men who sit and talk all day OF n
good old times when II was posSlpIe

has really taken IN the appearance
of a country station house, where me

about once a month. The local ponce

to see a prisoner brought before the

therefore, the state will have to make

that the license fees for automobiles
can be increased so as to provide ad-

tire these bonds.

cannot rashly jump to the conclu-
sion hat in the early years OF opera

What are we to do about 1t? Shall
we at a time when the people are
already overburdened with cost or
government load upon their backs an
additional heavy burden? If the state
had made proper provision during
past administrations for the state IN
stitutions and II the people had been
made acquainted with the facts con-
corning the lack of sufficient moneys
for tho hiQhy va Ipe on6Tq donI1atn nr0Vi-
sion had been made for the actual
cost thereof, we would not now be
confronted with the problem of deal
ing with the three emergencies. 1t
is my view that in this particular sit
uation 1t Is time to put on the brakes
and go slowly. The present burdens
of the people are such hat in my
judgment If they asked to provide
for all three there Is no chance OF any
of them being acted upon favorably.
My thought as to the priority or
preference of the projects in their
claims upon the pocketbooks of the
taxpayers Is as follows:
l. The Interstate bridge and tun
mel must be set under way at once.

1920 election.
2. The request of the Department
of Institutions and Agencies certain
ly appeals to our sympathies. The
states u~nfortunates should nave every
care and comfort which can be given.
But I cannot be expected to recon-
mend the pledging of the state to an
obligation of $4,000 900 until I have
had full opportunity to investigate the
matter. The report of the Depart
ment of Institutions and Agencies
came to me about two weeks ago.
Many matters press upon me for my
attention. Between now and the adj
journment of the legislature I shall
give the request earnest considera-
ton. I suggest that the %appropria-
lions committees commence at once
to study the report. They are famil-

emily with the money in hand and to

mapped out a complete program for

possess merit-however. those who
advocate It should be made acquaint-

passed for the benefit OF the utility

for the personal property tax on their
gross receipts. It Is my understand

GOVERNOR IN MESSAGE
FOR CHANGE IN ROAD POLICY
(Continued from page -

In my Inaugural message 1t wan
stated that further communications
would be sent you upon various top

taxation and the development and
completion of the state highway sys-
tenn. The subjects are related to each
other and can be conveniently dealt
with In one message.
State Highway System.
In 1917 the Edge act" was passed.
II outlined fifteen definite main routes
and provided hat under certain re-
strictions such routes should be con-
structed with permanent pavement.
A companion bill ("Edge road tax
act"l was also passed providing for
a tax Of n mill on each dollar Of
Q and personal property IN the
state.
1t was contemplated hat the sum
thereby provided to be raised would
aggregate substantially SIS. 900, 1000.
its collection being spread over a pc
Rod OF five years. 1t was further
contemplated that such sum-, together
with such federal aid as might be re-
celved, amounting to approximately
complete the highway system called
for by the Edge act" SO far as !
am informed, the following facts have
never been definitely brought to the
attention Of yourselves or n pre-
vious legislature.
Immediately after the passage OF
the Edge act" Of 1911 the highway
department made a preliminary sur
Vey OF the fifteen routes and prepar-
cd an estimate of the cost of con-
structing such routes, eliminating
grade crossings n such matters
as are necessarily involved in the con-
struction of a modern highway sys.

the then prevailing comparatively

500 divided as follows:

In passing, 1t might be said that
at the time Of making such estimate
there were seventy miles of county
highways and roads so constructed 1t
WIS believed, they would comply with
the law. and the cost Of rebuilding
such roads was not included in the
estimate. Since the making of the
estimate thirty-flve miles OF such
county highways have deteriorated to
such an extent that they must be re-
constructed under the present pro
gram OF the State Highway Depart

/ don't wish to make m undue
structures on the policy of the high
way department or the past admins
tration In dealing with this subject
matter, but 1t does seem to me that
both the Legislature n the people
have been allowed to remain woefully
ignorant Of the real facts.
1t was known IN 1917 that $88,-
900 900 would be required to COM
plete the highway program, and that
the sum called for by the Edge road
tax act" would not complete even
half of the system. 1t Is my belief
