STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS

An examination shows that under certst,
special laws affecting normal schools soma Ia
calities are benefited by having academies main
tanned at the expense of the State. thus defsa,-
ing the object for which normal schools were
originally Intended. There is no reason why the
expense OF academic education in these various
municipalities should not be borne locally. or
why the State at large should furnish financial
aid to a greater degree than that now provided
for By general law for the maintenance of ali
high schools and academies VII
The normal schools were originally intended
for the purpose OF training teachers bur tbis
discrimination reached such a point as TO make
necessary the law of 1894, Chapter ;I5i which
provides for training schools in various instftu
tions in which the State has no ownership. ar An

should be taken TO restrict the attendance at

DELAY IN CAPITAL CASES.

There is evidence that too frequently appeals
in capital cases are too long deferred by the
failure of district attorneys to compel the ap-
pearance of the defendants counsel. There are
instances where the accused have been awaiting
appeal for long periods and one case mas
come under my observation where three years
had elapsed before it was noticed on the calendar
of the Court of Appeals Under the constitution
a direct appeal is taken from the Supreme Court
to the Court of Appeals. but so long as there is
a disposition upon the part Of the dis
trict attorneys TO accede to the requests
of defendants counsel for postponement
j. is impossible to force these cases TO
trial And it too often occurs that in the
event Of a new trial being ordered by the highest
court important witnesses have died or disap-
peared. and a criminal who should have been
punished is allowed to escape through lack OF
evidence.
An amendment TO the code is recommended
which will prevent this practice and compel the
argument of such cases before the Court OF \ p
peals within certain time, say Sin months,
after conviction in the Supreme Court. There
is no reason why. in these days when the con-
veniences of stenographers and the printing
press available. there should be such
delay in the consideration of capital cases by
the highest court.

TAXATION OF NORTGAGES

After numerous hearings the subject was

be placing valuation upon the real estate that
could not be justified by an appraisal AT its trne

not assessed at its true value. and the amount
