ate. to confer with secretary of state
and attorney general. and draft new
revenue law
The license now charged merchants
Of all classes is relic of the days
when there was no real property to
bear taxation, and should be repealed
as soon as the capitol building bonds
are paid, the revenue arising from these
licenses being pledged to that object
The license charged liquor dealers
ought to be adjusted. If this branch of
business is recognized by law it should
receive the same fairness as is melted
out to others. The license law should
be so modified as to require the sheriff,
or whatever officer issues the licenses,
to publish quarterly the name of each
individual to whom license is issued,
for what business and the amount re-
ceived therefor.
County officers should be required
monthly to file with the county audit
or an itemized statement of all fees
received in the performance of their
official duties. These statements should
be open to the inspection of the public
at all times during business hours,
and the county auditor should, i'm com
mon with the other officers, file his
statement each month for the inspec-
ton of the public. All newspaper re-
porters should have access to the re-
ports, that they may make copies foI
publication. Any officer refusing OF
failing to comply should, upon convic
ton, be removed.
The state auditor should be empOw

justing the same with those in thu

money may thus be saved to the tax
payer of the state. as under the pres
ent system many of the county officers
through neglect or for reasons of thei
own, fail to pay regularly, if at all
into the state treasury the amount
due.
An attempt has been made by tn
state auditor to collect these amounts
If any legislation is needed to requir

STATE WAGON ROADS.
No More Money Should be Expended in
That Direction.


That Direction.
There seems to be growing DISPOSE
ton on the part of each succeeding leg
islature to provide for the construction
of what are termed state wagon roads
MY opinion is that no more money
should be expended in that di-
rection other than to finish the road
now begun, up the lower Salmon river,
which was intended to connect the
northern and southern portions of the
state.
The state has already incurred a
bonded debt of $1S5000 in what seems
to have been futile attempt to open
up the interior by regular system of
wagon roads.
The condition of the roads for which
contracts were let, under the act passed
by the second session, is very unsat-
isfactory. To avoid the expense of
miiage from one section of the state to
another [ appointed four different sets
of examiners and engineers living as
nearly as possible in the vicinity where
the roads which are being constructed.
regret to say that in no instance has
either set of the examiners found the
! roads tney Inspected constructed dc-
cording to plans and specifications. In
/ consequence / requested the state au-
/ ditor to Withhold final payment until
| the work was completed according to
| agreement.
The wagon road commissioners paid
several contracts in full, without wait
! ing for me to appoint viewers as the
law contemplated. The statute creating
the board authorized its members to
certify their own accounts to the state
auditor, in fact placed the entire eX-
penditure of the whole appropriation
in their hands, without supervision
from the state officers.
I recommend that you appoint COM
mittee to investigate the condition of
the state wagon road and report to you

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The report of the state superintendent
of public instruction is a valuable and
instructive document
My observation has taught me that a
change should be made in the law pro-
viding for the apportionment of school
moneys. The state common school fund
should be apportioned on the first of
March and August each year, thereby
giving the school districts the use of
the money paid into the treasury dur
ing January and February instead of
allowing it to lie idle in that Office until
July, as is now the case

MINING.
The Laws Of Colorado Might Prove a
Valuable Guide.


When you consider that this industry
of the state has contributed, and is con-
tributing, so largely. not only to our
own wealth, but the wealth Of the ma
ton, and then search our statutes and
learn that no adequate legislation has
ever been enacted looking TO the pro-
lection Of those engaged in this pur-
suit. you cannot be otherwise than as
tonishcd. Yet such is the case; the last
session had the subject under advise
ment. but failed to deem it Of enough
importance to merit sufficient amount
Of their valuable time to pass a bill. al
though one was introduced, which if it
had become a law would have been of
incalculable benefit to the state.
/ recommend that you give this sub
iect your early attention and suggest
that the laws of Colorado might prove
a valuable guide on this subject. The
mining industry of that state has
reached it's present magnificent proper
lions largely through the fostering in
fuence of wise legislation.

