criminal justice. The agencies for
detection and arrest must be en-
larged, strengthened and co-ordin-
ated. Penalties must be made swift
and sure and just and fitted to the
criminal. To assist in accomplish
ing these purposes recommend the
passage of the following legislation !:
/. An act proposed by the Criminal
Law Committee of the State Bar AS
ISOLATION, reforming the code OF pro-
cedure in criminal cases.
2. An act authorizing the Attor-
ney General TO appear, either IN
person or through his deputies, be-
fore and present evidence to the
grand Jury in any county in the
state, and authorizing the Attorney
General to enforce the criminal law
where the prosecuting attorney is
unable. or neglects or refuses TO en-
force such law.
3. The uniform machine gun act,
4. The uniform act to secure the
attendance of witnesses from with
out the state in criminal cases.
5. The uniform criminal eXtradl-
ton act.
6. The uniform act for the extra
dition of persons of unsound mind.
7. The uniform firearms act.
8. The uniform narcotic drug act.
9. An act increasing the number
of state police and providing for
their selection on a basis Of merit
and efficiency and their thorough
training after selection.
10. An act authorizing the making
of interstate compacts under the
terms of the Ashurst- Summers law.

Roads

After July /, 1885, when the new
Federal highway grants are avail
able it will be necessary for the
state to match the Federal grant
dollar for dollar Under the terms
of the Federal grant these funds
must be spent on Federal aio high
ways, which means unless the rev.
enues of the State Highway Com
mission are increased there will be
approximately only 100000 avail
able for the construction of state
highways, other than Federal aid
highways. Therefore, if the gaps
now existing in the state highway
system are to be improved; if the
state is to take over the main
tenance and construction of streets
in cities and towns forming the
routes of state highways; if new
roads are to be added to the system,
it will be necessary to provide more
revenue for the highway commits
sion.
In this connection I recommend
the passage Of an act providing that
only bona fide residents of the
state and, wherever possible, only
residents of the county where the
work is being done be employed on
all public works, including highway
and bridge contracts.

Economy, Welfare

In compliance with Chapter 278
of the Acts of 1888 a nonpartisan
committee on governmental econ
omy was appointed to collect and
study all pertinent data relative
to the functions and organization
of state. county, township, city and
town governments, school corpora
tons and other municipal corpora
lions and to recommend to the
public and to succeeding sessions
of the General Assembly such laws
as will insure economy, proper in
tegration of functions among the
various governmental units, etflcl-
ency in organization and proper
financial support CT such govern
mental units.
The report of this committee will
be placed before your honorable
bodies in a few days. 1t deserves
your careful and serious consldera-
ton. With some of the recon-
mendations I am not in accord, but
I recognize the fact that in the
swirl of rapidly changing standards
and economic stress responsible re-
adjustments of governmental policy
and functions are clearly indicated.
I am confident that the people of
Indiana and you as their chosen
representatives have the wisdom and
courage to consider the facts and
make the necessary changes. 1t is
needless to assure you that 1 am
willing to accept my share of the re-
sponsibility both in counsel and in
action.
One point of the report Of the
Committee on Governmental Econ
omy covers the findings and recon-
mendations of a special commission
of outstanding and nationally recog-
nized experts in the field of public
welfare. who came to Indiana at my
invitation to study our particular
problems in this field. This COM
mission had as an objective the sub
stitution of a program of prevention
of crime and dependency and of re-
Mobilization of afflicted persons for a
policy of custodial care. The major
recommendations offered we're:
/. The creation of a consolidated
department of public welfare.
2. The establishment of semi
independent central sentencing par
ole and clemency court.
8. The organization Of county
units of public welfare co-ordinated
with the state department of public
welfare.
4. The formation of an effective,
well trained and we'll disciplined
state safety organization.
5. The authorization of interstate
agreements. under the Ashurst-
Summers Act, covering police. safety,
probation and parole activities be-
yond the boundaries of the State Of
Indiana.

