best in the world. 1t has been able
to give the assistance required in many

The Governor Outlines Work For

dL 94U,UOO,OOU lOT the ucAI CWO years,
because that was one of the out
standing planks of my campaign. The
time has come for change in system
of making appropriations. Under
the old system the legislature grant
ed most of the demands of the various
departments and activities, as repre-
senting their actual needs, and then
totalled it all up at end of the session.
There is no valid reason why the state
should not do as the sensible individual
does-knowing his income, he deter
mines his expenditures accordingly.
This, in short, is the budget system.
GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOS-
ITS-Not opposed to the idea, but in
sists that proponents must find sound
and practical way of financing the
necessary guaranty fund-not yet
and accomplished in any state that
has tried it. Recommends minimum
capital of $4,000 for state banks and
legislation to permit banks to build
up their surplus as secondary re-
serve to absorb losses. Suggests they
aided in this by lessening
the tax burden on capital and in other
ways. Also recommends law pro-
hibiting stockholders from hypothe-
eating their stock. Too many raised
