period of his sentence as q reward for good
behavior the power to extend the period
of the sentence as a punishment for bad
conduct would also, under proper regula-
tions, exercise a wholesome influence in
the discipline of the prison.
CLASSIFICATION.
The Importance of classification among
convicts is now universally admitted. For
economical or other reasons the establish
ment of an intermediate prison will per-
haps be deemed i~nexpedient at this time.
1t is believed, however, that by employ
ing convict labor the additional buildings
and improvements required for a satisfac-
tory classification, can be erected On the
ground adjoining the old prison, recently
purchased and now inclnsed, at a small
expense compared with the costof a new
prison. This plan, it is hoped, will receive
your careful consideration.
DISCHARGED CoNvIcTs.
It is also recommended that the Board
of State Charities be empowered to aid
discharged convicts to obtain honest en-
ployment. An annual appropriation of q
small sum for this purpose, in the course o.
a few years, would probably save a large
number, who, without such help, would
again return to a criminal course of life.
COUNTY JAILs
The most defective part of our present
prison system is probably our county iails.
1t is supposed about 5000 persons pass
through BUR county jails each year. They
are generally persons charged with crimes
and awaitiYg trial. But lunatics and pet
ty offenders, in considerable numbers are
also confined in these places. The young
and old, the innocent and the guilty, har-
dened offenders and beginners in crime
are commonly mingled together in the
jails, under few restraints, without useful
occupation, and with abundant leisure
and temptation to learn w~Ickedness, The
jails have been fifty termed nurseries Of
crime. Plans of jails not too expensive
have been furnished by the Board of State
Charities. which provide for the absolute
separation of the prisoners. 1t is recon-
mended that the law shall require all jails
to be so constructed as TO entirely pre-
vent this promiscuous dangerous inter-
course.
Your attention is particularly called to
the recommendation of the Board of State
Charities, that the proper authorities of all
the cities Of the State should be required
to make full reports annually. to the Leg.
islature, through the Governor, of the
statistic of vice and crime, and of the work
of the police department in such cities.
And also to the suggestion that prosecut-
ing attorneys should not be allowed to
enter u noHe proSeQui in any case of an
indictment for a crime punishable by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary or by death
without the written approval of the At
torney General first given upon a written
report to him of the facts,
The importance of this sufficiently shown
by the fact that in 1869 the number Of
cases in which a noRe proseq1ti was enter.
ed fifteen hundred.

SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME.

Inc report OF the superintendent ana
Trustees of the Soldiers orphants' Home
will engage your earnest attention. The
duty Of providing for the soldiers of Ohio
who fell in the war for the Union was full
ly recognized by the revolution and acts
Of our last session. 1t is not doubte that
your action was in accordance with the
will Of the people of the state, and they
earnestly desire that the duty of caring
for the soldiers orphans shall be perform
edin a name that will worthily express
the affection and gratitude with which
these wards Of the State must ever be re-
garded by q Just and patriotic community.
/ therefore respectfully recommend that
the legislation deemed necessary by the
Board and officers in charge Of the institu-
ton be enacted as promptly as practicable
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The report. of the Geological Survey, to
De laid before you, exhibits the encourage
ing progress of that work. The future
growth of Ohio IN wealth and population,
will depend largely on the development
of the mining and manufacturing resources
of the State. Heretofore, our increase in
capital and number has been chiefly due
to agriculture. Important as that great
interest will always be in Ohio, the recent
census show that We may not reasonably
anticipate, In future, rapid growth in pop
ulation or wealth from agriculture alone.
Without calling in question the great and
Immediate benefit to accrue to agriculture
from the geological survey 1T IS yet
true that the tendency of its exhibition OF
our vast mineral wealth is to encourage
the employment of labor and capital in
mining and manufacturing enterprises.
Let the work be continued and sustained
by ample appropriations.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
1t Unnecessary that the General Assem-
bly,, d8Sts present session, should adopt
the requisite legislation to carry into eff
feet the following requirement of the Con-
stitution: Section 8, Article l6, of the
Constitution provides that, .at the general
election to be held in the year n thous-
and eight hundred and seventy one. and
in each twentieth year thereafter, the
question. Shall there be a convention to

electors voting at such election shall decide
in favor of such a convention, the Genera