Budget

The current state budget is bal
anced today and will be balanced
at the end of the fiscal year.
Frugality, without false economy,
must guide your budget making for
the next biennium. A further mora
forum on necessary capital eX-
penditures is unwise. Repairs, re-
placements and extensions are i'm
perative at r. ctically all state in
stitutions. urther delay will be
costly anG will endanger the we'll
being of the states wards. Addi-
tional appropriations must be made
for a substantial increase in per-
sonnet and the proper training and
housing of the state police force as
we'll as for the maintenance and
operation of the state police radio
Provision should be made for suit
able retirement system at the states
institutions for higher education.
I urge consideration of the bud
get and passage of the appropria-
ton bill at your earliest convenience
in order that proper attention may
be given to the equally important
task of balancing the budget.

T axes

Property taxes levied for this
biennium were S85 100000 less than
for the previous biennium, de-
crease of more than 30 per cent
Property taxes paid during this
biennium were $92,000,0 900 less than
for the previous biennium, a de-
crease of over "a per cent. Prop
erty taxes levied for 1885 show an
additional decrease of almost $8,000,-
600. During this biennium addi-
tional sources of revenue produced
less than $26,000,0O0. The net re-
duction on a basis of taxes levied
has been more than $62,000,000, on
a basis of taxes paid over $66,O00,-
600.
Taxation is not a political prob
lem. 1t is an economic problem and
discussion of it should be kept on
that basis.
1t is my duty to recommend the
following action:
/. The repeal of the so-called In
dustrial License Law.
2. The extension of the Store Lii
cenSe Law to include itinerant mer-
chants and peddlers as we'll as mer-
chants with established locations.
3. The retention of the provision
for emergency tax levies in the
pres Mt Tax Limitation Law unless
and Until new revenues are found
to sup port the proper functions of
local government.
4. Postponement of sales of prop
erty for the nom payment of taxes
for one year and authorization Of
postponement for an additional yea
upon executive order.

Transportation

There is danger to our welfare in
an undersupply of transportation
and the danger is just as great
when an oversupply exists.
The chief problem is the very evil
dent demand for a program, not only
Of coordination, but also of epuali-
cation, which will eventually bring
about a situation where all types
of transportation operate on parity
and cooperate one with another
from an economic standpoint. The
most pressing part of the general
problem has to do with the regula-
ton of highway transportation. I'M
mediate remedial action is neces-
sary in order to bring system and
safety out of the present chaotic
and dangerous condition. The pow
ers of the Public Service and High
way Commissions should be in
creased, an adequate and competent
force of motor vehicle inspectors
provided, and traffic regulations
strengthened.

Education

1t is one of the paramount duties
of an enlightened government to
give adequate support to public edu-
cation.
In keeping with our established
policy of affording equality of OPP
portunity to the children of all of
the people. 1 recommend TIE enact
ment of legislation permitting the
authorities of township, town and
city schools to furnish free text
books for the pupils within their re-
spective districts.
The need of better methods for
the transportation of school child
dren is evident. Motor vehicles used
in the transportation of school chill
dren should conform to modern
safety standards and should be OPP
Grated by competent drivers. I
recommend revision of the laws
governing transportation Of school
children in accordance with these
suggestions
In a number Of instances through
out the state school children have
been transferred by agreement of
the school officials concerned for the
purpose of increasing the enroll

