Calling Attention to the Trcn*ur>’*
Deficit and the Present Burden
some Taxes, and Emphasising flic
Lessened Ability of Property Own
ers to Pay Taxes—Disposition of
Men to Evade Taxation by Conceal
ment Touched I pon.
Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 10.—Gov. Candler to
day sent to the legislature a special mes
sage dealing with the state's finances. He
goes deeply into the apparent deficit in
the treasury, and urges the legislature
to take measures of reform.
The message says: "For several years
past a spirit of liberty in the appropria
tion of money from the public treasury,
not warranted by the stringency of the
times and the ability of the people to
pay taxes, has been apparent, and fre
quent large supplemental appropriations j
have been made at the second session of
each legislature for the payment of which
no adequate provision has been made.
"We have, in our anxiety to provide for
the necessities of the institutions an. 4 ob
jects for which it is the duty of the state
to provide, lost sight of the constantly
growing inability of the people to bear the
ever-increasing burthen of taxation. Our
annual appropriations from the treasury
and the annual rate of taxation have in
creased year after year, while all values
have shrunken, and the prices of our an
nual crops and of labor and of all the
products of labor have gone continually
lower and lower, and the ability to pay
off all these has grown constantly less.
"Owing to the continual increase in the
Shrinkage in values and the disposition
of men to evade in hard times the demands j
of the lax gatherer, and to conceal from |
him such property as can be concealed,
the annual resources of the state have,
year after year, fallen short of the esti
mates. From these causes and the addi
tional fact that, in some instances, appro
priations have been made without adequate
provision for their payment, there will
not be in the treasury on Jan. 1, money
enough to meet the demands on it; and
this, too, in the face of the fact that the
rate of taxation and Ihe aggregate amount
of taxes collected from the people is the
largest in the history of the stale.
“It Is to advise you of this grave situa
tion that this communication is sent you,
in order that you in your wisdom may
provide by proper legislation to meet the
emergency and prevent a recurrence of
the condition that now confronts us. In
order to be fully advised of the real con
dition of the treasury as it now is, and
as it will be on July 1, I, on the 7th inst.,
addressed to the state treasurer a com
munication calling for a statement of the
actual available cash balance in the treas
ury on the first day of the present month,
the probable receipts at the treasury from
ail sources between that date and July 1,
next, Inclusive, and the probable disburse
ments on all accounts on and prior to the
last named date, so as to show the condi
tion of the treasury on July 1, 1899. This
date has been selected because at that
time the cash balance In the treasury Is
usually at its lowest.
“The statement asked for was promptly
sent to this department by the treasurer
and is as follows:

"From it, it will be seen that there will
be a probable deficit of nearly $85,000 on
July 1. In other words, the money now
in the treasury and !o be paid into the
(•'■usury lietwoen now and the last named
date will la k about $85,000 of 1 "ing suf
ficient to meet the legitimate demands on
the treasury for the same period of time.
In the estimate, is not included $400,000
which will be due the teachers of the pub
lic schools on July, 20, 1899, for their sec
ond quarter's work, for the payment of
which no provision has been made.
"In this connection it is perhaps my duty
to add that there remains approved by ihe
pension commissioner and unpaid for the
want of funds. pension claims to the ag
gregate amount of about $60,000.
“It must be borne in mind that these
deficits are ali for the present year. If the
same appropriations are made for the next
year, and the state rate of taxation re
mains the same as for this year, the ag
gregate amount of deficit on July 1, 1900,
will be at least twice as great as it will
be in July, 1899. Thus the condition that
confronts us is this: We must either re
duce appropriations or largely increase the
rate of taxation, when it is already greater
than it ever has been in the history of the
state, and when our people, especially our
farmers, upon whom the burden of taxa
tion largely falls, are. owing to the un
precenedentedly low price of their pro
ducts, less able to pay taxes than we have
ever been in the past. This is a grave sit
uation and it behooves us to meet it with
due regard, alike for the tax payers of
the slate and the persons and institution
for which the state is both legally and
morally bound to provide.
“I submit these facts to the representa
tives of the people for their considera
tion and prompt action, feeling assured
that they in their wisdom will solve the
problem presented without any increase
in the present rate of taxation, which, un
der existing circumstances, is already on.
erous, and all that our people should for
any purpose whatsoever be required to
bear. A. D. Candler, Governor.”
