In his Inaugural talk, his first official act as governor, Governor Olson outlined what he believes the stale needs in the way of legl.iln-tion, but stressed particularly his concern over alleviating what lie termed "an acute unemployment situation." Because of the economy program of Governor Christ lanson during the last six years, he declared, the state institutions are in need of repairs and enlargement, and a plan of extensive' improvement must now be undertaken. Following the pledges he made during th campaign.

Governor Olson also declared his support for a conservation commission of seven members; enlargement of th state crime bureau by adding 12 police officers; an anti-injunction law for labor disputes; an Interim commission to study public utilities rates; repeal of the Brooks-Coleman law; uniform primary election laws; a full-time state parole board; giving the I advocate the passage of a law which will insure to every person the matters in which we may be Interested during your session, but (Contlnned From Pace 1) Minnesota- twenty-first and twenty-second governors walked into A memorial should be sent to the charged with contempt of court arising out of labor disputes, the full con I don't think I am ready to change1 shall confine my.xelf to certain ma icongress of the Lnited elates, re the house chamber arm-in-arm.

Olson of Minneapolis, Flowers Hank nostrum. It was the first trip ever made to the state capitol by Governor OS-son's father. His mother had been there twice previously, Tuesday nighte she had attended the reception given for her son by Governor Christiansen, and many years ago she had come to pass by the bier of the late Governor John A. Johnson. Flowers banked the rostrum, and on the speakers' table directly In ACID i abuse make It an unwise law.

It certainly would be a fine thing to expand this construction work now, when there Is so much need for relief of unemployment. Senator H. L.

Morin, Duluth, Farmer-Labor member I agree with some of the message, and some of It I do not agree with. The conservation policy advocated means nothing particularly. It Is just an Walton league plan. Certainly sportsmen on the range and others there Interested in conservation wouldn't indorse it. Senator Charles F.

Set-line, conservative, Mora In a few respects, the new governor shows a certain unfamiliarity with state affairs, but on the whole, I thought the talk was good. It shows a liberal attitude on highway improvement, and I glad to see this, for I have always urged more funds for paving our trunk highways.

I will be glad at any time to receive any suggestions from the situation frankly and courage states. I recommend the creation of a state conservation board of sev-en members, non-political in nature, appointed for definite term by the governor, with or without the consent of the senate. The merit hers should be representative of the different parts of our state and of different groups of citizens, add should nerve without salary, but be entitled to travelling expense when travelling In behalf of tins state. The conservation board should ae-j lect a commissioner of conservation, vested with all the powers, rights and duties of the present conservation department, the department of drainage and waters, as well as those of ths state auditor aa to any member of this legislature upon ously, and provide for these improvements, not only because they crat, Hutchinson The speech sound which I may act in my executive are of an immediate necessity, but capacity, for the betterment of the state.

I agree with the governor on most of it, but I differ 1th hira on one thing. I do not agree with what he says against the prevailing custom which gives the defense the closing argument in our trials. Senator C. Rosenmeier, Little Falls, chairman of the senate rules committee I think the speech con-; tained several suggestions which, will not become laws for some Senator George H.

We can also aid in relieving unemployment by. enlarging our road paving program.

Minnesota has about 2,600 peace officers, 87 sheriffs and deputies, and S7 prosecuting attorneys with assistants.

It has a state bureau of criminal apprehension, which collects finger-prints, photographs and other data concerning violators of the law. Attached to the bureau are a number of men who can be sent in any county in the state for police work, on the request of the sheriff in that county. Law enforcement would be greatly improved if the work of these various- existing forces could be coordinated. I ask that appropriation be made for the addition of 12 police officers to the department, with salaries equal to the salary now paid to investigators employed by the bureau. In co-operation with the sheriffs and peace officers of the various counties of Minnesota, these men could be detailed, at the request of such sheriffs, to districts within the state for continual service therein, in assisting local sheriffs and peace officers and In bringing about through co-ordination of the work of the law enforcement officers of each district, with the state bureau as a central unit.

Minnesota being the only state In the United States wherein counsel for the defense has the closing argument to the jury, I recommend that the prosecuting attorney be given the right by law to reply briefly to the argument of the counsel for the defense, in conformity with the practice In the federal courts. I recommend that county attorneys be given the power to file informations in all criminal cases after the opportunity for preliminary examination has been given the accused in such cases. To promote the rehabilitation of persons incarcerated in penal institutions, and to provide for a more scientific system of parole, I recommend the establishment of a full-time parole board, appointed by the governor for a definite period of time, and whose membership shall not include the head of any penal institution. 3, which has been so much discussed. rom 'tb, moneys realized from the 1 18 or w' aside or tmbe'" purposes under the auxiliary forest Council Board Recommends I was one of tn authors of thatj gasolin tax.
