Since the passage of the recovery program, which cost three billion dollars, stocks have increased in value 10 billion dollars. In other words, the investor has received already more than three times the original valuz of the taxes he will pay for recovery. That doesn't sound like spending will ruin America!

‘NO SECURITY FOR ANYONE

Suffering is like a bad dream. When the pain has ceased, the tor-| tured hours seem little more than | a frightening dream. And so to-| day, the territyving events of 1030, | 1931 and 1932 seem part of an unexperience. But the tragedy

operation among all our people. Two of the most vital forces in our society are labor and industry. Neither can operate without the other. Labor needs the tools of industry, and industry needs the hands of labor. And, if our societv is to be stable and secure, labor must receive a fair share of the wealth it produces, just as business must have a just profit. The laborer is both a worker and a consumer, and if his buying power is lowered by low wages, the goods of industry will go unsold. We, and by we I mean the people of Indiana, through the Legislature and the executive, established

the Division of Labor to settle the

disputes of labor and industry around the conference table. Our record is unequalled anywhere; 700

| disputes, involving 151000 workers, | solved peacefully and satisfactorily. | In this work, the State of Indiana | has added to the security of every

Hoosier home.

an arrangement |

which has helped the retail merch-

Rural electrification is needed to

bring a more abundant life to the | 8

and through our efforts |

this modern convenience has been |

made available to hundreds

of |:

rural homes. The Public Service | Commission was able to obtain re- |

duction in rates for rural co-opera-

tives and Indiana is now in a po- |

sition to lead the nation in rurak| power. The Commission has worked | | wholeheartedly with the farm lead- |

ers in pushing the rural electrification program into every section of the siate I believe that as the Governor of a semiagricultural state, I should be deeply interested in national agricultura: problems. The problems of agriculture are more than local

problems, they are national prob- |

lems. Last October we sponsored a Midwest farm meeting, so that Indiana as well as other corn-belt states could have a hand in writing the new agricultural bill met, discussed our problems, and acted constructively. This administration, too, has endeavored to serve business and industry. We have encouraged reliable industries to come to Indiana and settle here. Day after tomorrow I will be in Buffalo, N. Y, to testify before the Interstate Commerce Commission, at the request of the State Chamber of Commerce. I am going to Buffalo to do my part to protect our industries against an unfair competitive advantage sought by other states.

State government is essentially a

service organization, and I wish I

had the time to tell you of all the | services we are giving the people |

cf Indiana. I wish I had time to

tell you how the Board of Health | protecting and preserving the | health of our people by its services |

time to tell you how we are minis- |

‘STUDYING FUTURE NEEDS’

We are today studying carefully future needs, so that we may act intelligently to meet new problems as they arise. talking to people to find ou; how

we can better serve the people at a |

reasonable cost evenly distributed. Commissions are studying taxation, marriage laws, and compensation insurance.

Last Christmas when thousands |

of our people were unemployed and all were facing heavy holiday and tax payments, we declared a moratorium on motor vehicle payments. We sincerely believed that the motorists should not be burdened with additional expense at that time.
