INAUSURAL TALK

Effort to Improving Government.’

Following is the text of Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Daw-

4son’s-inzugural ‘address:

I have just been . privilpged.-to take the cath of office required by the people of this state from those whom they have chosen us their executives in the - governrient of the State 0f Indiana. I am inipressed by the solemnity of that oath. I am impressed by the obligsfion which that oath emphasizes. | I am impressed by the duty which the acceptance of that oath places upon me. To me the oath of offici means far more than the mere acceptance of the obligations imposed by law upon any officer of this sjate. It means fai! more than fulfillment of those duties which are required by law. To ine the acceptance of that oath meals that I am duty bound not only to carry out those obligations of |pffice which are fixed by law, but to lend my every effort, my best efforts, toward a rontinually improving government for the people of my state. To me that oath means that I am duty bound to strive ccnstantly to bring about new developments in the field bf government ani to apply them for the benefit of bur people. To me that oath means the selection, insofar as it is within my power to select, of high-grade, conscientious efficient division department heads who know no loyalty other than to the peoyle.

FAITH IS PARAMOUNT

To me that oath means that I am to strive for better and be:ter government, It is a contract hut much more than a scrap of papér and a scratch of a pen. It is:som3thing in which faith is the paramount factor —in which trust is writter. in bold letters at the beginning. | It is a contract not only binding upon me persdnally, but pon the party of which I am a menber. As a part of that contract I am bound tc lend my utmost energies to carry out the platform pledges of my party. For, in those platform pledges (is the written part of my contract with the people. | I intend to carry out, insofar 2s I can do so, the writien part of that ¢ontract— our platiorm pledges. i That platform was based primarily on the thesis of gooil government. 1% called for definit? changes in government. It set up certain fixcl principles of government. The people read and undexstood those party platform pledges aiid elected ite officifls on that basis. | So, I plan to devote my time, my energies and my judgment toward the program laid down in the Republican platform. I shail be true to those pledges insofar as that is possible| in the changing condition of the viorld and our stat: today. Among those pledges i; that of restoration of government in Indiana to the hands of the p:ople. Decentralization must be the method to be followed if this is to be accomplisiied. My contract makes it mandatory that I follow | that line of endeavor, and that I shall do.

'NO NEW TAXES

My party platform cails for no new taxes; for a reductior. wherever possible in state expenditures for governrient; for a governinent closer to the people; for the removal of our perial, benevolent ard correctional institutions from ‘he realm of poliiical control; for ‘the elimination| of politics ‘trom those departmeiits dealing with ¢ur unfortunates! and our sick. These and other platform provisions I shall work for and attempt to carry them to fulfiliment. In conclusion I wish fq emphasize one important point: I believe that the best governmeni comes to

‘a people who have as tlieir repre-

sentatives - men and women who know the meaning of the word “cooperation.” We face in this state tnday a situation unprecedented in recent administiations. I mean, of course, that condition which results in the Governior of this State being of one

tive officers of an oppasite political faith. Immediately after the eiection and when the results became known many of the pecple of this state were alarmed by the prospects of continuous strifz when the new a:iministration came into existence. i

FEAR HAS DIMINISHED

I arg pleased to say tcday, and to have to a large extent been allayed. Those of my political faith lave, I am proud to say, soberly and sanely gone forward to develor a program of stite government for Indiana

- |which was and is in keeping with

their party’s pledges to the people. The same sober approach to the problem has appeared ir the leadership df the other side. | For both I am grateful. We are at a stage, natiorially and locally, vhere ali our collective energies must be devcted to co-operative action in the fullest sense | or we head for ferious trouble. | Good government to) me implies co-operative action. I, jor one, pledge myself to approach our problems co-operatively and in the best judgment. Think you.

Following is the’ text of Governor Henry “F. Schricker’s inaugural address at the State House today: This day marks the beginning of

a new administration in the polit<

ical history of Indiana, and I stand before you with unaffected humility to assume the responsibilities of the high -office of Governor, which a free and noble people have so generously bestowed upon .me. . To me it is a day of awe and reverent devotion, and to you, my fellow citizens, I trust it will be a day of earnest prayer and increasing. faith in the Provesses of democratic governent.

