O >vernr Northen’s lnu|tarl Address.
He spoke s fellows:
Mr. rresii'enl and Gentlemen of the General
AseemUlt/:
Belore I begin the duties of this hour I
must congratulate the people upon the re
cent brilliant victories won over usurpa
tion and wrong in the general gawerument.
Custom has made the law of this occa
sion. It is expected, before I proceed to
take the oath of office and assume the du
ties of the executive of the state, that I
will outline somewhat the public policy I
■will commend to the representatives of the
people, r e, lor a time, to direct the
interests commonwealth.
The oWect of aH government fairly ad
roinist*-**ty, iAthe good of the governed.
This is especially true of the theory of our
system both state and national. Its fini
iuudaiueutat principles are found In the
equality ot all men hefnro the law; un
tramm. led freedom in tlio ex rciso of the
rights of citizenship and individual liberty,
under u wise and judicious popular con
trol for the public good.
NO CLASS HAS SUPERIOR BIURTS.
In the republic and in the states we rec
ognize the superior rights of no Individual
and no class. In our system the law maker
and tlie* Rdtnlnisirator of the law,.at tin* ex
piration of tlieir brief authority, return
iiguin to the level of the people from whom
tin y received tlieir commission to control.
In the face of alt history wo confidently
hold ours to lie the most perfect theory ot
human government tho world has ever
know n. Of all others, it secures the largest
popular freedom, it oilers the highest in
ducements for individual efTort, while it
guarantees the security of the general good
under the safest and wisest control.
No human government ha* ever been,
practically, perfect. Onr system has not
lieen spared tho errors of mistaken Judg
ment, the evils of personal ambition, tin
demands of self-seeking, the power ot class
that burdens the interests of the many, the
unscrupulous tyranny of aggregated money
that oppresses the weak, and the centraliz
ing forces that destroy the liberties of the
people anil absorb, from the states,tho rigid
*.f local self control.
THE PEOPLE ARK THK SOVKURKIN.
PqbUc policy, both state and national,
should seek to restore the gov
ernment to its rightful au
thority, the peoplo; public policy

consistent with a judicious and economical
administration of public uffairs; in eleva
tion of the masses to the fullest apprecia
tion and the fullest exercise ot the privi
leges of elrixensliip and a proper and due
understanding of its duties; the best devel
opment ot our material resources the
broadest and most liberal support of the
state’s benefactions to^d
ness of all the people, w ithout distinction
as to class or condition.
The froeßt government is that controlled
by the least law ; the wisest government is
that maintained by the Jiest law. The
freest and tiest government, therefore,
combined, is that exercising the least con
trol under the wisest luw.
BURDENKO BY TOO MUCH LAW.
In my deliberate judgement the people
of this state are burdened by too much
aw. Under urhltrnry Government the
badge ot the officer, the awe ot the
court, the grim wul s of th i prison
and tho chains of tin* convict make tho se
curity of tlie community and the safety of
the state. With us tho safeguard is tlie
high American sentiment that exalts peace
and order amt law; tho abiding principle
that yields to every man the fullest exer
cise of his rights, consistent with the com-
m

men good and indexible justice that de
mands the equality of every citizen before
tho law. Tlie American idea train* the
peoplo to live, largely, without the re
straints of law, by the uniformity of its
operation, the justice of its demands, and
iite certain, speedy and adequate punish
ment for its violation.
As onr laws have increased, their uni
formity has been destroyed and the rights
of the people have been impaired. As onr
laws Have changed the practice in the
courts has been confused, and, in making
distinct ons where’here should lie no dif
ference, communities have been wronged
and the people unwisely burdened. The
Lest government, I repeat, is that con
-oiled liy the least law.
OCAL LEGISL \TION GROWN INTOLERABLE
Local legislation In this stnte, by
reason of its character aud i, , amount,
has grown to be intolerable. The cotisti.
tntiomil convention of 1577, foreseeing the
tendencies of the times, attempted to re
strain, somewhat, this apparent difference,
of interest. By limiting provisions for local
enactment. Tlie general assembly has
since sought to hinder this evil in our legis.
latiun, and yet its last session gave to tlie
state an amount of local legislation un
precedented in the history of our people.