Finance

The remarkable success of the
operation of the Indiana Financial
institutions Act, throughout Pc
Rod beginning with the bank
moratorium of 1888 and continu-
ing to this day, has been cause for
pride.
While the amendments now pro-
posed appear voluminous they
comprehend in the main subject
matter of relative unimportance in
sofar as the structure of the FL
nancial Institutions Act is con-
cerned. In general they correct
omissions; strengthen the states
supervisors over banks and build
ing and loan associations in the
light of the development during the
last two years; clarity certain Sec
tons of the original act to give
the Department of Financial Insti-
buttons the right legally to CO.
operate to the fullest degree with
the various Federal agencies that
have entered the financial recon-
Struction phases of our countryS
life; make possible the reorganiza-
ton of certain financial institu-
tons in communities where the
need for such immediate rehabili-
tation is very great and generally
add to the effectiveness with which
the Department of Financial Insti-
buttons can continue to function.
Two phases of the proposed
amendments to the financial insti-
tutions act are of emergency char
acter and it is to those ne
cessitous situations that I de-
sire to call attention. The first
has to do with certains amend
mentS which will meet require
ments of Federal agencies overlap
ping with state control of banks
and, if speedily enacted by this
General Assembly, will permit Of the
reopening of certain financial in
StitutionS in this state to the imme-
date relief of large number of de-
positors who already have Suf-
fered unnecessarily by reason of
legal distractions which the pro-
posed amendments will remove.
The second emergency situation
involved in these amendments to
the financial institutions act has ap-
peared in connection with the eX-
tension of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministrations program into a wider
phase of the general reconstruction
plans of the President. Certain en-
abling provisions should be added
to the state law to insure complete
cooperation between the state and
national authorities.
In my judgment the relief to be
given hundreds of our citizens by
certain of these amendments war
rants emergency consideration of
the proposed amending bill by the
General Assembly.
1 am of the sincere opinion that
the 10th General Assembly should
give very serious consideration to
this suggested regulatory legislation

The following is part of the
address made to both Houses
of the Indiana General AS
sembly today by Gov. Paul v.
McNutt:
Our people live in the storm and
stress Of immense and incslcuable
events and snxiously speculate on
the possibility Of profound changes
in our political. social and economic
life. Under such circumstances I
have come 70 perform my constitu-
tiOnal duty Of giving TO you infor-
nation touching the condition of
the state and recommending such
measures as are judged 70 be ex-
pedient with the confident hope
that all of us will undertake our i'm
pOrtant tasks with clear minds and
courageous hearts and that We will
consecrate ourselves to the high
calling OF good government.

Federal Agencies

The first obligation of govern
ment is to protect the humanity
which it serves. To make certain
the complete performance of this
obligation the President of the
United States has proposed a pro-
gram which includes three great
detectives.
/. The security Os livelihood
through better use of the national
resources Of the land in which We
live.
?. The security against the major
hazards and vicissitudes of life.
3. The security of decent homes.
If our people are TO be served in
stead of starved in a land of po-
tential plenty, it is the first duty
and welcome privilege of state gov
ernnentS 10 lend every possible
support to the proposal. All units
OF government must act and work
together in order to assure success.
Specific accommodations covering
the details of necessary co-opera-
tive legislation VIII be placed be-
fore your honorable bodies immedi-
ately following action by the Presi-
dent and Congress.
Fortunately much of the pre-
iiminary work in Indiana has been
done. Studies of social welfare
needs and unemployment relief
have been made. The State Plan
ming Board, after months of in
tenSive investigation and research.
has completed a comprehensive re-
port on a state plan for Indiana.
To insure the continuation Of this
most important work. I recommend
the creation Of a permanent State
Planning Board to make studies Of
the resources Of the state, TO for
mulate plans for the intelligent and
systematic utilization and develop
ment Of these resources and to CO.
operate with the National Resources
Board ard other Federal and state
agencies.

