~ the Legislature.
9uRgests Some Changes in the
#t@ Tax Laws and Economy In
~ Expenditures
TREATMENT OF THE INSANE
WlsconSin Plan, Of Caring for
tho Unfortunates Given
| His Approval.
,FaVOrS g Central Board OF Con-
/ troll to MANAGE Our State
Institutions.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 4.-The message of
Governor Lind to the state legislature
is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives,:
Among the important duties which you
have been commissioned by the people of
this state to discharge, and one that can
not be delegated or deferred, is to provide
the necessary moneys for defraying the
expenses Of government, and for the sup
port of our schools and state institutions.
Pursuant to law, the state auditor has
submitted his estimate Of revenue receipts
for the ensuing biennial period, based on
. TAI levy Of ~ mills, which I append.
This rate, according to the estimate, will
produce 1885, 600 in the first year, and
leave q surplus of $270, 600 over and above
estimated Disbursements; In the second
year g. o65, 900, with surplus Of $1,000
The estimated surplus for tho two years,
sggrsgating $3S0, $50, limits your appro-
priations for new buildings and other
original expenditures to . sum within
those figures. While 1t 10 conceded that
this estimated surplus Ia not excessive In
view of the urgent necessity for increased
facilities in some Of our Institutions,
venture tho prediction that the rate sug-
eested will produce much larger amount
than estimated under q stricter admins
tration Of our tax laws governing the re-
turn and assessment Of personally.
A Reform That In Necessary.
A reform in that regard, even though
you should no. see fit to change existing
law, 10 imperatively ne essary. Besides,
there is an extensive domain for legiti-
mate and material increase in the reve"
nues of the state in q manner which will
not impose any new burdens on our peo-
pie, or on industry, as will be suggested
farther on. If you avail yourselves of
these sources, I feel confident that you
can safely reduce the levy by 30 of q
mill, and tho state still realize In excess
Of the estimate. The taxpayers are en-
titled to reduction in view of the growth
-Ok the state In population and wealth, and
] earnestly recommend that it be made.
This recommendation is not made In
spirit of Indifference to the demands Of
that liberal progressive policy which is
characteristic Of our people in their views
concerning public expenditures, but b.
cause it is earnestly believed that the
adoption of the measures for additional
revenues. and of reform in the admins
tration Of our state institutions, herein
recommended, will result in increased
revenues on the one hand, and q reduc-
ton OF expenses on the other, and by that
means leave larger sum available for
new undertakings than would result un.
der the practices now in vogue.

TAXATION OF RAILROADS.
Rate on Such Property IL Considered
Too Low.

Another branch of taxation that de.
mands your earnest attention and we'll
considered action is that of the franchises

Work OF tho State Experimental Farm
Warmly Commended.
That portion OF the message dealing
with the state experimental firm highly
commends the work of that institution,
and he bespciks for it II liberal treatment,
and also IL continuance of state institute
work
Without making any specific recon-
mendation, it SCENT to me that, in view of
the record made by our crcamcrics ut the
recent Omaha Exposition, the time has
come when Minnesota creamery butter
should mean what the name implies.
This, think, can only be accomplished by
authorizing the state food and dairy de-
partmc cat, III conjunction with the faculty
OF the College OF Agriculture, to adopt
rules regulating tho sanitary conditions
that must be observed in the management
and the character and quality OF the prod

MARSHFIELD.
Some Old Base Ball Scores,

Base ball seems to be the predominating
sport and entertainment OF the town at
present. A little history of the record of a
former nine OF the town, known as the
"E han Allen Base Ball Club" may be OF
interest TO he IN IN Ders OF the present nine,
and perhaps it may call to the minds OF the
survivors OF that illustrious nine some pleas
ant memories Of their boyhood struggles on
the diamond. In looking over some of the
old papers thrown out from the old G. ..
Davis shop, A. w Cole came across an old
score book which is full of the history Of the
games won and lost by the old home club
Upon the inside cover of the book are these
words: Ethan Allen Baseball Club, or
