made by the national government with
the Indians, as it involved a tract Of
land so great as to be an empire in ex-
tent. 1t would be proper for the state
to mark the spot where this treaty Oc
Cured, and as there are but few sur
vivors of that scene, action should not
be too long deferred. A small appropria-
ton would provide for suitable monu-
ment for that purpose.
NoN-PART1sAN JUDICIARY.
In framing our form Of government
the final guarantee Of the preservation
Of the liberties of the people was vested
in the judiciary. It was deemed that an
independent judiciary was sufficient
protection against oppression and un-
constitutional legislation. 1t is felt
ing judges, thru partisan conventions,
these objects are not fully attained.
There is general demand for some
change in the system Of selecting the
judiciary. To accomplish a change
from our present system two methods
upon the national ideas of appointment
and life tenure, the other by separate
election held in the spring of the year at
! the time of the annual town and village
| elections. OF the two systems, the lat
| ter in my opinion is preferable. Under
a primary election law it is impossible
to nominate a nOn-part1san judiciary,
and I would, therefore, recommend that
this law be so amended as to eliminate
| judicial offices from its provisions and
that law be enacted which will pro
vide for separate judicial election. I
realize that no radical innovation would
be adopted by the legislature, but the
! question being of such transcendent i'm
portance, I commend it. to you for your
most serious consideration.
CONCLUSION.
We are assembled today in the new
capitol of the state. This splendid edi
fee is monument to the energy, pros.
perity and culture of our people. What
ever opposition may have existed to its
erection in the past, the people are now
the capital city Of our beloved state.
This building is the property of the
state, and was provided as a place IL
which should be transacted the business
Of the people. AS their servants, you
and [ are commissioned to perform the
duties of our several offices in their In
1 terest. We should here dedicate our
! selves to that service, pledging our zeal
our fidelity and our honest purpose IN an
endeavor to do our duty, to the people
who have reposed in us their confidence
and their trust. We should build not fol
today alone, but that future genera
tions might reap the. reward OF honest
patriotic effort. If there must be sacri
fee, let it not be at the expense of the
Estate. If we must regard political con
isiderations, let us also remember that
political parties are but the vehicles Of
u good government, and that you and
8 will best serve the parties of our choice
i by conscientious effort to serve bu
one master, and that master the sove

an average per capita increase of
SOL, or nearly 10 per cent, in the three
years of the boards administration
When we consider that this 10 per cent
advance amounts in the aggregate to
about $4,000 a year, we appreciate
ceive it. The board seems to have
been just and liberal with its employees,
so far as appropriations would per-
nit, which action will meet with gen.
eral appreciation.
In the purchase of supplies the board
makes showing that should forever
set at rest all criticism as to the meth
ton the report also shows that it's gross
purchases of supplies for the biennial
period aggregates more than million
and one-quarter dollars, and that, elm
mating the purchase of coal for the
year, 80 Clio per cent of this amount
was purchased within the state. This
would indicate most emphatically that
our home markets are not Disseminated
against. In the letting of contracts for
the construction of new buildings and
purchase Of materials therefor, the same
intelligent methods have been in vogue,
and still additional thousands have been
saved the state.
luo pOl1Cy Ol lue lHo con-
struction Of none but fireproof build
ings, cannot be too heartily commend
ed. The state cannot afford to build
others than enduring structures, in
which its charges will be safe from ere
nation.
That it has the interest of the state
constantly in mind is evidenced by the
attention to the inspection of jails,
lockups, etc., and as well the deporta-
ton of nonresident dependents.
The recommendations of the board as
to legislation and appropriations are en-
titled to, and [ am sure will receive,
careful consideration at your hands.
They are based upon a knowledge Of
conditions acquired by actual contact
with each institution, and careful.
study of the needs and requirements
thereof impossible to you, gentlemen,
individually or by committee, in the
| limited time at your disposal and the
| multiplicity of duties imposed upon you.
Their recommendations for appropria-
tions are made, not from the selfish

In this regard I suggest for your
consideration the wisdom of providing
for a permanent tax commission. In
states where such commission exists re-
suits have been satisfactory. In the
state Of Michigan the wisdom of the

into operation the aggregate increased

also favor such action as will en-
able us to impose a franchise tax.
The objection urged to the payment of
franchise taxes is that corporations
whose franchises are proposed to be
taxed have certain tangible property
and that said tangible property must
be valued as other like property; that
upon such valuation alone can taxes
be assessed and levied against cor
porate assets. But this wholly ignores
! the right to tax intangible property.
