odeu to the Legislature was sent to that
todv this afternoon and was read In the
Senate and Assembly.
The Governor begins by saying that
M other Legis 'a,ure in recent years has
hsd before 4, for consideration such i'm
porant qiestions as the present Legislature
will be aled upon to solve. Internal i'm.
movements the abolition OF direct taxa
,on. the betterment Of our common school
.ys,em and the p, p Ilarization OF the higher
branches Of educ alton, lie says, are subjects
,oeri,ine the most careful consideration,
and the ena, tm,nt Of laws which will secure
the best results with the least possible ex-
rsnditure of the public money.
The aim Of recent legislation he says.
has been To devise a uniform system Of in
jirect taxation. and all Of the changes in our
r,yenue laws during the past twenty years
have been in this direction, with the result
that since the passage of the original cor
pora,ion law, in s these receipts have
grown from siil.l27OS to $i8,?38.4A 90.
which includes the special tax for Idges
and stenographers." He adds:
There q an impression that the benefits
cl Indirect taxation have been secured at
tie expense OF the larger centres OF popn.
truth than this because It can be shown
that II all such receipts we're TO go TO the
I"c1llties from which they come and re-
kaI to
,ecesssrv for the states maintenance, the
amount collected from the larger localities
