AN ABLE MESSAGE FROM GOV
ERNOR DAVIS.

Holding that fewer laws and
better ones are highly to be de-
sired" Governor Davis counseled the
Idaho legislature to reduce the num-
Der of new measures and devote its
time to the consideration of i'm
portant matters" With commend
able consistency the governor de-
ivered one of the briefest messages
that has been read to the Idaho legis-
lature.
Retrenchment with increased eff
ficiency is the keynote of the mes
sage. Specific ways are pointed out
for retrenchment-repe of the
two-mill state highway levy; build
ing program that will not go beyond
the bonding limit of $25O,000;
holding taxing bodies to the present
levy limits and strict economy in
state and municipal expenditures.
Idaho has set a notable example
in the coordination of departmental
duties, but Governor Davis advises
additional reform in that direction.
AS president of the Western States
Reclamation association, Governor
Davis is alert to the needs of west
ern states like Idaho, where, as he
points out in his message, 80 pei
cent of the states increase in popu-
lation between 1910 and 1920 Is
settled on its 100000 acres of ir-
rigated lands.
Idaho has blue sky law and
its governor is evidently firm be-
lever in that principle, for he pro-
poses an extension of the present
statute, with closer scrutiny OF
stock-selling companies, both local
and foreign.
Within the compass of his briei
message Governor Davis seems t.
have covered all the essential in.
aerests of his state. He discusses
its problems with forcce and dignity
and altogether delivered a message
that will appeal to the public A!
sound and constructive.-Spo
