RESPONSIBLE, DECLARES
GILLETT IN MESSAGE

? SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.-The COVER
nor's message in part says:
''At the most urgent request of clearing
houses, banking Institutions, civic bod
les and many prominent business men
from all parts of the state, have called
you together for the purpose of enacting
certain legislation which is believed to
be imperative because OF the most un-
usual financial strinsency existing today
in the state, brought about by condi-
tions existing in the east.
1T is very important that the finances
of the state should reach a normal con-
dition as speedily as possible, and there
is every reason to believe that this will
be so, IL our people are patient and will
view the situation philosophically and
take no steps embarrass the banking
institutions OF this state that are now
using every effort possible to restore con-
fidence and to replace. the reserves that
for several months have been depleted
by reason of the movement of crops and
by tho action of timid depositors who
have withdrawn their money and
boarded 1t.
.'The country generally is very prosper
Gus, our state is particularly So and
there is no reason why this prosperity
should not continue. Legitimate busl-
ness never was better Tho farmers in
every state have been blessed with
large crops for a number Of years, for
which they have received good prices.
All the wheels of industry are turning,
trying TO supply the enormous demands
made Upon them. A / labor is employed
at the highest wages ever known and
the merchants have been enjoying a
large trade. There is no poverty in the
land yet in the midst Of plenty, and
apparently on a most solid basis, and
with mo-e money in the country and a
larger per capita than we ever enjoyed
before, the nation finds itself in the
throes OF money panic.
1T is quite evident that there mus be
some cause for this condition of affairs
and It is found in the extravagant iiv-
ing Wild speculation, the effort to gel
rich quickly by giving nothing for some
thing, the frenzed finance Of the stock
ana bond manipulators OF Wall street.
