Some of Its Most Importaat Parts As Pre sented To Legislature. Special to Journal. Raleigh, Jan. 8. The blennal net tagt of Got. Ayoock to the Legislature wat read today. It tays, the put year was one of great prosperity to North Carolina. And that the State has proba bly never enjoyed a period of more general prosperity but that the State government hat been embarrassed by lack of sufficient revenues to meet the appropriations made by the last legisla ture, and that one of the first duties of the legislature .will be to 'devise meant by whloh the State expenditures will come within the revenues. The Governor believes that tht present reve nue law, under the new assessments which will be made next June, will tup ply all the demands for current expen ses. The revenue Act, with a few modifica tions'-Is perhaps as good at can be made under our Constitution, There it com- plaint of Inequality of atsettmenMarmar and merchants complaining that corpor ations do not pay their proper part of the taxes, while tome corporations, In sist they are taxed in excess of taxes on other property. The present laws pro vide for equality of assessment, bat by this it is not understood that those who have secured franchises from the state and thereby enjoy special privileges, should be exempt from payment of taxes on the value of the franchises and privi- llget which they enjoy. The Governor recommends that the present Revenue Act and Machinery Act remain as they are with tome modi fications recommended by the Treasurer and Auditor. Much time is consumed by each legislature in passing a new Re venue and Machinery Act. Before the people become accustomed to the new law. another it enacted, creat Ing constant aneaslness, misapprehen sion and criticism. Officers and people alike begin now to dearly understand the present. It is economy of time to the legisla ture, and for the benefit of the taxpayers to make few changes of the present law. The Btate Commissioners report is worthy of serious study, some of Its re commendations being newiln N. C. and may not meet with ready acceptance. Much revenue Is lost to the state, coun ties and Ltowns by refusal to properly list personal property in those communl ties where the combined tax rate Is so high as to become a real burden If any plan can be devised by which this can be remedied and therby cause a full list ing of property at Its true value, a long step will be taken towards the adjust ment on an equitable basis of the bur dens of taxation. The recommendation of tht Tax Com mission that'sr state tax ahold be levied on distilleries rectifying establishments and saloons is well founded, The State has heretofore levied a tax on saloons for the use of the tohool fund only. An additional tax for Btate taxes teems proper and no reason it apparent why distilleries should nof also contribute to the support of the Btate Government. The Governor urges careful considera tion of the report of the state Superin tendent of Publlo Instruction and con curs ln the recommendations made. The Governor says "But for the fact that some members have come Instructed by conventions to secure tht adoption of a constitutional Amendment by which taxes paid by white shall go to the edueatlon of whit children, and taxes paldbylnegroes shall go to the educa tion of negro children, I should make no mention of any race tuettlon. , I had confidently hoped that this matter would not be before you. We have just eliminated by Constitu tional Amendment tht negro from any large participation In the gorvrasMnt of the Btate. In my tpeeeh of accept ance to tht convention which unani mously nominated me for Govennor, I said, If wa fall to administer tqtul and exact justice to tht negro whom we deprive of stfferagt, wt shall It tie fulness of tlmt lost power cartel ws for wt mutt know that tht God who It love trusts no people with authority td enable them to do Injustice to tht weak." , The strength of .ourpresent i Amend mtnt lies In tht fact that after i 1908, ft provides an educational qualification and tht courts will go far towards .attaining a provision of this aataro when the Bute it endeavoring to eduoate all her children, bat K it should bt ttada to ap pear to the . tonrt that In coanecitoa without disfranchisement of tht negro, we bad taken pala for providing to keep bit In Ignorance, then bt-th.Xnvd mentt would fall together. ; Tit awdtod mtnt proposed, It unjust, otiiB and onooaitUatlonet, would 'n tain rscef , would bring our Butt totfl tbw cotrlemnatlonof jutt; puoUo, opinion tlwwbort and : wotld mark Ail pt p t w)i. hart timed backwards, i VW. 8 at haneretofort enjoyed lh letlaoniou of feeing first l ete thing fwkleh liok too larger, jhbvrty. smd, totet,M i higher 'development of bi t pf'ple.

