GOVERNOR'S
HIS SECOND ADDRESS
Approves of Revenue Law
Passed by the Last
Legislature
SAFEGUARD TO PROGRESS
Urges Members te b Cautleus
Opportunity t Make Geeti
Rcearii In Their Hand.
To the Members of tho Twenty-ninth
Session ot the Legislature of Ne
braska: Gentlemen It Is a constitutional re
quirement that at the beginning of
your deliberations tho chief executive
shall convey to you "Information by
massage of tho condition of tho state,
and shall recommend such measures
as ho shall deem expedient."
I have but few recommendations to
make. In general, I may say that the
Elate was never more prosperous than
it is today, the sevcrnl oxocutlvo de
partments -wore, never in bettor work
ing condition and tho institutions are
at the zenith of careful and economical
management Owing to tho chance of
politics, your membership is chosen al
most entirely from ona great party.
With this unprecedented majority
comes a corresponding responsibility.
Tho dominant party cannot escape the
burdon thus laid upon it and it should
be sobered by the thought It is a
tlmo for earnest, zealous work; it Is
a time when state patriotism Bhould
rise superior to personal prejudlco and
potty whims; it is a time when tho
privileges of the few Bhould not bo
allowed to tako precedence over the
welfare of the many; It Is a time for
laying broader and making more secure
the equitable foundations upon which
tho state shall conttnuo to rlao toward
a condition of futuro greatness which
wo now but faintly appreciate. If you
would merit the highest encomium of
praise lot your deliberations bo ols
tlngulshed by honesty of purpose,
careful research and strict economy.
Thus will you protect the public treas
ury and guard against hasty and im
perfect enactments. Your motto
should be, not how much legislation,
but how good.
THE REVENUE LAW.
The revenue law "passed by tho pre
ceding legislature has met tho expecta
tions of Its friends and has been re
ceived with popular favor. This lnfer
onco is fully warranted by tho results
ot tho recent campaign. Tho law be
ing an innovation in some of its fea
tures and having a direct bearing on
the Interests of ovory citizen was nat
urally brought under the searchlight
of public oplnton and was mndo tho
target of extreme criticism. Tho agi
tation was helpful in that it gave tho
people generally a better understand
ing of revenue probloms than they hod
previously enjoyed and enabled a more
lntollgont vqto upon the Issues In
volve. Tho result was such an en
dorsement of tho work of tho legisla
ture which framed' and passed tho bill
as has seldom, boon recorded in the
history of Nebraska. Not a single
member who voted for the bill and
who stood for re-election this year was
defeated. The conclusion Is that tho
time was ripe for rovenue revision.
Tho people understood the inequitablo
provisions of tho old system under
which the growing state could not
adapt Its revenues to Its Increasing
obligations; they appreciated tho logic
employed by former oxocutlvo officers
in challenging public attention, by
inersago and biennial report, to the
urgent need of revision; thoy wore
cognizant of tho non-partisan spirit
which entered into tho framing ot tho
new law and realized that tho measuro
was the product ot the best tliought,
regardless of party, which the legisla
ture could command, supplemented by
tho valuable experience ot older states
along similar lines. They knew, too,
that tho two foundation principles
were tho essence of justice, namely,
the listing of all property for assess
ment purposes at Its fair cash value,
and the levying ot an equitable and
uniform tax upon all property so list
ed, without bias or favor.
Qne .assessment and one set of levies
have been mndo under the new law and
we are now In a position to judge of
results. It is apparent that a largo
amount of prooorty which hitherto has
boon covered and has escaped taxation
entirely has been placed upon the as
sessment rolls and Is made to stand
its Just eharo ot tho expense of gov
ernment Other property which In tho
past has been valued at ridiculously
low figures has been listed at approxi
mately Its true worth. Tax shirkers
have been brought to time, both pri
vate an corporation property havo
received their Just deserts, the grand
assessment roll has been Increased to
a reasonable sum, tho state has been
enabled to raise sufficient revenue to
meet the expenses of government eco
nomically administered, and In the
transition from the old to tho new no
lntorcst has been injured beyond the
fow isolated case3 which have been tho
victims of mistakes, or concerning
which the judgment of tho assessor or
of the levying body may have been
faulty.
In Bome communities tho taxes for
this year aro considerably increased
over tho taxes of last year, but an in
Decided to Hold Their Money
The directors of tho Wabash Railroad
company at a meeting in New York
decided not to mako any distribution
on the debenture "A" lcds. In June
it was decided that the met oy which
might be used to pay interest on the
"A" bonds was needed for improve
ments to the property.
