LOOK AWAY.

When the storm with,its mantle OF darkness
comes down,
And the blackest clouds cover the sky,
And all nature is gloomy with shadow and
frOwn
And the swift-rolling tempest is nigh.
Look away, trembling soul, the thick darkness
pierce through,
For beyond are the sunlight and beautiful
blue
When the deepest aff1iction and sorrow are
thine.
With burdened heart ready to break,
When thy footsteps are painful and life doth
decline
And the hopes that had stayed thee forsake,
Look away, fainting one, take His promises
true,
They will give you the sunshine and Heavens
own blue.

ject is wortb7 Of your most earnest con-
sideration.
Under the limitations of our constitu-
tior it is impracticable for the state to
give financial aid to any local improve
ment Of this character.
The state sewerage commission, estab-
lished under the act of March "a, 1899,
has general supervision of this subject
within the state. Its powers were ex-
tended by the amendments to the act,
approved March 81, 1900, but they are
not broad enough to meet existing con-
ditions
The inefficiency of the present legis-
lation seems 10 arise from two causes:
a. The impracticability of securing
united action by the different municipal
rites constituting single drainage OF
sewerage district
(2) Inadequate provision for obtaining
the necessary means to carry out work
| of the required magnitude.
To remedy these defects additional
| legislation is advised, authorizing the
| creation of sewerage and drainage dis
tricts with quasi-municipal power the
appointment within such districts, when
created, of commissioners with ample

those municipal divisions for the purpose
of providing the necessary means tc

herein contained your careful consider,

action thereon will advance the common

Recalling with pleasure the harmoniou:
relations that have existed between this

the satisfactory and successful dis
charge of your duties, assuring you OF

every proper way whenever such help

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Senate and General
Assembly.

Gentlemen of the Senate and General
Assembly:
The legislative session upon which you
now enter is the first OF the new century.
The result of your labors will equal in
Importance that of the men who met to
make the laws for the state hundred
years ago. In many ways your duties
are more trying. Affairs of larger i'm
port invite your attention. In number
the people have increased nearly ten
fold. Their wants are more numerous;
their interests are more conflicting.
Problems equally delicate, if not more
important, demand consideration and so
luton at your hands.
The Union then comprised sixteen
states Our state was thirteenth in
point of area and ranked tenth in popu-
lation. Now the foty-second in size; it
is the sixteenth in number of its people,
and in density it is third. Its people
then were mainly engaged in the pursuits
Of agriculture. Governmental needs
were few and simple. The thirteen
counties, sparsely nettled, were divided
into ITO townships, with a government
common to all. simple in form and differ
ing only slightly in details. Few were
the cities or towns, and, such as they
were, they were not large in population.
Now two of our cities each outnumber in
population that of the entire state at
that time. The counties have increased
to twenty-one, and the municipalities
now number 425.
The varying forms Of government have
each their peculiar needs or interests
and preferences demanding your special
consideration. The laws for 1901 were
81 in number In 1900 they were
1913, Notwithstanding the exercise of Il
watchful care against all useless legis-
lation.
AT the beginning of the century the
needs of the state government were
limited and the number of officers and
departments small. Only $4,000, or
Whereabouts, were sufficient for the needs
of the state. This came from taxes di-
rectly imposed on the people, the only
method then known. We find our supply
in other sources. Direct taxes are now
levied only for the support of free public
schools How vastly i'll amount the
revenues have increased will appear
from the following table:
