Isthmian Canal.

BY the act of June %. 1902. the con-
gross authorized the president to enter
into treaty with Colombia for the
building of the canal across the 18TH
mus of Panama. il being provided that
in the event Of failure TO secure such
treaty after the lapse of q reasonable
time recourse should be had to build
ing a canal through Nicaragua. 1t has
not been necessary to consider this al
tentative. as | am enabled TO lay be-
fore the senate treaty providing for
the building Of the canal across the
isthmus of Panama. This was the
route which commended itself TO the
deliberate judgment of the congress.
and we can now acquire by treaty the
right to construct the canal over this
route. The question now. therefore. is
not by which route the isthmian canal
shall be built for that question has
been definitely and irrevocably decid-
ed. The question is simply whether or
not we shall have an isthmian canal.

should take the Panama route under
treaty with Colombia the essence Of

to the government which controlled
that route, but to the route itself; to the

Every effort has been made by the

which was essentially not only TO our

st. Paul, Jan. 1.-The following is
the message of Governor Van SAINT to
the Minnesota Les 'lature:
TO the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives:
Pursuant to duty imposed by the
constitution of the state it is deemed
expedient at this time to give your
honorable body such information as is
possessed in relation to state affairs
and to submit for your consideration
suggestions and recommendations
which hope may be helpful. Under
standing fully the necessity of cooper
alton between the legislative and exec
utlVe departments and approaching
our respective obligations let US with
mutual confidence and with the earn
est desire to faithfully serve the peo-
pie OF our commonwealth enter upon
the discharge OF the duties assigned to
us.
The treasury department being one
OF the most important, and as the de-
-mands upon that department for the
next biennial period will be large, the
matter OF providing for necessary
funds must receive your careful atten-
<dlon. The state auditor estimates the
receipts and disbursements OF the rev.
~enue fund for the fiscal year ending
July 81, 1903, 1904 and 1905 as fol-
lows:
Aug. l, 1902. Amount in the
treasury to the credit of
the revenue fund. .......$ 7c9 563

preparations in force Aug

Aug. 1, 1905. Disburse-
ments .............. $50 600
There will be an estimated
surplus July 81. 1905, off,. 427 SIG
In the receipts the auditor has
sfeckoned the state tax at l mill on
s$800O00,000. The item of disburse-
ments for the three fiscal years con-
aains 100000 for new buildings and
extraordinary repairs. The estimate
sof the amount for new buildings is no
doubt near the limit Under the most
favorable circumstances it could not
exceed $1,000,000 without increasing
1he tax levy, and that should be avoid
sed. In order to avoid this I urge the
Btrictest economy and the most care
Tul investigation of every appropria.

OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION OF THE STATE.

small bonded indebtedness and this
was incurred some forty or more years
ago, and is being iqudated as rapidly
as the law will permit. We have not
had to incur dollar of bonded indebt-
edness to build our new state capitol;
I'm fact, we have $5,000,00O worth of
ahe bonds of other states in our treas
AIRY, and in addition millions more of
the very best securities drawing a
barge amount of interest. l refer to
securities in the nature of loans to
counties, villages and townships and
80 state land contracts. These invest
ments represent our permanent school
and university fund.
The sale Of school lands and of TIM
her on school lands during the fall Of
l9O2 have added over million dollars
40 the permanent fund, so that the
aund now amounts to nearly fifteen
and one-half million dollars.
BY wise provision of the law the
fund is to remain permanent-only the
interest can be used Annually more
ahan one-half million dollars from this
source is available for educational pur-
poses.
INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF INSANE PEOPLE.
There were on July 81, 1902, in our
state hospitals 1892 PATIENTS During
the past two years there was an in
crease Of 203. The number of wards
of the state will increase with our
growth and we must provide for their
rare and maintenance. 1t is a prob
lem difficult of solution, and in this
connection l desire to quote from my
meSS9PA nf two wears 9pn.
Il particularly call your attention
to the proposed law which the board
argos your honorable body to enact
regarding each county from which pa
tients are committed to pay $3.50 per
week for each patient for the purpose
of partially defraying the expenses of
his care and maintenance. While this
would not to any great extent decrease
the cost, it might have tendency to
the exercise of greater caution in max
Ing commitments. Other states have
similar laws and l am informed that
good results follow. Many times mild
l. insane patients who could and
Should be cared for at home by friends
and relatives are sent to our hospitals
under the policy of paying the whole
of the expense for the care of the in

lessening competition, and when bids
were received they were often so high
that rejection was necessary. New

toward more economy of construction

deemed necessary to finish the capitol
be appropriated. This will be suffi-

SHOULD GROSS EARNINGS
TAX BE INCREASED?
A matter of much Importance and
one in which the people of our state
ere greatly interested will, without
doubt, enlist your attention. l refer
to the gross earnings system under
which railway companies pay into the
state treasury in lieu Of taxes per
cent Of their gross earnings. Our state
seems committed to this policy and
the simple question for your considers
ton is, should the rate ROW fixed by
I law be increased? At the: last general
session of your body, after the most
careful deliberation and thorough dis
cussion, it was concluded that the rate
should be changed from 3 to per
