AOVERNORSHIP IK FLOWERY SPEECH at No Rapier Leap to the ~~ Sunlight, ’’ He Exclaims at Inaugural. > STAR BLOSSOMS Beam of Missouri Pioneer Por- , trayed in Polychromatic Peroration. FFERSON CITY, Jan. 13.—Gov. Ma- » In his inaugural address today, ed the brush of fancy in the pig- its of State pride, and did some word-painting as colorful as any of Sen- tor Jim Reed’s ‘“‘bosky dell’’ speeches. n the language of his home county of Pike, the Governor spread himself some. +The glory of this day,’’ he exclaimed fm describing his personal gratification, ‘kisses the bitter from all the years.” proceeded, with references to “the netic drama of State life,”’ “our

@ have now closed the political m and the battle flags are furled. | no rapier leap to the sunlight, let n@ quarrel be among us.”’ ‘his harbinger of harmony brought a geréne expression even to the face of Gov. Hadley, whose rapier has several times elashed noisily with that of the Tian who has now succeeded him in two State offices. A Proud Moment. Indeed. In the introductory portion of his ad- dregs, the new Governor said: “This is a proud moment indeed, and why should it not be so? Standing at the meridian of life, flushed with its activities, its hopes and its joys, I am honored with the highest office within the gift of the people of this great State. “In taking the office of chief execu- ‘tive, I realize the responsibilities I as- ' sume and the interests of great moment committed to my keeping. In meeting tthe duties, however, I have before me “The record made by a long line of illus- trious sons whose public service adds Tuster to the glory of the Common- Ith. nhias a plain Missourian, reared in the simplicity of country life, experienced the affairs of the State, I shall itnéestly devote every energy to the rervice of the people. In undertaking this new duty, there come to me bene- dictions and silent prayers from the firesides of 600,000 homes, that my labors anay be faithful and efficient, and that abundant success may crown my work. et am grateful, beyond measure, for 4Hé splendid support given me at the S by men of every political faith, and to have received the largest plurality ever given a candidate in the history of Missouri. . “In this happy hour I cannot forget tHe’ years that have gone before, the Gays of my youth, the struggles of my Mfe, its lights and its shadows, its suc- : and its disappojntments, but in the fnality the glory of this day kisses the bitter from al] the years. ‘“Words fail to express my apprecia- tion of the people’s confidence—such can ‘only be felt in the hearts of men. My one desire is to so serve that I may jeave an impress for good, and that my administration may be one of, at least, ‘gwnodest achievements. Few men have go builded that their achievements have ed beyond the horizon of their own or the generation in which they I do not, therefore, expect to set mark, but only to discharge my duty to all the people and to all the which go to make Missouri of the greatest of American states, “ “What History Will Say. this new edifice we begin a new Y n and @ new chapter. His- ‘ that I took the oath of office in the temporary new capitol building. May this building, simple and clean as it is,

Made by Home Rule for Cities.—"I be- lieve that the cities can be better governed by men of their own selec- tion, rather than to be governed by representatives selected by an aus thority from without the cities. * * * Home rule merely means that the cities may select for themselves their excise and police officers, just as they select their other officers, and just as all other cities in the State now have the right to do. “Extending the right to the cities to select these officials does not re- peal, amend or change, in any way, any of the criminal laws of the State, nor the authority of tne offi- cials whose duty it is now to prose- cute for the violation of such laws. “T believe in the doctrine of local self-government. The enactment of home rule legislation, however, is a subject for the Legislature alone [ shall not attempt to hamper tts leg- islation by advocating any specific kind of héme rule. I can only say that whatever reasonable lezislation meets with the approval of the Leg- islature upon the subject will meet with my approval.” Changes in Election Laws.— Primary !aw for the cities, giving voters all privileges accorded coun- try voters under the State primary law. This new law should have an emergency clause, making it applica- ble to spring elections. It siould comprehend presidential elections. And the State Legislature should ratify the constitutional amendrnent providing for popular election of United States Senators. Create a Tax Commission.— “I am not seeking any’ subjects upon which the police power of the State can lay its hand by imposing a license fee or property tax. The last Legislature, however, cnacted a wholesome law increasing the pres- ent tax rate of 1% per cent, paid by the express companies and which was vetoed by the Governor. I would suggest toat this Legislature re- enact such a law, increasing the tax rate to be paid by the express com- panies to such an amount as it thinks reasonable, to the end. that the express companies may bear their just proportion of the surdens of taxation. I would further sug- gest that the revenue laws be so re- vised and amended as to secure the assessment of millions of dollars of rersonal property now escaving tax- ation. This Legislature should create a Tax Commission to study the questions of taxation and report its labors to the next Legislature, to the end we may revise and improve our revenue system.”’ Public Service Commission.— I recommend the passage of an ef- ficient public service commission law, with adequate powers given the com- mission to fix and regulate freight and passenger rates, express rates, telegraph and telephone rates, the charges of electric light, gas, water

Summary of Recommendations

and power companies and all other public service corporations doing business in the State. The commis- sion should also be given authority. to supervise the issuance of stocks, bonds and other evidences of indebt- edness, and also be given the further Governor Major power and authority to ascertain the value of the physical properties of the public utilities coming within the provisions of this act. Rural High Schools. More Teachers.—To stop the tendency of the countryman to move, with his family, to the city to give his children a comprete education, “establish rural high schools, and you will place these advantages at his door.” Also, “teachers should have better wages.”’ For Improved Roads.—Create a State Highway Department and a County Highway Department, co- operating and working in harmony through a complete system for su- pervising and building public roads. The Legislature should also provide for use of the convicts upon road work. Te Further Immigration.—En- act a law providing for the appoint- ment of an Immigration Commission- er, with an Assistant Commissioner. to advertise our -resources and ad- vantages to the world. Swamp and Overflowed Lands.— Enact a law creating a special Land Reclamation Department, to con- tinue the work of the Labor Bureau and John H. Nolen, as special agent of the’ State, Im the reclan.ation of Missouri's 4,000,000 acres of swamp and overflowed lands. A State Medical Supervisor.— Create the office of State Medical Supervisor, to be filled by a highly paid specialist on insanity, whose duty it will be to.visit: each of the State hospitals for the insane once a month. Workingmen’s Compensation Law.—A reasonable, simple and definite workingmen’s compensa- tion law. Simplify Court Procedure — Legislation to bring about earlier termination of litigation, by the elim- * ination of unnecessary technicalities, and providing against delay through minor errors and imperfections in the pleadings. : State Board of Pardons.—Cre- ate a State Board of Pardons, ion- sisting of three members, whose duty it shall be to consider the applica- tions for executive clemency and make recommendations to the Gov- ernor in reference thereto, and to, on their own account, grant paroles. Punish Individual Trust Of- fenders.—Amend anti-trust laws so as to reach and criminally pun- ish individuals who, from wirshout the State, manage and control the affairs of corporations here in vio- lation of the anti-trust law. Law Enforcement.—To enable the Governor to enforce the law, and to provide for removal from office of officials who willfully fail or neglect to enforce the laws, the act of 1907 should be so dmended as to make the necessary removal procedure sim- ple, plain and effective. Proposed New State Offices.— State and County Highway depart- ments, Land Reclamation Depart- ment, Tax Commission, Public Serv- ice Commission, State Medieal Su- pervisor,, State Board of . Pardons, Chaplain at Boonville Reform Schoul,

Immigration Commission.

panoplies of war. That the victories of peace are most lasting and greater far than the brilliant pageantry of martial splendor. That the hum of commercial energy is sweeter than the rattle of arms and the products of industry more beautiful than the glint of sunlight upon bannered thousands. “We have now closed the pettihont

forum and the battle flags are folded. Let no rapier leap. to the sunlight, let no quarrel be among us, but rather let us labor to advance our State along ev- ery line that we may achieve the high- est purposes conceived by a great citi- zenship. “Today, three and one-half millions of people are building a new and

greater Missouri, and while they labor in the business marts and the forum, let us do well our part. You are the rep- resentatives of the people, freshly chosen from the fields of bus‘ness ac- tivities. You see around you the crys- tallization of a progressive and con- structive spirit which is destined to give us a greater State tomorrow. You jmust be imbued with the spirit of the iInew day,.and meet the new ccnditions jin the new era. j Missouri promulgated certain principles in its platform. The Democracy of That platform was a pledge to the people, and as you make good your personal obligatigns as men, you should Keep the faith and crystal- lize its principles into proper legisla- tion, because so to do will be to elevate and to fructify.’’ Turns to the Concrete. Here the new Governor began his yractical recommendations for legisla- tion, and outlined the details of his administrative policy. The recommen- dation are given elsewhere. The Governor's closing paragraphs, with the caption placed over them in his manuscript were: Here the new Governor gave his practical recommendations for legisla- tion, and outlined the details of his administrative policy. ‘The recommen- dations are given elsewhert. The Governor's closing parag sraphs, with the caption placed over them in his manuscript were: in Conclusion. ‘While Missouri has ever ranked with the first states of the republic, her star is still in its ascendancy ‘and has jo; yet reached the meridian height nor the zenith of its glory, and the State is today the fairest blossom plucked from the Louisiana Purchase. “She has stocd in the forefront :n every line of progress and her lance has ever pointed to the field of battle. When Jackson and Pakenham were struggling at New Orleans, the covered wagons drawn by oxen were bringing to the territory of Missouri the noble men and women whose splendid lives, fortitude and heroism builded here a State un- equaled in the girdle of the globe. “The Missourian has been the soldier of fortune and the messanger of our western civilization. He led the way to the Golden Gate and the land of the Montezumas. His ax was heard in the forest, the crack of his rifle upon the mountain side, and his plowshare glist- ened in the valley. He “ought the bat- tles of our western warfare, and when the conquest was ended, belped set in the azure field the galaxy Which em- blematizes the sisterhood of states. “With his face to the future, he dreamed of the great states and the mighty people which would soon rise from the wilderness of centuries. Look- ing to the coming years. he saw steeple- tops busy with the summer’s twilight; he saw shadowy meadows fragrant with the perfume of roses and clover blooms: he saw golden grain ripening in val- leys more fertile than those of the Nile: he heard the tread of the teeming mil- lions that would feed upon its boson: he heard the rich, mellow tones of church bells, the laughter of fair wom- en and the prattle of happy children. It was a beautiful vision—a phantom picture—a dream in fancy born—yet the Missourian knew within his soul he could touch the picture and it would spring into life. He therefore turned his back upon the pleasure of civiliza- tion, upon the scenes of his childhood and the mother who bore him, and went forth to brave the dangers of a broader, deeper and darker wilderness that you and I-.might enjoy the full fruition of its possibilities. Firm in the faith, he Olazed the path and led the way to the splendid achievements of the twentieth century, all his dreams. ‘“‘As the descendants of this great peo- ple, let us keep in the first rank in the forward march. and contintie first in the field of progressive action. “The executive door is now open to every man, both rich and poor. No man will be heard because he 3s rich, and no man will go unheard becat:ise he is poor. As the representative of all the people, my heart is in the service, and that for the accomplishment of progressive things. “There will come times, no doubt, when I must labor under heavy stress, when I must choose between friends, when I must choose between that which I think is good and that which I think MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS COAL CO., Jaccard Bidz., Main 4384, Cent. 298.
