ditional expenditure State regulation
and control Of public utility corpora
tions; the growth of the State and the
just claims of afflicted humanity are
challenging the capacity of State in
stitutions; progress demands a more
efficient system of country schools
than can be had at the present aver
age daily cost OF nine cents pupil;
progress demandsa a type of education
more suited to the needs of our varied
industries, better calculated to in
crease the prosperity of the States
producing factors and the happiness
of the people; undeveloped resources
of the State necessitate the extention
of a more cordial invitation to outside
capital; and enterprise is demanding
in no uncertain tones better system
of State wide road improvement.
Economy demands that smooth
surface hard road shall lead to every
farm. State-aid road laws that l
drafted, the annual registration of
corporations and motor vehicles, have
produced 81, lac, 10000 of the 81, $780,
10000 that has financed State aid pol
icy. AS a stimulating agent this fund
has caused the investment from coun-
ty and local sources of more than fif-
teen million dollars. The result is
highly gratifying, but to hold out the
inducement that universal system
of good roads will ever come except
at the expense chiefly of the commun-
tiles where the roads are located is
objectionable deception.
The State has many difficult prob.
lens to solve; problems that would
become expensive, complicated and
annoying under supervision of the
ambitious out inexperienced; prob
lems tnatrequire technical knowledge,
knowledge that can be gained only
from years of public service and ex-
perience, and the most assiduous study
and devotion.
Safeguarding of expenditure, skill
full conserving of resources, eliminat-
ing inequalities of taxation, and such
other matters as those suggested, call
for thorough training in statecraft,
intimate and comprehensive knowl-
edge OF State affairs and needs, ma
ture and dependable Judgment, famil-
iarity with administrative law, and
proven business capacity. / am coz
| fident that democratic voters recoe
nize the special preparedness that ]
can place at the service of the State
and will honor me as their choice,