TWO CRIMINALS AH RESTED.
A Valdosta Officer Slips lip on Them
Unaware*.
Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 10.—The police of
ficers here captured two of the most des
perate criminals that have been caught
in this section in some time. Two negroes
named Will Payne and John Barker, the
latter being an escaped convict from Gress
Camps at Kramer.
The negroes were armed heavily when
captured, Payne having a Colt’s repealing
rifle and a forty-four army pisiol on him.
He was captured coming out of a swamp
in the western part of the city early this
morning by one of the night police who
happened to be at home at the time, and
without his uniform. He succeeded in get
ting the negro’s gun from him to look at
and then put the handcuffs on the darky.
The negro was much chagrined by the
capture and said to the officer: “If I had
known what you were up to, you would
be a dead man now.” The negro then told
the officer altout his pal, John Barker,
and stated that Barker had committed all
sorts of crimes lately, robbing several
stores and houses at Stockton, Milltown
and other places in the neighborhood. The
police set a trap for Barker and he walk'd
Into It later in the day, Ihe officers march
ing him to the prison under an armed
guard.
The negroes escaped from the gang by
knocking the guard down and taking his
weapons from him. It is said that heavy
rewards are out for the negroes, and the
officers are very jubilant over the cap
tures.
FIRE ON A STEAMSHIP.
Flame* In the Hold of n British Ves
sel nt Brunswick,
Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 10.—Just as the
last bale of the cotton cargo of the Brit
ish steamship Micmac was being put In
place this afternoon, fire was discovered
in the after hold. The department was
at once called out, and several streams
of water turned into the closely packed
cotton. The fire had evidently been smoul
dering for several days. The flames were
extinguished, after two hours’ hard work
on the part of the local firemen and the
steamer's crew. It is estimated that 150
bales were consumed, the total loss reach
ing about $4,500. The Micmac was consign
ed to A. F. Churchill. The loss is covered
by insurance. The origin of the tire Is
believed to have been purely accidental.
UIRGLAHS AT CONCORD.
Snfe of H. F. Strickland Company
Illowa Open With Dynamite.
Griffin, Ga., Nov.’ 10.—Burglars entered
the store of the R. F. Strickland Com
pany, at Concord, eighteen miles from
here, last night, and robbed the safe of
a good pile of cash. They were evidently
experienced hands at safe-blowing, as
holes wore bored through the safe doors
and dynamite inserted, which blew the
doors off.
Between S3OO and S4OO was stolen, and
as yet no clew whatever is had of the
guilty parties.

propriated to his own use.

ANTI-COMMISSION BILLS IN.
N,H. MfIJONOI'GH INTRODUCED A
BATCH YESTERDAY.
They Provide* for the* Repeal of the
Poliee, Water, and Park Commis
sion* and the Coinmlsaioner of
Public Work* La.w—Mr. Lnlloche
Introduces a Bill Governing the
Fleet ion of City Officer*.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10.—The first batch
of Savannah local bills made their ap
pearance in the House thi3 morning. Mr.
Laßoche introduced one and Mr. McDon
ough the others.
Mr. McDonough’s bills were those known
as the anti-commission bills and will
doubtless bring on the same factional con
test that was witnessed two years ago
when the effort was made to abolish the
Citizens Club commissions. The bills were
all referred to the special judiciary com
mittee, of which Mr. Roland Ellis of Bibb
county is chairman. No synopsis even of
the bills is necessary to understand their
import. In fact, they contain but a few
lines each in addition to the title. Here
they are:
"To repeal the Police commission law.
“To repeal the Water Commission law.
“To repeal the Park Commission law.
“To repeal the Commissioner of Public
NVorks law.
To repeal the act prohibiting the hold
ing of more than one office by one person
in Chatham county.”
