Had the Legislature been convened. and loan oh
tanned, would have precptsted the State into
tenn OF sxtrsysg which would have been diff suit
to lsy aside. In two years from this time the state
would have been In o condition much embarrassed
as at present ii not in . worse condition There can
perhaps no greater misfortune betall young State
than large surplus in the treasury, produced by
loan IL puts the people and the government upon de-
lusive hopes, and starts system of expenditures that
cannot be sustained and continued. Young States,
lie Young and inexperienced individuals, never cease
seldom stop ~hile they have any credit left fhs time

~sud perhaps be beat for her to adopt q System Of
rigid economy At the commencement, so as to be
tain 70 me within these limits
As the Legislature has now NO constitutional power
Treasury the question arises how the current and ne
csasry expenses OF the State are to bs paid would
recommend that the present rate OF taxation upon
real and personal estate be continued and that
sonable reduction be made in the rate Of the capita
ton tax This latter tax has generally been consi-
der too high snd this feeling has materially dmin
ish'd the amount of revenue expected from that
'ource. Were the rate less, much larger amount
could be collected. i would also recommend tina,
Conpti oilers warrants be made by receivable in
payment OF all State dues aud that the Law requiring
that oficer these warrants be ndsd as sug
essted by him in his able report These warrants may
fall bel, W their Iar value but being Ade recev able
in tsyment Of the State dues thew will be Absorbed
BY the incoming revenue. and this amstsnce will
facilitate the collection of taxes aud great
appreciation in the value OF the II the whole
tmouIt Itued should be less than the amount of the
state revenue. then they will rice nearly If not quite,
to par value. 70 bring about this desirable state OF
things, recommend II rigid system OF retrenchment
the expenditures OF every department of the State
II occurs to me tina: the most rational just and
tain mode Of getting out OF debt is to make
pend less, and boriew none also recommend q re-

during the Psst year has been attended by many din
cult.s To start systen under ordinary ciroum.
ttsncee is no easy taek, bnt no new State has
been eLeompsssec with so many endorsements as
esii'ornia Our people formed a mixed and multitu.
dnous most from al sections of our widely extended
country, ard from almost every cline and nation in
the void, with all their discordant views feelings
eiudices and opinions; and thrOwn together like the
succen astemblsge of mighty army, had NO time to
compare notee or Interchange opinions Resides
this majority considered the .elves only temporary
residents, and had therefore, permanent interest
in sustaining the State government Serious resist
sone instances; and very unfortunate disturbance
occurred IT Sacramento City in reference to which it
would be improper to express opini the facts
Of the case will be inquired into BY the competent u
dicisl tribunals
The Gr.t session Of the LIZ gssture had ore Difficult
ties 70 meet than perhaps the legislature OF any other
state That body had no beaten road to travel
cate precse to follow Calitornia required new
syse adapted to her aud anon alous condition
What that new system should be- time and perence
alone could determine. With the experience OF the
past year before us, may be enabled to make
ful and necessary snendmen.s 1 have suggested
such az appeared TO me most important. 1t will be
doubtless nec.ssry to amend the acts OF the last
sion in many other respects; but would respectfully
euPgest the propriety Of making no amendments
c. pt where niesty required The people have nov
become accustomed to the laws as they are: aud by
making but few amendments a heavy amount OF ex-
pence n y be saved 70 the State.
