Governor Baxter's Message to
the Legislature

Governor Bakers address to the
joint session of the Legislature,
Wednesday. was attentively listened
to and will be read with great inter-
est. It is comprehensive and clear
and should contribute to cooperation
between the executive and legislative
branches of the State government.
The Governors comment on the
tragic conditions under which he has
been brought to the burden of ex-
ecutive responsibilities was sympa-
thetic and considerable, graceful
recognition that: Providence does
not make known to us it's laws, but
all are forced to bow to it's DEGREES"
With regard to the financial condi-
ton of the State, he urged that it is
now the States duty to enter upon a.
period of reasonable retrenchment
and it should live within its income.
He explained at some length the con-
tingent fund and the conditions I'M
der which 1t had been used, referring
to the difficult problems that had
arisen because of rising prices. Dur
ing the years 1880 the Governor
and Council had expended $751;
927.S2 from the State fund and $780,
s59.11 from monies in the treasury
not otherwise expended. He pointed
out how it had happened that this
fund was available and that without
it the special sessions would have
been called on TO make special ap-
preparations to provide for the States
expenditures. The future of this ar
rangement rests with the Legisla-
ture.
The Governor approved the work of
the Budget Committee but called at
tention to the fact that if certain i'm
portant matters before the Legisla-
ture became laws it would become
necessary to revise this work. He
emphasized the importance of high
way legislation, Maine having more
than third as many miles of road to
maintain as all the rest of New Eng
land.
One of the features of the address
was his recommendation that the
Legislature in view Of the changed
conditions reconsider the appropria-
ton of $33,500 for the Blaine House.
That whatever is finally appropriated
by the State for the maintenance of
this house shall be understood by
ALL" With this suggestion was one
favoring an appropriation of $4,000 a
year for two years to the widow of
Governor Parkhurst. We think these
suggestions will have general ap-
prevail.
In line with his previous attitude
he urges the State to establish water
storage reservoirs and basins and
that a constitutional amendment be
passed to permit this, also that the
Water Power Commission be con-
tinued until that may be done. He
recommends the establishment of the
Mt. katahdin Park, believing it
would prove to be good investment
as well as a great inheritance for
succeeding generations.
With regard to the great problems
affecting our transportation he urged
the railroads to bring their facts
frankly before the Legislature in the
assurance that they would receive
consideration. He concluded his adj
mirable address with his pledge that
the affairs of the State should be
an open book to her citizens, as
surfing them the chief executive will
render all assistance in his power to
that end.

"sone Speed"

The days work done I started home;
The Streets were an icy glare.
I was told the trolleys could not run
There was nothing left but 'Shanks

Der the mounds of frozen slush
But ! knew the walk would give me,
Healthy appetite for mush.
AS with hunched up head and Shout

Came chuckle from above me,
Making chills, my back descend.
Wondering if some ill timed joker
Found amusement at my plight.

Wondered IL the fool would fight.

With painted sign tackled to 1t,

Wreathed about with merry smiles
These the words it shouted at me:

When John R. Statler died last June he did not know that his wish for an heir to the Statler estate was to be gratified
 He did not know that little third cousin was to arrive in Phoenix in Au- gust who would some day own the 300 acres in Madison county, Ohio, and live in the Statler farm house with it's wealth of antique furnishings. He only knew that out in Arizona he had a distant relative, H. L. Statler and his pride in family led him to bequeath the homestead to this cousin because of his desire to continue the farm in the S;tatler name.
 In the will he made provision that if the Arizona man died leaving no son the property was to pass to the oldest son of brother, and if he had no heir
Arizona republican., 1921-03-06

it was to go to the nearest male heir of the name of Statler.
 When John R. Statler died he was 70 years old and the entire TO years had been spent on the farm where his father lived before him.
 The Arizona heirs will not return to Ohio at once to take over the property because first of all they are parents. They want the little lad who is to come in for it all to be physically fit. and they believe that the Salt River valley is the one place in the world to bring up a kiddie.
 The Statlers were married six years before their son and only child was born. They have made their home here for some time, MT. Statler being the proprietor of an hotel on South Central avenue.
