By authority of an act toassed bv the !ast legislature, a commission, with vjne governor as cnalrman, was given j power to adjust the state's Indebted. id . - nees,. and this was done to the perfect satisfaction or our creditors and with nonor to xne state. Now all indebted ness except the iniquitous special-tax ;. bonds, which were repudiated both by 'ie legislature and the people, ha been finally settled on a perfectly just . basis. Today we can truly say the state owes l.othlng; for, while Its "'Bonded Indebtedness lue in 1918 .mounts to $1,886,000, and the par value of our stock is only $4,403,610, still, yrhen we learn that the stock in the -North Carolina Railroad Is worth ,8 Bpep share and will soon be more, we find that not only can we pay off our Indebtedness, but still have more than a million -dollars balance to the state's -credit- ' The last general assembly appro y piiated $500,000 to more adequately and humanely care for our helpless insane, ' -and by authority of the law I ap- pointed a commission to cany out its provisions. After carefully ami Im partially considering its work, I can ? .endorse what the commission has done, and ask that it be continued until it completes what It has begun. Some 4 people, not knowing that all the money .appropriated was not at once availa ble, and not considering that land had v In some instances to be bought and material supplied, have seen fit to 'criticise the commission for being too T Blow; but when all Is understood and It Is known what steps have already been taken and what will be accom plished in the end, they will be ready to exclaim with me, "Well done!" . I will enumerate what has already been 'done and what will soon be available: '"A good tract of land on which to bui'.d ' an epileptic hospital has been pur ftchased at a fair price. This will, also ;, : furnish a good farm, on which the ' patients ran work, thus making them ' more healthy and also adding to their 4 support. A wing to the Eastern Hos-,-. pltal which accommodates 100 putients ' ,, hae been completed. A nurses' home i at Morganton is about ready for oc cupation, and, when the nurses move ' Into It, will give space for 100 more jk patients In what are now the .-nurses' quarters. Another building at Rnleigh for 100 women Is now under rapid con traction; three brick buildings, colony plan, at Raleigh, for 100 convalescent patients; also six more brick bu'ld Ings at Raleigh three for 100 epileptic women and three for 100 epileptic men will be finished by April 1st; alio i . two brick buildings at the colored hos- pltal at Goldsboro for forty epileptic i patients, and two' frame buildings for! forty tubercular patients, besides all ' need repairs at the hospital having been made, show how the commission r-has tried to carry out the will of the l should be enacted by, you, not in a legislature.

What the last legislature did for these unfortunate ones cannot he com mended too much, and J nninpstlv hope that your body, actuated by the - . same merciful spirit, will complete the ?' work so nobly begun. The last general assembly passed an ;4 act fixing maximum passenger and - freight rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile. with a request for a 2-cent mileage book. The legislature disregarded my suggestion and fixed a 2 1-4-cent rata i: per mile, and also fixed freight rates. Hearing that the railroads intended i. to refuse to obey the law, I had a con ' ' ference with certain railroad author ities, and proposed that the new law be ' 1 given a fair trial for six or eight months, and if the Increase In travel , made it remunerative the law should ?i stand, but if It were shown that the railroads were losing money I would at once convene the legislature and ' ask them to remedy the wrong. The railroads refused to agree to this plan, j 7 and also would not obey the law, but took out Injunctions In the federal A courts. With no feeling of bitterness to the railroads, but believing it my jt sworn duty to enforce the law passed H by the legislature, whether I approved or disapproved the rate flxeu, I t- i . ' ril tempted to enforce the law, and would "" " have done so If It had taken every i - i't collar in the treasury and put arms in Jv.i'll the hands of every available man In v- V Serious trouble for a time seemed ';"t imminent; there was a conflict between , y state and federal authorities, and much u'.bad blood engendered. However, cool Ahead on both sides prevented any vuwiwh, uiuii at itini. u com- promise that I deemed fair to both the railroads and the state was effected, which agreement was ratified by the no frlotlon has existed; for, while the to nssess all property at a fair valua rallroads did not put the mileages, tlon, and then have as low a rbte books on sale and for use In the man- as posElUe, for a high rate and low as. ner contemplated by the agreement, ' sesimont frighten both home-seekers and certainly not In the spirit, even and Investors away, while a low rate if in the letter, of the compromise, in and h'gh valuation would properly au other respects they have faithfully vertlse us and cause them to settle complied with their agreement, and the amongst us.

