It is eloar, while nut no- j uleeting diseusHion of the two Is- ; sues uf his campaign that attract ed w idosprcad interest, does not ride a brace of hobbies to the ne glect of other matters of moment. There are proposals in his mes sage which deserve a separate dis cussion which will not bo attempt ed here. With some of them we already arc in accord In principle and as to others wo are open minded. Hut there Is Indication that the new governor will not bo content with dumping a message Into the legislative basket, there to be neglected or acted upon as the whim or fancy of the lawmak ers may elect..

We expect to see; the governor's Ideas put into the J form itf bills, in which form thev ' may be discussed later with bet ter knowledge of their full im port. An important recommendation that arrests the eye is tho estab- lishment of a state police force which would be used in enforce- ment not only of general crime laws but the special game, forest, I traffic and prohibition laws as well.

US TO YOUR NEXT BLOWOUT FIRESTONE ONE-STOP SERVICE which the new governor sets out as essential to carrying out the Joseph platform. Hut the governor takes a wider view of state affairs than the power Issue. Me speaks about the state's tianeiat status and bo recommends rigid economy in all state activities and departments, lie calls for the merging of "mul tiplied agencies" of the state ad ministration into single depart ments. He favors a standardized system of stato expenditures. All of those have a lies ring on the purely financial problems of the ! state government. It Is not possible for this news paper or any other to discuss all of those proposals within the compass of tine article. It Is suf ficient to say that we will dis cuss all of them during the term of I tie legislature, as each ono comes up before that body for consideration.

Presumably tho legis lature will not resist unduly tho ratification of the people's will on the power Issues but will attempt in good faith to write a bill that will ea n y out the provisions of the power amendment that was adopted by tho peoplo In Novem ber. In this connection It is Im portant to nolo that Frank J-oner-gau, the newly elected speaker of tho house, referred to tho man date given thu legislature by the people, when he delivered his short speech of acceptance yes terday. Hut it is likely that tho leglslaluru will attempt, in so far as it can do ho, to eliminate dangers from the power legisla tion. And so while tho majority uf the legislature may accept the people's will by cooperating with the governor in putting into ef fect the power amendment, it Is possible that on some of tho de tails there may arise some deter mined opposition, Tlmo only can tell. The governor's message breathes a spirit of restrained militancy. which indicates that lie enters t upon the duties and respouslbtl- ities of his office with a determin : ntiou to be his own boss. It Is I i ho natural endowment of a per I siii who has presided with un- questioned authority over tho pol j ides and methods employed by a large mercantile establishment. ! lint it may prove to be a handi cap in the governor's office, where the Incumbent deals with lcgis I la to is and state administrators as inn Is ra tlier than subordinates.
