 Col. McRae gave much attention to

Instead of Ne Board of Controll, he advocated In honorary board to manage the ktate charitable institutions.

as the assessed value of all the lands of the state.
 The peoplc have been so shocked and insensed at the unbusinessiike project as whole, and at many unjust de- tails, that the cause of good roads has been set back, rather than ad- vanced.
 Contracts have already been let for 4,000 or more miles of roads, to cost more than $50,0O0,OOO. This alone is sum greater than proposed for roads for the same period in the em- pire state of New York.
 "I suggest to all commissioners who have not yet let contracts to not do so until money and labor conditions and cost of materials, become more favorable. Nor should a road be pushed where majority of the citi~ zcns are opposed to it.
 Nobody can afford to stand for repudiation, but we must go slow in pushing new burdens upon the peo- pie. As governor would veto any bill for a levy of taxes or for the creation of a debt for roads or other Improvements, unless shown that the people had petitioned for same, or is referable to them.
 But realize the folly of relying solely on the power of the veto in combating the local or special bill evil. More than one governor in the past has found that local bill can be passed very quickly over his veto. Therefore, the people must be on the alert to stop the crimes of the local bill. l believe that amendment No. 13 now before the people, to be voted on next November, will do more to curb the local legislative evil than any governor with his power of veto can do, and hope it may be passed"
 Mir. McRae declares for collective bargaining" rights, both as to labor and agriculture. Regarding the rights of agriculture he says:
 "The. crying need of the future ,s increased production in every line of legitimate industry. Farm life must be made more attractive. l desire to raise my voice in behalf of the rights of the humble tenant farmer. His lot must be made easier. Thirty-five per cent of the farmers of the south move each year. The causes of this should be removed, and the btate can do much to relieve the situation. !"
