hinges around the tax commission. The governor as a farmer mem

and SHOWS that it has justified is creation. He states that experience
has shown a few faults which he will call o the attention IF the legisla-

The bureau Of industry, agriculture and irrigation receives its death

carried out to the letter.
The s ate waterla law is considered by the governor to be unsatisfac-
