LOWER TAX RATE IS AIM OF FIRST WOMAN GOVERNOR Nfe ' •' 4 Mrs, Ross Advocates Wider Publicity to Stop Ex- \ travagance, Bu United Press CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan 16.—1n a manner completely devoid of feminine touches. Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, the first woman Governor to take office In the United States, Thursday delivered her message to the Legislature. Men legislators, who would have 1?' a few years ago at the very Idea of having a woman Governor, listened attentively to her exposition of the needs of the State, the I necessity for a “strictly business’’ policy and an equitable distribution of taxes. . Her platform followed closely the policies laid down by her late husband when he was Wyoming’s chief executive. “Waste Must Stop" "Waste and extravagance,” she said, “must be stopped in the counties, in school districts and in the cities, if the overburdened taxpayer is to find relief. I, therefore, recommend the adoption of a law that will make a budget and its publicity obligatory upon every county, school board and city council before any tax levy be made. “Publicity discourages prodigality. Some such legislation must be enacted to assist these local bodies In a program of economy, and once initiated It will have an Immediate beneficial effect in a real reduction of the total taxes.” Big Business Big Business, Governor Ross declared, must bear Its fyll share of tax burden while she holds office. The men higher up quite obviously had failed to carry their share of the load in the past, she told the Legislature. She strongly advocated the passage of a law making it as great a crime to purchase illicit liquor as It is to sell ft, and urged ratification cf the child labor amendment.

LETTER FROM MARY ALDEN, PRESCOTT TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT, CONTINUED The more I see 'of modern young women, John, the more I am constrained to say that I am glad my life Is nearly over. I do not think that j[ can bear to live much longer in a world populated by these girls and their progeny. Os course, I know that you are very much In love with Leslie. The reason I know this Is because since you have been married to her you have paid no more attention to me than you did before. A mother does not expect her son to be as thoughtful of her unless there Is some woman about who can tell him what a mother’s heart needs and desires. I have been greatly disappointed In Leslie. I can not understand why she makes friends of such women as Mrs. Walter Burke and even moving actresses while she leaves her own husband’s mother completely out of her life. I expect, of course, that she feels that she has done her duty when she provided for me a nurse, but I Bometimee feel that Miss Anderson Is more of a keeper than a friend. She seems to thwart me on every occasion and if I do not give In to her she threatens to leave. She knows I could not get along without her. * I am rather curious to know If you really dictated that letter to me. If you did you will know that MrsAtherton said that the hundred dollars a Week was in addition to the salary that was paid to Miss Anderson and the rent of my rooms at the hotel. I do not think I will stay at the hotel much longer. Miss Anderson seemed to think the other day that I might enjoy being in New York for a few weeks. Said she knew of a quiet place where we might go and that I would probably have a good time at the theaters. I told her that I did not care for the modern theater at all, that I ha 4 been brought up to feel that the sight of half dreesed women and more or less drunken men was nothing that a decent woman should put herself In a way of seeing. I would like very much to come over to Pittsburgh. I think that Leslie should consult me about arranging her house. She knows that I have been a housekeeper for many years and she has always admired my beautiful old colonial furniture. Had she been really a daughter to me I had Intended to give It all to her. But not knowing whether my cherished family heirlooms would look well In her scheme of household decoration, I of course can not really feel that she would care for them. You may Yell Mrs. Atherton for me that I would rather not have a letter from tny son If it has to be dictated to her or to any other stenographer and I shall insist, John, upon you taking the time to write me In longhand In the future. Affectionately your mother, MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: Letter from John Alden Prescott to Sydney Carton.

Before I had toy children my husband was very good to me. and would not go anywhere without me. but since the children are here he won’t take me anywhere. He goes out every Saturday and Sunday. For the last eight months he has been coming home every Saturday night drunk. Six months ago he was arrested for having liquor on him. I thought that would cure him. but it didn’t. He told me if I did not like the way he was doing to get out. What would you suggest for me to do? He told me that if I left him he would get the children. That is all I have. What is wrong? ,1 always stay at horns, and always have his meals ready. A WORRIED WIFE. Your husband could not got your children, unless he could prove you are an unfit guardian, and I think he would have a hard time proving that. If he cares for the children, perhaps you can appeal to him to give up his drinking for their sakes. It is that, I imagine, that causes the rest of the trouble. Don’t nag, don’t stay at home! all the time, and don’t let your husband bluff you. He’s on Her Mind Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl 17 yean old. About three months ago I met a man 23 years old.