Nothing will please tho small boy
more than the privilege of assuming
mo rota 01 lamer to the man occas
ionally. I It's a long love that his no cooling.
MESSAGE
vestigation of the facts discloses that
tho fault Is not with the law, but rather
with tho local levying bodies which,
in making their levies, did not take
into proper consideration the Increased
valuation upon which they were act
ing. While the essential principles of the
law are, in my judgsient, eminently
Just and correct, thero are some mat
ters of detail which might bo Improved
und to these I invito your attention.
Under the interpretation placed up
on the law by tho stato board of equali
zation and assessment It has no power
to differentiate between classes of
property in equalizing county assess
ments. It can raise or lower the en
tire assessment roll of the county, but
cannot raise or lower one class of
property without reference to the other
classes. For this reason it is impos
sible to secure a just equalization, for
in raising or lowering one deficient
class to the proper standard other
classes with which thoro Is no fault
are, by tho unit ByBtcm, raised or low
ered in unison and, hence, while jus
tice may bo secured in the one, instance
it is violated In the other. I therefore
recommond that Section 130, Article 1,
Chaptor 77 of tho Compiled Statutes
of 1003 bo amended so as to permit tho
auto board of equalization to differ
entiate between classes of property In
equalizing county assessments.
Another inberont weakness in tho
present law Is the fact that county
boards of equalization aro compelled
to make their levies In advance of tho
equalization of tho county assessments
by the stato board. I recommend that
Section 136, Article 1, Chapter 77,
Compiled Statutes ot 1903, bo amonded
so that county boards shall make their
levies after tho ccrtlflcato of county
equalization shall havo been received
from tho state board. Also, that Sec
tion 130 of tho samo articlo and chap
tor bo amended bo as to provide for
tho transmission, by tho Btato board,
of tho certificate of county equaliza
tion to tho county clerk at tho earliest
dato consistent with tho general tenor
of the section, and that tho said county
clork bo instructed to call tho county
board together within seven days after
the receipt ot Bald certificate for the
purpose of making tho necessary lovies
for the ensuing year. For tho same
reasons tho law fixing the time for
making school district and municipal
lovies-should be amended in harmony
with tho above suggestion.
STATE BOUNDARY COMMISSION.
By act of tho last legislature tho
chief executive of tils state was au
thorized to appoint a commission ot
three mombers to act with a llko com
mission annolnted by tho uovomor of
South Dakota in tho matter of agree
ing upon a boundary line between the
two states. This commission met with
tho representatives of South Dakota
in duo time and after repeated con
ferences and personal inspection, an
agreement of tho Joint commission was
filed with me, March 4, 1904, which I
now transmit to you for approval or
rejection.
Tho preceding legislature also mado
provision for a similar commission
to act in conjunction with a commis
sion representing the stato of Iowa.
However, as our enactment was con
tingent upon the action ot tho Iowa
legislature In providing for a boundary
commission, and as the Iowa legisla
ture neglected to tako such action,
nothing has been done. Owing to the
technicalities involved, lawlessness
and crime have been fostered in the
disputed territory and the rights of
property owners have teen subject to
much annoyance. This state of affairs
Will continue until relief has been af
forded by tho Bcttlement of tho bound
ary dispute I recommend, therefore,
that your honorable body mako provi
sion for another boundary commission,
the statute of limitation having run
against the old act, to co-operato wlth
a like commission from the state of
Iowa in agreeing upon a boundary line.
The litigation regarding the bound
ary lino between Nebraska and Mis
souri, which had been pending in tho
supreme court of the United States for
some time, was permanently Bottled
recently by a decision of the court
fully sustaining the contention of
Nebraska. Tho court fixes tho bound
ary lino in tho center of tho old chan
nel of the Missouri river, confirming
t j Nebraska what Is known as "Island
Precinct," Nemaha county. I recom
mend that an appropriation of $1,000,
or as much thereof as may bo needed,
be mado for tho surveying or the line
and tho erection of permanent monu
ments, tho stato of Missouri to meet
Its equal share of said expense.
THE BATTLESHIP "NEBRASKA."
