Hartford, Jan. 3-Foalowing is the
text of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb's
message read before the joint ses-
sion of senate and house at opening
of 1917 general assembly:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
General Assembly:
No other general assembly has been
confronted with such world condl-
tons as exist today, and none other
has been required to meet greater re-
sponSfbilitieS than you may be reQuir-
er to meet.
The United States has been exempt
from active participation in the strug-
gle which involves most of the nations
of the old world and includes our
neighbors in Canada, but we have had
complications which resulted in n1obil-
izing our National Guard and calling
them into service to protect our. state
bordering on Mexico from invasion
Proud of National Guard.
We are justly proud of the record for
efficiency made by the several units
of the Connecticut National Guard, and
are devoutly thankful that they have
been returned to their homes with
out greater sacrifice than was neces-
sari1y caused by a prolonged, enforc-
ed absence from business and home re-
latfons.
While we earnestly desire to keep
out of war yet our Immunity is not
assured, and l recommend the placing
constitution, under which. in event Of
a future war requiring this state to
provide troops the electors among
them may be permitted to participate
in the elections without the necessity
of calling a special session of the gem
eral assembly to pass enabling 1egis-
latiOn.
State Finances.
Two years ago in my inaugural mes
sage. I discussed at length the finances
of the state and made number of
recommendation to the general as
sem bly, which, in my opinion, If adopt
ed, would provide sufficient annual in
come to meet the fixed charges, pay a
certain amount towards the reduction
of the states Indebtedness. and would
also provide for some permanent i'm
provements. I am pleased to state
that the general assembly of 1915 en-
bodied into statutes practically all of
he recommendations relative to state |
finances.
The result is that the new revenue |
avs have changed the condition of |
he state treasury from one of a con- |
inually increasing deficit to one of a |
surplus which is apparently sufficient |
It present to meet the reasonable fix
ID charges and to provide for a sub |
;tantia1 payment each year to reduce /
he states Indebtedness. In confirma-
ion of this statement I append
statement of the finances of the state |
or each fiscal year for the last ten |
ears Excluding bonds and loans from
he items of expenditures and re-
,eipts.)

estate and other tangible property
should also be valued under the direc-
ton of the tax commissioners office
As | stated two years ago. such q
procedure would be a desirable RELIEF
to the judges of our probate courts
and would insure uniformity of valEa-
lions, and result in valuable curs1ula-
tive information and a substantially
increased revenue to the state from
this source
Necessary Expenditures.
The expense of our legislative, judi
creases somewhat from year to year
and the expense of our penal, reform
atory, insane, epileptic and feeble
minded institutions constantly in
creases because of the necessity OF
providing enlarged accommodations to
receive and care for them, and be-
cause of the increasing cost of main
tenance.
EpiIeptic and Feeble Minded.
Buildings and accommodations for
the feeble minded are being established
in the town of Mansfield on property
of the state where the buildings for
the care of epileptics are located. The
accommodation for these unfortunates
requires frequent enlargement, and the
management of both classes, and the
construction of the buildings to house
them with the appurtenant heating
and lighting plants and water sup
plies, should, for purposes of economy
and efnciency, be under the supervision
of a single board or commission as is
the case at present in eighteen other
states
I recommend that you provide for
such single board or commission in
lieu of the two present separate COM
missions.
State Insane Hospital at MiddIetown.
The hospital for the insane at Mid
dietown is in urgent need of an adj
ditional building for the care Of acute
cases. This would be both humane and
economical, as it would result in a
larger percentage of recoveries and
thus lessen the number of patients.
The Inebriate Farm.
If we are to care for any consider
able number of our inebriates, the ac-
irebrrite farm must be materially en-
arged. The success experienced with
the limited number committed there
warrants the belief that a more gem
cral commitment to this institution
would be a great benefit to the state
md to the inebriates. 1t would relieve
he congestion in our jails by the elm
nation of the present practice of re-
1eated commitments thereto of con-
irmed inebriateS, and would be a great
saving to the several counties in the
saving of the cost attending the re-
5eated prosecution and commitment of
nebriates.

