YEAR 1920 WAS ONE OF
ACHIEVEMENT


Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 31.-Will-
lam NJ. Harding, retiring governor
of Iowa, today addressed the fol-
lowing greeting to the people of
Iowa through the Associated Press:
Greetings of the season and
good wishes are extended to all the
people of the state.
'"The past year has had its trials
and hardships for each individual
in some peculiar way, but viewed
in the larger aspect 1t has been a
year of achievement and success
for the state and her people.
with especial good will to my
successor in office and gratiture to
the people of the state for their
kindness to me, and confidence be-
slowed, / wish all very happy and
prosperous New Year"

years labor as executive of our
commonwealth, l extend to all peo-
pie of our great state my heart
felt New Years greetings. While
they have been years characterized
by and replete with eXacting du-
ties yet, | can say that ! am truly
thankful for being accorded an
opportunity for rendering some
service to my state, and l pass the
office to my successor with the
kindest feeling toward all. During
these four years we have passed
through a great crisis which
placed additional duties and bur-
dens on all of us. We now have
phe ',afrermJth effect from this
disturbed period reflected by de-
moralized agriculture, men with
out employment in various voca-
tons Of life, high money rates and
many other kindred disturbed econ
omic conditions. | am still optim-
istic that ave can soon solve these
perplexing problems by creating a
settled foreign policy, with a sta
bilized basis of exchange, and all
of us begin to think and act from
standpoint of greater mental re-
taxation, incident to the worlds
present disturbed affairs
81 think Senator Harding is pur-
suing wise course by first at.
tempting to feel the pulse of public
opinion on these important issues,
and l highly commend his action
in now seeking advice and counsel
from citizens who are recognized
by all as being leaders of the pres
ent day thought and action of our
natron.
Relative to our state affairs,
think our people are to be con-
graduated on the fact that our
new governor comes into office UNI
der more favorable auspices of
state fiscal affairs than any of his
predecessors. He will find all the
debts of our state paid, and an I'M
appropriated surplus of five million
dollars in our treasury. Our pub
lie schools in the year 1920 will re-
ceive- state allotment of about four
million dollars, which is an in
crease or approximately one hun
dred per cent. Our good roads
program is under full swing and
now augmented by sixty million
dollar bond issue. All our state in
are in a healthy condi-
ton, and the penitentiary has. not
only had private contracts incident
to convict labor abolished, but 1t
is now upon a business basis
whereby its deficits have been con-
verted into yearly surplus.
1.-THE best proof | know of con-
corning the merits or dement's of
state government is what it ac-
and the price paid
therefor. We deliver state gov
eminent characterized by simplici-
ty, economy and efficiency, and
the per capita tax therefore is $2,70
per year, the lowest of any state in
our nation"

the people of the United States can
look forward to a steady return to
prosperity, Governor j. P. Good
rich of Indiana, said in a New
Years greeting issued through the
Associated Press today. Governor
Goodrich's message follows:
1.-The year just closing has been
one of varying fortune for the peo-
pie of the United States. 1t opened
in the midst of an era of unprece-
denied expansion in business. Later
came the inevitable reaction and
doubt and uncertainty in the bust

look forward to steady recovery
and a prosperous year. Let US,
therefore, face the new year with
courage resolved to do our part for

ARKANSAS HAS MUCH TO
BE THANKFUL FOR, SAYS

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 31.-In q
New Years greeting addressed to
the Associated Press, Governor
Charles w. Brough of Arkansas
wrote as follows:
"As the chief executive of the
state of Arkansas, / feel that our
state, despite the severe financial
depression and the low price OF. our
national commodities, has much to
be thankful for. The activities of
the world war, to which we con-
tributed seventy-two thousand of
our heroic sons, gave us a new
vision and a new idealism.
Arkansas, a state of wondrous-
ly varied resources and q patriotic
citizenship of nearly two million
strong, has improved during the
past year along all lines of ma
terial, educational, social and NOR
al endeavor. Our road program is
perhaps the most extensive, at the
present time, of any state In the
union: ninety-seven hundred miles
of hard surface or gravel roads, for
which appropriations, aggregating
one hundred and five million dol
lars are available. We are launch
ing a new educational program
that will, and in very few years,
remove the stain of illiteracy from
the state, and will insure every
child in Arkansas easy proximity
to we'll organized schools.
"Our people have contributed
generously of their substance to all
patriotic campaigns and have just
completed a remarkably successful
campaign for the relief Of the three
million starving European child
rem during the Christmas tide. Ar
kansas joins her sister common
wealths in the hope that America
will continue to press forward to-
ward the prize Of the goal of the
high calling of her manifest des-
tiny as the Sir Galahad of America
and the Sir Launfal of the world"

NO NATION is BETTER FITTED TO
LEAD THE WORLD THAN THE U.S..
GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA SAYS
Chief Magistrate Issues New Years Greeting;
Readjustment Must Proceed on the Theory
That All Interests Should Be Justly Cared
for; Selfishness May Cause Hardship.
fBY THE ASSOCIATED PaEss,

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 81
No nation is better fitted for world
leadership than the United States
said J. b. A. Robertson. governor of
Oklahoma, In a New Years greet
ing issued today through the Asso-
clated Press. The governors vision
OF New Year Opportunity follows:
I'VE should hail the New Year
as an added opportunity for serv-
ice to God, our country and a
worldwide humanity that clamors
loudly for leadership and a SYM
pathetic understanding of it's needs.
we In the United States should
promptly avail ourselves of the
splendid chance to become, In
fact, the leaders of those great
forces which go to make up and
increase the sum total of human
happiness throughout the world.
We must either assume this lead
ership and demonstrate the supe-
riority of our form of government
or pay the penalty of lost oppor-
tunity by loss of power and pres
tige. No nation in the world is bet
ter fitted by high moral standards,
lofty patriotism. unselfish ideals
and time and opportunity to fill
this great mission of world leader
ship than the United States.
"In order to succeed in this great
task, we must not neglect our great
state and national duties. Over
production of foodstuffs should not
be penalized as it is at present by
denying to the producers a reason
able profit. The readjustment Of
the times must proceed on the
theory that all interests should be
justly cared for and the toiler and
producer must not be required TO
carry the load alone.
Selfish motives, in this recon-
struction period may cause many
years of unnecessary hardship to
our people and the nation, but if
all unite Gas I firmly believe we
willy in patriotic and fraternal
spirit, to consider, equitably all
phases of our Industrial and econo-
mic transition, great and long
continued era of prosperity will
open with the new year"
