claim that this is bad law for
several reasons. First, il seems con.

just7
Again, this las Is based upon false
principle. 1t boldly assumes that the
loanable value of money is uniform. Now
it is we'll known that the value Of money,
like the value Of all other things, depends
upon the supply and the demand. IF
there is surplus of money ia the mark,
ct, dollar can not be exchanged for so
much of other commodities as It can be
when money is scarce. In one case it l.,
worth more than it is 10 the other. II
| am Spectator and borrow money and
with that money purchase commodities
to take to market, it is right that should
pay the most for the use Of dollar when
| can purchase tho greatest amount Of
commodities with it. Should the rate of
interest be fixed by law
Again. the law is not obeyed. When
q law conflicts with common sense, people
are slow to observe it, When money is
worth eight per cent, who lends at six Z
There are various modes Of evasion, kdt
are they adequate?
Again, | suppose government, by FIX.
ing the rate of interest, intends to aid
the borrower. But why should the Dor.
rover be assisted? Is the merchant, who
carries on his business by borrowing a
few hundred dollars of Miss A. and
thousand Of Mr.. b, and then fails and
pays his creditors twenty-five cents on
dollar. is he, say, doing such great
service to the community that he merits
the protection Of tho government
But the borrower is not benefited BY
any law fixing the rate of interest which
he must pay, and it can be shown that
any such law is positive injury to him,
suppose that the actual loanable value of
money is seven per cent, while the legal
rate is six. No one will lend at six
few will lend at seven most will charge
eight per cent If money lenders BY
breaking the law make themselves liable
to dne, they will charge little extra
per cent. to cover their risk. This is
perfectly natural. Tho profits must be-
greater 10 dangerous pursuits. else who
will engage in them 7 II the lender has
some scruples about breaking the law, be
will employ his money himself where
it will be most productive. Thus the
borrower is compelled to 90 to O. restrict.

EH The Governors message is quite

Its recommendations are apparently we'll
considered ard wise After appropriate
centennial illusions and reference 10 the
biennial reports Of the state officers. he
touches upon the states financial condi.
ton. congratulating the people upon onr
prosperous condition in having lifted Of
our shoulders an enormous war debt and
having now in hand handsome balance
Of money and available assets. He
recommends economy 10 administration,
and to that end suggests tho creation Of
the Office Of attorney general to look
after and systematic criminal prosecu-
tons, and intimates that the services of
grand juries might then be dispensed
with to a considerable extent, having
criminal prosecutions commenced by
informations except in the more important
cases. He also recommends provision
for paying portion OF the expenses by
the state in trials by referee 10 order to
encourage resort to that system instead
OF to the more expensive machinery OF
the jury.
He also discusses the assessment of
taxes,an urges careful and considerable
revision OF the system SO that the burdena
Of taxation may rest as easily as possible
upon all Glasses and all interests. The
governor approves the recommendation,
OF the state superintendent, believes in
town Libraries, the consolidation Of small
schools, uniformity Of text books, and the
free use Of money to secure the best
schools.
In the matter OF the Board Of ARri.
culture he would have its work continued
and enlarged, more money appropriated
for their u.e. aud that the state geologist
be an ex.oficio member Of tho board.
He has no particular opinion upon the
complaints about the insane asylum, but
comments careful study Of the report of
the commissioner.
Gov. Fairbanks gives especial cmphasis
to his views Of state prisons aud jails and
urges radical changes in Cur system of
prison discipline, as well aa measures to
amcliorate the condition Of prisoners. 1t
Is document which is well worth study
and its recommendations should be
needed.
