Inauguraeios Of a:osernor Allen.
COLUMBUS % January l2..-Governor
William Allen was inaugurated to-day in
the presence of the Legislature and a large
assemblage Of people from all parts of the
State He delivered a brief address, in
which he calls especial attention to the |
necessity of reducing taxes and appropria. |
lions. He says the increase of taxes and |
expenditures has, for some years past. been |
much beyond the actual and rational neces. |
sites of the public service. But we arc not |
Gtssembled under ordinary circumstances: |
s. few months ago that underlined but ire.
mendous power, called money panic. i'm.
parted violent shock to the whole indus.
trial and property system. The well con.
sidered plans and calculations OF all men
engaged in active business. or in the exer.
ton of active labor. were suddenly and /
thoroughly deranged.
In the universal business anarchy that en-.
|
wildered, go that few among them were able
to clearly see their way or knew well what
10 do Even for the brief futurity of sin.
gle week, all values and incomes were in.
stantly and deeply depressed. There was
mot farmer, manufactures. merchant. |
a mechanic, or laborer who did not feel
that he was less able to meet his engage. !
ments or pay his taxes than he had been /
before.
The distrustfui effect Of this state Of
Ihings was felt by all: but it was more
grievously felt by the great body OF the la.
BORING people, because it touched them at
the vital point of subsistence. Many OF
these men were unable to find that regular
employment SO essential TO
their well being, while some Of them.
in larger towns and cities, would |
have suffered for actual want Of the
necessaYies of lie, but for that prompt hui.
nanity and charity so characteristic of and
80 honorable to the whole American people.
In This condition of things, you are now
convened, and it is mantestly the duty OF
the Legislature Of the State TO afford the \
only relief which it has the constitutional
power to afford, by a reduction OF the pub
Tic taxes in proportion 70 the reduced abiIis |
ty of the people to pay. Yet this can not
be done without at the same time reducing |
the expenditures of the State government
down to the very last dollar compatible
1
The State and the efficient working OF
the State government under the ever
present sense of necessary economy. l do
not mean that vague and mere verbal |
which pubic men are so ready to
profess with regard to public expenditures, |
mean that earnest and ineXOrabie econ
omy which proelaims its expense by accom-.
plished facts. In the prodigality of the
past you will find abundant reason for fru-
gality in the future. The Governor makes
no further allusion to the topic of legsla
zion, and concludes with an expression of
thanks to the people of the State Tor the
honor conferred upon him.
A Bad Mess of 1t.

IN seeing what he had done, Rebmann
plunged into the river, but was rescued,
and is now stark mad.
