GOVERNOR MON GIVES OUTLINE OF OFFimOURSE Inaugural Address Deals With Problems That Confront the Citizens of the State. STANDS ON PARTY PLATFORM Ante-Election Pledges Made to the i People Must Be Carried Out —Efficient Primary Election Law the First of the Requirements—For Public Utilities Commission. . Indianapolis, Jan. 13- —Samuel M. Ralston was today sworn in as governor of Indiana. His inaugural address was as (follows: Senators, Representatives and Fellow’ Citizens: The oath I have just taken binds me most solemnly to the faithful discharge of high official duties. It pledges me to loyalty to the constitution of my state and to the constitution of my country, and imposes upon me duties to the citizenship under both. The sincerity with which I have taken this obligation cannot now be known to those whom I am pledged to serve. By my official conduct their confidence in me will either be strengthened or destroyed I intend It shall be strengthened. On the 13th day of January. 1873— forty years ago this day—one of Indiana’s most cultured gentlemen and ablest statesmen, Thomas A. Hendricks, was inaugurated governor of Indiana. In his inaugural address he said: . “It is not expected of me upon this occasion to consider, with any degree of particularity, the subjects of legislation that may occupy your attention at the present session. That duty has been discharged by my predecessor. But I cannot avoid a reference to some subjects of special in terest and importance.’ . As in the case of the predecessor of Governor Hendricks, my distinguished predecessor. Governor Marshall, has complied with the provision of the constitution requiring the governor to communicate with the general assembly, and this renders it unnecessary that I should address a formal message to the legislature at this time. The reference I shall now make to any particular subject of legislation will be made not so much with a view of Indicating the character of any 'law. that should be enacted as with a view of showing the direction I am now facing and shall continue to face during my administration. Appeal to Party Loyalty. I assume that the Democratic majority of the present legislature will abide by and promptly proceed to carry out the last plakform declarations made by its party in .this state. This will include an efficient primary election law and a general revision of the road laws. Not to carry out this platform would be a- betrayal of the people’s confidence. Numerous and serious questions frequently arise between public utilities companies and their patrons or customers, involving, in many instances to a greater or less extent the public. These questions sometimes take the form of real controversies growing out of the methods pursued in granting and procuring franchises: the rates charged for service and the kind of service rendered. Out of this condition has grown quite a general demand in different sections of the state for a public utilities commission. Such a commission, as is well known, would be vested with authority over telephone companies, gas companies, electric light companies, water companies, power companies, street car companies, Interurban traction companies and kindred utilities companies, and I recommend the creation of the lame. The many properties and the vast amount of capital that would come under the jurisdiction of a utilities commission indicate the ability and care required in drafting a utilities law absolutely fair to both the public and those having their money invested in such properties. Utilities Law Asked For. A utilities law should empower the commission to make physical valuatlon and to ascertain the amount invested and the amount necessary to keep up repairs and pay operating expenses. These things are essential to be known as a basis for arriving at proper charges for service. It is Important that the law should contain a provision against watered stock and overbonding and against abuses in granting franchises, and it should require a system of uniform accounting. I hope the legislature will make a cealous effort to enact a satisfactory law on this subject. While the people are alert on questions of this char acter and are demanding proper ser : vice by utilities companies at reasonable rates, they do not wish to work oppression upon them. They desire only what js right between man and man, and to my personal knowledge there are utilities companies in this

Attar the performance Stevenson, in his black shirt, walked in silence out Regent street to Oxford circus. He stopped at Oxford circus and.

