GOVERNORS MESSAGE,

| Gentlemen Of the Senate and assembly:
The people of the State of Wisconsin, having called
me to the service of their chief executive j appear
before you in accordance with custom that has
prevailed since the formation of State Govern
ment.
The constitution imposes upon The Governor The
dutS of communicating to the Legislature the con-
dition of the state, and recommending such legsIa-
ton as to him may expedent aud called for by
The public welfare.
In proceeding TO discharge that duty am deeply
impressed with the responsibilities of my position
With gratitude tie most profound and sincere to-
wards the people of the state for the confidence re-
posed in me, and determination to devote my best
efforts to their service, approach the duties that
belong to me with feelings OF dstrust and embarras-
ment.
Succeeding in This high office a gentleman who has
administered its duties for loDgcr period than any
of his predecessors and who left it enjoying the
highest degree the confidence and good will of the
people, shall regard myself exceedingly fortu
naic, if, at the expiration of my term cf service
the same good opinions 90 with me-
While pesilence and famine have dcsoated 9th
nations, the year just ended has been one of
general health in our state, and marked with de
gree of prosperity equal to any that has preceded
it; and saving only one great calamity that has
befalen one section of it, the people have great
cause of thankFulncss to the Author of every good
and perfect gift.
The abundant returns of agriculture have not
only been equal to all the wants of our people,
but have furnished large surplus with which 10
supply others and less favored peoples.
Our manufacturing industries have steadily in
creased, and our commerce has suffered no abate
mcnt, while many portions of the state, heretofore
quite inaccessible, have been opened up by rail-
roads to easy access and development.
The laws have been faithfully executed and the
rights of all D Cserved and maintained.
The cause of education has been constantly
progressive, and noble institutions of public
charity have brought relief and ministered TO the
comfors of many who in the inscrutabc DrOy-
dence of God, have been deprived of their reason
or the faculties Of hearing and sight.
But without further retrospect, | proceed to a
more detailed exposition of the condition of the
state.
From the reports of the Secretary of state and
State Treasurer, it appears that the balance in the
Treasury belonging TO the various funds, at the
close of the last fiscal year. was S329, ,S45.S2.
The receipts and disbursements of the general
fund for the fiscal year follows

The aggregate valuation of all taxable property. AZ
returned by the assessors for leTI is $500 503 63
excluding Ashland county. This is something over
two millions less than the assessment of 1870
The experience of the past shows the tendency to
under value nearly every class of property This is
done by assessors III the belief that thereby they
will lessen TO their towns the burden state and
county taxes. Such is not the case, as the evil is
remedied great measure by the county and state
boards of equalization. To fully remedy the i'll
effects that grow out of this pernicOus system of as
sessment, more stringent laws should be framed
regulating the duties of assessors, and thor
ough enumeration and classification of property in
assessessment should be required, that boards of
equalization more fully correct the erroneous
assessment of the town officers.

NATIONAL BANK TAxEs.

Chapter 400, of the Laws of 1865, imposed a tax
the shares of National Banks in this state, made
the tax a lien upon the stock, from the first day OF
july i'll each year, until paid, and required that a
penalty of one per Centum on the amount of the
stock should be added where the tax was not paid
by the 3st of December. large amount of these
taxes remaining unpaid, an act was passed March
g. 1865 to provide for their assessment and col
lection. A recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, in actions brought to recover
back taxes paid under each of these laws, has cs-
tablishcd the right of the state to enforce the col
lection of the taxes referred to- 1t is presumed
that the taxes remaining due to the state under
those laws will be speedily paid into the State
Trcasuary. In case of prompt payment, l would
recommend that the penalty be rcmitted, but if the
tax is not paid within thirty days, hope that you
will provide for its enforcement III the most rgor
GUS manner.

Among the causes which have led to the rapid de-
velopment of the material interests of the state, rail
roads may be regarded as the most important, ana
the past year has witnessed the construction OF a
greater number of miles of railway than any prey-
Gus year.
The completion of the Western Wisconsin rail-
greatly i'll need of such line of communication,
and the large and increasing business that 1T IS
transacting, shows that its construction not IN
ported.
The Central Wisconsin, which has built and
placed i'll operation sxtysix miles this season from
Menasha to Stevens Point, is rapidly pushing tor
ward to Bayfield, Lake Superior, which point 1t
Is expected will be reached within the present year,
and will open up vast country to settlement,
which hitherto has echoed only to the sound of the
lumbermans or the rifle of the huntsman'
