The two subjects that will a’traet the most attention are schools and The state U nway l*ehlnd in Its obliga tions to iho scho*l teachers and It would ►rern as If some way ahoukt l*e found to ratrh up. Th** Governor polrt* out two neither of which he recommends, lie his something quite positive to say about the school system, however, ar.d what he says j Is cerium to m* * t the approval of the few counties which are now tearing the principal part cf the burden of support ing the schools He thinks, and rightly too, th it counties* which d> not help them •elves In the matter of * hoola shou and not r **lv .iny help from the stab ll th r<?* fore recommends that the school lw be so amended th.it the amount contributed by th*- r.ite shrill not excead lI.WW.WM an ntially, and that no county which does rot raise by local tnxstion at I t*t 4* p r cent, of the amount It Is entitle*! to from the state shall receive any part of If. If this recommendation were adopted the amount of the s head fund during the com ing y*ar would bo Just about what It I** cow, li* nil probability, and would Incre.ia.* year by year as the counties saw the al -vanfag.s of the change, and the elate wo iid lie relieved of a very considerable burden. Asa matter of fact, a great many of -he counties depend wholly upon the state for their public schools A* a result. In those counties education Is at a low ebti. TANARUS: i- people -lo not appreciate th-- schools as they ought, nor as they wo -Id If they had to make sacrifices for them. F.vcry year thou-and* of dollars of the money of the taxpayers of this county and Fulton county and Dome other counties are used for the support of schools In countl-a wht- h make no effort whatever to main tain th* lr own schools, and whl- h will nuke no effort as long a the pr-eent sys tem Is In force- It seems to us tha* the recommendation of the Governor Is a good one. But will it have the support of the Begialalure? It Is doubt ful. The m- ml ers from the counties which depend upon other so- l lons of the state to support their e- bools are In toe majority. The Governor's statement In respect to pensions Is rather startling. It makes It clear why It I* a difficult matter lo re duce t:ixnti*-n more than $1 on the tl.ooo this year, notwithstanding the very con siderable Increase In the taxable val :es. Cun-id* rabty mor-than f<* 000 was pall "tit pensions at'.-l th* r- will soon l>e aim t a thousand moio pensioners on the pension list, their applications having been ap proved. It Is estimated that about 890 pen slonets have died within the last year, ro that the actual Increase will be some thing less than S(x). liut II must not be forgotten that Indlg-nt widow* of Confed erate veterans are now cn-ltled to pen sions. and the Governor thinks that within the next year or two the |>enlon charge will fench pretty mar 11,1)00,000. With such a charge—a charge that seems to In. crease Instead of decrcase-dt Is difficult to see on what ground the Governor hopes for a slid further decrease In the rale of taxation, even If there should be u very considerable Increase In taxable values He talks about miking the pension roll a rdl of honor—that Is. striking from It every one who has a comfortable Income or Is capable of earning such an Income—but pension history, whether national or stale, shows that white It I* pretty * a y to get on a pension list It I* practically Impos sible <to get nIT of It any ronetdcarblo per centage of those who have no right to be there. The talk about making the pen sion roll a roll of honor D Interesting, but not practical. The Governor has some views respe-t- Ing mlsdrtneanor convicts which are the outgrowth of the abuses to which convict* of this class are subjected In some of the counties. He wants all of Ihe misde meanor convicts placed under the control of the Frison CommtsMon. It I* pr-ibab’e that the abuses to which t .e Governor calls attention coukl he cured In this wav. but the count lee—this county, for Instance —which us* their convict* on publl- work and treat them human- ly might object to tho plan proposed by the Governor. It may bo that the Beglslatur* will find a way lo correct the abuse* p< Ini <1 out by the Governor without Invlung th- oppo sition of the counties which are not aimed at In the Governor - * r* comm, mint lon. No doubt Ihe whole state will concur In Ihe Governor's recommendation respect ing pai>er* nnd records rvlultng to the csrly history of )he stale There has un doubtedly been great neglect In this mat ter’ It ls not ino late lo face ahout and pursue a different policy. The paper* Mild record# to which the Governor refer# should bo collected, carefully sifted uid arranged, nnd. If not published at once, put In a place of safely. Th# Governor favors a constitutional am- ndment limiting the elective franchise to those posse-slog a ceitaln nmoutd of properly. The last legislature refused to touch this question of limiting the fran chise, and nothing has occurred to Indt. cate that this Eeglatature Is anxious to take hold of It If It should. It Is hnrdly likely that It would dial with It on the lino Indicated by the Governor. Still, It must be admitted that the Governor pre sents bl view# with considerable force. An Illiterate man who accumulate* #< nv property—a little home for Instance-. Is likely to he a more valuable cltisen thon one who never attempts to accumu late anything, even though the latter may lie able to rad and write. The foregoing se'm to be the most Im portant things touched U|-n In the mes sage, which Is a v#;y credmWe paper an.l will no doubt receive tnuca attention liven Ihe Legislature*.

A FORGOTTON AHKAIIWI2T. In his message the Governor recom mend* the adoption of two constitutional amendments—one relating to the ballot and the other to a change of venue, but there It another one that he should have recommend*d. laid he forgr-t It? W re fer to the question of hlennktl session of the legislature. The Governor la nil the time talking about the necessity for economy In con dueling the affair* of this state. In what one partlr lilac could there be greater tconomy than In biennial sessions of the Legislature? There is altogether too much law mak ing la th's male. The people are kept s*!rred in all the time by proposed laws of one kl'd end another which Ihreaien their Interest*, and they are taxed un necessarily for legislation which ts of no use to anybody. The greater part of ev ery session Is taken up In considering bill* that tire utterly valueless and are forcotlen as soon as they are signed by the Governor. Pretty nearly every stale has abandoned the annual session. This Is one of the few Staten that cling to It. though f r what reason It Is diffii ult to auy. Perhaps the politicians are responsible for It. Anyway, those who are really sincere In their de sire to reduce taxation should start an agitation In favor of one session every two year*—a session not longer than the se*s|ons under the present system. It Is probable that at least IVi.oo u year could be saved by means of biennial sessions, and that would be quite a sum of money to a stale that Is In arrears to Its school teacher*.
