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 Penn were withdrawn.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, ARIZONA WANT8 STATEHOOD.
