With t-o increased ability of our peo-
pie to pay, believe it is not too much to
hope that the receipts of taxes for the fs
cal year ending December 2lst. 1861, viii
be sufficient to pay every indebtedness OF
the State excepting her funded debt.
In conclusion Of this subject, and as a
general exposition Of our aims and respon-
sibilities, would repeat to you gentlemen,
remarks first addressed to your predeces
sorS:
at will not be expected Of US. that in a
single twelve month, We Shall discharge
every Indebtedness incurred in the past,
and provide for. every want of the future,
while ecOnomis.ng the expenses of the
present. We can at most institute a sys.
tenn of retrenchment and encourage a. poll
cy of economy, by which, if persisted in
for few years, the State shall be olsen
numbered Of her floating debt, her annual
expenses kept within her annual resources,
ard while the burdens Of taxation upon her
people shall be materially lightened, her
treasury shall yet have something for those
great public charities, in behalf of the deaf
and dumb, the blind and insane, which it
will be her enlightened policy, at the pro-
per tune, to establish and foster.'
imtiatory steps were taken by the last
legislature for a thorough organization of
the department Of Public INSTRUCTION.
Recognizing the intimate relation between
an efficient primary, school and an ultimately
great and successful University, the Legis-
lature entrusted the whole general super
vision Of the educational affairs of the
State to the Chancellor OF the University
Of Minnesota. s't
St. Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1861-01-11

The gross amount it will be perceived,
falls short of my estimate made January
I'd 1860, only some $2s0,o0. ,.
The wise reduction of the number Of
members Of the Legislature, and the limi-
tation Of their session to sixty days, will
work very satisfactory retrenchment Of
expenses, You may also bear.in mind, that
as yoar predecessors made q saving TO the
Treasury by providing for The limitation Of
all sessions, sou may perhaps be able to
add to their good work by making the
present one ia2oiious AMI short. .....
The Treasurer has prepared a careful
estimate Of the expenses for 1861, consider,
ably in detail Of ~hich I here present the
aggregate: e..
St. Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1861-01-11

Let your scrutiny of appropriations
keep the ordinary expenses within that
limit. and we may safely anticipate graft
fying record to be exhibited Of the position
of tha States finances in January, 1862.
The aggregate demands on the Treasury
during this fiscal year may be, then, quite

dent that the county never should have
been created. The territory now com
prised in Manomin, should be annexed to
one af the adjacent counties, and trust
YOU will provide for the annexation by such
means AS You shall find necessary.
The annual report of the Warden of the
State Prison exhibits the economical man
agement of that Institution during the
past year, notwithstanding the increasing
number of criminals.
From oversight no appropriation was
made for the salary of the Warden for the
year 1860; this, with small balance for
bedding, &C., and for salaries of
guards, will require the appropriation vi
one thousand, four hundred and ninety
two dollars, which should be made at an
carly day.
There are cells provided for twenty-five
Fifteen Of them are occupied
and the balance may be before the next
session Of the Legislature. Ii Wlll there
fore be your duty 10 consider what pro-
vision shall be made for the confinement
Of the convjcts when the present limited
accommodations shall be exhausted. the
number OF cOnvicts in confinement, it
should be stated, has increased eleven since
the last year.
1t is possible few thousand dollars iu-
liciously expended may furnish all tine in
;reased accommodation required, say for
period of five years, by which time, Eun
the increased population,
wealth, resources from swamp lands &c,
will enable the State to have an ample and
appropriate structure erected for its
wants.
The provisions, Of an act Of March 9th
$50 imposing upon the Warden the duties
previously dcvolving on the Warden, Dep
.ty Warden and Clerk of the Board of in
pectors, though dictated by conmenda- .,
lie wish to economise, does not tend TO the
ecurity of the prisoners. The Warden
must occasionally be absent or may be lfs:f-s
ble from sickness to attend TO his dotles.g
nd he should be able to Ieavea competent
'erson in charge without calling away one .
f the guards from his own duties. Ths 4

meanness of the views which actuate us
This estimate will be expressed first OF al
| in the minimum price which you shal
affix to the lands. -...... 81.
The question of a minimum, you will per
ceive, is in fact the cardinal point to be es
| tablished. t.. 1-f -...
There is one general principle in. th'
adjustment of minimum which, doub
not, will meet with general concurrence: L
should not be so high as to exclude th'
| the present generation from the benefits o
the res ulting revenue nor so low as tt
impoyerish the permanent fund, How
then, shall the permanent interests OF thu
school fund be reconciled with the jus
claims of the present generation :! Tht
school lands represent not an actual bu
latent and prospective value, depending
upon the general growth Of the State FOL
its development. Lands that might bt
sold this year for half a million dollars
would probably be sold in ten years fol
three millions. The former sum,at seven pei
cent. interest, would yield an annual reve-
nue. OF $4,000, the latter, Of $4,000
VIII the benefits that viii accrue to edu.
cation during theiuterval between the lower
aud higher valuation. compensate you and
your children for q sacrifice of five -sixths
of the prospective value of the lands !
think Dot. And surely looking solely to the
interests. of the present generation OF chill
dren, and regarding the period of fifteen
years over which our laws assume that the
education of youth extends,i it would not be
wise economy to provide for the first
fve years at such an expense to the last
ten.
But as the fixing of the minimum attain--
able in the present generation implies
some sacrifice Of prospective values, where
shall the line be drawn? Such a line must,
of course, be arbitrary, but l think we are
not entirely without data for approxima-
,on to a standard, which will reconcile the
interests of the present and future on
the common ground Of the public veal. *
It is proper to-. observe that the
value of the School Lands bears q
