LEGISLATURE MEETS
Georgia Solons Assmble at Cap*
ital and Proceed to Business.
GOVERNOR CANDLER’S MESSAGE
A Strong and Comprahenaiva Docu
ment the Keynote of Which Is
Retrechment and Reform All
Along the Line.
Both branches of the Georgia gener
al assembly convened at Atlanta Wed
nesday morning In annual seesloa. The
attendance was large and the business
before both houses was commenced
without delay and proceeded with dls
patch.
The feature of the session* In both
the house and senate was Governor
Candler’s message. After the prelimi
naries attendant upon every opening
session of the general assembly the
message was received from the execu
tive office and Its reading begun, which
consumed about an hour.
The message is regarded by the
members as a very strong document—
one of the strongest he has ever sent
to that body. It comprises the issue*
before the state and makes strong and
! vigorous recommendations to the leg
islature.
Immediately after the reading of tba
message in the senate that body ad
journed. The house, however, remain
ed in session.
The house took up the electiou of
a messenger, which resulted in Mr.
Thomas Penn, of Jasper county, being
elee ed. On the first ballot there was
no choice. During the second ballot
all Ike names except that of Mr. Penn
were withdrawn.
During the roll call for new i-nslnes*
trere were many i.ew bills pr6t» t
and read for the first time.
New Messenger Has History.
; Mr. 5’. R. Penn, of Montlcello, Ja*
per county, who was elected messen
gcr ot the house, has a good history.
He served on the Tallahassee, one of
tUe famous privateers of the Confeder
ate states. Captain Wood was com
manner. The Tallahassee ranked next
to i; '- c Alabama in doing damage to tk«
enemy’s ships, capturing slxty-two
vessels on one trip, the Adriatic among
others, which had on hoard five hun
foreigners coming to America to
enlist in the Federal army.
Since the war he has lived in Jas
per county, having been sheriff of the
county and superintendent of public
roads,
His wife and daughters, Miss Maud*
and Martha Penn, own, edit and pub
lish The Jasper County News.
The Governor’s Message.
The governor introduced his recom
mendation with a brief prologue to
the effect that the state Is In an es
pecially flourishing industrial condi
tion.
The principal and more important
features of the document are here
given:
The taxable values of the property
of the state has increased 4$ 1-9
millions cf dollars In the last three
years, and the credit of no state In
the union is better than that of Geor
gia, she having had no difficulty la
borrowing to pay arrearages due her
teachers up to the final limit prescrlb
ed in the constitution, and at the re
markably low rate of 2 per cent per
annum, and this, too, from her own
banks, not a dollar having been bor
rowed outside her own borders.
For full and detailed information
as to the operation of the various de
partments cf the state, the governor
refers the general assembly to the re
ports of the heads of those various de
partments. He takes occasion, how
ever, to declare that all of them have
been ably and economically conducted,
and that several, notably the unlver
city, are flourishing now as they never
florrisbed before.
Condition of the Treasury.
From the reports of the comptroller
and the treasurer, herewith submitted,
it will be seen that the toal receipts
at the treasury for the fiscal year end
ing on the 30th day of September were
$3,804,195 and the total disbursement*
for the same period were $$,489,61#.
The amount of cash in the treasury
on the 30th of September was $730,72$.
Of this amount $100,000 was sinking
fund and $444,208 money derived from
the sale ot public property, and is not
available for general purposes. Henca
nctual cash in the treasury avaM
able for general purposes September
SC tU was $186,514.
The total of all appropriations from
the state treasury is detailed at
length.
For next year, 1902, the deficiency
be this amount augmented by
$145,000 to pay pensions to 2,925 new
pensioners, including the Indigent wid
owg . wUo se names have been added
to the pension rolls during the year;
$24,000 to be paid for Insurance and at
least $20,000 for the support of the
state troops; in all a total deficiency
for the year 1902 (If no new appro
priations are made at this session)
of $263,000.
There are three ways in which it is
possible to meet these deficlewde*—
raise your rate of taxation, reduce
some of the appropriation* made at
your last session or apply the publle
property fund now in the treasury
to the payment of tba interest on the
public debt
DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA.. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 3R H)()i.
The governor submits figures and
statements to show the utter inade
qaacy of the contlugent fund, and
urgea that rewards be not longer paid
from it, but from the fund arising
from the hire of convicts.
