THREE GOVERNORS
OF new ENGLAND
ARE |NAUCURATED
Governor Mccall, of Bay
State, Urges System of
Health Insurance.

Boston, JAN 4-Gov. Samuel Mccall
devoted a large part of his inaugural
address to the Legislature today to a
consideration of the social insurance.
He said that he was ''strOngly of the
opinion that there is no form Of social
insurance that is more humane, sound
er in principle, and that would confer
a greater benefit upon large groups OF
our population and upon the comm on
wealth as a whole than health insur-
ance."
He recommended the establishment
Of a compulsory system, with a rea-
sonable benefit during the period OF
illness. AS a method Of old age pen
sion the governor expressed the opin-
ion that an annuity should be paid by
the state and municipalities without
contribution, to- deserving citizens 70
Or more years Of age, who do not
have. children able to support them
nor an income Of more than 5000 a
year.
Governor Mccall recommended that
the state comply with the provisions
Of the federal highway law il the pro-
posed contribution to the state for the
road building could be obtained with
out giving the federal government the
Of the expenditure of the
appropriation Of the state for it's
roads.
He favored the building upon the
state house grounds of a residence for
the governor which would be a sub
stantial reproduction of the historic
house Of John Hancock, the Revolu
tionary patriot, which formerly occu-
pied this site. He urged action with
regard to the proposed celebration Of
the three hundredth anniversary of
the landing of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth, which would insure it's observ-
ance "on scale of grandeur suitable
to the event. * s. III
The governor recommended the ex-
tension of military training and the
study Of military history in the pub
lie schools and resignation OF volun-
tary military training associations
abolition of capital punishment; extern
sion Of civil service laws and legisla-
ton to prevent the use of habit form
ing drugs. =a.

Names Governor
Seeks Power to
Dust All Sheriffs

Augusta, Me, Jan. As a means
toward better enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law, Governor Carl E. Mill
ken in his inaugural address to the
legislature today recommended the
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment giving the governor power to re-
move a sheriff for cause after notice
and hearing and the enactment of a
statute comforting the same power in
the case of county attorneys.
at is essential said the governor,
"that the lawbreakers> should recog-
nize positively both the power and
the determination of some competent
authority to punish them. It issneces-
sary also that every official charged
with the enforcement of the law
should know that regardless of sup
posed local sentiment, his failure to
do his duty faithfully will bring
prompt and certain punishment, in
GLIDING dismissal from public, Office.
The present method Of dealing with
this situation is tedious, bungling and
expensive. :
I'm certain parts Of Maine there
are those who. for pecuniary gains
have persistently and Systematically
sought to violate the, prohibitory law
and the laws against gambling and
kindred vices. The real hackers and
promoters Of the liquor traffic in
Maine,f those affiuent and ostensible
outlaws both inside and outside our
sta e WHO organize the systematic
defiance Oh our laws in the interest of
their own selfish greed. deserve 10th
ing but the contempt of all decent
citizens.
4 1.-THE dominant party in Maine is
definitely committed to state and ma
tionaI prohibition and to the honest
enforcement of the prohibitory law.
No more effective weapon can be fur
nished any official than an intelligent
and patriotic public opinion, alive
to the urgent need of unfolding the
majesty of the law. earnestly urge
upon all good citizens their RESPONSE
bility for giving such active support
to all faithful officers
The, governor said that he felt that
the submission to the voters Of a
constitutional amendment for equal
suffrage should not longer be, delayed.
