices, use
less boards and commissions which him
der rather than facilitate governmental
work. The people demand an oboli-
ton of useless boards and commissions.
Addressing himself to the Legislature
he expresses his profound gratitude to
the people of Idaho for the honor con-
ferred upon him and his deep respon-
- sibility to them and admonishes them
that he greets them as body which
must assist him in his advisory capacity
as executive leaving the performance
of their duties as they will find them in
the constitution of the state.
Then follows. an outline of his duties
in recommending measures deemed ex-
pedient and to present an estimate of
money required for state purposes
passing from that to statement OF
their obligation and office as law
making branch, reminding them of the
desire of the people for lower taxes, and
infarming them of the desire of the peo
ple for lower taxes, and stating that the
law abiding spirit prevailing among the
people of the state necessitates few
laws being passed. ''We have too many
laws, he SAYS and, the repeal OF
some Of the laws we have on the statute
books would be a blessing to the peo
pie.
The massage is long but carries {
message of interest and invigoration
and the remedial suggestions are apt
and reasonable. It's length prevents
the publication of the entire messag,
and we have therefore attempted t,
brief the subject and give the reader
the essential points.
