general assembly to repeal this
law.
There should, no doubt, be some
agency exercising governmental au-
thority, with powers and 11risdic-
ton similar to the railroad and
warehouse commission, which was
supplanted by the present public
utilities commission. This may be
necessary in cases where two or
more communities are served by
the same utility. The law should
expressly prohibit such agency
from settin gaside, modifying or in
any manner impairing any contract
heretofore or hereafter between .
public utility company and the cor
porate authorities, unless mutually
agreed to by the parties and ap-
proved on a referendum vote by the
people affected.
Transportation Laws.
Believing that the people should
have the power to create transpor-
tation districts II they SO desire. /
respectfully urge the general as
sembly promptly to enact legisla-
ton to permit citizens OF Chicago
and vicinity, or any other contigu-
Gus territory in the state, If they 50
elect, to establish transportation
districts, and to provide for peo-
pies ownership and operation OF
local transportation systems.
1.-THE people of the city Of Chi
cago have repeatedly voted in
favor of public ownership Of the
street car lines but the desire Of
the people TO ra voice in the man
agement and control Of their local
transportation has been thwarted.
Push Hard Roads.
1.-THE statewide system of hard
roads provided for under legisla-
ton passed in 1917, was approved by
the people of Illinois on q referen-
dunn vote in November, 1918. This
vote authorized the issuance OF
bonds to the amount Of So. 000, 900
for paying the cost of the system.
The validity of this act has been
upheld by the supreme court Of Fill
nois. The 46 routes proposed for
the roads are described in the law
and extended throughout the state
from boundary to boundary.
I'm my opinion. the greatest eco
nomic good that can be Accom-
plished for the country district Of
our state is to push this road sys-
tenn to completion.
"As these roads are extended
grade crossings over railroads
should be avoided as far as posi-
BILE and the general assembly
should provide for the. protection
of human life at the points where
the highways Cross the railroads.
these roads, in order to be al
ways available. At all seasons. must
be permanently maintained BY the

that the steam railroads are KEEP

that our state aid roads be subdi'

Land Reclamation.
Governor Small also advocated
the reclamation of vast areas of
rich lands along the states water
courses. which have been subject
to overflow; he favored the devel-
opment of a cooperative buying and
selling in contry districts; he ad-
vocated an amendment to our rev.
enue laws to compel rich tax dodg-
ers to file honest returns, as they
are compelled to under the federal
laws.
Redistrict State.
The redistricting of tie state into
senatorial and congressional dis
tricts on the basis of population as
shown by the 1920 federal census is
a matter requiring urgent attention,
according to Governor Small. "Such
lines should be established" he
said, with reference strictly to
the equal representation of the
people and their convenience in
choosing representatives who re-
feet their will and without regard
to partisan or fractional considera-
tions."
Governor Small said that there
should not be an underpaid school
teacher in the state of illinois. SAL
aries and school equipment should
be such that the very best and
highest types of men and women
are attracted to the profession of
teaching" he added.
In discussing the public health
problems. the governor said that
he stood for a strict enforcement
Of the laws of Illinois directed to-
ward the prevention and limiting
of physical and mental ills which
produced disease and epidemics
and underly insanity and crime.
"Illinois should train thousands of
women for q health militia" he
said, preparing them to render
first aid in their own homes and
enabling them to care for their
neighbors in times Of sickness"
State MilitA.
II heartily favor the upbuilding
Of the Illinois state militia" the
governor said, when taking up the
military question, land the nation

In discussing federal relations,
Governor Small said: 1.-The So
called covenant of the League of
Nations, advocated by President
Wilson, was submitted to q solemn
referendum and as solemnly re-
jectei by an overwhelming vote Of
the American people. Nevertheless
We hear whisperings Of a proposed

cumstances should the American

down by George Washington. by
