to the people of Ohio and general assembly asked tor tbe co-oparation of all Ohio citizens in the new administration's efforts to solve the problems now Confronting the commonwealth He declared the situation demanded tbe exercise of tbe utmost economy in all departmental activities Strict law enforcement was pledged by the new governor who advocated the creation ot a state prohibition enforcement bureau He also recommended that tbe establishment of the principle of home rule In taxation be given immediate consideration by the general assembly with a view to early enactment of law that will carry It Into effect so far ns it Is now possible under the state constitution The Zero Hour heavy and unprecedented taxation and in the high cost of living generally demands that all government activitiea be carried forward 4 with the utmost economy compatible with good government and sound business Referring to former Governor Cox'b statement contained in his final message to the state legislature last week that the cash balance on June 30 last $9011132 is larger than tbe balance at tbe end of any previous year Governor Davit said: avoid thj possibility ot a misunderstanding 1 believe it sbonld be explained that this is not a balance that can be used tor general state purposes It should be understood that it consists largely ot special fund balances $8000000 of It belongs to tbe state highway fund and must be Bpent for state highway purposes Tbe high condition of this fund is due to the extensive retardation ot highway work in recent years only part of the balance quoted by my predecessor that is usable tor general state expenses is $93106378 the general fund balance on June 30 1920 This is the amount to which the general fund hag dropped from a balance ot $702630198 which it contained on December 31 1912 shows the crying need for the exercise ot the most rigid economy by this government" On the subject ot taxation Governor DaviB said: cities of Ohio for yean have labored under serious handicaps financially due chiefly to the rapid growth the increase generally of tire cost of all commodities and labor and the failure of the tax revenue' to keep pace with the changed conditions the other hand the rural eommuuUies must not expect to pay in Increased taxation any part of the cost ot operating the government ot the metropolitan centers It would be highly -unjust to the farmer to saddle on him a burden of this kind No solution of the financial problems is tobe considered which would compel the agricultural elements to belp support the cities The principle of the Smith one per cent tax law must continue to safeguard against such a Governor Davis expressed tbe belief that an effective solution of tbs pressing problem ot tbe cities with the farmer rigidly protected is to be found through application of the principle ot home rule in taxation under the application ot which each community would declare by vote whether and bow much they are willing to tax themselves In excess of the Smith law limitation so as to Insure effective malntainance of the various municipal activities Relative to law enforcement Governor Davis said that there is no longer a wet and dry problem and that It is the duty of all public officials to carry out the mandate strictly by iron-handed policy In the enforcement ot all He insisted that every possibility of laxity in the liquor law enforcement whether state-wide or local must be eliminated accomplishment ot this result lies In uniformly strict application of the Crabbe act in every declared Governor Davis uniformity of policy and practice 1 believe can be secured1 only by placing the task of enforcement Into the hands of state authorities through the creation ot a state prohibition enforcement staff Such a working force cooperating with local and federal authorities In details will at once assure a systematic carrying out ot the provisions of the Crabbe act throughout the length and breadth ot the state and will give the executive department of the government bearing the responsibility of enforcement a direct and definite means with which to discharge The Pardoning Power Governor Davis announced that It will be the policy of his administration to halt tpo free an application of the pardoning power and to restrict the granting of freedom to prisoners before expiration of their terms to the fewest and most clearly meritorious cases menace to society from indiscriminate discharge of habitual law-breakers demands an attltnde of firmness in dealing with prisoners in our penal the governor said of recent years indicates that a large proportion of the prisoners who are granted clemency use their regained freedom to re-embark upon their carrer of Public Highways Directing
