Our laws forbid aliens from acquiring and holding

residents, and intend slwsys TO resde IN the United
Sra,es and to become citizens thereof and that they
have take such ncpen measures as the laws oil the
United States require, to obtain DISQUALIFICATION. In
cones quclce Of this prohibition, special applications
are made ii Legislature. Instead OF sniDg such
spscisl applications, which has usually been done,
advise the passage OF ge neral law, or such an amend

il uiable occasion 70 remind the Legislature that
much inequality exsts r the valuations OF both real

adopted for the correction and equalization Of such
valuations.

has been for several years the custom for certain
EQUITIES 10 make application 10 the Legislature -
e I'd the time for the collection of taxes, which app
cations have ususly been granted. Being only par
tal, the operation 10 necessarily unequal and ought
TO be encouraged and discontinued.
call your attention TO the large sums expended an

II oUl III to be tie earnest object ard desire Of every
:, cd citizen 10 exercise whatever influence he pos
in sustaining any proper law for protecting tho
purity of the elective franchise by carrying into effect
q at part of the Constitution shch provides that
laws shall lie made for sscertaning by proper prosfs
tie citizens wbo shall be entitled TO the night Of SUI
fr .ge.' The pie of Of the older States ia
which laws for the registration of voters have existed
for very many years and IN which they are success;
fully snt easily carried oni, with the acquescencs and
approval a every one, has led several OF the other
States within e years similar laws, hav-
ing for their oject the registration Of all persons who

es' nt's 81 in securing Ia al citizens, native well
adopted the proper exercise Of the elective franchise.
To DO this is one OF the highest dnes of State, and
complying, az il viii. with mandate of the Consti-
'non, recommend its enactment during the present
