| This comparison shows that the old soldiers their widows and children re- ceived nearly three times as much money during the five years of the Jelks administration as they got during the five years immediately proceeding.
 Of all the departments of the State government. the convict department has, perhaps. during the Jelks admin istration. shown the most marked im- provement. This evolution was caused by change of policy put into effect by the present administration. A coni- parison of the last two periods of five years each will show the wonderful advancement in the financial adminis- tration of this department during the time from 1901 to 1906.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-04


 From the above comparison 1t Is seen that during the Jelks administra- tfon the net earnings of the Convict Department have been a little over nine times as much as for the five years preceding his administration. Is not this a remarkable showing?
 Notwithstanding the vast expendi- lures that were made last year. 1905. in the interest of Old Soldiers, Public Schools and other causes and in spite of the fact that the Constitutional Con- venion of 1901 reduced the tax rate in Alabama from seventy-five cents to sixty-fve cents on the hundred dol- lars the State Treasury was able to show on September the 30th, 1905, the ending of the last fiscal year. the lar gest balance in the financial history of this State at that time Of the year. and that balance is maintained up to the present time.
 This successful finncial condition, in the face of the vast expenditures above set forth, and the reduced tax rate is, in part, accounted for by the fact that during the Jelks administration the as- sessed valuation of taxable property in this State has been increased nearly one hundred million dollars. This in- crease, to a great extent has been ef- fected by the Governor instracting the State Examiners of Public Accounts to prod the County Tax Assessors and urge them to see that increased valua- tions. were given in.
