OF law and order, saying:
There are few misguided people
who are the enemies of all order and all
organized society. We recognize the
right OF speech to be free but not bias
phemous, and the right by action to
change but not to oppose the execution
OF laws, Public display of any emblem
slgnifying hostility to the execution Of
the law is a denial of the sovereignty
OF the people and should be forbidden.
Speaking on transportation, particu-

1T Is recommended that there be at
once survey of the street railway stu
alton by experts to report the amount Of
deficiency in revenue, the amount Of

what, If any, part Of the deficiency
should be met by remission Of taxes and
public charges and by appropriations of
money coupled with public control by
the localities and the commonwealth. in

He urged that provision be made for
the proper employment of returning Of
soldiers and care for men who are in.

relief for men who have heretofore
served in the land and naval forces of
the country be extended to include those
