handicapped by its lack of navigable
rivers and by the ruggadness of its
surface which made railroading diff

air transportation is concerned.

In conclusion of this intr ductory por-

In conclusion of this Introductory per-
ards each member of the assembly.
While | am fully cognizant that | am
a new member of the great political
family of the state, and undoubtedly
transient in office, there has been
no incident in the whole years eX-
perience that has produced i'll feeling
towards a single member of the family.
On the contrary, the result has been
a heart interest in the work and the
workers, and while functions of the
executive and legislative branches OF
the government are distinct there
is need, and at the same time the
strongest purpose and desire on my
part, to create and maintain the finest
spirit of fellowship and cooperation.

Governor Haftntss urged the adop-
ton Of business methods in carrying
on the adm nistratlve work of the
state. In expanding state funds" he
said we must keep ever in mind the
actual burden which always rests up
I On the people to raise this money. We
must know how hard it is for our peo-
pie TO pay the tax levied that every
dollar wasted is taken from the peo-
pie who would have otherwise spent II
fer family needs"
In this connection he urged con.
tinuity in Office of those who are fit
ted. His attitude toward appointments
is shown by his statement that there
is no better way to insure good serv'
ice for the whole state than by placing
in Office only those specially fitted by
experience for the work at hand"
80 and after having obtained
men Of best qualifications, based on
natural ability. training and expert
ence, the next thing to do is to retain
them in office. He did not believe
that the administrative business of the
state should be permitted to be ad-
yersely affected by the "vicssitudes
OF political disturbance"
In this connection he said that
heads of departments must be in
thorough touch with the actual work
and he expressed himself as opposed

ion that "the enactment of a measure
of this kind would undoubtedly spur
all manufacturers to use the most
healthful methods and means, and
this will bring great Improvement in
the working conditions in Vermont
The governor said that he recog-
nized agr.cu tire. f5-c-;-y and the
live stock interests of the state as
comprising great industrial group,
and declared that he would urge the
adoption Of the agricultural and other
planks in the personal platform on
which he made his canvass for the
nomination to the office to which he
was elected.
AS to industrial expansion in Yer
mont. Governor Hardness said that
while the state had done much along
certain lines, much more can be done
by awakening the state to its oppor
tun ties He declared Vermont to be
most fayorably located geographically
for industrial purposes, but. he said,
the condition OF public opinion must
be changed" and people must have
faith in Vermont. For our state" he
said, 1--WE must build up faith in our
capabilities to win success in this
world of science and industry This
is necessary 10 enlist genuine inter
est in the active work Of rounding out
our states development"
Admitting that the full significance
of his plan may not be understood he
bespoke the confidence and co-opera-
ton" of the assembly in his effort at
industrial development. Publicity
is necessary" he declared The gen
eral principles of industrial develop
ment Of the individual and group
must reach the workers, the boys and
girls in schools, the men and women
in all Vermont This can be attained
by pamphlet publications Of the state, ,
One striking paragraph reads,
THE essential work before this gen
eral assembly is to consider ways and
means OF intoxicating the fullest know
ledge of the best plans Of industrial
life so that everyone affected by such
actiy ty can knew how to estimate an
industry's prospects and how to con-
duct their own course in them"
Governor HARNESS refers to the
school situation as follows: "In view
of the special interest that may now
be conferred on the bulwark of cur
homes-the school SYSTEM com
mend and urge careful reading Of
the boards report giving the story Of
the working of the present law and
the proposed climax of its endeavors
for the boys and girls of Vermont"
AT the close of the spoken part Of
his message Governor Hardness said
he felt It his duty TO impress on this
body the seriousness Of our present
depression on. business" suggesting
that it might become necessary to
take some definite action to meet the
exigencies, Here he renewed his
warning against unwise expenditures,
saying, Let us guard we'll our re.
sources and let us be free from the
charge Of spending one single dollar
needlessly or OF forgetting for one
moment that each dollar has been
taken from cur homes directly or in
directly"
