There is practically no political opposl-
ton in your body; this fact carries with
1t grave duties and responsibilities; not
only will you, and each of you be re-
sponsible, held so by your constituents,
but your actions in this body will reflect
credit, or the reverse upon the party to
which you belong, and upon whose plat
form you were elected; and your de-
~liberations at this session, n the re-
suit of you actions, are fraught with
more than ordinary responsibilities to
others than yourselves. Custom has or
dained, that at the opening of the legis-
lature, the executive should advise it
officially, of the condition of the terri
tory during the previous two years, and
suggest for it's consideration, such
measures as he may deem expedient or
necessary.
The reports of the various territorial
officers and boards are transmitted
herewith, as follows: Secretary of New
Mexico, treasurer, auditor, solicitor
general, superintendent of public in
struction, ~adjutant general, librarian,
cattle sanitary board, sheep sanitary
board, commissioners on irrigation,
commissioners of the Omaha exposition,
board of immigration, board of phar-
macy, coal mine inspector, coal oil in
spector.
Territorial Institutions: Penitenti-
airy, capitol rebuilding board, univer-
sity, agricultural college, insane asy-
lum, deaf, dumb and blind school,
school of mines, normal school at Las
Vegas and Silver City, military insti-
tute, orphan school and hospital.
PRIVATE CHARITABLE ORGANI-
CATIONS AND HOSPITALS.
These reports will give to your body
in detail the operations of the several
officers, boards and institutions, and it
will be necessary to give them most
careful attention through your proper
committees, so that you may act wisely
and prudently in dealing with them in
the future, something which | believe
has not been done so carefully as it
ought by previous legislatures, a neglect
which has resulted in unnecessary and
conflicting legislation.
While these reports give in detail,
many matters of interest and Informal
ton, I deem it my duty to call your at

MIGUEL A. OTERO,
Governor of the Territory Of New Mexico.

tention especially to some of them,
which seem to me of vital Importance.
The financial condition of the terri
tory demands your earnest attention;
the preservation of our credit by the
prompt payment of the interest due up
on our territorial and municipal debt,
is of the first and greatest Importance.
Second to that, is the payment of the
current expenses of the territory.
Whether our debts We're wisely created
or not, is a question with which we have
no concern; we have issued our solemn
obligations, which have gone into the
markets of the world, and have been
bought by persons relying upon the
faith and credit of the territory, which
was pledged for their payment as much
as upon the tangible property upon
which the bonds were based. 1t is a
notorious and lamentable fact that the
total assessed value for taxation in the
territory, is far below whit it should be.
and that even upon this reduced valua-
ton, and consequent high rate of taxa
ton, the collection of taxes has been
most unsatisfactory, resulting in a de-
felt reported to the legislature at every
session, which has to be provided for.
1t is a mathematical proposition, that a
levy of a given mount should produce
a given amount of money Upon a given
mount of taxable property; but ex-
perience has demonstrated that the ac-
tual result is anywhere from rs per
cent to 40 per cent less than the mathe-
NAUTICAL. This Is unjust to the creditors
of the territory, and unfair to the coun-
ties which collect a larger amount. In
one county Of the territory, the commits
sioners have assumed during the past
two years to 'abate and rebate terri
torial taxes to the amount Of $50, 900,
without any pretense of authority or
law for so doing, besides in the same
n ''abating and rebating'' taxes
due to their county of an annual
amount many times greater. Suit has
been instituted by the solicitor general
to recover from the county commission
ers and the sureties on their bonds, this
amount due to the territory, but to
avoid the recurrence of such acts in the
future, and the delay and expense CON
nected with such suits, there should be
. stringent law prohibiting under Sc
penalties, any attempt on the part
Of county boards to interfere with the
adjustment and collection of ta,Srs, ell
territorial or county, and while it
Is not believed that the present law
them any such authority. yet they
assume to exercise it with the above re-
suits. '

JOINT SESSION.
At 3 o'clock the council and house
went into joint session in the house
chamber for the purpose of receiving
the governor and hearing his message.
Colonel Jaramillo moved that a commit
tee of three be appointed by the chair
to escort the governor to the hall, and
President Chaves, of the council, APP
pointed Colonel Jaramillo and Hon. II.
d. Lieb, of the house, and Hon. Euge-
MO Romero, of the council, as that COM
mittee. At 3:15 Governor Otero was es-
corted to the platform by the committee
and was introduced to the members of
the Legislature and the many visitors
present by Colonel Chaves. When quiet
was secured the governor addressed the
legislature as follows:
GOVERNOR OTERO'S MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Council and House of
Representatives of the 33rd Legisla-
tive Assembly of the Territory of New
Mexico:
| heartily congratulate you upon the
happy auspices under which you are
now assembled for the performance of
the highest duty known to our civiliza-
tion-that of making the laws by which
we, and our fellow citizens shall be gov
erned in the future.
Since the last legislature assembled in
this place, prosperity has returned to
u country and u territory. All in
dustries and branches of business have
revived, and particularly in New Mexi-
co. Sheep and cattle raising
have been prosperous beyond ex-
perience for many years previ-
Gus. Mining also, for all the
precious metals, coal and copper, has
beer resumed with renewed vigor, and
a large amount of capital has been in
vested in mining plants and machinery.
More miles of railroad have been con-
structed in the territory during the last
two years than eve before in it's his
tory, with the exception of 1879 and
1880.

tinues in successful and prosperous

operation, and other similar plants are
being contemplated for erection at an
early date in other parts of the terri
tory.
Within the past year., the United
States, for the first time in a genera
ton, was compelled to wage wal which
lasted barely three months, and result
ed in a series Of victories by land and
sea, without parallel in the annals of
warfare, oaining for us honor, respect
and admiration abroad, and at home
uniting our people from all sections of
the country in a devotion to the nation
In these grand achievements of the ma
ton, New Mexico bore no unimportant
part; her o responded to the presi-
dents call for volunteers with an alac-
rity not equalled in any other section
Of the country, and more than. u quota
was promptly furnished; nearly one-
half of. the world famous Rough Rid
ers' was enlisted from here, and the
conduct of u officers and men, both in
the field and camp was admirable,
eliciting compliments from the highest
officers in the army. The Territorial
Regiment of Infantry, for which New
Mexico furnished four 4) full COM
panies, did not have an opportunity to
engage in active warfare, but its con-
duct, discipline and drill was such as to
excite the admiration of regular army
officers, and we may well feel proud of
our share in it's organization.
The question of u admission as a
state is again before congress, bills for
that purpose having been introduced in
both the senate and house, and while
they may not become laws at the
short session of the present con-
gress, there is good ground for belief
that the new congress will pass an en-
abling act for u admission.
The act of June q, 1898, donating
public lands to territorial institutions,
and for the benefit of the common
schools, was found upon examination,
to be practically imperative on account
of the very large amount of money re-
quired to be paid by the territory as
land office fees under the rulings, and
given to the act by the in
terror department. A bill is now pend
Ing in congress for the purpose of cor
the act in this particular, and 1t
Is hoped that early in the future, we
will be able to avail ourselves of the do
nation made by congress.
For the first time in many years, the
legislature of this territory is in politi-
,al harmony and accord with the exc
'utive of the territory, and the presi-
lent and congress Of the United States.