On October 7, 1904, tho battleship
"Nebraska" was successfully launched
at the yards of tho builders In Seattle,
Washington. The Impressive cere
monial was participated in by a num
ber of tho executive officers of this
state. The "Nebraska" is one of the
latest and1 most efficient types of bat
tleships and our state is highly hon
ored by the national government in
being permitted to stand sponsor for
her. The remaining work of construc
tion and equipment will occupy about
ono year and she will thon bo ready for
commission. At that time It will be
highly proper for our stato, through Its
legislature or unofficially through its
citizens, to present to tho officers of
the "Nebraska," for the use of the ship,
some practical gift as a token ot our
California Tournament of Iloiei
Under the most auspicious weather
conditions imaginable and in the pres
ence of sixty thousand people, Pasa

indication that wo are not insensible

ferred upon us by tho general govern
ment. SUPREME COURT COMMISSION.
Tho legislature of 1903 made pro
vision for the temporary continuance
of the supreme court commission, six
commissioners to bo appointed for the
period of one year and threo commis
sioners to be appointed for the period
of two years from April 10, 1903. Tho
court is unable to keep up with the
work which comes beforo It, the nura
bor of cases filed each month being
In excess of tho number disposed of.
It seems Imperative that a commission
of at least threo members should be
provided for tho coming biennium, to
the end that tho rights of litigants
who are seeking relief may be con
served without unreasonable delay.
THE STATE'S FINANCES.
On November 30, 1904, tho floating
intorest bearing indebtedness ot the
state, as represented by outstanding
general fund warrants, amounted to
$2,253,386.40, an increase during the
biennium: of $264,037.77. This condi
tion was made possible and practically
unavoidable by the operation of tho
old revenue law.
While tho now law was passed in
1003, it did not become operatlvo until
1901, and it has had no appreciable ef
fect upon the stale's financial condi
tion. With reference to the sufficiency
of the state's Income during tho com
ing biennium, I quote from the current
biennial report of Stato Auditor Wes
ton: "To tho estimated Income from the
levies ot 1005-6 havo been added a con
servative estimate of income from back
taxes and a very considerable amount
derived from miscellaneous sources,
making tho total estlmato of Income
for the general fund $2,819,244.71. As
against this estimated' general fund in
come, the estimated requirements for
tho biennial period commencing April
1, 1905, and chargeable to tho general
fund, amount to $2,540,316."
From the above It is apparent that
if the present legislature holds its ap
propriations within reasonable bounds
tho receipts of tho coming bionnium
will exceed the expenditures by $278,
928, a condition which has not existed
In Nobraska for many years.
With such a stato debt as now con
fronts us it requires no argument to
mako clear that tho strictest economy
consistent with the public weal should
distinguish nil your relations with the
public treasury. Tho opportunity is
most auspicious. Tho stato institu
tions were novor in better condition.
Tho two precodlng legislatures mado
appropriations for permanent improve
ments amounting to a little more than
$600,000. The rosult is that needed
buildings and equipments have been
generously provided and the present
legislative body will bo expected to do
but little in the way of expenditures.
THE LOBBY.
The bane of overy legislative body
is tho subsidized lobby. Vicious legis
lation is not tho result of Ignorance,
but is rather tho rosult of prejudicial
Influences which ought not to exist
and which certainly ought not to be
tolerated within the halls, cloak rooms
or offices of any deliberative body
which has. power over tho destinies of
a people. I recommend that such ac
tion be taken as will protect your
membership from the onslaught of
private and corporation lobbyists nvho
seek, to accomplish pernicious ends by
tho exorcise of unduo influence.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSI
TION. The legislature of two years ago ap
propriated $35,000 for a Nebraska ex
hibit at St Louis and laid upon the
chief executive tho duty of appointing
a non-partisan comndsslon of three
members upon which should devolve
all responsibility pertaining thereto. I
am Informed that, after paying all ob
ligations, there will remain unexpend
ed about $16,000 of the original appro
priation. This Is certainly a most
gratifying condition, one which speaks
eloquently of the wisdom and discre
tion which tho commission exorcised
in the discharge of its duties.
LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION.
The people of tho Pacific coast in
particular are now preparing for the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposi
tion, an event which will commemor
ate tho trials and triumphs of the ex
ploring expedition Bent out by Presi
dent Jefferson during the year follow
ing tho purchase of Louisiana and
which, succeeded in penetrating to the
mouth of the Columbia rlvor in 1805.
FOOD COMMISSION.
