none lies nearer the herats of the
, whole people than the so-called chart
table institutions-thosc for the care
of the blind, the deaf and dumb, and
the insane. | have purpOSely omitted
the care of the feeble and needed Con-
federate soldiers, because they should
not be treated as objects of charity.
They are entitled to the gratitude and
liberal support of the rising genera
ton who admire the heroism of the
men who placed their bodies as liv-
ing walls between THEN honest convic-
tons as to the great doctrine Of states
rights and those who were equally
as honestly opposed to them In an
other part Of my message, ! shall dis
cuas the separate control Of the Con-
fedcratc home. All of these institu-
tons should ever be held high above
all partisan and political influence
and should never become spoils in the
hands of any man or set OF men and
should be dealt with and considered
solely with view to the proper care
of those who come within their walls.
Patriotism, pure and simple, and hui
mainly in It's tenderest phases.
Believing strongly in the merit and
efficiency Of the honorary board sys-
tenn, | respectfully recommend to the
general assembly that the present
salaried charity board be abolished
and. in lieu thereof, there be created
an honorary board of seven members,
two of whom shall always be females,
enc from each congressional district,
who shall receive a per diem of So
and actual travelling expenses, these
members to be appointed by the gov
ernor for a term of six years begin
ming April LIST after their appoint
ment; provided that of the first board
appointed two shall serve for two
years, two for four years, and three
for six years, their appointments to
be confirmed by the joint assembly of
the Two houses before they are valid.
The board so constituted should elect
paid secretary, not a member of the
board, at salary not exceeding $1,000
per annum, who should have no 9th
er employment during his term of ser"
vice superntendtnts for terms not eX-
cecding four years, his salary to be
fixed by the board, who, together with
the board, should have supervision
over tho steward as to the kind, quail
ity and quantity of the supplies to be
purchased, and who is to be held to
a strict accountability for the admin
istration of the institution over which
they are placed.

commodations and extensions in con-
nection with the Confederate home,
and we can take steps to see that the
full pro rata allowed each veteran I'M
der the present law is 500 per year,
instead of $50 as at the present time.
This pro rata is fixed by the size of the
tax rate, the ever shifting total in
taxable values, and the number of
pensioners. | am informed by promi-
nont and thoroughly reliable ex-Con-
federate soldiers that there are many
instances of fraud in connection with
our pension rolls, which need purging,
in the interest of bona fide Confeder-
ates who are entitled to the benefits
of our present law: that this fraud
arises in most cases because there are
some among the 1871 pensioners on
our rolls who deserted the Confed-
crate army or who left the army with
out any legitimate or lawful excuse,
and others who perjura themselves as
being paupers, when as a matter of
fact, they are in good circumstances,
are now on the pension rolls. Three
years ago Alabama created pension
commission. which, after an investi-
cation of all the documents and proofs
Of service, based on an examination
of the Confederate muster rolls in the
adjutant- general office at Washing
ton, purged the pension roll in that
state of about third of the PEN
sioners then on the rolls, and | am
frank to say that if the general as
sembly creates an honorary commits :
sion, composed of Confederate sol
diers or their sons, to supervise the
home. | will PROMPTLY sign the bill
attach to the creation of new CO.
mission.

Tenth: Statewide county superin-
tendency law-Twenty-six counties in
Arkansas have greatly improved their
educational systems by the adoption
Of the county superintendency sys-
tenn, which means better supervision,
greater uniformity of courses, a care
full audit of the finances of each
school, and more effective control of
teachers and pupils. The general as
sembly can afford to consider serious
ly the question of making the adop-
tions of this system mandatory upon
every county in the state. In my
humble opinion, it is simply ques-
ton of time until county superinten-
dency will be universally adopted by
the counties of Arkansas voluntarily,
so why postpone giving them the
benefits which both theory and prac-
demonstrate will flow from it?

missioner of state accounts, as would
be absolutely necessary TO do the work
efficiently. The successful experience
of our state bank department in check
ing up the banks under their surveil-
lance, with g. very small clerical force,
furnishes an eloquent argument for
the practicability and economy OF
such a system.
Special Tax for Education.
At every meeting of the legislature,
the question Of making appropriations
to the state educational institutions
comes up for consideration. Under
present conditions it is absolutely
necessary for representatives of those
institutions to spend considerable
amount time at the legislature at
tempting to secure the necessary APP
preparations for operation and main
tenance expenses. This results in a
scramble for appropriations and any
institution which does not engage in
it will almost certainly fail to secure
the money needed to carry on It's
work.
Furthermore, when an institution is
unable to know until after the meet
ing of the legislature what appropria-
ton it will receive for the following
biennial period, it is impossible for
that institution to follow consistently
any plan of advancement and improve
ment. Oftentimes an institution will
hesitate to begin line of work which
seems to be very necessary for the
reason that it does not know whether
it will have sufficient funds to con-
tinue it.
After q thorough study of the CUES
ton, | have come to endorse and tc
recommend to the general assembly
for adoption a plan that has already
been adopted in l0 states Of the union
and has proved far better than the ole
system Of making biennial appropla,,
tons from the general revenue fund
My recommendation is that a special
tax be levied and collected each veal
for the support of the state supported
educational institutions, including the
state university, the state norma
school the four agricultural schools
the medical school, and the branch nor
NAL college The total amount OF the
tax levy for this purpose should be de.
termined by The general assembly ant
| the percentage Of the tax to go tt
each individual institution should b.
stated in the law. The tax should be
large enough to. support adequately tn
various institutions, which are all 90
| ing a splendid constructive work fol
! Arkansas with very limited means a
their disposal. When the amount o.
I the special tax for this purpose is de
/ termined it can be deducted from the
levy for general purposes.
The idea of special tax for the state
educational institutions is simply al
extension fthe idea Of specific tai
/ levied in the various local school dis
| tricts of the state for school purposes
| AS is we'll known such tax is leviet
! in every, school district in the state
and no attempt is made to support the
| public schools from the general rev.
enus fund of the counties or cities and
towns.
