Ourmutual aim should therefore be to co-operate heartily in the beneficent purpose of promoting just government, of de- veloping the vast and varied re- sources of our glorious state and of accelerating its march to yet grander achievements. We have just recently witnessed the close of a century rich in industrial renown and triumphs of inventive genius—rich in progress, without parallel in the establishment of lib- erty, rich in the advancement of wrought inestimable benefactions to the whole human race. Everywhere we see to-day, by visible and unmis- takable evidences, more of progress, more of philanthropy, more of lib- erty and more of all the other hard won attainments that ennoble and dignify our race than the world dreamed of an hundred years ago. THE LOWEST STATE TAXES. “The rate of state taxation has been reduced one-half and is now the lowest tax rate levied by any state by only $1,872,000 of outstanding bonds and by $4,393,839.42 of school fund certificates. These cer- tificates are sacred obligations due the school and seminary funds, and both the honor and the resources of the people are pledged in their be- half. “The principle of arbitration as a potent factorin the adjustment of differences between eapital and labor has been fully recognized, and if fur- ther legislation be needed to unite capital and laborin the bonds of fraternity and mutual interest it should be promptly provided. “All these policies have enhaneed the prosperity of our state and the happiness of our people, and I do not need now toinvite your atten- state sovernment to the actual ne- cessities of a frugal administration This should be our policy, and yet in its execution we should not hesitate to make ample provision for the de- velopment of our resources and the promotion of such sound public poli- cies as will keep Missouri in the very forefront of the progressive march’ of the times. now submit further Permit me to add simply that what- slation is enacted it ould sugyestions. ever Ir terest affected by proposed legisl:- an open, impartial hearing.

Missouri has already achieved grandly, but let us catch more fully, if possible, the inspiration oi the marvelous era in which we live. We must neither stand still nor take any backward step.