Public Schools.
It is my duty again to call the at
tention of the general assembly to
the unsatisfactory working of our
common school system. For many
rears past the funds collected by
taxation for the support of the schools
in any given year have hart to he ap
plied almost entirely to the payment of
teachers for work done the year be
fore, thus leaving but little to support
the schools for the current year. To
remedy this evil as far as possible
the legislature in 1897 passed an act
authorizing the treasurer to advance
to the school fund out of the general
fund In the treasury on the 1st day of
April In each year $406,(100 to be i'e
turned to the general fund out of the
school taxes when collected during the
following fall and winter. This he
was able to do. because there was al
ways in the treasury on the 1st day of
April the sinking fund of $100,000.
and the fund derived from the sale of
public property approximating $300,
#00, both dedicated to the payment of
the bonded debt, neither of which
would be needed for this purpose un
til the amount loaned to the school
fund In the spring would be paid back.
In this way, and by resorting In two in
stances to temporary loans, the teach
ers were partially ]>aid, but for the
hulk of their earnings they had to
wait till the end of the year. At the
beginning of the present year the
amount available for the payment of
teachers, exclusive of these two funds,
was but little more than sufficient to
pay them for one month's work, and
ths state treasurer, doubting the con
stitutionality of the use for any pur
pose, even temporarily, of funds set
apart for the payment of the principal
and Interest of the bonded debt, de
clined to advance to the school fund
any part of these funds and declined,
after he had exhausted the balance
of the school fund remaining after
paying arrears due teachers for last
year's work, to pay my warrants drawn
on him to pay teachers.
To settle the question finally, I di
rected the attorney general to bring
mandamus proceedings against the
treasurer, and let the supreme court
settle the question. This he did, and
the court sustained tho position of
the treasurer. Up to this time the
teachers had been paid for only one
month’s work and there was In the
treasury available for the support of
tho schools only $77,00(1. To supple
ment this sum and pay the teachers for
another month's work, or as much
thereof as possible, I borrowed two
hundred thousand dollars—all I was
permitted by the constitution to bor
row—and paid them 75 per cent of
their second month's earnings. Thus
they have been paid about $662,000,
and there will be due them at the end
of the year about $840,000, to which
must be added the $200,000 borrowed
and paid to them. When this is done
the total indebtedness of the state on
account of free schools will be about
$1,040,000, which has to be provided
for somehow or other, and this trouble
will recur year after year till the gen
eral assembly applies a remedy. In
another part of this message I have
suggested what seems to me to be
the only feasible way of paying off
and getting rid of this annually recur
ring deficiency in school revenues.
I therefore recommend that the law
be so amended as to fix the state
school fund at $1,000,000 per annum,
to be distributed among the counties
as now provided by law, but that the
amount apportioned to no county shall
be available until that county shall
have raised by taxation upon the tax
able property within its own borders,
an amount not less than 40 per cent
ot its share of the state school fund.
We Must Retrench.
In 1883 the state tax levy was $2.50
on the thousand, but steadily increas
ed year after year till in 1898 it bad
reached $6.21 on the thousand, not
withstanding the taxable values of the
property of the state had in the mean
time increased more than a hundred
millions ot dollars. The Increase in
the county rate In most of the counties
had kept pace, as Is almost invariably
the ease, with the increase in the state
rate, and when to these heavy state
and county levies was added In the
towns and cities a constantly Increas
ing municipal rate, these accumulated
taxes became so onerous that the tax
payers justly complained under the
burthen,and all over the state there
was a demand for retrenchment. He
lievlng this demand to he Just, and
that the people ought not to be so
heavily burthened, I, in a special mes
sage to the general assembly In So
vember. 1898, urged retrenchment, and
the greatest possible reduction In the
state tax rate. To this end I recom
mended that the pension laws be so
amended aa to grant pensions only to
"thoie Confederate soldiers and those
widow* of Confederate soldiers who ac
tually need the aid ot the state to
supply their necessities and save them
from want.’’ I also advised that the
art. of a former legislature adding,
on paper, to the, common school fund
$4(K),<XXI, but providing no means of
paying It be repealed. After much
filaeuaslon the pension laws were left
Intact and the direct appropriation
from the state treasury for the support
ot the common schools was fixed at
$ 1 * 0,000 In addition to the poll taxes
the specific taxes, the hire of eonriet*.
the half rental of ths .tats road, etc.