FELL FROM LOFT;
HURT THEN WELL
HOW A MAN WHO LANDED ON
WOOD PILE AND WAS SORE
FROM HEAD TO FOOT
FOUND QUICK RELIEF.

Once upon "a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot. Mass, climbed up
into a loft to get some building ma
terial. just as many another man hv-
ing in the country must often do.
Suddenly he slipped and fell. Ten
feet below was a pile of wood, knotted
and gnaried. 1t was a nasty tumble
and Mr.. Putnam was injured painfully
IN the back. he was covered with
bruises, and was sore from head to
foot.
The next day he bought a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended Ito him. Within a very
few hours the soreness had vanished
and the lameness had disappeared
He was an active man once more.
E1oanss Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores. Csc. soc. and S1OO.

foFFIcER's VERBAL STATEMENT
~PRoNoUNCED A GOOD WILL
Made Before Fellow British Officers
Before Going Into Action in Which
Testaotor Was Killed.

London, Jan. BIN one of the courts
of justice recently a verbal statement
before witnesses, without any writing,
was pronounced a good will. This
statement was made by an officer
(since killed in action) who told his
brother officers that if he were killed
ALI his property was to go to his wife
The possibility of executing such a
valid will is a privilege reserved to
soldiers and sailors on active service by
an Act of 1877 which says ANY SOL
der being in actual military service,
or any mariner or seaman being at
sea, may dispose of movable wages

Funded Debt Decreased se4, 900.

1t Will be noted however that the
funded debt has been decreased only
S64 ,0O0, the reason being that the own
ers of the Funded Debt Bonds will not
surrender them without receiving a
prohibitive premium, but the same re-
suit can be reached if you shall pro-
vide for transfer of cash from the
Civil List Fund to the Sinking Fund,
and authorize its investment in such
municipal securities as will yield a
rate of interest equal to that paid upon
the Funded Debt Bonds. 1 rocom-
n1ended that $4,000, 100000 be thus
transferred. This would assure the tax
payers that SO much of their contribu-
lions have been judiciously used.
The present income from miscella-
neous corporations and inheritances,
due to special conditions during the
past year. is probably larger than may
be expected from these sources in the
future.
Necessary Increase in Appropriations.
Considering the natural necessary
increase in the appropriations for the
various Institutions and departments
of the state, due to the constant in
crease of the inmates in the institu-
tions supported by the state, and to
the higher cost of living. and the cost
of necessary additions to and enlarge
ment Of such institutions to care for
the ever increasing number of inmates
therein, and the cost of constructing a
T0dlSO1IdOIe aQulL1On TO our improved
highways with the cost of maintaining
them and the bridges thereon, am Of
the opinion that the revenue from the
present sources is not greater than is
duct of the affairs of the state and to
make a reasonable annual payment
upon the state debt.
Except possibly to simplify the ad-
ministratfve features of some of the
revenue laws. I am of the opinion that
they should not be materially amend
ed. and that we should continue to re-
quire a substantial state tax from the
towns. In addition to the needed rev
enue derived from a state tax, it is
valuable and useful as constant re-
hinder that state expenditures must be
met by state receipts.
Board of Finance.
The adoption of my recommendation
for the creation of State Board of
Finance is a notable step forward in
the interest Of economical expenditures
of the states revenue. The fact that
the board is a continuous body which
can accumulate valuable comparative
information relative to the needs of the
various institutions and departments,
and that it will cooperate with the
eral assembly in acting on all appro-
priation bills, will prove to~be of in
creasingly great financial benefit to the
state.
inheritance Tax.
The transfer of the administration
of the inheritance tax law to the tax
commissioners department has result
ed in increased revenue, more equitable
appraisals and more uniform procedure
in determining the final DEGREES. 1 now
renew my recommendation made two
years ago that the tax commissioner
be required to value all Intangible
property of estates of decedents which
are subject to an inheritance tax in
this state In fact, it would result in
greater uniformity in valuation if real
