THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE North Carolina's Executive Makes Suggestions r , To The Legislature . WOE STATE IS , NOW PROSPEIING .The Governor 8peaka of the 8Ute'a Resources and Recommends Such 7 Legislation aa Will' Bring Highest , Development.-! ' The Biennial message of the Govern or was read in both houses of the State Legislature on Thursday. The sub-! aUnce of the message and all the most important sections are given below:' INTRODUCTION. The Honorable, the General Assembly I congratulate you as you enter upon the discharge of your duties that you find in the State an excellent condi tion. Her citizens of all callings are prosperous and the revenues of ' the State are adequate for all - the needs that you will be called upon to supply. .At the close of the last fiscal year on the 80th of November there was in the State Treasury for general purposes the sum of $333,683.30. The revnue and - machinery acts passed' by the last Gen eral Assombly have worked admirably and have brought into the State Treas ury sufficient sums for all purposes of government economically administer ed. You will therefore enter -upon the discharge of your duties unhampered by a deficit and untempted by any large surplus to make extravagant appropri ations.' . . Certain taxes levied by the last Gen eral Assembly have been declared by the courts unconstitutional.' . Thew taxes are adverted to in the report of the State Treasurer and I concur in his recommendations concerning them. Such changes ought to be made In law Sis will' enable the collection of these taxes for the future' and likewise for the past two years. The taxes so levied .were proper, but of course they must be levied in a constitutional manner; With the few. changes suggested, tho machinery and revenue acta are per liaps as jgood aa we cab) make them un der our constitution, v ":", " The whole subject of taxation la one 'ell worthy your profuonndeat consld Watlon. The burden of "government, always onerous are made .more so by a wrong distribution of them. The tax ation In many of our towns and cities when combined with the State, county and special taxes, is found to be very burdensome and results in great lose -of revenue by reason of the refusal of the taxpayer to fully list bis property -when the tax rate la so high aa to amount to something like confiscation. 1 commend to your most careful con sideration the able discussion of-this matter by the' SUte Tax Commission. SThls commission has given much and profound study to the Question of tax ation and its-opinion Is worthy of the i moat serious consideration. . The aaseasment of railroad property for taxation In 1898 waa f 33,619.860; in lwa LUIS HSWUVUl waa uicmw . 28.52J, thus more than doubling the assessment In a period of live years. This Increased assessment of railroad property at first glance might appear to be unjust, but when It is considered that within the time namod the gross arninga of the railroads of this SUte have increased from $U.643,56 to $18. 10.815. the appearance of injustice passes away and leave one In doubt whether the railroads are even now as sessed at anything like their true value. The Corporation Commission has man- aged the assessment oi.rauniau tt- erty and the collection of taxes out of the railroads with great wisdom and -without creating any serious friction -between these great corporations and the SUte. - . . . EDUCATION. - ' I commend to the earnest considera tion of your honorable body the re- H OiinAiHntendent of Public Instruction and recommend the adop- iinr, nf tha aura-nation contained theru- hvh ... eo . In. This SUte is extremely fortubate in having aa Bupennienaen: ci mous Instruction a broad-minded, cultured .Kia man whn fle nurtilnr her edu cational interests forward at a pace which commanas me . lominuuu ui our sister SUte. He has given much . m..A- tn tin siiMm unon which his report is based and I cannot do better than to declare mat concur u mrtA Ma Annclualons. I great ly deprecaU any attempt to raise the rsce issue on tne queniuu vi ' tlon. There is absolutely no Justifica tion for stirring up our people on this 'ihw Tha small sum which the white people are coniriuuu.i support of the negro schools cannot for one moment jusuiy tne wnunuw .-I. rJ tha nnaatlon Of dividing , (iWUWH V the school fund according to the sum said by each race, jiavius "" the negro of power it U manifestly our .I.... . .k. nf him the best rltisen of wbichhe is capable and thla we can certainly never ao oy kk his own devices, nor by withdrawing s VI lk amall amount Of tSIM . which we . devote to his education. There are three courses open with re ference to the negro. The first Is to let him go without any training and Inev itably drop back into eavagccy. When we make up our mlnda to do thla the eecond plan will at once be put Into hf ( rnr nhilanthroDlc peo- Die throughout the world to Use charge of his education ana train mm . . k-.Mnnw nl In anmifv tO BP VUI u. " ' . .J- -i- whom be Uvea. The third plan is lor ua to train him our selvesmaking htm more capable, more efficient, more rename- ana wuu deeper affection for us. The last plan it seems to me commends Itself, both to our selfishness and onr generosity. fl,.t anaw tmm nit aanaa nf nhliaration UUV BNUk avaae w -y - to this weaker race, J am . impressed with the necessity or causing an Bas tion which leada to the embitterment n MfimmiAiif nf tha nearo. for the reason that as this estrangement and this emDilterment increase mrso bers of them will go out irom uwn no Tho DTatB need of North Caro lina today is more labor. It seems to me the hight ot roily to continue w k,i .hnni nnlltlona which lessen the ... taw., in thA mate. On the aiUVUUt Wi inuva ,u - contrary every encouragement should be given by -fair treatment even by generous consideration, to stop the emi gration of this important pan m wur labor. It is useless for us to pasa law Uxing emigrant agents, we uouy w the negro the privilege of giving to his child a decent public school educa tion. ' Provision ought to he made for the payment of the expenses of the Su perintendent of Public Instruction. It is absolutely necessary in the perform ance of his duties for him . to travel throughout the 8tate; Indeed he ought to visit other SUtes of the Union to learn their methods, views and plans. To do so will necessitate the expedi- ture of from $500 to iidu in tne n .siii-nait fare. Heretofore the UlV.ut , railroads of this State, under a statute permitting It. have been granting to tue Superintendent of Public Instruction hsii- ttnno tbut for the past year or so they have refused to do tulS. unless tno uc5iow" going to require them to furnish th passes, provision certainly ought to be made to defray these absolutely neces sary expenses of the Superintendent.
