Two Messages
Two governors of neighboring
stains, Cox of Massachusetts and
Smith of New York. have presented
to the legislatures of their respective
slates annual messages. and though
Mr. Cox is a Itcpublican and Mr.
Smith a. Drnmcrnl. in one feature at
least of their recommendations to
the lawmakers thvy agree and
plainly show that they have been

vtdxntion is strongly emphasized by
Governor Smith rccommcnds to
his itgislutiire u. tint cut of :5 per
cent. in the state incmuc tax pay-
ments which Will be due nest April.
He says that this will save eight
and a quarter million dollars to the
taxpayers. He says that it can be
done without interference with the
existing rate and that since the tax
blanks are already printed. to avoid
confusion it could be included by
law that the taxpayer make the 25
per cent. reduction himself and re-
mit the balance to the state.
Gov‘rnor Cox whose Imssagc in
his swan song since he has an-
nounced that he “‘11! not again be a

$14,000.000 in three years. The
state tax also has been reduced
from 314.000.000 to 811000.000 and

budget soon to be prcscnted will
make provision for further reduc-

procured it.
Mrs. \ussctt, who saw her hus—
band alight from the trolley car.
and who did not expect him home
so suddenly. was unnerved when he
appeared in the post cities with the
newspapermen trailing at his heels.
According to'hcr closest friend and
adviser, she had determined not to

Suspect Maneuver.
From confidential sources It was
learned that Mrs. Bassett had stated
that she was through with Barnett.
and that she had no reason torn-e-

ment and humiliation he had mused

to have asked hls‘wlte to divorce

_ Bassett declared his resignation

recommendation concerning the
cutting down of the state income
tax such as that urged by Governor
Smith. but he is little behind his
brother executive in reiterating the
need for economy all along the line.
There has never been any mystery
as to Governor Smith's opinion of
the \‘0lstead law. In his message he
suggests that the legislature present
a rcsolulion to Congress to change
the law. He prefaced the sugges-
tion with the following remarks;
The last Session of the
lure Incmoriaiized Congress by a
resolution to change the prism):

constitutes an intoxicating bever-
age as set forth in the \‘oistead act.

mittcd the manufacture and sale of
light wines and beer under the
careful restrictions set forth in our
legislative enactment of 1920. Sub-
sequuiti)’ the legislature further dc—
iincd the policy of the state in rc-
latlon to this subject by the repeal
of the state law. thch in effect left
the enactment of the \‘olsteéd act.
with both the State and Federal
government. and leit the prosecu-
tion for violation of the \‘olstcad
that this did not and will not bring
about a. change in the present (int.-
Iiition of what constitutes an intox—
icant. An amendment to the Vol—
stead act is only possible by the
Congress or the l'mtcd States.
Both Mr. Cox and Mr. Smith have
shown themselves able and
states of which they are governors.
Their messages in the main point a
path that the legislators may well
follow.