The Oxford Orphan Asylum Is maintaining Its reputation for excellent work, and the colored Or phanage shows Increasing usefulness. The Institutions for the white blind and negro deaf mutes tnd blind have done excellent work and the attendance has increased in two years from 268 to 881. The Deaf Mute school has done in the past two years the ibest work since Its organization, and there are 337 pupils. There are 450 white deaf mute children In the State. The insurance Department Is com mended. Valuable work has been done by the Commissioner In Investigating incendiary fires and having criminals prosecuted therefor. The Board of Ag riculture has extended the scope of its usefulness as tho State's need becomes manifest. The Corporation Commission Is doing work of far more value than Is generally understood. A feature of the message Is the por tion concerning child labor in factories. He says, "The time appears to be ripe In this State for some legislation In behalf of the children who are working In tex tile and furniture factories. Most States have long since passed laws prohibiting the working of children under certain ages in factories of this character. Here tofore it has been deemed Inadvisable to legislate upon this subject here, but the State owes a duty to her children, and the controversy, If there be any, between capital and labor has nothing to do wiih this question, for in a high sense the State Is a guardian to her children. This right of the State Is founded on Its duty to perpetuate Itself by the care of those who are hereafter to constitute Its citi zenship. This right being conceded, It becomes the duty of the State to protect small children against labor which tends to dwarf them, physically, mentally or morally. It cannot be denied that work in such factories by young children is, to say the least of It, dangerous to their health, and calculated to make of them weak men and women. I therefore, earnestly recommend the passage of a law, absolutely prohibiting the employ ment in such factories of any child un der the age of IS year.-". This lsw ought also to provide that no child under the age of 14 shall work In any such factory at night, and after 1005, no child who cannot read and write should be permitted to work In any such factory under the age of 14. I do not think any exception should be mads. No community should suffer any child un der 19 to be required to support its par ents. Careful consideration of the ojstor legislation is urged. Many law breakers have been arrested but all acquitted and It seems almost Impossible to secure con viction In this class of cases. The Atlantic tad North Carolina Rail way is now in excellent condition, the gain In earnings last year being $69,000 over the best previous year. The road owes 3ff,0O9 of borrowed money. The penitentiary is self sustaining and needs no appropriation. There is on hand $34,000 and surplus crops to be told amounting to $37,000. Separate provision ought to be made for the dan gerous insane now In the penitentiary. Tbey ought not to be kept there. During the past two years the Govern or pardoned 134 persons and commuted the sentence of 26. During the two years there were 13,O0J,in the Superior oerts At present the manufacture and sale of Honor cannot be carried on In half the counties, while over two thirds have re stricted the ssle to Incorporated townr The legislature should apply this restric tion to all counties, as in the country there Is no police supervision, and In many places tho lawlessness due to this business has drives good people, who preferred to lire on their farms Into the towns for tafetv. The manufacture of Honor, even in Incorporated towns, ahonld be sublect to the toiae restric tions which now apply to tht tale. St.lngent provisions should bt made to prevent the operation of Illicit distiller ies, and the Blatt should no longer as pend upon the Federal Government u suppress this evil business. Durlni Uti last two vears there have tieen tight lyncblogt, three for murder, one for attempting to poison, three ror rap tnd one tor assault with Intent to rape.

' It is regret able that this indebtedness should have come about, bnt tho Btate bat bad full value for it. The oouncll of Btate and snany wise men from different sections Considered tht tttuattoa early last year aad determined 'that we should borrow $900,000. It Is impossible to meet the floating debt lAAhft with curmnt ex- pfliip 1 en 4 C.e ' MuMf nc-f iuy per manent Improvementt out of our current revenues. It It therefore apparent to mt that It it necessary to Issue bonds With which to pay off the present tndebt edness and that authority be given to lttut non-taxable fifty year bonds, not to exceed $600,000 to be sold not less than par. Bo excellent Is the State' credit, that a 8 per cent bond can be sold at par. North Carolina's debt Is small and if the property now held as invest ment! were sold It would bring almost enough to pay the entire bonded debt. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS Bills Already Rushing- Through. Liquor Legislation Host Prominent. Special to Journal. Raliioh, Jan. 8.
