DANZIG'S LOTTERY
BEGUN TO RELIEVE
CITY'S POOR ME
DANZIG (!) city fiillHM-8 i,f
this free purt havu approved a
plan to found an International
lottery hero.
They hope It will provide rev-
enuo to feed the wolf of economic i
depression which has been piowl
Inu about the Bales of Danzig since
tho old Ilanseatic city hecaine the
step-child of tho treaty of Ver
nailleH. With tho now port of Gdynia
thriving right across tho bay un
der tho patronage of Poland, Dan
zlE's unemployment figures mount
ed by 3,000 in December, bringing
tho city's Idle to moro than :!0,-
ooo.
Tho now lottery, which started
business at the beginning of 1931,
Is patterned uftor tho English,
"sweepstakes" system. Tho draw
ings ro to bo based on big race
events, the first being In connec
tion with tho English derby of
1931.
Danzig's share of the proceeds
will . consist of ono per cent of
till ticket sales; besides, five per
cent of nil sales In its own ter
ritory; ' City officials will super
vise tho draw and pay out the
-prizes.

Governor Meier's first message

probably take a rank of its own
for the variety and Importance of
its recommendations. The new !
governor. 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.. In ono. house.
... i
least, there is an organization up- j
parontiy formed for tho purpose,
of promoting the policies of the
administration. 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. Other important policies .
would provide for old-ngc pen- j
sions, free textlHjoks, consolidation J
of certain stute departments, a i
non-partisan judiciary, a model
drivers' license law, budgeting of
self-sustaining commissions, repeal
of the market road tnx, state bud-

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. Jt Is moro tho pur

vided on many of tho Issues which
he favors. 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.

cap in the governor's office, where
the Incumbent deals with lcgis
