GOV. GARLANDs MESSAGE

The message of Gov Garland is an able and elaborate document. and shows conclusiyely that the writer is fully conyersant with every detail and mlnutia of the office to winch he has evidently devoted his best ability and clos est attention. The suggestions and recommendations made by the Governor and contained in his message ore well worthy of the attention and consideration of the Genera, Assembly. and show much forcthought and research.
 The Governor joins with the Auditor in suggesting the neces sity for extending the time be tween the date fixed, after which the delinquent lists of real estate are to he returned and the list published by the clerks.
 This recommendation is of the utmost importance and shoold not be overlooked by the general assembly, for it is utterly impos sible in many coses for the lists to Unpublished within the time now fixed by law. The opinion k concurred in by the Governor and Auditor that it would be bet ter to require the counties to fur nish all necessary blanks, state ments, assessno1t rolls and tax books needed by the clerks and assessors under the revenue la~. Referring to the report of the Commissioner of State Lqnds the Governor says the recommenda ton of that officer that it. should be made penal to cut timber on any of the lands belonging to the state is highly proper, and he thinks comprehensive and strin gent law sh uld be passed on that subject.