Mr. Laßoche’s bill governs the election
of city officers. It provides that the elec
tion of ail city officers of Savannah, now
elected by the Council, of Mayor and al
dermen, including the clerk and sheriff
of the City Court, shall take place at the
first regular meeting of Council in Jan
uary, biennially. The terms of such offi
cers shall begin the day succeeding such
election and continue for two years and
until their successors are elected and
qualified. The terms of the present city
officers, including clerk and sheriff of the
City Court, shall expire immediately af
ter the first regular meeting of Council
in January, 1899, and the incumbents shall
have no right or authority to hold office
or exercise the functions of such offices
after said regular meeting. Any vacancy
in any of these offices which may occur
after the regular election herein provided
for, may be filled by the Council of May
or and aldermen at any regular meeting.
Two “meaty” tax reform bills were in
troduced to-day. One was by Mr, Free
man of Coweta, and re-establishes the
county boards of assessors and equalizers,
with added powers and some modification.
The board of assessors provided for is to
consist of five citizens, appointed by the
County Commissioners, or the ordinary, in
counties where there are no such commis
sioners. The assessors are 10 receive $3
a day while at work. The board is to
meet on the first Monday in May of each
year at the office of the county tax re
ceiver, and meet from day to day there,
or in other portions of the county, as their
duties may require. The lalxvrs of the
board are to be completed by Aug. 1, each
year, and the members shall not receive
pay for more than thirty days, except In
counties having 75,000 or more people,
where they may be compensated for not
exceeding fifty days. The board will re
view all returns made to the receiver and
assess, at the fair market value, all prop
erty subject to taxation, whether returned
or not. The tax receiver is to be the sec
retary of the board. The terms of office
of the assessors are to be three years.
Mr. Freeman also desires to have thirty
one questions added to those now asked
property owners, in order to secure full
returns of whatever they may own. It is
also proposed to require the tax receiver
to actually administer the oath required by
law before receiving the returns. The oath
is to be read by the taxpayer in the pres
ence and hearing of the receiver.
Mr. Swift of Elbert introduced the other
tax reform bill. It requires registration
of all notes and similar evidence of debts
before they are collectible by law, returns
for taxation to be based upon this regis
tration.
Other reform bills were introduced by
Mr. Brandon of Fulton. One is a bill to
base the payment of pensions to widows
of Confederate soldiers on their necessities,
so that no pension should be paid to any
widow unless her Indigence and poverty
make it necessary.
Another provides that no person what
ever shall be entitled hereafter to be paid
a pension by the state of Georgia unless
he shall [trove in addition to the requisites
now prescribed, that owing to his poverty,
he is unable to support himself.
Mr. Knowles of Fulton introduced a bill
to appropriate SIO,OOO for the textile de
partment of the Technological School for
each of the years 1899 and 1900, and $15,000
to enlarge the Technological School.
Mr. Park of Greene introduced bills to
give the state and accused an equal num
ber of challenges of jurors in felony and
misdemeanor cases.
Mr. Park of Greene introduced a bill
to repeal the act providing for the ex
amination of private banks.
Another bill by Mr. Park provides that
in criminal cases the prisoner shall not
make a statement except under oath, but
may be sworn as a witness in his own be
half subject to cross examination, and to
the other rules of law for the testimony
of other witnesses.
Mr. Calvin introduced a bill giving land
lords a special lien for rent on crops made
upon the land rented from them and on
all personal property within the premises,
this lien to be superior to all other liens
except for taxes.
Another bill by Mr. Calvin provides that
the destruction of a tenement by force or
other loss of possession by other casualty
shall abate the rent contracted to be
paid.
A bill by Mr. Beauchamp of Pike au
thorizes the trustees of the State Univer
sity to hold summer sessions in graduate
and post graduate courses for the benefit
of white teachers without regard to sex.
Mr. Calv.n of Richmond Introduced a bill
to make women illegible to serve as school
officers in this state.
A hill by Mr. McDonald of Ware pro
vides that jurors in the county court of
Ware shall receive $2 a day. inslead of $1
as at present.
Another bill by Mr. McDonald of Ware
proposes to abolish the Board of County
Commissioners for that county.
The skeletons of the general tax act and
appropriation bill were introduced to-day.
In the Senate, Mr. Wright of the Tenth
introduced a bill to authorize the commis
sioner of agriculture to appoint a book
keeper and stenographer when the busi
ness of the department renders it neces
sary, the salary of ihe bookkeeper to be
SIOO a month and that of the stenographer
S6O a month. The salaries to be paid out
