monthe when little revenue Is collected,
and have now reached the time when
our annual taxes begin to rome In, with
every obligation of the state promptly
met and we Imvo paid out over 1100.000
to our public echools. although pay
ments to the schools have not hereto
fore been customary at this period of
the year.
“While tlio taxes of the etate have
hern raised 2-10 of a mill, and our po
litical enemies suggest that this Is wliat
reform means, wtemay call their atten
tion to the fact that we have given
up *260,000 a year from liquor licensee,
and have added over $250,000 n year to
educational purposes.
Railroad Regulation.
"The legislature fully met the de
mand for the enactment of laws to
protect the rights of the rltlsen In Ills
relations to transportation, express, tel
ephone, telegraph and piddle utility
companies. When we remember the
fact that (he railroads alone collect
forty millions of dollars a year from the
lieople of the state, we must realise
the Immense Importance of this sub
ject. Every’ line of Industry l» de
pendent upon transportation, and every
titan engaged In labor Is affected by the
treatment given to the people from
companies belonging to this class. The
merchant enn be made or unmade by
excessive freight rates. The manufac
turer can be permitted to prosper or be
destroyed by them.
"The farmer can And the products of
Ills farm Increased or decreased In
market price and thereby his farm In
creased or decreased In value hy the
charge for carrying Ills products to
market. Shull corporations controlling
properties of this kind he left at lib-
erty to flx as they see lit the tux they
are to place uikiii the js-ople mid the
kind of service they arc to furnish?
Reform Net to Blame.
"But we are told that the effort to
effect Junt national and state regula
tion of transportation and similar com
panies has Intimated capital, anil
brought upon the country' a money
panic and that we are now suffering
from what has been done; that the re.
formers are to blame for the money
stringency.
"I do not accept ns true this claim.
"The country has been going at it
. reckless speed. Men have been buying
without the money to pay. Stock and
bond Issues have been put uimn the
market, and the money distributed not
to the propel ties made subject to them
hut to the speculators who handle their
securities. These conditions of them
selves must necessarily have come to
an eud anti brought financial trouble.
"It la possible that the light thrown
upon such transactions before It was
expected provoked distrust at the pres
ent time when It might have been post
poned n little later. President Roose
velt justly said that he was In part re
sponsible for turning on the light, but
he was not responsible for what the
light disclosed. 1 believe that the
financial trouble would have come
harder, a little Inter on. Imd nothing
been done to turn on the light now, and
to prepare for wise national and state
regulation.
What Caussd Panic.
"The effort to attribute the present
financial stringency to the reform cam
paign in Oeorgla comes naturally from
the men who make the rlalm. Their
chief stock In trade Is deceit anti they
are but plying their calling. What
troubles them really is that the ring
candidate for governor does not hold
the reins and the railroad lobbyists and
rallrond politicians do not dominate the
affairs of the state.
■'They cannot even longer manlpu
late the machinery of the Democratic
party to per|>etuiite themselves In of
fice.
"No Intelligent man believes that
turning the gung out In Oeorgta pro
duced a panic In Wall street.
Reviews Big Reforms.
Governor Hmlth at this point review
ed the big reform movement against
trusts and what hail been uncovered.
He told of tho prosecution of the oil
anti beef trusts, the Insurance scan
dais, and the questionable financial
methods used hy Harrlman In the Al

He then passed to the Oeorgla rail
road commission, telling of Its organ!-

The Disfranchisement Bill.
Governor Hmlth reviewed nt length
the disfranchisement measure and the
hard work necessary to pass it through
the general assembly. He said that If
the people ratify this act nt the next
election that he would feel amply com
pensated for all of the arduous work
of the campaign.
lie called attention to the fact that
Idle the legislature had for years at
tempted to enact nntl-pass legislation
without success, that the new commis
sion had passed an order, effective
January 1. taking away pass privileges.
He said that he felt sure the next leg
islature would enact untl-lobbying leg
islation.
Opposes Early Primaries.
1’pon the subject of early primaries,
Governor Hmlth said:
"I favor legislation which will change
the time either of the‘sessions of the
legislature and the inauguration of our
state house officers, or the time when
the representatives of the people are to
be chosen.
It Is a mistake to nominate mem
bers of the legislature in the spring of
one year when another session of tho
xisting legislature .Is still to be held,
and when the newly chosen legislators
will not-take office for from fourteen
to sixteen months after they are se
looted. It is Important that these
hanges should take place before our
next election. If the state Democratic
omndttee und the county Democratic
ommlttees would postpone all nomina
tions until after the legislative session
next summer. It might do to wait for
legislation upon the subject until the
regular session.
"I hardly think there Is any danger
In the present condition of affairs from
contributions by corporations to our
politics next year. Our state and
county committees would have author
ity to compel all candidates to file
statements, under oath, showing what
they had spent, how they spent It and
where they got the money.
"I advocate legislation to fix the time
of our state primaries, giving them the
same certainty which attaches to the
regular elections, and making it Im
possible for state or county executive
committees to bring them on early or
late just to please men seeking the of
fices. The people are entitled to know
long in advnnce when the primary elec
tion will take place, and a statute of
the state should make the day abso
lutely certain.
"The Democratic state commltton will
naturally meet at an early day. I trust
county committees will postpone action
until the time Is fixed by the state com
mittee for action throughout tho state.
Of course, I recognize the fact that
the county committees would not be
controlled by the action of the state
committee, yet If they knew the time
which he state committee fixed for he
state primary, I believe a grout majori
ty of them would save the people the
trouble of two elections, und bring on
their county nominations at the same
time.
Rule of the People.
"We cannot regard as too Important
our state primaries. They, must be
made the-free opportunity for the full
expression oj the wishes of the j»eople.
Good govertufifeAt depebds upon the ex
pression of popular choice* and can
only be made |>eriminent when political
manipulation gives way to the will of
the qualified voters.
-The next legislature should be filled
with representatives who wear no
badge of service other than devotion
to the state und their fellowmcn. You
know who are really moved by the de
sire to serve and who serve chiefly
some machine or corporate master.
Let us strive to make outs a model of
good government In the interest of oil
the people of our state."