state that share this view with - the people. The majority of American citizens are neither rich nor poor. man of limited means, therefore wh(. honors his country in times of peace and defends her institutions in times of war Is entitled to have wealth bear its share of pflblic expenses. To thjs end I hope the legislature will enact an inheritance tax law. Corporations are creatures of the state. They have no authority to issue stocks and bonds or securities in any forth except as the state vests them with power to issue the same. There should be a law against the issuance and sale of watered securities, unless on the face thereof the amount or per cent, of -water therein is accurately stated. Workingman’s Compensation Law. We should have in this state a workingman’s compensation law. Whether such a law can be- made compulsory under the Indiana constitution is a question. If a FW on this Subject is enacted containing a compulsory provision and it otherwise meets my approval I shall let the supreme court say whether it is* constitutional. In my opening campaign speech last falli I stated that while I personally favored a constitutional convention, I had no authority to commit my party to such a movement, but that without regard to my individual views, I would, in the event of my election, make such recommendations as to the advisability of calling a | convention as I believed -fairly repre- ; sented the views of the people. What tjicn are the views of the peo- I pl on this subject? The Democratic j legislature in 1911 believed that the) present constitution of Indiana did j not meet the requirements of the people, and so holding it prepared for sub- j mission to the voters of Indiana a i new constitution. ’ . The Progressive and the Republi- ■ can parties in their- respective platforms of 1912 declared in favor of a constitutional convention. So unless the Democratic legislature of 1911 and the Progressive and the Republican parties were all mistaken the people of Indiana are in need .of and want a new constitution. For Constitutional Convention. Is it strange that they should desire an up-to-date organic law? Their present constitution was adopted more than sixty years ago. Since then the development of our state has been marvelous. Its population has greatly increased and its Intellectual, social and material progress have multiplied many fold. New questions have arisen that cannot be solved under the present instrument and new conditions make it necessary for the people to assert rights they cannot exercise thereunder. What Is a government for if it is not to serve the purpose of the people? Thomas Jefferson believed so strongly that this was the object of government that he maintained that a constitution should contain a provision for its revision every twenty years. There have been but few, if any, men in this state who excelled the late Gov. Isaac P. Gray in ability accurately to Interpret public sentiment. In his message to the legislature more than thirty years ago he strongly advocated the calling of a constitutional convention. I have thus briefly stated the facts that I believe show the people want a neiv constitution, and .personally I favor a constitutional convention. I recognize that it is the duty of legislators. before favoring such a convention, to consider the expense of the same from the standpoint of their constituents, and in view of the present financial condition of the state and the money the state will be asked to raise In the near future for the Panama exposition and a memorial building. I should also add In this connection that it is perfectly proper for the legislature to consider whether a convention should be called while the constitution submitted by the legislature of 1911 is Involved in litigation on appeal in the Supreme court of the United States. Servant of All the People/ While I was nominated for governor as a party man and elected as such and am with pride still a Democrat without apology, I do not fail to recognize in the hour of triumph that the noise and prejudice of a campaign have been succeeded by the calm so essential to good neighborhood and the public welfare. I am admonished by the character of my oath of office that I am not now the representative of a political party, except in a limited sense, but that I am the servant of all the people without regard to creed or party and without regard to the manner born. By the first line of our state constitution the people of Indiana dedicated themselves to the sublime doctrine of the equality of man. This idea of principle of government existed in the remote past in sentiment only. Senaca, the pagan philosopher, was perhaps the first to recognize it as a controlling principle in society and government, when he declared in his contemplation of death that “The chief part of equity is equality.” As the surest means of vitalizing this principle in the affairs of men, our federal and state governments are each divided into three distinct divisions with separate functions and without any power on the part of any one to exercise the functions of either of the others. Whether we look to the federal or state government, the fact appears that the people have not only defined with great? accuracy the duties of each division of their government but they have furnished the world the unprecedented example of voluntarily surrendering a part of their unlimited

, Had No Time. Miss Specs—“ Charles, did you ever allow your mind to pierce the secrets of the universe, to reason that this dull, cold world Is but the sepulchre of ages past, that man in all his glory Is but the soil we tread, which every breeze wafts in an overshifting maze, to be found and lost in an infinity of particles—the dust of centuries, reunited and dissolved as long as time shall endure?" Charles —“No-o, I can't say I have. You see, I've had to earn my own living.”—Stray Stories.

