Of MISSISSIPPI
IS |NAUGURATED
Lee Russell, New Executive,
Makes Many Recommends
tionS-Favors Market b.
reau and Budget System.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 20. (Spl) THE
inaugural address of Gov. Lee M. RUS
sell, who took the oath Of office at the
noon hour today. Is a plain. business
like document, and closely follows the
recommendations for new legislation,
statutory changes and governmental
policies set forth In the final message
of his predecessor, Gov. Theodore a.
Bilbo.
This was not unexpected. In view Of
the fact that the incoming and outgoing
executives are close personal ana point
zeal friends, and Gov. Russell has just
completed a four-year term as lieu
tenant governor OF the state.
The inaugural address was paper
Of considerable length, containing near
ly Is. 900 words, and required more than
an hour for its delivery. Among the
recommendations made by the new gov
ernor are:
Creation of bureau of markets and
publicity, either as branch Of the A.
and NJ college work. or as an indepen-
dent organization, to cooperate with
county agricultural agents in finding
markets for farm products and exploit
ing the resources of the state.
Adoption Of the budget system for
handling the states finances.
Establishment OF a board or UNIFORM
legislation, similar TO that In the state
of Wisconsin, consisting OF not exceed
ing three first class lawyers, to meet
three months prior to each legislative
session. and to whom all measures shall
be referred before being submitted to
the legisla lure.
Formation Of department Of labor,
with powers similar to the federal de-
partment of the same name, to which
should be added the duties OF factory
inspection. -.
Employment OF purchasing agent
by the state, whose duty 1t shall be to
buy supplies for all state institutions.
The governor believes this would save
MANY thousands OF dollars each year.
Adoption OF policy OF reforesta ton
for the cut-over pine land districts.
Establishment OF at least four new
state charity hospitals. one in the delta,
one in North Mississippi, one in East
Mississippi and one in South Central
Mississippi and enlargement OF hospi-
tails now supported by the state. The
governor says that the state charity
hospltal in Jackson should have been
built in the beginning at least i've
times its present size.
increase Of salaries OF state officials
proportionate with the Increased COST
Of living.
cejnts act similar to statute on this sub
tect in 40 other states OF the Union
Better pay for teachers, better school
buildings, and more liberal appropria-
ton for the common schools.

ONLY HIGH-CLASS
HIGHWAYS SHOULD
Be CONSTRUCTED
Head of C. Of C. Highway De-
partment Warns Against
"Makeshift" ROads--PeOpIe
Must Wait for Material.

Restraining the people Of the lower
Mississippi valley from constructing
"makeshift' roads in their easerness
TO effect improvement Of their high
ways even when they cannot get sui
ficient material to build the right kind
Of roads, will be one OF the largest
problems of the leaders Of good roads
activities this year, according to Thos.
B, King, manager Of the highway de-
partmnt Of the Chamber OF Commerce.
The people OF this section are so
strongly committed to the idea Of good
roads and so eager to have them with
out delay, that there is danger they
may 60 ahead regardless Of the search
ty of road building material and build
the best roads they can under the cir
cumstances," said MIR. King This
would be most undesirable and do in
eStimable hurt to the cause OF i'm
proved highways in this territory. The
labor for the copstrdction OF one Of
these makeshift roads will cost just
about as much as 1t would for the
building Of first-class road, and when
these roads wear out In a little time
and the people see that their money
has been wasted, there is going to be
reaction of sentiment against good
roads projects 1t is better than no
improvements be made than that half
way improvements be installed. 1t Is
best to wait in building a road until
the job can be done right. Any other
policy simply means waste"
Car Situation Serious.
The shortage OF railroad cars for the
hauling of gravel and other materials
from the sources of the materials to
the road building operations is respon-
sible for this problem, Mr.. King ex-
planned. Unless the private owners
OF the railroads improve upon the pol
icy of the railroad administration when
they receive back their properties" he
continued, "the cars available for the
hauling Of road materials will be as
few during this year as during 1919,
when road building operations in this
territory were all but halted by the
lack OF cars. II would not undertake
to say that the railroads have been
purposefully conspirlng to stall the good
roads movement because OF the COM
petition improved highways offer to
railways. For they have been under
government control and surely the gov
eminent would not countenance such a
practice. But the indifference with
which demands for cars for moving
road materials have been treated would

and taking pardoning power out Of the
hands OF the governor by constitutional
amendment.
Building OF state armory and ade-
auate appropriation for the national
guard.
Enactment Of laws to prevent profit
teering The governor says II may be
going bit too far to compel dealers
to mark the cost price in plain figures
on all articles offered for sale, but II
may come to this. He suggests that
wholesalers be required to file sworn
statements in each municipality Of the
wholesale prices at which they sell goods
to retailers.
Ratification Of the federal amendment
comforting suffrage on women. The
governor discussed this subject at some
length, declaring that the question OF
state rights Is not involved, and that
there are no snakes in the amend
ment."
Retention Of the state tax commission
and adoption Of amendments that will
put more teeth" in the law. including
a statute giving the commission right
Of inspection OF all books, property, etc,
OF the taxpayer.
Meeting OF all current expenses
through the ad valorem tax levy. The
governor takes an optimistic view OF
