The constitution fixes the minimum am
cunt by which the principal of the debt must
be annually reduced. That amount is $780,
900 increased yearly by compounding at the
rate Of six per cent. per annnm. Under this
policy the State debt would not be exlin-
guished under forty years. Il would involve
the creation of new loans and an entire re-
organization of existing liabilities with our
public creditors. - s
: 1t is hardly necessary for me 10 recon-
mend an earlier payment Of the State debt
after the action on that subject, by the last
Legislature, which is believed TO have met
with very general appreciation. The ques,,
ton for you to determine is, whether II shall

thereby be saved, which, with the continu'
ance Of small rates Of ftaxation, will ettectu'
ally secure the extinguishmen, of the entire
debt as it falls due. If this course is to be
pursued, it is essential that it be so deter
mined at this time. :

The State taxes ioI 1919 ehoIhciuS tHe
school tax, which accounts for so great ap-
parent increase.
This statement exhibits the fact, that State
faxes have not increased as rapidly as local
taxes. The county, city, township and other
municipal corporation taxes, constitute the
greater amount Of our assessments. These
corporate authorities have heretofore enjoyed
an almost unlimited power of taxation. This
arose from the want Of that general attention,
which the subject has more recently attracted;
and from disinclnation OH the part Of the
General Assembly to interfere with these au-
thorities, elected as they are by, and response
BILE as their are to, then respective constituent
cies.
Since the new constitution, however, makes
lit the duty of the General Assembly'to restrict
their power oftaxation, assessment borrowing
money, contracting debts, and luanng theil
credit, so as to prevent the abuse OF such pow
er,' have not deemed 1t improper to call youI
attention TO the subject. The rapid increase
and enlargement OF these corporations in all
narts Of the State, render it one Of great mpor-
! lance. The laws under which they are organ
zed should be calefnlly revised, and such
guards and restrictions. imposed on the eXer'
else ofthe power referred to-, as may not be
Inconsistent with the efficiency Of their ad-
minstrations
The county taxes, as exhibed in the preced
ing statement, will also, no doubt attract youl
attention; especially when il is recollected
that very large portion Of the expenses Incl
dent 10 their administration is paid by fees, o
which no record, accessible to the public, II
kept The entire expenses Of the severa
counties cannot, therefore, be ascertained, MOI
can II be known without detailed examination:
OF great labor, in which OF them the admins
tration is the most expensive. There, as ever,
where else, the utmost publicity should be
given 10 all transactions Of public nature,-
! ii promotes economy and facilitates reform
while the addition of Offices, without sucf
publicity, only compicates the system. Al
! in mechanics, no power is gained by adding
unnecessary machinery; SO in government, !
is seldom that either purity or efficiency is IN
creased by multiplying officers.
In referring to there municipal corporations
it was not my purpose to divert your attention
fium the less Aagrant, but still rapidly ncreas
ing expenses of the State.
The following tabular statement has beer

Auditor. 1t exhibits, at single view, tht

affords the means Of an easy comparison

1t will be seen that, general as these esti-
mates wee, they differed but little from the
actual results. Had they been detailed and
specific, and aided by contingent appropria-
tions, as suggested, the results would have
been within the limits prescribed. Much
might thus have been saved, without imp air
ing the condition or in any way diminishing
the revenues arising from these works.
Financial fluctuations would thereby have
been avoided, and a greater degree of regular
ity impaired to all our peucniary tLansac-
tions.
Nor should omit to press upon your con-
sideration the necessity of providing for more
strict accountability ofthe various officers who
are charged with the expenditure OF the public
money. The Auditor OF State and the county
Auditors are the proper accounting officers of
the Government No one should be permit
ted to be his own accounting officer, and all
avenues 10 the treasury should be required to
mass through the proper accounting bureau.
A practice formerly prevailed upon the pub
lie works, in the Penitentiary, and perhaps in
some of the other institutions of the State, by
which the money of the people was expended
without the required and necessary control Of
the'Auditor Of State. II this practice has been
followed by no frauds or serious loss, the fact
should be attributed to the integrity of the Of
fcers. and not to the saIutary restraints impos-

y An examination of this statement will tend
to give direct efficiency to anyreformatory and
economising efforts, since itplaces the respon-
.ibility for whatever increase there has been
in State expenditure, upon the department OF
Government to which it properly belongs
Temporary causes, however, have produced
much OF this increase. 49,. 80 .-s
