FIRST. MESSAGE.
New Executive Sends TO Legis,
lature Recommendations.

In his first message to the legislat-
ure Governor Colquitt says he hopes
the demands for specific legislation
made by the last Democratic platform
ssrnay be lived up to by the members
of our party, and If strife must come
and bitterness of spirit prevail, let 1t
be on the hastings and not inthe man
agement Of affairs of government. "
He believes there Is no pubic de-
mand for general new legislation;
that legislative rest is desired
Saws laws regulating corporations
are strong enough and additional re-
strictions not needed.
He believes it the duty of the law
makers to carry out the plank adopt
ed favoring submission Of prohibition
to vote of the people and set the
date as early as is consistent with
fairness to those differing In opinion
over the principle Of prohibition.
Serves notice that If any prohibit
orv hauor bills are passed,before PEG.
nle mass on matter same will be vetoed
Favors secretary of state having the
right to refuse charter to any social
club unlawfully dispensing liquor or
conducting gambling
Saws local option Is the most ra-
tional form of prohibition and will use
every energy to enforce it. Insists all
laws must be enforced whether or not
satisfactory to officials
system OF taxation is declared not

state purposes should be separated
fron those taxed for county and other
local purposes. Favors constitu-
tianal amendment of this kind being
submitted at next general election.
saws methods of keeping the states
accounts are ruch it is difficult to get
accnrate information; thinks records
should accurately show beginning and
ending OF any matter. Under sta 9
