outlining the administration's education, health and highway pro-
grams, Neutral Stand He indicated he believed more taxes will be necessary if many of the pending bills are passed. “If they're going to pass all these bills, they'd better start scratching for something to pay with” the governor said. He continued his neutral stand on labor issues. The legislature is obligated t& “hit the middle of the road on these issues,” said Governor Gates, In his message to the general assembly, the governor expressed hope that no punitive or restrictive legislation would be passed. .
He declined to define the terms,
stating that there is too much.va- |i
riance of opinion on what constitutes punitive or restrictive legislation. Questioned on Closed Shop “What is viewed as important by
one side might be considered puni=+

one which would give state police |gorrespondent,
the right to act in labor disputes without orders from him. : “The one thing every senator and representative ought to bear in|
‘mind,” the governor concluded, “is a
not to punish either free enterprise’ or ‘collective bargaining.”
