Conyers, Georgia, July 13. 1883. THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. 'Che following is a copy of the message of Governor ^McDaniell transmitted to die legislature the present session : To the Senate and House of Represents rives: It is the duty of the Executive t« corn tnunicate to the General Assembly, from time to time, information of the condi¬ tion and suggestions for the government of the commonwealth. I regret to inform yon that the Treas¬ ury Department of the United States has declined to pay the sum of $ 35 , 5'»5. 42 , appropriated by Congress in the act ap¬ proved March 3 , 1883 . “to refund lo the State of Georgia ce-tain money expended by said State for the common defense in I 777-” The First Comptroller of the Treasury hasdecided that this sum shall be credited on account of what b claimed to be due for the quota of direct taxes | apportioned to the State by the direot tax act of August 5, 1861 . This decision j : s, in oiy judgment, erroneous, snd I! have notified th ! Secretary of the Treus- ! i ury that the State does not acq-desce in it. If the taxes claimed are due, the ob iigation is upon the citizen and not upon the State, which has never assumed tiie payment of the taxes and cannot be just ly changed with them. All proper means will be used to secure the payment of the sum appropriated for the benefit of the State. The various matters submitted in the messages of my predecessors, in connec tion with the annual reports of State officials and otherwise, Bhould and doubt less will receive the consi leration their importance demands. I desire to sup plement them by inviting your attention to addi'ional subjects of legislation. The act of October 16, 1879, provides that “the Governor shall na»e and ap point a solvent, chartered bank of good standing and credit, in each of the ful lowing cities in this State, to-wit: In the cities of Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Rome, Americus, Albany, Hawkinsvilte, esvilte, Griffin and LaGranga, which Rtia ‘1 be known and designated a« State depositories” In pursuance of this law the foliowing banns were designated as state depositories, to-wit: “iLnk of Rome. November «8th. Savings Department Kagle and Phcenix Manufacturing Company, Columbae, Griffin Banking Company, November z 4 th. 1879 ; LaGrangeB'iikieg and Trust Company, November 34th, 1879; Citizens’ Bvnk of Georgia, Atlanta, November z 6 th, 1879 ; Southern Bank of Georg'a Savannah, December 2nd, IS79; Geoigia Railroad and Banking Company, Angus Decetnbei 2nd, 1879; Bank of the University, Athens, December 6 th, 1879; and the Bank of Americus, March 16 th, 1 SS 0 , each for a term of four ( 4 ) years ’ 'I lie Citizens 1 Bank of Georgia and the Bank of Rome have ceased to do ness, and die Griffin Banking Company. on the i8di day of April, 18*3 declined to receive further deposits of public mon¬ ey. The other banks named continue to discharge the dutiesassigned them. The act would seem io contemplate further legislation at thy expiration of these terms. Under this construction the power of the Ex. cutive to appoint de positories was exhausted in ’lie foregoing exercise of it. No provision is made, in terms, for subsequent appointments of the same banks, or other banks, pen¬ ding the ierm of four yeais, or subse¬ quent to the expiration of the term. It is manifestly unwise to leave a matter of such importance to Executive construc¬ tion. A mistake might involve conse¬ quences ot a nature too serious to be in curred without necessity. The act should be repealed or amended to conform to the conditions soon to ex ist- The policy of providing for the safe ty of the large sums of monev necessary to be kept the Treasury, at certain times in the year, to meet the expenses of the State Government and pay the public ; debt, must be left to tiie wisdom of the Legislature. If the present system is to be continued, I respectfully recommend that the taw be so amended as to pro vide for subsequent appointments under any circumstances which may require them. A recent application by certain emeries on the bond of aistate depository to be relieved from further liabi ity on the bond, upon the bank’s *iviug other satisfactory sureties, which it wax ready to do, suggests another amendment, 1 declined to release these sureties, for the reason that the act under which they signed the bond makes no provision for gucli release. The State could not be expected to incur the risk of a change in the bond, unless the sureties had con¬ tracted with reference to plain provis¬ ions for the exercise of such power by the Executive in his discretion, and pre scribing the mode of release so that there might be certain compliance with the law, involving no danger of litiga- Number 16. tion. The law should l»e explicit oii.thin imixit, to the end that the citixen sh'uid have no cause to complain that he was j ! subjected unnecesaar ly to inconvenience and tha* sureties signing such bonds may understand that they are bound, in at y event, until tiie bank makes full settle inent with the Tiewsurer. An embarrassing question has arisen , in the taxation of personal property of railroads located partly within this State and partly in another State. The rea ty 1 and the personality located in this 8tate muRt of necessity be taxed in this State. But much of the personal property of such railroads is located in this or anoth- j er State only by reason of the rule of law ; which fixes the situs of personality at ■ the domicil of tiie owner or, in case of a railroad, where its principal office is loca ted. In practice, a difficulty arises be- j cause adjoining States claim the right to *« 9uch P™P° r < 10 " '/ ,h f e " l > re P e ™ c * *»ty as the t number of m.les of railroad located within their limits bears to the • hole number of miles in both States. This would seem to be the rule of con venienceas well as of justice, and I re¬ commend its sdoptioa. The subject of taxation cannot engage too much of your attention Equality uniformity are substantially secured — ; n theory—under our system; but ex¬ perience proves that our laww for ascet taining the property liable for taxation and its value are de/ecive, its aggregate value being largely in excess of tiie an nual returns. The amount to be raised is regulated by the neeeasites of the State, and the rate is governed by the amount of property upon which the levy ia marie, ft in manifest that when a citii zen fails to retur 1 any part of his iaxa bl * property, or undervalues wlist be does return be inflicts a wrong upon his neighbor, who returns sli his taxable property at its true market value, by raising the rate, which the latter is forced pay. The remedy f»r this inequality may be difficult to apply. All systems of taxation are necessarily defective. Ours has been steadity improving, but the result continues to be unsatisfactory. Some remedy can be devised, by judi cious p.ovisions, for assessment, or by other adequate meant?, to secure an ap prosch to uniformity in valuation of ths ™ b return* '« P™P**T°I ofsll taxable * be people^* property, well and « ^ invite your earnest attention to the j » nd r * ther promote a feeling of satisfac tlon »mong the people, b«»asa of the lowfr rateof taxatiaa thereby made por B 'b le - In view of the reduction in taxation already effected by the watchfulness of the people and the Tabors of your prede cessors, without imparing the efficiency ■ 0 f the State Government, you c»n afford to give much study to this problem. We collect from the people of Georgia, for { State and county purposes annually, lees than one dollar and twenty-five cents ' per capita. The Federal government collects from the people of the United Ststes annually more than seven dollars i per capita. Contrasting these amounts wilh the beuefit , re eeived, we h-ive just j CAUae for pril i e It ig 9Urprising thal BO Uule iulere8ti8 mftn i fe8te d in the sub ject of Federal Uxatimt Bnd „ l>endi . tnrM . A iot()rea 5n the mom government should induce the peo¬ ple of ail the States to gtfve the same at¬ tention to this subject that they bestow upon local systems of taxation and ex¬ penditure. In no other way can our complex government oe adminittered fur the benefit of all the people.
