RELIEVE UNEMPLoYE ~
when planning our programs OF
prospective public work, including the
development. of public roads and the
construction of public buildings, we will
do well to consider the Suggestion of
President -elect Hoover, that this work,
where practicable be CARRIED on in such
a way as to take up the slack of oc-
casional unemployment. To obtain the
greatest good in the application OF TINS
well conceived plan it appears desirable
and necessary that soghe State agency
he authorized to undertake the collec-
tion of regular statistics upon season.

like to see this arranged Tor.
CONSERVE TIMBER LANDS
"rhe States active interest in fores-
try is young but important. Within
twenty months the Forestry Commls-
sion has organized a department that
is effectively and efficiently tunctlonlns.
It's primary need today is Tor suihcleht
funds to permit of the employment OF
a full time forester and to equip itself
to provide for forest protection, 1oresI
education and the collection OF infor-
nation relating to our forest resources.
AS one of its duties, suggest the Com
mission can perform valuable service
to the State by determining effective
and equitable means of. conserving such
important timber lands as now remain.
Il am satisfied, it would not be mis-
take to allow as liberal an increase, in
the annual amount heretofore appropri-
ated for. this Department, as would be

ITO replace the present perfunctory
system of checking weights and meas
ures, / suggest establishing bureau,
fully equipped with the latest improved
sets of standards and in charge of
technician with two or possibly three
full-time assistants The work can be
consolidated with the duties of the
State Chemist or those of the Testing
Engineer of the State Highway Depart
ment, with one or the other of these
officials as the technical director of the
bureau. If permitted, it would be a most
interesting undertaking to prove the
need of active operations in this field
of public service.

established responsible regulation of fly

of future service.
AIR CODE FOR STATE
"Our federal air code. compilation of
regulations adopted after years of prac-
tical experience, is credited with being
the equal of any in the world. However,
as such, it applies only to interstate air
service, and our State would do well to
adopt a set of air regulations closely
conforming to the federal laws.
Il am chosen to the oldest executive
post in America. Three hundred years
ago the heads of the trading compan-
les were called Governors and that title
was adopted by the chief official of
each colony. AS a successor to Peter
Minuit, the Governor of the Swedish
Company that established the first per-
manent settlement in Delaware, may I
serve with you in maintaining the tra-
ditions of the earliest American Com
monwealth mindful that our greatest
tradition is Liberty"