You are assembled today under the dome of this majestic State House to witness the transfer of executive authority from the hands of one Hoosiér to another, and by your presence pay tribute to him who now retires from this exacting service and also to encourage him who faces the grave and unchartered responsibilities of the future. Without this wholehearted encouragement and without your sympathetic understanding the .strongest of men might well shrink from the task that lies before us. The spiritual worth and the patriotic unity of our people is the priceless heritagé of this hour, and I fervently pray. that God will give me the rwisdom, the courage and the strength to meet these.responsibilities, and thus do_smy ‘part in preserving the blessings of a free government for our people. We are reminded again, on - this occasion, of the precious privileges and rare opportunities. for unselfish services which. have been so carefully woven into the rich tapestry of American citizenship. All of the material wealth of the world fades into insignificance when compared to the processes of a free government that will elevate a man of simple birth to the high position of Governor of a great and sovereign state. I welcome this opportunity to take a solemn oath in support of its Constitutional authority and to acknowledge my own debt to the venerable founders of our Republic and also to those who have preserved its liberties and opportunities to our own day.

CITES UNUSUAL SITUATION

Thomas Jefferson once declared that ‘good government exists in jealousy rather than in confidence.” How jealous then you and I ought to be in this tragic hour of world disaster to preserve, at any and all costs, those fundamental principles, ideals and purposes from which our priceless citizenship derives its strength. These constitute “the rock whence we are hewn,” the source of our liberty, the safeguard of our ‘heritage, and the hope of our future. In ‘entering upon the Solemn duties of chief executive I am not unmindful of the unusual political complexity existing in my immediate official family, neither do I minimize the fact that another important branch of our State Government, the General Assembly, is in complete control of a political party other than my own. This situation has been a matter of speculation and perhaps grave concern, to party leaders and to our people generally since election day. I freely admit my own anxiety with reference to our future progress under these conditions, but at no time have I entertained the slightest doubt concerning the sincere patriotism of any other elected official, regardless of politics, neither have I been disturbed by any misgiving that ought but good should come out of our combined efforts in the service for which we were chosen. You and I, my fellow officials, regardless of politics, have taken the same solemn oath to support both the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Indiana, and we stand prepared faithfully and impartially to discharge the duties -of our respective offices to which we were elected. This” obligation, above everything else, clearly defines our relationship to the people, and happily furnishes the ‘best and most reliable of platforms upon which to launch our future activities together. It shall be my purpose never to lose sight of the obligation I have taken today. From this hour, you and I share joint responsibility, a responsibility that runs directly to the people first, and then to the party to which we owe allegiance. Political parties are important and necessary under our form of government, but you and I will do well to remember that a public office is still a public trust, and that he who serves his country best also serves his party best. The people of Indiana have chosen us for a very definite and important service. Prudence should dictate a willingness in every heart to work together for the common good. I give ou now my solemn pledge that I shall entertain no other purpose.

TRACES GRANTS OF POWER

All governmental authority in Indiana flows directly from the Séate Constitution, and I deem it entirely appropriate on this occasion to renew our acquaintanceship with a few of the more important provisions of this important document. Section 1 of Article 1, known as the Bill of Rights, draws its inspiration directly from the Declaration of Independence and restates these important truths: “That all power is inherent in the people; and that all free governments are, and of

authority, and instituted for their peace, safety and well being. For the advancement of these ends, the people have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their government.” % In Section 1 of Article 3, our State Constitution recognizes and adopts

the Federal principles with respect

Text of Governor Sc

to the distribution of governmental power. It Says: “The powers of government are divided into three separate departments; the legislative, the executive including the ad-

no person charged with the official duties under one of these departments shall exercise any of the functions ‘of another, except as in this Constitution expressly provided.” In subsequent articles, dealing separately with the respective duties of these three important depart-

following express grants of delegated power:. First: “The legislative authority of the state shall be vested in a

sist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.” Second: “The-executive power of the state shall be vested in a Governor.” . . . “The Governor shall transact ‘all necessary business with the officers of government.” . . . “He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Third: “The judicial power of the state shall be vested in a Supreme Court, Circuit courts and such other courts as the General Assembly may establish.” In the foregoing paragraphs we find a brief recital of virtually all delegated power vested by the Constitution in the three independent yet ' co-ordinated branches of our government, and I am sure we are all agreed that no better plan for the “peace, safety and well being” of a state or nation has ever been devised by man. From earliest childhood we have been schooled to the-importance of preserving the sanctity and the independence of each of these separate and distinct departments of government. . Certainly no one amongst us today would tolerate or even suggest a departure from this: truly American order.

