just noticed an interesting news story in relation to the present governor I was stating that neither he on the thighs are or responsible for the drop well I think that's right I don't believe that he'll mister eyes now are quite the folks that could hold back the rain clouds and such I am a little critical of this those drought conditions were used by the present governor to make many newspaper headlines the calling of the governor's conference of eight Republican governors you know well an item of headlines pretty much I think the only thing that was accomplished was a tremendous waste of flashbulbs while the photographers were interviewing those particular individuals if the interesting that governor Freeman of Minnesota lamps to be a Democrat wasn't also in this Midwest Conference of governor's what I think that the important thing to Iowa is our problems in relation to Iowa taxation to go back a little bit we must recognize that Iowa income has been decreasing rapidly in the past three years in fact and we must realize that the farm income slipped from its high earnings place in Iowa economy down to the point that it's only earning 16 and 4/10 percent of all the dollars earned by all the folks in Iowa so when we talk about progress we must talk about our people how well off they are individually how well they're progressing from an economy standpoint when we recognize that Iowa folks income is far below the national average in fact in last year alone with a national income up 7 percent Iowa went down 5 percent yet Iowa's taxes that same period since 1953 up to now increase from 146 dollars for every individual up to 170 dollars what we need in Iowa is not additional taxation we need more income for our our folks the tax problem will then take care of itself priced on the urge at 57th General Assembly to first take action designed to correct the present lack of balance and representation and second established a dependable method which will facilitate future adjustments in representation without the legs which are presented in recent decade therefore I call upon the General Assembly join with me in the establishment of an effective merit system for the state of our by creating a department of civil service I propose further that the department be administered by an appointee of director of personnel whose regulations would be subject to the approval of the three-member Civil Service Commission which would also be empowered to hear appeals in case of dismissal I recommend that the General Assembly give special attention to first an expanded research program designed to enlarge the markets for Iowa agricultural products and to stimulate the development this can be accomplished by shifting emphasis from activities designed to increase output to those designed to the expansion of markets and the retention of a larger portion of the consumers food dollar for the Iowa economy to the edits adequacy of credit available to agricultural producers that prevailing interest rates and farm income lolz many of our farm producers are hampered by inadequate credit third a program for the efficient utilization of water through the development of a more effective conservation measures more adequate information on the availability of water resources and a sound comprehensive water rights law which will protect the interest of all water users you put it in the nutshell our Republican administration is now proof for the first time in nearly twenty years thirty years I should say that we can have prosperity without war full employment outside of uniform and security without regimentation and control and we're proud of that record we believe that the American people whom we represent our proud of it to the American people are not going to stand still they want progress they want an administration which doesn't look to the Past they want one that isn't satisfied with the president but they want one which by deans even more than words shows the way to new and greater hope for the future it seems to me that the first day of the first Republican president is a particularly appropriate time for a mall to remind ourselves the fact that if we studied history carefully we would not need to be reminded of and that is that the Republican Party in its greatest days has always been and it is now and it will continue to be the party of progress for America you solemnly swear defend the Constitution of the United States President of the United States that I will my fellow citizens the world and we have passed the midway point of a century of continuing challenge we since with all our faculties that forces of good and evil or mass and harmed and opposed as rarely before in history this fact defines the meaning of this day at such a time in history we who are free must proclaim anew our faith this faith rules our whole way of life he'd be pleased that we the people elect leaders not to rule but to serve number one abhorring war as a chosen way to book the purposes of those who threaten us we hold it to be the first task of statesmanship to develop the strength that will deter the forces of aggression and promote the conditions of peace in the light of this principle we stand ready to engage with any and all others in joint effort to remove the causes of mutual fear and distress among nations so as to make possible drastic reduction of armaments and in our quest for an honorable peace we shall neither compromise nor tire nor ever seen this is the hope that seconds us onward in this century of trial this is the work that awaits us all to be done with bravely with charity and with prayer to Almighty God by cylinders your officers have taken me through the 10th where we have been where they are showing exactly how much feed it takes but to produce a thousand pounds of beef and put it on the city workers table I have learned a lot if I could stay longer I would learn much more and finally my friends I come today to pay my respects to the plough ever since I had the invitation to this meeting I have been trying to think in my mind of some instrument invented by man that is
