Governor's Inaugural Address Follows Parade and Oath. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 12.— The third inauguration of Albert C. Ritchie as Governor of Maryland took Place at noon today. It is the first time Maryland ever elected a governor for a third term. Ceremonies began at 10 o'clock, when a parade, headed by Chief of Police Richard B. Holliday and staff, followed by the Naval Academy band, swung into motion. In the first section re National Guard troops, under thé command of Col. Washington Bowie, marshal. The ®econd section consisted of the Demo- Cratic clubs of Baltimore. The pa- raders marched to the State House, where the guardsmen formed a cor- don, along which the governor, Mrs. Albert Ritchie, his mother, and others in his immediate family passed to the Senate chamber, where the inaugural was held. One of the National Guard bands Played in front of the Executive Man- slon and the other at the east front of the Capitol. The chambers of the Senate and the House of Delegates and the corridors were decorated. Both houses convened at 10:45 and remain- ed in session an hour when the mem- bers of the House of Delegates were escorted to the Senate chamber. Judges of the Court of Appeals were eacorted there. At 11:50 the inauguraly committee of the House and Senate went to the Executive Mansion for the @overnor. Field guns outside the House roared the governor's salute of 19 guns as the oath of office was administered by Judge Bond. Immedi- ately after the taking of the oath the governor went to the executive office upstairs and the delegates retired to their chambers; the Senate, however, remained in session to confirm the overnor’s nomination of David M. einbrenner, 3d, of Frederick, for Secretary of State. The Senate then took a recess and the members went to the House chamber, where the governor delivered his inaugural ad- dress. toms and traditions and political splrit It T am right in that, then I suppose we inherited it from our an cestors and 1 would like to see it cherished and preserved and spres to the far corners of the Nation as the Maryland gospel of free govern ment. We have dri stream of Government shonld not | but a servant. TIf the people are to | be interested in government, they I'must govern by being close to those who ministrate them.

Mrs. Walter 8. Ufford, chairman, pre- State's National Position. Struggle of the States against Fed- eral invasion and Maryland's high place in national development were discussed by Gov. Ritchie. “We take _ merited pride in the renown of our * hoepitals and clinics for the tubercu- lar; in a system of institutions for the insane, in public health work, directed by physicians of world-wide repute, which has decreased sickness and gor- tality rates and destroyed epidemics; in liberalized workmen's compensa tion laws and humane mining laws; in penal institutions which afford in- mates useful and remunerative work. Maryland was one of two pioneer States in highway improvements, and the Maryland farmer has not had to face the acute problem of the Western corn-belt farmer; yet here, else- ‘where, there is not the proper equilib- rium between the rewards of industry and farm, and the farmer is not recelving his share of the economic surplus. The policy of no State can solve this problem, but Maryland has been alding through her effective co- operative policy in milk tobacco and other products and her contributions to the improved marketing conditions and the increased yield of crops. “Our public school system has been lifted from its backward status to a position 6f recognized superiority. All thess and many other activities are being pursued through an effec- tive and modern form of government The reorganization act of 1922 co. ordinated the State’s numerous de- partments and agencies and produced a governmental machinery which is businesslike and up-to-date and " thoroughly adapted to the needs and customs of our people. Elections Cut Down. *The Fewer elections law elimi- nated State elections every other , with a great economic and fnancial saving. Appropriations are made under an approved budget sys- tem, the first to he adopted in any State; employes are engaged under & State merit system which operates without friction from any source; pur- chases are made through a central rchasing bureau governed solely by usiness principles. “From the contemplation of all this effective governmental handiwork, for the continuance and development of which proper provision will be made, we turn now im our role as builders of the State to the task of re-estab- Jishing the great natural resource of Maryland, the sea-food industry of the Chesapeake Bay. This is the essen- tial work before us at this session, for the industry has declined from its high estate almost to the vanishing point, and the task is creative in the fullest sense, because of the perplex- ing difficulties and the human emo- tions it has always involved. The problem challenges at once our best thought, our high resolve, and, above all, our State pride. All these things are costing money, of course, but they are all necessary to keep the Mary Jand government abreast of the times and the needs of the times ““We do not indeed protest against ihe ever-growing expenditures of the Federal Government wherever these supply the needs of the people or add fo the resources or effectiveness of the Nation. It is rather against the bureaucratic system of the Federal Government, remote from the people, With its burdensome, perplexing and prying laws, lacking popular sanc- sided.
