GOVERNOR VARDAMANS MESSAGE

Governor Vardaman' Message
which was read before the legislature
On Wednesday is couched in attract.
i've words and phrases, Is beautiful in
sentiment and upon the whole breathes
patriotic spirit.
His review Of the States finances
should cause some apprehension upon
che part of those who know the real
condition Of people and who fully rea-
Nze that the money to get the State
out of the hole into which it seems to
DC going deeper, must come out OF
sise earnings Of every taxpayer. We
think the Governor would have served
his people better had he stated in pos
itiye and unmistakable language that
the time has arrived to call halt in
making appropriations. He empha-
sizes the needs Of the Industrial In
sItute and College at Columbus, the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Starkville and the University OF
Mississippi at Oxford. The legiSla-
ture has never dealt with these insti-
tutions in any "niggardly and parsi-
mOniOuS" manner. On the contrary,
it has rather pursued the policy of
saying t. the management Of these
respective schools: Here's the treas
ury vaults, you people get together
and see how much you want and take
st " We believe i'm the maintenance
0l these colleges upon progressive
basis but not with a lavish hand.
We know that the one who raises his
voice against whatever demands these
schools make is in danger of being de-
nominated a "knOcker" and an "Old
fogy"-A little dose of fogyism is
frequently needful.
Again we do not agree with the
Governor in what he says about the
issuance of long time bonds to meet
current demands. We think that
governments should be conducted, as
nearly as possible, as business man
would manage his private interests.
The next generation will have prob
iemS enough Of its own to deal with,
obligations enough to meet without
meeting those of the present genera
ton. Let's simplify the task of our
children rather than complicate it.
TIE issuance Of bonds too, IS an
easy way to fool the tax payer. The
maturity OF the debt is deferred and he
is blinded as to the use of the funds
realized from the sale OF bonds. The
governor is thoroughly practical in his
recommendations as to the peniten-
tiary management and it is hoped
that the legislature will see proper to
enact legislation that will abrogate
the board Of control. He uttered a |
xuiSm when he said: "Where some
thing is to be done, my observation is,
that boards are awkward. slow and
iEef1icient. One responsible, capable
head is worth more than q dozen
boards of control"
He reiterates his campaign slogan
On negro education and suggests
amendment that will |
suable the legislature to handle the
sGbject.
The message covers almost every !
prominent subject before the people
Of the State and his recommendations
uill doubtless receive careful and
considerationby the law
body of the State.

jackson, Miss, Jan. Especial.
The proposed million dollar bond
issue to be used in putting the state 8
finances in good shape again, now
seems TO be a certainty. Among the
legislators who have arrived in the
city it is impossible to find a member
who advocates an increase of the state
levy in order to solve the financial
problem, and it may be predicted in
the most positive manner that the
present six-mill levy will not be in
creased.
AS compared with other Southern
commonwealths, Mississippi has a
very small bonded Indebtedness, and
the proposed million dollar issue is
not OF sufficient moment to cause
criticism. The total payable debt Of
the state, including the $500, 600 bond
issue and the $500, 600 loan negotiated
during the present administration, is
only 81, 442, 1881. The non-payable
eebt, meaning the Indebtedness on
which the interest alone is to be paid,
the principal to remain forever out
standing unless its discharge is pro-
vided for by constitutional amend
ment, is So, 1888, ,899.62, which makes
the total debt of the commonwealth
33, 876, 623.13.
Tennessee, with an assessed valua-
tion about 800, 900, 900 larger than
that OF Mississippi, has total state
indebtedness Of over SIS, 900, 600, but
the state tax levy of that common
wealth is only three and one-half
mills. Louisiana's assessed valuation
is almost the same as that OF Tennes-
see, and the state debt is over S12,.
900, 900, with a tax levy of six mills.
Alabama, in 1904. had an assessed
valuation Of 1924, 124, 343, as compar-
ed with 1892, 1872, 199 for Mississippi,
and her state debt is %, ,537, 900,
while the state tax levy is six and
one-half mills.-Ex.

SO unexpected by Mr.. Dobson that ne

The tobacco market opened UP in

there were about seventy-fve thousand

be entirely satisfactory to the farmers.
There was a small crop of the weed
planted in this section this year, and
the seasons have been so unfavorable

planted. The farmers and warehouse
men are looking for higher prices This
