HARDING FAVORS
SHORT SESSION
GovERNoR-ELEcT SAYS FEW
NEW LAWS ARE NEEDED.
CUT THE OVERHEAD EXPENSES
Favors Adjustment of All Unneces-
sary State Offices VIII Make
No Appointments Until He
Assumes Office.

Des Moines, Nov. 29.-"There is no
occasion nor excuse for passing lot
of laws in Iowa today. We have
about all the laws we need. And
this legislature should see to 1t that
this thing of passing 400 or 500 bills
a session is stopped this winter. In
! its place, the legislature should de-
vote the major portion OF its work
to the entire state of Iowa. 1t should
investigate thoroughly the govern
nent of our state, our counties and
our cities and cut down the overhead
expense, the cost of administration
1t should by careful study eliminate
the overlapping that now exists in
state and county government. 1t is
time to make an accounting and
clean out the dead wood"
This, briefly stated, is the policy
that Governor-elect w. L. Harding
will follow when he becomes Iowa's
chief executive in January.
1t is the policy that he will urge
upon the new assembly when his
first message is delivered upon the
floor of the senate.
Mr.. Harding SO declared in an in
teryiew at the Slavery hotel today.
He arrived in the city from Sioux
City. The principal purpose of his
visit, he said, is to find gubernato-
rial white house for the next two
years at least. His secondary pur-
pose is to confer with newly elected
state officials and republican leaders.
He was in conference with Lieuten-
ant Governor elect E. R. Moore.
Some Things to Present.
Il have some things want to pre-
sent to the new legislature that |
believe are of great Importance to
the state at this time" said Mr..
Harding.
There are many shortcomings in
governmental affairs that when cor
rected will save much money. There
is an overlapping of city and county
and state and county business that is
causing actual waste of public funds.
There are, conditions wherein the
state and county are paying persons
to do the same work. There are
instances where the system of ad-
ministering the affairs of a depart
ment is burdensome and can be made
more efficient at less expense with
little study. The trouble is we have
been creating new Offices all the time
and never have abolished any. We
just need to clean house and
straighten things up.
Il believe economy should be the
watchword of the new legislature.
The major portion of it's time should
be devoted to reduction of our over
head expense 1t should work for
the reduction of court taxes. When it
finds unnecessary offices, let it abol-
ish them.
No Political Promises.
There is little need for new laws.
We are not suffering from lack of
legislation in Iowa. Rather it is from
too much. We have about all we
need in statutes.
81 have not a single political prom
Use to care for when take the gov
ernor's chair. If there is any place
where the AK can fall and bring

Senator Page and Rural Credits.

The senatorial bureau of former Gov
ernor Fletcher this week get after Sen
ator Page for voting against the rural
credits bill which had the support of
Senator Dillingham; and other senators
from rural states. 1t is charged that
Senator Page in opposing the bill was in
effect voting for his bank at Hyde Park
rather than for the benefit of the people
The rural credits bill is designed to make
it easier for producing farmers to Dor
row money, or at least expected that il
will, and for that reason it NAV compete
somewhat with present banks which
take loans on farm real estate. Farmers
have always had a harder time in Dor
rowing money yan other business men
for the reason that the value of their
property varies so much according to To-
cation and the property is often in some
isolated spot at a distance from any
bank. The producing of crops and other
products of the earth is the most impor-
tant line of business in the country for
the reason that all potential wealth
comes in the beginning from the earth.
Moreover the future development of Yer
mont depends in great degree on what
Is done with the agricultural resources of
the state. II is the greatest opportunity
Vermont has for the future and The
Banner was greatly surprised TO note

stor Page voted against the rural credits

anv good excuse the farmers OF Vermont