In conclusion, l feel warranted in con.
graduating you on the favorable judg

FELLOW CITIZENS OF

The official reports, which the law re-
tqnires to be annually made to the Cover

partments OF the State Government and
Of the State institutions have been con-
Quoted during the past year in q satisfac-

the reports contain. The most important
parts of them have been spread before the
people of the State by the newspaper press
and the details which may be desired with
a view to legislation can be best obtained
from the reports themselves.
i also refrain from making many, recon-
m~endations. Believing that too frequent
changes OF the laws and too much legisla-
ton are serious evils, l respectfully sug-
gest that upon many subjects it may be
we'll to defer legislation until the people
have acted upon the question of calling a

" One OF the most valuable articles OF the
present State Constitution is that which
prohibits the State, save in q few excep-
tional case from creating any debt, and
which provides for the payment atan early
day of the debt already contracted. 1 am
convinced that it would be wise to extend
the same policy to the creation of pohlic
debts by county, city and other local au-
thoritier. The rule, pay as you go"
leads to economy in public as we'll as pri-
vate affairs, while the power to contract
debt opens the doors to wastefulness, ex-
trayagance and corruption.
In the early history of the State, when
capital was scarce, and expensive public
works were required for transporting the
products of the State to market, public
debts were probably unavoidable. But
the time, I believe, has come when not
only the State, but all its subordinate di-
visions, ought to be forbidden to incur
debt. The same rule on this subject ought
to be applied to local authorities which
the Consultation applies to thu State Leg
~islature. Experience has proved that the
power to contract debt is as liable to
abuse by local boards as it is by thelGen-
eral Assembly. 1t is important to the
/ people that the State should be free from
debt it is also important that Its MUM
cipal divisions should not have power &c
Cypress them with the burden of local In
debtness. 70

j 10lS table SHOWS InaJ IN ten years Jne
State taxes have increased thirty-three
per cent, and that local taxes have in
creased almost one hundred and seventy
per cent. in other words, that less than
one-tenth of the increase has been in State
taxes and more than one-tenths in local
taxes.
The increase of local taxation has been
far greater than the growth Of the State
in business population or wealth. 1t is
not to be doubted that this burden has
grown to dimensions which seriously
threaten the prosperity Of the State.
No full and exact statement can be
made from the official reports as to the
amount annually collected from the prop
erty-holders of the State in the form of
special assessments for what are termed
local improvements but it is certain that
this burden Is also great and rapidly grow
ing.
The Auditor of State reports cases in
which such assessments have been made,
amounting to one-half of the cash value
of the property on which they were levied,
and, in one case which he refers to, the as
sessment was double the value ofthe prop
erty. q
In respect to these evils it is undoubt-
| eddy easier to find fault than to provide a
remedy. No single measure vii remove
them. Probably no system OF measures
which the General Assembly can adopt
viii Of themselves accomplish what is de-
sired. A complete reform is impossible
unless the city, county and other officers
are disposed and throughout competent to
do the work of cutting off every unneces-
sarv expenditure.
Much, however. can be accomplished by
wise legislation. Let the General Assem-
bly, firmly adhere to the policy of the Con-
stitution, and refuse to enact special laws
granting powers to tax or make assess,
ments. Let snch powers be exercised only
in pursuance of general laws. Local
authorities should be empowered to levy
no higher rate of taxation than Is abso-
lutely required for practical efficiency IN
der ordinary circumstances. In extraor-
binary cases general laws should provide
for the submission of the proposed tax OF
assessment to the people to be affected by
it, under such regulations that it can not
be levied unless at least two-thirds of the
/ tax-nayers approve the measure.