The acts of the last general assembly oc
cupy 1.410 pages of printed matter. Of
these, only 104 pages are devoted to laws of
a general character, and 1,23t> pages are
given to local aud special laws, intended to
res'rict tbe rights and priv.leges of gtLzens
in certain counties pf th® state, In tb one
caae, and indirectly to enlarge tbe rights
and privileges of citizens in other counties
of the state in another case. Why this
difference of right und sift he same govern
uicut?
uENZPAL AND UNirOBM LAWS.
Not to detain you with further illiistia-,
tlon. You will find In the re
cent acts of the general assembly |
a special art for twelve counties |
in this Ptnts, that could have heen coven and
under a general state iaw that would bring
uniformity of rule ami ease of adjustment.
If such law is good for twelve counties, in
the restrictions It imposes, why is it not
jood for tin* state? If good for the state,
t should not be enacted with only local
force. If such law reeds to l*’t engrafted
i|mn cur system at ail, let it be done tin
ier general enae-tno nt, tlist onr govern
ment may be uniform and just, the work of
lie general assembly shortened and tlie
xpenscs of the state reduced.
If Hie State is to act without differences
•*d distinctions Involving rights, jt
should, in ail eases, act under uniform
iaw. Laws to be effective must, be impar
tial and just. To preserve the symmetry
of government ami defend, without il.s
tincUon, the rights of citizens they must
l>e uniform. The policy I commend for
your consideration would make flielawsof
the state few, simple, uniform and just.
Change in an established law shou’d
never lie made until the pub
lic good positively demands it. When
the government of the state becomes uni
form and established, tho work of tlo- gen
eral assembly will be greatly reduced.
t HAKTKRIMG CORPORATIONS,
Co-partnership in business lias now
given pace incorporations. Corporation*
demand charters. These, the Htate ha
granted without uniformity of privilege
and right. Otic bank should not lie
allowed right- and powers anil privileges
not granted to another hank. One railroad
should not exercise rights and powers and
privileges not granted to another railroad.
As tar as possible, let this legislation, also,
lie uniform, putting all corporations of a
kind tinder the same grants, with charters
obtained through some less expensive ma
chinery than the general assembly. Cor
jKirations will then be subjected to uni
form action anil held more completely
under the state’s rightful authority.
LOCAL LAWS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
A recent decision of tlie supreme court,
determining the uncoustitiitionality of
certain local legislation, affects, disas
trously, the agricultural interests
of one-tliird of tlie area of the
mate, while it furnishes sufficient argu
ment to enforce the suggestions I have
submitted, urging uniform general laws for
tlie government of the state.
Among tlie first duties of this general as
sembly slum and be tlie enactment of stub
relief as will protect tlie property that is
now threatened under the unwise local leg
islation of your predecessors.
ONLY SUCH LAWS AS AUK NEEDED.
If we w'dl secure onlv sneb ’egislation n
ts flVtsotuteTv needed l>y tno state and
Hilly observant of the rights of all the
people; only such local and special laws as
come under uniform general laws, enacted
by properly constituted local authorities;
(barters granted under delegated authority
and uniform stipulations; it will then be
possible to restrict the session- of the gen
eral assembly to the constitutional provis
ions and make them biennial instead ot
snnuul. Taxes will be reduced and the
burdens of goverumeut made lighter.
Looking to the economical administra
tion of public matters, our organic law de
termines the expenses of the government
In tlie fixed salaries of some of its officers.
I respectfully suggest uniformity iu this
matter also.
Let the general nssemhlv.mftiMr-it?. HFnt
j** ii—~uiwmDers a fixed salary for their
services, reduced to tlie standard they
have, for a long time, endorsed for others.
Tills will further tend to lift tlie burdens of
government from' the people and make
uniform the rewards given for service to
the stnte.
