was full attendance Of legislators and q
large number Of spectators, all Of whom
vigorously applauded that part Of the adj
dress which dealt with the States military
preparations. tho Governor urging the
Legislature to tako action at once and roc
ommending the appropriation as favored
by the committee OF public safety The
American flag was much in evidence as
the audience gave noisy approval and
there certainly could be no criticism Of
the quality Of the patriotism Of those
assembled
The message was a short one and
not only dealt with the military situa-
ton but called attention to the fact
that the budget committee had cxti-
mated the expenses OF tho State de.
partments for the next biennial period
at $4.700,00o. allowing in this amount
contingent and deficiency appropria-
lions of 100000 a year. Assured reve-
nue., above that pledged to certain pur-
poses for the next two years, will be
$4.000.000, leaving 100000. exclusive
Of the contingent appropriations. to be
provided for. To overcome this def
cit, Governor Graham said, would ro-
Quire an annual direct tax for the years
1918 and 1910 OF ten per cent. each
year. The figures submitted do not in
clude any extraordinary expense the
State may be put to on account OF the
military situation.
