Blood AessioiTof the Utah the Twenty-fir- st legislature la direct end clear. In unmistakable terms Xhe chief executive reaffirms hie faith in the rule of the people and in concise language points out to the legislature its duty to the public at large, - With characteristic force Governor Blood etrikeg a death blow to the return of the aloon in Utah. He also urges against turning the control of liquor over to the mercenary. - Be asks that the legislature, in fact he demands that the legislature, follow the dictates of the people of the state in arriving at a plan Of liquor distribution which will net permit the return ofthe evils so prevalent in the old days before prohibition Governor Blood Is also extremely logical in his stand on social-- insurance. - The duty of the state to take care of its unemployables is admitted and stressed. The danger of fostering the growth of Jeeches and parasites who would profit by the good heartedness of a liberal commonwealth is also recognized. Governor Blood urges against any let down on the part of localities in caring He urges state aid for its unempldjhbles. where necessary ind asks that all legislation be made in harmony with the plans of the federal government. In taking this attitude the governor recognizes that social justice is a question both local end national and that complete unity In social insurance is necessary if any plan is to be a euccess. The Utah executive, like the rank and file of the people of the state, pins a lot of faith in President Roosevelt In this matter. The governor asks that any planfor unemployment Insurance or old age pensions be made to fit the comprehensive scheme " Which is being prepared tn Washington. In - this he is logical. Governor Blood turns to experience and his staff of trained men in his attack upon ih8 lax problem Here again he calls upon the legislature "to make a real study of the problems. He pdints ouC the need for relief 'of the property owner and asks that this be ingiven, to some extent, by correcting the come tax laws. In calling for a plan to regulate the public utilities Governor Blood again asks the legislature to follow a course which is for- - ward and yet 6afe. In asking the lawmakers to call upon the utility companies for funds with which to regulate the utilities Governor Blood attacks a popular problem in a thorough going manner. If the legislature follows his comments in this matter it will Jbe only a few years until all faots concerning publio utilities, their practices and their profits will be available to the publio at large and any problem which is then seen to exist can be handled on the basis of authentic information rather than upon claims ilo -- 4 -4- - 1 -- & i -- fi ii i A U -- v t. or counter claims. -The governors efforts to maintain the high standards of Utahs schools and to spread the opportunities of learnings to more Utah His efforts to citizens Is commendable. eliminate politics from the schools and courts received by most citizens.