THK TRUK OB.TKCTB OK GOVERNMENT.
Civil government comprehends not only
the enactment of wise und just laws and
their impartial enforcement over an intel
ligent and virtuous peoplo, but it looks
hlso to the development of material
resources as the basis of our civili
zation. Whatever encourages general
industry *in tho stato marks the
state’s progress in power and in wealth.
Whatever makes fertile its fields, prosper
ous it- m mufact tires, thrifty its business
and secure its capital, advances tho en
lightenment of its people and makes the sta
bility of tlieir institutions.
One high duty of all gi v rnment is the
protection of the property of its citizens.
The policy, therefore, that seeks to n ake
insecure or destroy the legitimate invest
ments of citizens, whether individual or
corporate, lays violent hands upon the vi
tality of the state and the prosperity of tlie
people. Under the strongest protection
onr state will secure, my administration
will invite to our fields, our factories, our
mines, our railroads aud our shops, capi
tal that must make tho resources of the
state’s strength aud tho steady basis of out
•iviliz itlon.
CORPORATIONS TREATED AS CITIZENS.
I shall not tako part, therefore, in any
indiscriminate war made against corpora
tious in thin state. Corporations
are but the union of forces to de
veloji tho wealth of the state.
They are made up of individual
citizens, who do not sacrifice any right tc
protection under a combination of capital.
The same rights and protection guaran
teed to an individual citizen should be
guaranteed to several citizens when they
heoorae properly associated under corpo
rate power. Nothing more; nothin**
less.
It is not the policy of the state to build
its railroads, run its factories and work its
mines. Individual effort, individual influ
ence and individual wealth can never com
pass the (treat possibilities in our material
development. Aside, then, from its duty
to its citizens iu affording the strongest
protection guaranteed hv law, the advance
ment of the state, in all its highest powers,
demands the security and protection of all
legitimate investments, whether by indi
viduals or corporations.
DANGER or AGGREGATED MONET.
Having said this much, it be
comes me further to say, that
the greatest datig r now threatening our
government, both state and national, is the
power of aggregated money. It buys the
ballot and makes the law; it purchases
the citizen and makes a slave; it bargains
with class and oppresses the people; it pur
chases power and centralizes the govern
ment. Unchecked, it will override the
freedom of our institutions ar.d build upon
the ruins of the republic the absolute
power of a merciless plutocracy.
Inthe presence of growing corporate
po'ww, let every citizen stand guard over
tie rights of the people; tVery legislates
be true to the trusts he bears, and every
officer of tha law faithful to ths order? he
bolds; lest, unbridled, it tread out, in'mer
ciless stamps, the liberties of the people.
In the earlier and better days of the re
public, business began in partnerships and
grew to corporations, corporations nave
now united and made combinations.
Combinations have grown strong
and given us tlie absolute power o.
moneyed monopoly, absorbing to itself the
sustenance of the poor, while it dletati s
the policy of the government and over
rides, without mercy, the liberties of tlie
people. /
MONOPOLY THE EVIL Of THE TIMES.
Monopoly Is the monster evil of the
times. It is the con-trictor tightening it
folds about the body politic. It is the ty
rant ruling without pity and without law.
The legislation of the state and
ment should arrest and destroy Its aggres
sive power.
The peace and good Order of the state
depend, finally, not so much upon the effi
ciency as upon the administration of tin
law. The rights and liberties and property
of the citizen, in the last issue, must be
protected by the speedy and certain en
forcement of penalties for tbe violation of
law.
THE LAW’S DELAY.
Delays in tho courts, when flagrant
crimes have been committed, stir an out
raged community to violence, and to wrong.
It behooves you to inquire whether or not
the present law allows needless delay,
occasions needless expense and some
times defeats the ends of justice.
Criminals should not tie allowed
to abuse the law to the detriment of the
public good.* Tempered with mercy, only
where individual justice demands, and the.
peace of society will justify, the criminal
laws of the state should he strictly enforced.
