You should deal with the affairs OF state in
businesslike manner aud prudent business:

find that in any department the expenditures
can be cut down without hurt to efficient service

WAR CLAIMS.
During the raising of troops by the
State in 1898 for the war with Spain
considerable Indebtedness was incurred
which has not yet been entirely adjusted
Claims have been put in against the
general government for these several
amounts but many OF them still remain
unpaid I will submit to you special
message covering, as far as | am able.
full statement OF this matter and de-
sire now simply to direct your attention
TO this special message. Those citizens
who furnished supplies on the order OF
the Governor of the State should have
their money and should not be required
TO wait any longer for payment. They
sold their goods to the State and look
TO the State for payment and not to the
general government. You should make
some provision for the prompt and sat-
isfactory adjustment of these claims
remaining unpaid. This would not in
terfere or retard the collection of these
claims from the general government
and private parties would not be sub
iected to the Inconvenience of being
kept out OF money justly due them and
which they expected to receive n cash.
STATE MILITIA.
1t is gratifying to note that marked
Improvement has been made 10 the
status of the State militia under the
present administration Of the Adjutant
Generals department.. The number OF
companies in actual service has been
considerably reduced but there has been
an increase in efficiency. You are
aware that for several years past the
support of this Department by the
State has been very meagre and really
Insufficient TO meet the demands re-
ouired in maintaining creditable and
an efficient militia organization.
