THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 3-Gov. Hayes in bis mes
sage, submitted to the legislature to day, dis
cusses only local matters and says the increase
of local taxation has been far greater than the
growth of the State in business, population or
wealth, and asks the legislature to do all in its
power 20 check the evil. He also thinks that
the powers of cities, counties and other local
authorities to create public debt opens the
doors to wastefulness, extravaganza and cor
ruptiop. He recommends that all State county
and muHicipal officers be paid fixed salaries
and not by fees. He also asks additional legis-
lation to promote the interest of the soldiers
and orphans home arXenia. The rer ort of the
Secretary of State gives the population of Ohio
at 697, 900; increase of 248,O96 in ten years or
IS per cent