The perpetuity of our system, aud the
illustration of its principles rest, at last.
upon the purliy of l i.e li.u ot. Wi.ile pope
lar sentiment rebukes personal ambition,
and the public interests forbid individual
power, the law must guard the bulUn
against the evils of both. Unawed by
force, untrameled by power, and unbouglit
by price, every ballot should express tin
unqualified clioico of a free man, a*,
together, they embody tho will of tin
people. •
THE BALLOT MUST UK FREE.
No higher duty rests upon the general
assembly than tlie protection ot the citizen
in the expression of his choice at the ballot
box. Under a pure ballot let us have every
man, elevated to office, the unquestioned
choice of the people; every measure advo
cated, subject to the unbiased criticism
of the citizen; then every law
enacted wil! be the embodi
ment of the popular will and
we will destroy the arrogance of individ
ual power, the tyranny of class legislation
and tlie centralization ot government.
By far, the most important matter in
volved in our state policy is the education
of tlie people. In a republican govern
ment, where every man is a sovereign, the
masses should be enlightened, and made
able to understand the duties of a citizen
and to guard, intelligently, tlie interests
of the state.
ILLITERACY IN THE STATE.
Illiteracy is, in no sense, an element of
security. It never can master the forces
that make progress and power. Ignorance
leads riot and vice, hand in hand, toilisturb
society, destroy business und overthrow
the government. The surest, foundation
for our system mqst be laid in the intelli
gence and virtue of the masse-i.
Until recent years it has not been the
policy of the state to educate its children
Now, it is a fixed provision in our funda
mental law. I shall nut stop, therefore, to
diseuss ctfuc£Vion h a 7be~onm
the fixed policy of the ' age and the uni
form feature of all systems, as it is the uni
form demand of all people. I shall, there
for.*, not argue against the policy, but let
one fact speak against its practical opera
tion, when I declare that illiteracy has
steadily increased in our rural districts
since the adoption of our public school
system.
In the interest and dignity and honor oi
the state, the general assembly should im
prove the practical workings of the system,
or the effort should be abandoned by the
state and left to the direction and injiiugt
ment of individual citizens. The state can
not afford to discharge such important du
ties so imperfectly.
. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE.
Our public school system has cost th*
State more than eight millions ot and iliars
and won for us, among the states, the head
of the column I,r illiteracy. The system
has fallen far short of the populai needs.
The times are now favorable and the neces
sity pressing for further aid, either by gen
eral or local taxation, and the general as
sembly should so provide.
Taxation by the state is hut an np.
propriation for tlie security of so
ciety, protection to property and the ad
vancement of tlie people. These ends, tin
general assembly cannot better secure than
by the education tg the masses. Our so
cial, political and material conditions al
call for the more general education of tlie
people. Looking, therefore, to the final
prosperity of the state in the elevation,
enlightenment and virtue o’f its people,]
appeal to the guardians of our liberty tc
prepare every child for the high aud re
sponsible duties of a freeman.
LONGER TERMS AND BETTER INSTRUCTION.
Four months for instruction and tyglit
months for idleness will not tit a citizen
for the duties that await him. If the state
carries forward, successfully, the great
work it lias undertaken, we must have bet
ter teachers for the schools, longer term
for instruction and better pay for the ser
vice. For the training and instruction ol
teachers, the state needs a normal
school or normal institutes; for longet
terms and better pay the system
needs more money. The governor ol
Georgia receives his salary when it is due.
The judges of the courts receive their pay
on demand. The members of the general
assembly receive their per diem upon t ali.
The teachers in our public schools are the
only servants of the state whose pay de
pends upon contingency and doubt. The
honor of the state demands a change. The
pooular mind is ready for it. All the in
terests of the state urge your favorable con
sideration of efficient plans for the better
education of the masses.
In all that elevates character, enlightens
the people, strengthens the state, equal
izes its burdens, adjusts its demands, en
forces its government, protects its citizen
ami makes proiqterous and content its peo
ple, the general assembly shall have my
untiring aid and tny full cooperation.
I am now ready to take the oath of office.