The first session of the legislature
enacted an act, entitled, d" An act to de-
fine the qualifications Of electors, etc"
The second. or last session, amended

think that the section so amended,
should have stricken out those clauses
which relate TO bigamy or plural mar
riage. The law as first enacted was
aimed at what is known as the church
of the Latter Day Saints, but expert
ence and a better acquaintance with
the members of that society, has dem
onstrated that they are among our
most law abiding citizens. An analysis
of our prison record will prove this to
be the case. The provision is useless
incumbrance to our election law and
should be stricken out. There are other
amendments which might safely be
made, but the general system has met
with almost universal approval.
DEFICIENCY WARRANTS.
The senate Of the last Legislature, for
reasons which were at that time no
! doubt satisfactory to its members, re-
| fused to make an appropriation suf-
ficient to pay the just demands against
the state or support its several depart
ments. We owed, and still owe, the rail

knowing that the state board of prisOl
commissioners would either be oblige
to issue deficiency warrants, and as

IRRIGATION AND HORTICULTURE.
Legislative Action Earnestly Urged by
the Governor.

No question which will present itself
for your consideration is as far reach
ing in its results as the question Of the
proper distribution of water upon our
arid lands.
The plan of providing for the dividing
of counties into irrigation districts and
allowing each district to regulate it's
own water rates and if needs be con
struct it's own bitches and reservoirs.
seems to be the most promising. l
recommend that joint committee be
appointed to prepare a bill.

recommend that the state levy be
reduced from eighty-five to sity cents
on the hundred dollars. I further rec
ommend that a new fee bill be enacted
that will conform with the present con-
ditions which surround us.
The expense of running our city and
county governments, notably that Of
our courts, is entirely too great.
I recommend that as soon as prac-

that purpose. In this manner tie tax
payers would not feel the expense
which must be met. In the near flu
ture a ditch should be taken from
Boise river for the purpose of irrigating
all the lands belonging to the Denitenti-
airy reserve that are suitable for cult
walton, there being nearly 100 acres Of
this class.
Warden Campbell and his able assist
ants are deserving of the highest

CAPITOL GROUNDS AND BUILDING

Provision should be made to bring the
hot water from the penitentiary to heat
the capitol, thereby saving the price Of
fuel now consumed and the expense of
an engineer to run the boilers.
If an electric light plant is provided
for the penitentiary, wire might fur
nish the light for the capitol and also
the soldiers home, and the hot water
used for heating the capitol might be
conveyed to the home and save the ex-
pense of heating that institution.

STATE UNIVERSITY.


submit to you herewith the report
of the regents of the Idaho State Uni
versity. You will be impressed with the
unparalleled success of that important in
stitution.
The board of regents have attached

through which they have awaited them

rill and Hatch acts, and from these APP
preparation, almost entirely has the uni
versity been maintained and without
which it's doors must have been closed,
for the reason that the appropriation
made by the state so far has been for
rived from the proceeds of the sale of
university lands has been entirely in
adequate to sustain the college.
The time has arrived, however, when
you must make location of the agri-
cultural college proper, either in con-
nection with the university or else
where. In failure to do so the state will
lose the donation of the lands given us
by the general government.
AS the lands so donated have none OF
them been sold, although 1898 acres
have been located, l advise that a loca-
ton be made at a point which may be
the most desirable and that the bill
provide for the procurement, by dona.
ton or purchase, of a suitable tract OF
land for farm and college campus, anC
that during the next four years ne
buildings be erected, but that the
grounds be improved and placed il

may be needed after that time. My
reason for recommending this delay i.
to avoid the taxation which must fol
low in the event another college is built
BY designating some particular count!
which you may conclude is most de
sirable the trustees might be empow
cred to designate the exact locality
this method would doubtless result il
the state being able to secure favorabl
terms as to the land and water rights.
l recommend that a committee b.
sent to investigate and report on tn
condition of the university and it's ar
engagements and as many of your mem
bers accompany the committee as pos
