We see quoted In the Democratic
press OF this state tho statement OF
Mr.. Cornwell, that, as he forecasted in
1904 when a candidate for the gov
ernorship. the tax laws thon being
advocated by tho Republican party
would prove failure. suppose he
bases this charge on the fact that there
was deficit found to exist whom
came into the governors office on ac-
count Of extraordinary expenditures,
as well as more than million dollars
excess In appropriations over available
revenues. These appropriations had
been made by the legislature at time
when the Senate was equally divided
between the Democrats and the Re-
publicans, This million dollars was
represented in appropriations for new
buildings and improvements to state
institutions which feel are important
enough to enumerate and / leave II to
the citizens, or at least to those who
hear these remarks, to conclude for
themselves as to what items SHOULD
have been eliminated by the legisla-
ture. feel that not one should have
been left out. l have had flrst-hand
knowledge Of the necessity Of each and
every improvement made because !
have kept in close touch with the
needs OF each institution. These APP
preparations were absolutely necessary
for the purpose of relieving the crowd
ed condition Of our state institutions
and to meet the accommodating demand
that has been made upon US for many
years, on account Of the increased pop
ulation Of our state. The improve
ments made at the institutions and the
amount Of money expended during the
last two years Is as follows:
Many improvements.
