BAY STATE GOVERNOR
OUT FOR 4 RECORD

Boston. Jan. 1.-The Massachu-
sets Legislature will open tomorrow
for what many believe one of the most
progressive sessions in Its history.
This session marks the second term
of Governor Samuel w. Mccall, who
in another year is expected to be the
opponent OF United States Senator
John w. Weeks. Governor Mccall
hopes to get the support of the Pro-
gressive element OF the Republican
party to nominate him over Senator
Weeks In order to do this his ad-
ministration this year must show
some very progressive legislation.
The high cost of living Is one OF
the most important questions to
come up. Governor Mccall has ap-
pointed a special commission, which
has already obtained many facts In
regard to the increased cost OF coal
Reports will be made to the Legisla-
ture from time to time as the COM
mission takes up the costs OF one
necessity at a time
. Other important matters TO come
before the Legislature will be: Old
age pensions. maternity insurance
rigid building laws. more stringent
drug laws to prevent the sale and
distribution OF authorizing drugs. q
State constabulary to prevent the use
of militia as strike breakers. and the
eight-hour day for tour workers In
paper mills.

PROHIBITION BURNING
QUESTION IN INDIANA

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1.-Prohi-
bition looms as the big issue before
the Indiana General Assembly when
it convenes, January d.
The liquor question was submerged
bysboth Republican and Democratic
parties during the recent campaign.
Neither Governor Ralston nor Cover
elect Goodrich has recommended
statutory dryness. But Immediately
following the campaign great dry
day the dry leaders present a strong
lobby, with score of legislators
ready to introduce dry measures.
Politicians tremble at their array of
influence
Tax reform, the management of the
State institutions and a constitutional
convention are other big questions be-
fore the Assembly. A Governors
non partisan commission has recon-
mended radical changes in the tax
laws placing 40 greater burden on in
tangible property and lessening the
taxes on real estate. Commissions
have urged a greater provision for
the care of mental detectives and
substitutions for the contract labor
system, which will he abolished In
1919. Governor Ralston has recon-
mended. and many agencies have adj
vocated, the calling of a constitu-
tional convention for the revision of
Indiana's basic laws.
