LANSING. Mich.. Jan. 8. Governor
Chase 8. Oeborn, of Michigan, submitted
his first message to the Legislature to
day. More than 40 recommendations are
made, covering a wide range, among
which the most Important are:
Placing express companies under con
trol "of ths Stats Railroad Commission.
Fare of IS cents for passeiVers north
of the Straits of Mackinac.
Mining royalty and Income tax, also
income tax for corporations
The initiative and referendum and re
call. On the liquor Question the Governor
says:
Temperance Is a matter of personal
discipline and Is more of a moral and
nrl.l nmhlom than OolltlCal Question.
"Government by saloon and ewe
must go. In communities wnere saioons
exist there should not be more than
one to 1000 population and breweries
should be divorced from their ownership.
-Michigan seems to have a weakness
for state boards;" continues the Governor.
"It Is true the state has yet no trustees
of wash basins or tooth brushes, but If
we keep on as we are going, there will
be nothing from fish-eyes to fox-tails
that will not be supervised by a board."
OREGOX PLAN KECOM JIEXDED
Governor Foss Recommends Pro
gressive" Measures In Message.
BOSTOJf. Jan. S. Direct nominations
and direct legislation were strongly
urged in the first message delivered by
Governor Foss after his Inauguration to
day. He said:
"We have reached a crisis in the af
fairs of this commonwealth. It is a
crisis which our lorm of government
Is facing today not only In Massa
chusetts but in every state of tho
Union. Thia crisis is all the more
marked In our state because Massa
chusetts Is the birthplace of popular
government. The people In all sections
of the country have lost confidence In
many of their public servants. The
dictatorship by political bosses and by
representatives of special Interests is
hotly resented, for these men desire to
control public servants and to direct
legislation to their own ends.
"This usurpation of power can only
be ended by the people taking into their
own hands the direction and control of
their government. The first step is to
abolish the boss and all hs agencies,
the caucus, the nominating convention
and all political machinery which in
tervenes between the people and the
government. All candidates for public
office, without exception, must be chos
en by the people through the direct
primary. To that direct primary must
be Joined tha power of recall, so that
any public servant who proves recre
ant to his trust may be immediately
dismissed
Governor Foss then said labor should
be exempt from unfair injunction re
strictions, that compensation of labor
should be above a bare living and that
the hours of labor should be rigidly
defined and limited.
Home rule for cities was advocated
and the recommendation was made
that an municipalities within a radius
of ten miles be connected Into a great
er Boston, organized on the borough
plan.
"The use of money In our elections
has become a great evil." said the Gov
ernor, "for it amonnts to a substantial
denial of the privileges of a man of
moderate means to aspire to any pub
llo office In ths commonwealth: or else
it overwhelmingly tempts him to make
his secret peace with those private In
terests which will finance his cam
paign if he will serve them in office.
To correct this evil it la necessary to
prohibit those methods of campaigning
which cost so much money."
The Governor recommended legisla
tion calling for the popular nomination
of United States Senators.
COTERXOR BASS IS RADICAL
"Progressive" Xevr Hampshire Ex

CONCORD, N. H- Jan. 6. Nominated at
the primary through the victory of the
"progressive" wing of the Republfcan
party and elected Governor of New
Hampshire last November. Robert P.
Bass took the oath of office today, and in
bis Inaugural address made many radi
cal recommendations.
OREGOX IDEAS ARE FAVORED
Governor Marshall for Referendum
and Corporation Laws.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. E. In his mes
sage to the Indiana Legislature today.
Governor Thomas R. Marshall told the
members "to be careful of the man who
wanted to show them a good time the
day after he had been Introduced," and
also beware of the "high flyer."
Mr. Marshall recommended the re
peal of the county option law, the en
actment of a direct primary law and
a referendum act giving the voters the
right to approve or reject measures
passed by the Legislature.
He recommends that corporations be
A Fire Back
Guaranteed
For Five Years
IF YOU burn coal, the Fire
Back of the Charter Oak
Stove or Range you buy is
guaranteed for five years. If you
burn wood it is guaranteed for
twenty years. It will more than
likely last for double that time,
but we insure its life to prove
the integrity of the stove you
put your money in.
Charter Oak
Stoves a. iad Ranges
for sixty -three years have been doing
more than their duty in the best portion
of our American homes.
Primarily Charter Oak Stoves and
Ranges are built to give the necessary
volume of heat with the least consumption
of fuel. This they do. But more than
that they are constructed artistically
with graceful designs handsomely orna
mented and well and accurately balanced
throughout.
Why put up with a stove that is not
a reliable beat producer, or that does not
bake even or cook steadily? Why invest
your money in something that eats up
tons of coal and gives you no return?
A Charter Oak in your home provides
you with all the heat you require, yet it
consumes a minimum amount of fuel.
You can regulate the volume of heat to
suit yourself. You can keep your fire over
night and be sure to have it next morn
ing. It needs no attention.
It is made extra heavy and for over half
a century has proven its lasting strength.
Each stove is gas proof so that your room
or kitchen is not filled with unpleasant
odors. One in your house will improve
your home conditions and insure well
cooked meals.
If Inconvenient to ret to the dealer, write us

SO years, or since the completion of the

Discussing the general subject of
"progressive legislation," the Governor
said:
"We are bound to enact a direct-primary
law. Nominations for Governor
and Representatives to Congress may
well be made by direct primary, xn
my opinion It would be unwise to go far-
ther than that until the new system has
been fairly tested.
"W shall, without doubt, join other
states in asking for an amendment to
the National Constitution permitting
the election of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people. Pending the
adoption of such an amendment, I sug
gest the enactment of a law relating to
the choice of Senators similar to the
one now in use in Oregon."