INVOKES LINCOLN CHALLENGE

As your Governor, it shall be my high purpose to transact impartially all of the Constitutional duties vested in that. office, and to “take care that laws are faithfully executed.” With equal determination I shall refrain from the usurpation of undue authority or the invasion of the rights and duties of other departments. ' I shall entertain a wholesome respect for the acts of the General Assembly as they are written and interpreted, and the decrees of the courts with us shall always be final. Thus is Constitutional government preserved in all

of its purity, and in that spirit I

invoke the challenge of the immortal Lincoln when he said: “Let reverence for the law become the political religion of the nation.” This, as has been so often observed, is indeed a testing time for representative government. For us, assembled here today, it may also be a testing time for our political sanity and capacity for self government. To succeed we must have aith in one another, respect each others’ views, and finally move forward under the mandate of our common interest in a common cause. The processes of orderly government must not be jeopardized in this joint undertaking. At this very hour the world is plunged into darkness and despair. Intolerance, greed and the lust for power, have wrecked the whole universe, brought untold misery and death to countless thousands, and completely undermined and shattered the economic welfare of almost every nation. Even our own beloved country, while still at peace, is rapidly assuming the proportion of an armed camp and billions of dollars are being feverishly expended in an effort to provide adequate national defense.

CAN'T IGNORE THREATS

Within the week our own National Guard units will be mobilized for a year’s intensive training. Hundreds of other young men from i own homes are being called to We colors under the Selective Service laws. We fervently pray that not a single American soldier will be sacrificed on the altar of another World War, yet we cannot ignore the growing threat to our own safety or be indifferent to the duty of defending the last bulwark of democracy, on our own shores. God ‘only knows when this terrible scourge will pass, but the stern reality of its awful presence cannot be denied. Indiana can be counted upon to do her part, and to this end your Governor and your Legislature will need the united and sympathetic support of all of her people. Great are the responsibilities that have been: thrust upon us and great is the need for a resurgence of our spiritual strength, in order to appraise correctly the conflicting issues that lie before us. The indomitable courage of our forbears, coupled with our own faithe in popular government, must not fail us in this hour of world disaster. One of our major problems, under these distressful and" tragic conditions, in my own humble opihion, is that of the continued existence

of democracy in our own country. This simple inaugural ceremony may well be accepted as a symbol of our democratic system.’ It implies acceptance by citizens of all parties of a leadership in public office, for a definite period, of two public officials who were selected by the free choice of a majority of our people. It symbolizes a method of government to which we in the United States have become thoroughly accustomed and to which Svery right-thinking American gladly bears allegiance. Yet we would be blind to our own welfare and to the safety of this system if we failed to recognize and give heed to the subversive influences, altogether too apparent in our own day, that seek to undermine our faith in popular government and lure us into the paths of a false .security. To all of these sinister agencies, whether they come in the form of class hatred, religious bigotry, foreign or domestic propaganda, or po~litical prostitution, we, as a people, must register a united, emphatic opposition and denial. ' National unity, free from rancor and intolerance, alone can preserve the sanctity of our free institutions. It remains for us to free our land of these deadly and destruttive enemies. There can be room for but one flag and one allegiance in this country of ours and our pressing responsibility, as I recognize it, is to “make democracy safe’ for our own country. Let .it never be said of Indiana that she has given protracted refuge to any of these unAmerican forces or failed in her duty to destroy them.

“HOOSIERS HAVE KEPT FAITH”

Hoosier born and Hoosier bred, I share with you, my fellow citizens, the unreserved pride which flows from: an intimate knowledge and sincere appreciation of the glorious history of our own state. Destined by an all-wise Providence to become the cradle of human liberty in the great Northwestern territory, Indiana has never surrendered her rightful place in the Federal constellation nor diminished her ardor for the general welfare and steady progress of her people. From the very begininng of her proud record her sons and daughters have kept faith with the principles upon which the Republic was founded, and have attracted nation-wide attention by their political fervor and rare capacity for high public service. The art of politics, with all of its intriguing possibilities, has been an inseparable portion of the daily menu of every Hoosjer household, and both of the great political parties represented on this inaugural platform have been co-authors in writing the glowing pages of her governmental achievements. No sister state can lay claim to a more progressive or constructive record, and no spot on earth offers a finer opportunity for honest and unselfish service. “The worth of a state, in the long run,” in the words of an English philosopher, “is the worth of the individuals composing it.” In the light of this great truth we offer Indiana’s proud record as'a challenge to succeeding generations who shall carry the torch of human progress in the future. In the fields of labor and industry, agriculture and science, literature and art, education and religion, our people have establishdd not only their own worth, but also the worth
