The serious young businessman
farmer who made the governor

"alI personnel on the public pay
roll must recognize an obligation

their duties"
"There will be no tickets issued
to anyone for gravy train ride.
Honesty, efficiency, loyalty and
courtesy will be primary requisites
in public service. These must be
maintained at all levels of gov

be, in fact, sacred trust"
He repeated his pre-inaugural
pledge that 81 win not tolerate lax
law enforcement at any level. l
viii remove from public office any

This doesn't mean that all the

HE is not content to look at

'Our visitors no longer pay one
third of our state taxes without

I'VE must let our visitors know

munities, and a better state"
McCarty, who holds an agricul-
ture degree from the University
of Florida, said "our opportunities
in the field of agriculture are I'M
limited but require increased re-
search and experimental facilities.
st will be my intention to of
fer close support and cooperation

the state. We shall strive for max

favorable marketing conditions,
and fair prices for the grower.
He said conservation and the
development of our natural re-
sources are essential to agricul-
ture, tourism and industry. A
sound conservation program offers
real challenge in Florida.
To-day we find many separate
boards and agencies in existence
in this field.
1T is my sincere hope that
through reorganization and conSol-
idation more may be accomplished
in the. field of conservation and
better services rendered our citi-
ZenS at less cost"
McCarty said "The humanitari-
an responsibilities of government
have assumed new proportions
during the past two decades.
Local. state and federal gov
ernments share responsibility. In
the fields of welfare, public health,
education. highway safety. state
institutions. and mental health, we
must assume the leadership and
responsibility on a local and state
level to guarantee that legitimate
needs are met.
We cannot continue 10 grow
and tell the world about our
achievements in other fields I'M
less we solve these problems in

as a progressive state.
We must devote additional
money and effort to accomplish
this end. 1t is my intention to ap-
point a committee of outstanding
citizens to study our institutional
problems and make recommended
tons for improvements in order
that specific plans may be made