M-. unjustly distuiminating in lYt-ight rates in favor of other utatcs and against North Carolina. The Corporation Com. iniss'on employed counsel and present ed anexceedingly strong ttise before the ihterstnt Commerce Commission. The matter has been heard, and we have, rtroag -.hopes of success, ax our cause Is just, our complaint being not so much that the freight rubes are ex cessive, but unjust, as giving other states better rates than ours (when they should be uniform), and thus put. ting our shippers and merchants at great disadvantage. If we lose before the Interstate Commerce Commission, then we must appeal to congress to right the wrong by passing just laws to prevent such wrongful disciimina tlon. In this connection I would soy that. In my judgment, little railroad legislation is necessary at this season I suggest that you pass a resolution requesting the railroads to remedy the annoyance and inconvenience put upon the traveling public by the present use of the mileage book, and I believe they will comply with your request. I also recommend that certain un just penalties against railroads be modified, for such laws are wrong, and in the end the penalties are usually collected out of the public, which gets no part of the penalty. I will give one Instance: A party ships an article; It Is lost: the railroads cannot show how, and so a penalty of $25 for the first day and $5 for every day there after is exacted. Instances have come to my notice where the parties not only recovered the value of the goods, but also enor mous penalties, although the actual value of the property did not exceed ono or two dollars. ' The true rule should be a recovery of the property, together with any actual damage sus tained by reason of the loss. Let the legislature review all these penalty laws, and modify and change them so as to be perfectly just to both shippers and railroads. No person but a demagogue desires to unjustly injure railroads, for they are the great art eries of commerce, and perhaps do more than any other one factor to build up a state's resources, and, in stead of being ucddlessly crippled, they should be encouraged and protected, prov'ded they do not violate the law, and then they should be controlled and made to obey, Just as individuals have to. do.." Many other Important matters were passed . by the last general assembly, but I feel It my duty to call your at- ' t,i1 tv.the'! ve ; vitally affected the state's prosperity, and must be in many respects sustained and added to by you. New liavs Keconimended. I will now call you attention, as en Joined upon me by the Const'tutlon, to such laws as, in my judgment, pressing laws now neeuea to oe passea. and the fewer you pass and the qu'eker you adjourn, the better, In my judg ment, will it be for the state. Governors Salary, In the very first days of your ses sion I ask you to Increase the gover nor's salary from $4,000 to $6,00o. and the salary of the commissioner of labor arid printing to $2,300. AH other sal aries except these were increased at the last session. Members of congress get $7,5i0 per year, work about half a year, and can engage In other work. Many sheriffs and clerks In North Carolina get over $5,000 a year, yet the governor, who cannot engage In other work, but works all the time and has to entertain a great deal, only gets $4,000. Gentlemen, it is not enough. Asking this Increase can do me no good, for in less than a week I return to private life. I have lived economic ally, and yet each year I have spent $2,000 more than rshave received. A gavernor ought not to desire to make one dollar, for to hold the office is a great honor, but he ought not to be required to serve the people for less than his actual expenses. I ask you, therefore, to at once Increase the sal ary of the governor and the labor commissioner, for after they are in augurated It cannot be done. . Tuxntkm. Nothing will come before you fraught with more Interest to the state than the question of taxation, and yet there is nothing more difficult than to ascer tain the best method of properly as BCSElng both real and personal prop erty for taxation, as required by Article V, section 3, of the Constitution, which says that "Laws shall be passed tax ing by a uniform rate all money (credits, etc., and also all real and per- j sunai properly, accoruing to ixs true j value In money." To me the true rule, ' and the one that will Induce the most j capital and best class ,of people and than they pay In taxes to tha state, 'and the' assessed value placed upon property varies about to proportion to the number of counties In the state. Borne counties assess property at a - A J& 2U fair value, others at about half, and sided over by the . president of the some as low as a third, and yet they United States, the president requested may all be situated in the same local- every state not already having a com. lty and be equally fert:le and rich, mission for the preservation of Its This Is absolutely unfair to individual natural resources to at once establish tax-payers and counties that act right, one, so that, acting w;th a similar and violates the rule of uniformity national commission, the wate now prescribed by the Constitution.

