the consideration oi the two Houses The SUBJECT o

The Governor next says that the first iastallment
Of the Hoosac Tunnel Loan has been paid, aud that
no expenditure has been made from the Emergency
Fund Of $4,000 appropriated ny the Legislature
of 1858. The law requiring the banks to keep 10
per cent of their liabilities III specie has worked
we'll The aggregate of specie IN all the banks has
been equal to more than 20 per cent. The Gov
ernor devotes page or two to the currency, and
is against any further increase OF bank capital
The expenditure for educational purposes last
wear was 81 474 4S5; children between aud 10
years Of age, 223 ,304, of whom 2lS l9S have been
In attendance the past year; this is an increase o
1916 in one year. The School fund IL about
al M ,,f nd
retary recommend its increase to S3,0Oc,COO The
Governor seems disposed to second this suggcstiou
and he recommends that the nrst pubic charge 10
be made upon the Back Bay property, now becom-
ing SO valuable and renunera'o 10 the State, snali
be for the enlargement OF this iund
The next topic discussed by his Excellency is
the poll tax You wili perhaps, remember that
by decision of the Supreme Court the poll tax
was largely raised last year-ih some places being
as high as 81 66 and 81 rs an0 this IN the SMALLEST
towns This is practically denial of the rlgnt ot
suffrage and the Governor recommends that this
tax shall not be assessed on minors, ano that no
porton of the State tax shall be assessed Ou polls.
The State tax can soon he abolished, or reduced to
a nominal sum. A uilt,Iy tax. not TO exceed one
quarter dollar in lieu of military service, Is agsin
recommended, but it will probably fare no better
with this Legislature than with the last. tdlnk
the Governor, by recommending that Tue attention
of the lA7, 900 enrolled persons shOuld be drawn TO
support of an institution which, IT 1t Is usefdl Tor
ANYTHING, il only useful for the protection OF prop
trtu, is not doing toe militia any service.
Turning to the important question Ot the finances
Of the State. Gov. Banks says that the public debt
presents no embarrlssments. Every considerable
difficulty arises from the temporary indebtedness OF
the state, aud the excess of current expenditures
over current receipts The loans to railroads nclud-
ing the recent lOSn to tie Tunnel road amount to
S4999 600. The public deot is as follows: Reform
School scrip, due July l. 1860, $40 900, State
Prison scrip due December |, 1850, 100000;
Iunatc Hospital scrip, due April i, lS65, S70,0o0;
same, due November I, lS65, SlOO,OOO; State
House scrip, due 1873 and 1874, 10000; North.
smpton Hospital scrip, due April 1865 Sl5O.O0O;
same, due July |, lo17, s1O,OO0; Lutatlc Hospital
and State Prison scrip due July j, 1874, S9lOO0
Total. SS0l,0(0 Payment is secured by apPropr-
alton Of Western barosd Sinking Fund amount
iug now to SSi,75t' appropriation of Western
Railroad stock, January, 1883, $105,0oO. Totsl
S7s9,7J6. Leaving "a Balance of $l4,24i, to be
provided for out of the future income OF these
funds The States claim for military services Is
also pledged but this is not available.
The second class of pubic debt is the State
Alms.House scrip, due lS52, 1873 and 1874,
amounting to $4,000. Payment is provided by
reservation of $4,000 annually from the Income
Of alien passengers. This will be sufficient. The
third class consists Of scrip issued in lo16, and ap
piled TO payment OF unfun5ed debt, ard is due IN
1854, lsG6 and 1865. This amounts TO $500, 600,
and this sum is provided for from the proces DIS OF
the lands in Bach Bay; S'92, coo of this IN now IN
the Treasury, and the rest Will probably be re-
ceiyed during the year. So the whole public debt
Of$l $4,000 is fully provided for.
The temporary debt requires attention. Up to
1853, with the exception OF year, the receipts
were equal 10 the expenses. The State tax had