Liquor Control

The legislation on the subject of
liquor control was enacted by the
18th General Assembly before repeal.
1t was necessarily provisional and
flexible in character. 1t brought to
the state of Indiana the benefits of
repeal and modification on the first
days. 1t required no large capital
expenditures. 1t cid no put the
state into the liquor business. 1t
was upheld by both state and Fed
eral courts.
To secure the approval of a ma
jority it may be necessary to adopt
different methods in urban and ru-
raj areas. Careful study indicates
that any system, to be effective, in
wolves state rather than local con-
troll and supervision of the manu-
facture and sale with alcoholic bev-
erages. This does not necessarily
involve an exclusive state monopoly
of retail sales for off premise con-
sumption. Control may be secured
by enforced regulation without own
ership. 1t is essential that you
proVlQe Tor a StrlcC regulation OF
hours and places of sale and forbid
the sale to minors. Licenses for
on the premise consumption should
not be granted for locations not I'M
der adequate police supervision. A
partisan board of control should
administer the act and be given
wide powers in granting and revok-
ing licenses and in issuing ard pro-
mitigating regulations. Fees imposed
should be for the purpose of social
control rather than revenue. The
policy adopted must promote respect
for the law, protect persons and
property, prevent the return Of the
open saloon and foster true temper
ance among the people Of the state
of Indiana.

In order to resolve certain ques-

The beginnings of a program of
social welfare legislation we're made
two years ago by the establishment
Of an old-sge pension system in
this state. The administration of
the system was placed in the hands
Of County Commissioners and the
state was required to pay one-half
Of the sums oisbursed by the coun-
ties. The results have not been
satisfactory. The state govern
ment has followed both the letter
and the spirit of the law with
scrupulous care. Many of the
counties have failed misersbly and
have defeated the purpose of the
system. 1t is to be hoped that a
national system Of old-age insur-
ance will provide proper solution

DUTY to strengthen the present a6
and insure adequate provision for
the aged poor.
I recommend the passage Of the
following legislation:
l. An act providing for the es-
Enlistment of state licensed ware
houses for the storage of grain on
farms and permitting the issuance
of storage certificates therefor.
2. A State Recovery Act, supple
menting the National Industrial Re-
covery Act and providing enforce
ment agencies, to remain in effect

3. An act simplifying the pro-
ceedure for the authorization and
financing by municipalities of pub
lie works projects and permitting
the sale of bonds privately TO the
Federal Government.
T. An act, with proper safeguards,
comforting additional powers upon
municipalities to undertake public
works projects and issue bonds to
finance the same and delegating
broader authority to municipal Of
ficials to make such contracts with
the Federal Government as are
deemed in the best interests of the
municipality.
5. An act creating municipal i'm
provement authorities without pow
er TO tax but with power to issue
bonds payable solely from the in
come producing Improvements.
6. An act authorizing munich
palities to engage in slum clearance,
including condemnation of neceS-
sary lands, and the construction,
opera ton and maintenance of low
cost housing, to make contributions
therefor and to enter into contracts
with the Federal Government in
connection Herewith.
7. An act providing for the crea-
ton OF non-profit public benefit
corporations or agencies to provide
for the electrification of rural COM
munities with the assistance of the
Federal Government.
8. An act validating bonds and
other obligations heretofore issued
by municipalities for public works
projects and sold to the Federal
Government.

troying the menace of organized
crime. especially in the form of row.
ing groups of criminals, are problems
of primary Importance.
To meet the present problem or
ganized society must strengthen all
of its agencies, its preventive social
agencies as well as its agencies for
the administration of criminal JUS
tee. In addition to the social legiSls-
ton to which your attention has
been invited, I urge legislative ac-
ton which will plug the loop-holes
in the criminal code ard strengthen

in a special election called by the
Governor any certificate or petition
of nomination may be fled at any
time after the election is called and
at least 10 days before the date of
such election. The short time re-
manning makes emergency action
on these commentators imper-
alive.
1t is the established policy of the
people of Indiana to protect the

this policy in mind it is our duty TO

and. as a consequence, the share
of state school funds.
This practice defeats an equitable
distribution of state funds and
should be cured by a provision that
the transfer tuition fee, charged by
the school corporation for the edu-
cation of a transferred child, whose
resident corporation maintains a

child is assigned, shall be the per
capita cost, exceptions to be made