Ihue w# were enabled to reduce
tax rate tor the year 1899 from $ 6.21
to 9S.U, and for tbe year 1909 to
IU 4 '
j Taxes should not he increased for
any purpose whatever, except those
named in the constitution. We must
: therefore reduce appropriations from
tho public treasury.
We cannot reduce appropriations to
j flay the principal and interest on the
( public debt, for these are fixed charges
Ihat must be met at whatever sac
rifice. We cannot retrench in appro
priations for the support of the civil
establishment, for the government of
no. other state in the union of the size
and importance of Georgia is admin
istered at less cost. We cannot afford
to starve out institutions for tile blind,
the deaf, the insane, for this would be
cruel and inhuman. In a word there
are but two appropriations we can re
duce so as to make any reduction In
the tax rate—the one for schools, the
other for pensions. These two objects
absorb nearly two-thirds of the entire
income of the state. You may abolish
every salary In the state and require
every officer, legislative, executive and
judicial, to work for nothing, and you
would not reduce to any appreciable
extent the rate of taxation, if appro
priations such as have bien made in
the recent past for schools and pen
-ions continue to be made. Rut for
these two drains on the treasury the
sta<e government could bo supported
and ample provision made for the pub
lic debt without levying a dollar of
property tax.
The rental of the state road, the li
cense and specific taxes, ami the hire
of the convicts, would pay all else and
there would be a surplus left. 1 re
peat therefore, that the only places
where the knife can be applied Is to
the appropriations for schools and
pensions.
The says that, the only ob
jection he has heard to a revision of
the pension laws as suggested is that
it will force applicants to take the pau
p: i 1 oath, which objection, he says, Is
not. valid, tor the reason that old age
is not objectionable,' and honest pov
erty, tome of four years of devotion
in the prime of life to the stale, Is no
disgrace.
In opposition to the proposition to
divide the cost of maintaining the pub
lic schools between the slate and the
counties there are, says the governor,
but two possible arguments, and in
his opinion neither of them are good.
1 therefore recommend that an
amendment to tho constitution he sub
mitted to the people at the next gen
eral election authorizing the Issue of
a sufficient amount of 3 per cent state
bonds to pay the arrearages due teach
ers. these bonds to lie paid off at. the
rate of a hundred thousand dollars a
year out of the rental of the stale
road, until all are paid. The remain
der of the rental after applying a
hundred thousand dollars annually to
the payment of the bonds, to be ap
plied as now, one-half to the school
fund and the other half to general
purposes.
The governor recommends an appro
priation of $20,000 for the maintaln
ance of the state troops, and urges
that the Insurance money collected
on lh<- Soldiers' home be immediately
appropriated for the rebuilding of the
institution, and that $_-i,o(IO more be
given to maintain the veterans during
the year.
He urges that the legislature put
insurance deposits back to the old tig
lues—$25,000, for fire companies and
$50,000 for surety companies of any
character.
Constitutional Amendments.
That some important changes in our
organic law are desirable most intelli
gent persons are agreed, and with this
sentiment 1 am in full accord.
The ballot should be restricted.
Provision should be made for bl
ennial sessions of the general assem
bly.
A maximum rate of state taxation
should be fixed in the constitution.
A rule should be prescribed requir
ing that all appropriation bills be pass'
; <'<1 and submitted to the governor riot
lev; than ten days before the < xplra
] tion by limitation of the session, a.
a safeguard against hasty and extrava
gant appropriation of the public
money,
The governor and the judges of the
superior courts should be given power
to order a change ul venue In certain
eriminal eases.
The machinery for authorizing the
collection of local taxes for the support
of common schools should be simuli
fled.
Other changes not so Important
have been suggested,
Ho urges tnat a law relieving the
colleges of the state from taxation
he enacted; he suggests the jiassage
of such legislation as will permit a
change of venue in trials for assault
and other capital felonies when there
i is danger of mob violence; he suggests
a parole law like unto Ohio’s; he asks
that action b<- taken providing for the
preservation of the state archives,
In conclusion, the governor states
that, he has been able in his message
to only refer to a partial Hat of the mat
ter.-: about which the legislature should
know, and invite* all members of the
j two bodies to call upon him for a con
! ferenee on public matters at any time,