power. They deprived themselves of all legislative, executive and judicial j authority, and before they j:an per | form any of these functions of govern- ; ment they must revest themselves w-jth the necessary power therefor by constitutional methods they themselves have devised. V In the Hands of the People. The thought I want to leave with you at this point is this: if the peo pie, the source of all power, refuse to exercise power they have delegated until they can in a formal and orderly way' revest themselves with authority to act, their conduct in this respect should afford a solemn admonition against the usurpation of authority by any branch of the government. Impressed by the example thus set by the people, and revering constitutional provisions, I shall con scientlously strive to confine my official acts to the executive sphere prescribed by pie constitution, and steadfastly refrain from attempting coercive methods respecting the other branches of government. Those called to official positions •of grave responsibility cannot hope rightfully to respond to the demands of the public, if they close their eyes to the conditions cf society and the spirit of the times. Indifferently, Indeed, has he lived who does not understand that the people know sh;eir government is slipping away from them and that they are pleading for honest ; public servants. I We should not forget, however, that I wild declamation disorganizes and frustrates the plans of those working ( | for the general good. Recognizing i ’ this truth the people are coming more i ; and more to lay their heads together j ;on ' matters of public concern, I the view of, being able to give helpI ful advice to those in authority oyer I them. Hence the official entreaty to 1 the populace should be, “Come, let us ; reason together.” This was the cjon- . ception of law making the philosophical Burke had in mind when he de- ■ dared that “in all forms of govern- , ments the people is the true legis’ator.” Tribute to Citizenship. In national as in state affairs j they have solved intelligently everj question they 'have had to consider. I sometimes think that njien in public station do not always correctly estimate the wisdom and the character of American citizenship. While our citizens are aggressive and at times seem to act hastily, they are nevertheless given to serious thought. This is true because the average American is capable of a high order of friendship and has the ability to acquire property. Unless the law is enforced constitutional guarantees become but the dreams of our fathers and the most sacred rights of citizenship have nothing secure upon which to rest. Before the law the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the laborer must stand upon an equality. As governor I shall have no favorites in the execution of the law, and let it now be understood that I shall hold that the mind which devises a scheme that is in violation of law is guiltier than the dependent hands that execute the offense in obedience to orders. A free government, resting upon the consent and having the love and support of all the people, should not be chargeable with class legislation. This sort of legislation is the trail of The Beast through the people’s I law making body, and is the rankest sort of injustice to the masses. It repudiates the doctrine of equal and exact justice to all men, special privi ilege to none, and eliminates the will ' of the people as a factor in the enact- ■ ment of laws. I believe in the accumulation of property, but the acquisition of riches by the special Interests, through the perversion of the functions of government, tends to divide the people into classes and weakens their confidence in the government. The supremacy of the people over combinations of all kinds is the demand of the day and the political party now entrusted with power that does not meet this demand will be repudiated by the people at their first opportunity. I make no attack upon property, i Property rights are shielded by constitutional guarantees and must be reI spected. Nor am I hostile to corpor- [ ations. On the contrary, I recognize . their worth. The business of the coun- ■ try could not be carried on without ■ | them. Bu| I insist that when they i ' dominate legislatures and control the • people’s government in their own in- > terest, they violate the law of their . creation, become wrong doers against , the public and should be dealt with : accordingly. But corporations, like : individuals, when they are arraigned for wrong doing, either before the . bar of public opinion or at the bar . of justice, must be tried according to ■ the rules of justice. It may, therel fore, be appropriately observed in . this connection that the loudest denunciation does not necessarily indicate the surest way to the reform the : people want, and that catch phrases • often lead In the opposite direction i to real progress. i Senators and representatives, I hope that when your legislative du- ; ties are concluded, you will have, the satisfaction of knowing, you have, as , law makers, met the reasonable ex- : pectation of the people. To be conl scious of having served your state ’ to a noble purpose will strengthen • you in your future work and comfort you when the shadows fall about you. • Those representing the co-ordinate i branches of government should suet tain a relation of trust and confidence i with one another, and I ask all with r whom I shall be associated in an - official way to aid me ‘in giving the - people a money-saving and a public*I serving administration.

Practical Ventilating Hint. The house should be ventilated in winter as well as In summer if the family is to be kept in good health. Bedrooms, especially, should be provided with a free circulation of fresh air. One way to get fresh air in a bedroom without having a draft is to/ tack strips of cheesecloth across the top and the bottom of the window so that when it is opened in both places the fresh air will enter the room and yet, should there.be a strong wind, its force will be broken by the cloth.

