Governor Boyle Reads His Message
Carson City, Jan. 16.-Before a
joint session of the Senate and AS
sembly, held in the Assembly cham
Der to-day. Governor Boyle read his
message to the Legislature. He paid
considerable attention to good roads
legislation and recommended that
the Legislature agree on laws ade-
quately to take care of needed road
construction in all parts of the State.
In dealing with this question the
Governor presented facts and figures
to support his views of the method
that should be adopted in handling
highway construction.
He recommended the passage of
an Act reviving the Tax Commission
which, he pointed out, will expire by
statutory limitation in a few months
unless the Legislature passes an Act
re-creating it.
The short ballot system was favored
by the Governor. He also urged the
creation of a State auditor and pur-
chasing agent.
In touching on what he called so
cial measures the Governor express
es the opinion that the most satisfac'
tory way of disposing of problems Of
that class is by the initiative Act such
as the prohibition measure.
The Governors complete message
consists of some 1000 words.