Tho work of tho food commission is
necessarily curtailed by reason of the
fact that tho law restricts inspection
to dairy products, cider and vinegar.
As a consequence the great mass of
food products containing Injurious
adulterants escape tho jurisdiction of
the commission and are amenable only
to the general statutes. The subject
is an important one. It seems desir
ablo that the present law be broadened
in its scope and made to include all
food products, and that- provision be
'made for such additional assistance as
the enlarged duties may make neces
sary. OIL INSPECT'ON.
The preceding legislature raised the
inflammability test of illuminating oils
from 100 degrees to 112 degrees, Fahr
enheit, thus affording additional se
en rity to life and property. Since the
law was made operative it has been
rigidly enforced, not a single case hav

IRRIGATION.
The report of the (secretary of the
state board of irrigation shows that
considerable progress has been mad
in irrigation matters during tho last
two years. Whllo tho number of new
projects has not been great, much has
been accomplished in tho way of im
provement of existing canals and ad
ditional area has been brought under
cultivation. The United States recla
mation service has undertaken a large
project which has for its object tho
storage of all tho flood waters of the
North Platte river and the reclamation
of thousands of acres of land in Ne
braska and Wyoming. It is. hoped this
plan will work to a successful conclu
sion, thereby adding a large productive
area to our domain.
THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT.
The military department has as
sumed a position of much greater im
portance since the enactment of the
present militia law by congress, approved-
January 21, 1903. The ptirpose
of the law) is to recognlzo and make ef
fective the volunteer force organized
under the title of the national guard
as tie reserve army of tho nation.
In order that the state may receive
its full quota of assistance and that
Its privileges under the federal law
may materialize, a sufficient appropria
tion should bo mado to carry Into ef
fect the designs of tho enactmont, In
sure safety of public stores, provide
suitable quarters for company organi

BARTLEY BOND CASE.
Your attention is called to tho suit
of tho state against tho bondsmen of
former State Treasurer J. S. Bartley.
After more than seven years of litiga
tion the state Is without any Judgment
against tho bondsmen. I am Informed
that not a single bondsman has a dol
lar's worth of property in his own
namo ont of which the state could en
force a collection of any part of the
Judgment should one ever be rendered.
Some of thorn have already gone
through the bankruptcy court since the
suit was Instituted. I get this informa
tion from tho court records and from
tho last official report to me of Attor
ney General F. N. Prout, in which he
recommends the dismissal of this cose
on tno payment of the costs which
have been mado, by the bondsmen, and
on the best terms possible.

legalize the execution and approval of

STATE ACCOUNTANT.
The experience gained in the past
two years serves to confirm my Judg
ment as exnressed In my nrevjous In
augural address, recommending the
creation of tho position of state ac
countant It should b the duty of
mich officer to "scrutinize and verify
the accounts of the various state offi
cers and state institutions." I believe
that such an official would prove o!
great value to the state, and hence I
repeat the recommendation.
PURCHASING OF SUPPLIES.
I recommend that tho purchasing ot
nil simnlles for both the Institute for
the Blind and the Institute for the
Deaf and Dumb be placed In the hands
of the board of purchase and supplies,
this being the board which does tho
buying for all the othor institutions.
THE INSANE ASYLUM.
The Institute for the Feeble Minded
Is in a very crowded condition. About
thirty applications ar now on file
from those seeking admission, and
who are properly entitled to the care
of the state, but who are dented en
trance account of the lack of-room.
I recommend an appropriation of $20,
000 for tho purpose of erecting a cot
tage for girls, as an adjunct of this
Institution.
Tho Norfolk asylum, for the robulld
,n" of whjch nn nnnronrlatlon was
made by the last legislature, Is Hear
ing completion, but probably will not
be ready for the reception of Inmates
until about the first of May. When
tho last ledslatnro mado provision for
the rebuilding of the Norfolk asylum
It was believed that the institution
would be completed In at least ten
months of the present biennium. Ap
propriations amounting to $54,850
were accordingly made for officers'
nlarles, emplovees' wages and general
expense of maintenance. As the bulld
!ng has been delayed, no part of these
appropriations has been used. I rec
ommend that $18,000 of the mainten
ance fund appropriated for the Norfolk
iBylum be transferred to the account
of tho Nebraska HoaplUl'for the In
sane. Permit me to express the hope that
your dutlos will prove pleasant and
that tho result of your labor will pro
mote the welfare of our beloved state.