i day experiences prompts him to ask, j “Is it trustworthy, dependable?” If a i man buys a fountain pen, he asks, I “Will it write all the time?” As the : aeronaut locks at his biplane or ■ monoplane, and thinks cf being i 5,000 feet above the earth, he ! asks: “Is it dependable?” If a man has a bit of money and wishes to lay it aside for a rainy day, he asks of the bank in which he thinks of de- j positing it: “Is it safe?” President- : elect Wilson recently said: "However . the variation may come, no matter what the ephemeral feature may be, ! no matter what the external form may 1 be, men are looking for a foothold; I they are looking for some firm ground I of faith upon which to walk.” ’ Is it possible that man can ask with i reference to God: “Is he dependable?” The gods of the Egyptians, Greeks or Romans were super-mun-dane beings; and man was constantly asking the question: “Will the gods change?” We have a proverb that has come down the centuries, “As fickle as the gods.” The ancient religious devotee would think of his gods as mercurial, changeable beings, moved by any wind that blew—he could never trust them. If we take the gods of today, and they are not the less gods than in the days of old —money, place, appetite —men are bowing down to these and worshiping them, and they may well ask, “Are they dependable?” So the subject of a dependable God is immensely practical, and those who worship the God of the Bible claim that he is dependable. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, whether manifesting himself as Father, Son or Holy Spirit. The Bible Is full of claims of the faithfulness of God, and God may be placed in sharp -contrast to the gods that are in opposition or rivalry. The true God never breaks a promise, as the text so clearly claims. There may be some support to the idea of the dependability of God, as there is a demand for this in God; just as we claim that there is a God because there is a demand for God. And again the regularity and uniformity of movement of the various parts of God’s creation is proof of the regularity and uniformity in the Creator himself. We know that the rising of the sun can be depended on; seasons of the year never fall to alternate; the systems that swing in illimitable space are so exact in their movements that those movements can be calculated for milenniums in advance to minutes and seconds —and God created all of these, and he is as dependable as they. God has given us many “great and ( precious promises”—of blessings material, blessings to the body politic, blessings to the intellectual and esthetic nature, and to the spiritual in man, both with respect to the experiences of this life, and the eternity that stretches beyond. The challenge of God as to his faithfulness invites the closest examination of his character for veracity, consequently for dependability. His promises have been most specific; in many cases given to individuals; dates, locations and circumstances’ being definitely proclaimed hundreds of years before the things promised were realized. Joshua was justified in his strong assertion as he reviewed God’s personal relationship to himself, for at the beginning of his career (Josh. 1:5) God had given specific promises, and they had been fulfilled literally. We are not surprised that the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews should •ay, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised.” The absoluteness of the promises of God, and the impllclty of faith in those promises on the part of a great number of persons, make men stagger; but the accomplishments of such men as Hudson Taylor, George Muller and others of less fame fully establish the fact. This dependability of God is comprehensive. It means something beyond his promises of blessings, and applies as well to the warnings and threatenings of his word. In the history of Israel the threatenings because of disobedience were as numerous, is not more so, than the promises of blessings because of obedience. God being just aa dependable as to the carrying out of the one as of the other. If God is proclaimed as faithful God (Deut. 7:9) with respect to keeping covenant and showing mercy to a thousand generations, it is shown in the next verse that it is the same God that “repays those who hate him taco to face." ■“God will not chans*—th* restlens run may bring— Sunlight and shad*—glories of th* spring.

iffiFWG FOR THEWDRKOFI9I3 CITY BUILDING, PAILWAY BUILDING AND FARM OPERATIONS IN WESTERN CANADA, BIGGEST EVER. The machinery, the money and the men for carrying on the big works in Western Canada in 1913 are already provided for. The splendid harvest which was successfully garnered, and by this time. mostly marketed, responded to the big hopes that were had for it early in the season, and inspired capitalists and railroads to further investment and building. From lake ports to mountain base there will be carried .on the biggest operations in city building and railway construction that has ever taken place in that country. The Canadian Pacific railway has everything in waiting to continue their great work i of double tracking the system and by I the time the Panama Canal is open to I traffic there will be a double line of I steel from Lake Superior to the Pa- ! clflc coast. The cost will exceed | thirty million dollars. The Grand ■ Trunk Pacific plan of building a firsti class trunk line and then feeders at various points will be carried forward with all the force that great company can put into the work. The Canadian Northern is prepared to put into motion a’ll the energy that young giant of finance and railroad building can put into various enterprises of providing and creating transportation facilities. Building operations in the several I cities, that have already marked ‘ themselves a place in the list of successful and growing cities, will be • carried on more largely than ever. Schools, public buildings, parliament buildings, colleges, business blocks, apartments, private residences, banks, street and other municipal improvements have their appropriation ready, and the record of 1913 will be something wonderful. Other places which are towns today will make the rapid strides that are expected and will become cities. There will be other Edmontons, Calgarys, Reginas and Saskatoons, other places that may in their activity help to convince the outer world of the solidity and permanency of the Canadian West. The country is large and wide and broad : and the ends of its great width and length are but the limits of its agricultural area. Its people are progressive, they are strong, there is no enervation there. The country teems “with this life, this ambition, this fondness to create and to use the forces that await the settler. If they coma from, the South, and hundreds of thousands of them have, they are ■ now the dominant men of the North, and they have imbibed of the spirit ! of the North. Therefore it is fair to ! say that no portion of the continent | will show such wonderful results as Western Canada, and the year 1913 will be but the beginning of a won- , derful and great future. And in this future the 200,000 Americans who I made it their home, and those who preceded them, will be a considerable portion of the machinery that will be used in bringing about the results ' predicted. The development of 1913 will not be confined to the prairie provinces. Railway building and city building in British Columbia will be supplemented by the farm, the ranch and the orchard building of that province. VancouVhr will make great strides in building, hnd Victoria, the staid old lady of so\many years, has already shown signs yof modern ways, and if the progress tpade in 1912 may be accepted as anything like what it will be in 1913, there will be wonderful developments there. During last year the’ permits went over the ten million dollar mark and much mere is promised for the year now entered mpon.—Advertisement A woman always seems to think a 'jian can make over his silk hat as easily as she can make a new bonnet rut of the one she wore last year.