Let this rule be adopted, and we will soon find that we will have ' alt the taxes nccissary to defray the expenses of the state, and still, the ratw will be much . lowjr than at present. ' I advise that the present law in re gard to the board of equalization be repealed, as it is too costly, with no method to properly enforce it and no proper method of ascertaining the true value of property in the various counties. s , Primaries and Elections. Obtaining nominations and being elected to office arc becoming too ex pensive, and. alas, often fraudulent ' methods are resorted to in order to win. Wli'le it seems that in these j days the office does not seek tht man, j but the main the office, still he should be required to do so with clean hands and correct practices. To remedy- this j growing evil, after a most careful mend a ltgallzed primary law for the nomination of all state, county and municipal olficers, and that on a cer tain day, to be fixed in the law, at least sixty days before the election, there; ba held throughout the entire state, at the regular polling precincts, a legalized primary for all political parties. In this law I earnestly ask that you insert a ' publicity clause. requ:ring every candidate, '-.''manager, worker, friend or other, person collecting or m-lnir money In the Interest of a can-.! dldate, either in the primary or at j the regular election, to render, under -oath, a statement of the amount of money received, from what source' and J how expended. - Also insert a clause that, whenever any newspaper flr Individual, during a campaign, either in the primary or at the regu lar election, shall, for the purpose of injuring or detracting from any can didate's chances for election, wantonly and falsely make any scandalous, malicious, immoral or degrading charges" agaWst any candidate, either orally or in writing or print, said news paper, person or persons so oJfend!n? shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It is right that true charges be made, omplished, by these, higher Inst'tu and. If true, should be made to prevent., tlon, coupled with tha, fuits produced bad men from be:ng elected or noml- 'rom our putHo scHoV'.'lm' added at nated: but before waking nuch charges much as any other Hmirhentallty to the paper or persons should be certain , the wealth and prosperity now enjoy they are true and not, for malicious ied by the etate. s . purposes, try thus to ruin and degrade ! Vhat I have said of the above in a candidate.' stltutlons cm Hkew'se be said of the Criminal Proceedure. 'To . ' lv' rnllnf tn snm. crowded dockets, and for the more speedy en forcement of the criminal law; with proper safeguards preventing too lenient punishment of crime, I recom mend that In every town, city and township there be appointed or elected one or more persons as recorders or trial justtces, who shall have juris diction to tiy and punish all misde meanors. This system has worked well in many of our cities and greatly relieved the superior courts from the tr'al of criminal cases. It has been repeatedly suggested that the state be divided Into two ludictal circuits, ha'f of the judicial districts being in one circuit and the other half In the other, the Judges of a dstrlct rotating in the ircuit. as they now do In the state,;" is aosoiuieiy necessary 101 moic This would save an Immense amount of expense and time to our judges, who are now paid little enough, and cer tainly could do no harm, for the gov ernor, as now, could have the power to allow judges to exchange courts from one circuit to the other, if any good reason was assigned, and could also order a judge , In one circuit to hold a special court In the other circuit, when there was no judge avail able In the first circuit. In all crimin al cases the challenges allowed the state and defendant should be the same, for, by reason of tne present challenges, especially In capital cases, a defendant can virtually pick a Jury to his liking, and thus justice often miscarries. This practice grew out of the fact that formerly a defendant could not testify In his own behalf, and It was felt that he should have some advantage In selecting a Jury. Now, however, he can, and no good reason exists for giving a defendant so much advantage. All Executions In state Prison.

State Institutions. It is not my purpose in tills message to take up separately institutions established for the education of our youth or for the amelioration of pain : and -suffering; for this I did fully in I ISO", and now refer you to that paper, U wl" sy. however, this much as ap- Pl'cable to all: I do not believe any other state, according to its wealth J .and population, has tried to do more '. for Its youths' education or in 'caring for Its unfortunate than North Caro- j Una. The University of the State, the: j Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges for both white and colored, the State Normal and Industr'al College and the training and normal schools for both races have all been conducted on , a high plane, without any scandal or troubles, and have equipped many good men and women, who, going out into the state to engage in various occupa tions, have added greatly to our ex traordinary growth and development, and, In my judgment, the good ac- I Deaf and Dumh and Blind senool at .I.I.L 1 .1.-. r..a T-.... aiei?n auu uie uiu oujuvi at Morganton, and to this, much more can be added.

These are the conditions. Now, what is the remedy? I will not urge the enlargement of the capltol, for, while I believe this Is best, It would bo so bitterly opposed that the measure would fall, and we need relief now. So I content myself by urging a suffi cient appropriation, which, taken with the amount the agricultural depart, ment is ready to give, will build an administration, building upon the lot now occupied by jhe supreme court and the agricultural building One amply sufficient for all present -needs.
