( Special. ) The morning session of the sennto uns mainly consumed In preliminary work and In reading the governor' message. An Inauguration committee was appointed , consisting of Chc- slro , Rowen , Watt'rman , Hurst and Kills. A dcbato over the question whether the Indi vidual tenntors or the stale should furnish the stationery resulted In the adoption of a resolution that all necessary supplies bo fur- n IE hod by the secretary of plate. A reso lution by Senator Ellis , providing for the ap pointment of a spclal committee to divide up the code revision report among the various standing committees , vas debated at length. Senator Ellis cald that ho hopc.1 that the new cede should contain all the laws enticteJ by this general assembly , and ba complete In every respect. In the house a largo number of resolutions relative to the preliminary work of the legis lature were adopted. On motion of Funk of Hardln the ofllco of "paper folder" was abolished. A now committee on building nnd loan associations was created. A com mittee , consisting of ReeJ , Evans , Dowell , Porter nnd Jnckcon , to arrange for the In auguration of Governor Drake , was ap pointed. * Uotli houses met In joint convention and canvassed the vote cast at the last election for governor and 1'eutcnant governor.

The joint republican caucus committee has called n caucus for tomorrow to nominate a United Stoles senator , a state printer anil binder and wardens of penltent'arics. Governor Jackson's message was read at length In both houses. It was an exhaustive revelw of the affairs of the state , but maybe bo fairly synopslzed as follows : GOVERNOR JACKSON'S MESSAGE. To the Senate nnil House of llepi-esentn- tlvt-s at the Twenty-sixth General Assembly of Iowa : In pursuance of 1-iw I herewith present for your consideration such KUK- GCftldns nnd recommendations as I billevc to be for the best Interest of the stale , together \vllh the special reports of the ninny und varied departments of olllclul actlvltyln our system of atata government. These leports contain the record of duties faithfully , performed nnd exhibit n con dition of affairs highly creditable to the state , nnd one which should bo satisfactory to Its people. The total population or lown , aa given by tli2 cenfeu * of 1S33 , Is 2.05S.1SD. This Includes n school population of G0"i-0j ! ; chil dren less than 5 years old , 2.75,189 ; Insane , 1b02 ; blind. .799 ; deat nr.d dumb , . ! , 121 ; feeble minded ( estimated ) , 2Stt ) . making a popu lation -of SC8,200 , which In its very nature Is more or less ot n dependent character ; thus lenvinu a EClf-sustnlnlnK adult popu lation of 1,169SCO , with which icHts the responsibility of society and the proper maintenance nntl care of the dependent classes. To the. general assembly of Iowa this adult population hns delegated its powers to provide such laws as shall In the hlKhest degree benefit everVi member of society and .protect In the fullest ECIISC every Inhabitant of our state. In the fulfillment of this responsibility a free public school system has been es- : nlllshed nnd Is maintained nt nn nnnual expense of over $ S,000,000 , an institution which reflects the highest credit upon the state and is accomplishing a lasting benefit lo Its people. In the direction of the pro- TreS3 ana betterment of society sixteen HfCercnt Institutions have been created by he stnte. the benefits of which nre being ecelved by 8.C7S persons. The higher edu cational Institutions nre the Slate univer sity , Iowa Stale AKI ( cultural college and "arm , nnd the State Normal school , and invo a total attendance of 2.3D1 ; the fchools for the Wind , the deaf nnil the 'eeble minded have a total population of ,103 ; the thicc hospitals for the insane iavo a population of 2tOfi : the two penal nMKUitlons. 9S3 ; two reformatories. K9 : Soldiers' Orphans' Home , 452 ; Soldiers' ' lomo. C03 , and Home for the Industrial Blind , 4) ) . NO BOARD OF CONTROL. The stnte has a property Investment in hesj Institutions of over $10.000.000 nnd Is expending annually nearly Jl.MO.OOO In their nanagoment. It has. been my duty as well as pleasure to visit all of these institutions. and most of them I have visited several I ID c-s , nnd I take pleasure In attesting to he honesty nnd economy of their man agement. There Is nothing that reflects moro credit upon the intelligence of our state , nothing of which the iieopl * of Iowa can bo more proud , than the magnificent results which they have accomplished. Jovcrned as they nre by non-partisan joanls , the members of which nre selected jy the general assembly , the freedom from scandal over a long1 period of years , ao veil as the high standing which they have attained , demonstrate the wisdom ot Iowa's early Inw makers who llrst established this > rlnclnle for thq government of state In stitutions. It has been proposed to change this pres ent form of government for that of n single loaril of control. I believe the proposition o be against the best interests of these in stitutions. The people of Iowa nre most happily Ituated In being free from the demoralisi ng and embarrassing Influences resulting lorn a great metropolitan city. With in- elllKeneo such as we possess , with pros- > erlty such as we have , ( hero are no good easons .why this great family of people hould be content to do even comparatively veil. We should fully meet the Increns- ng responsibilities which our Intelligence , our wealth and our progre slvenesa natur ally bring , to us. Our Institutions of learn- ng are unable to. meet the demand. Our lohpltals for the Insane nre crowded , nnd n large number of Inmates nro Bleeping ; on empornry. cots , while many canes that give hopeful evidence- final reiitorntlon o reason under the proper medical treat ment of .a Htnto Institution tire sent back o the county poor houses , where , wlth- ut such medical attendance , they are con- igned to a hopeless existence. The Instit ution for Feeble Minded Is doing Its great vork under unfavorable circumstances wing to Its very crowded condition. The ioldlcrs' Homo lmn been' obliged to close ts doors to over 300 needy nnd worthy ap plicants during the last four months. In Hliort , not ono of our great Institutions Is able , to meat Its Immediate and growing 4emandP. Bhall the state of Iowa face ihlH situation and with eurncstness and ability meet this responsibility ? In my judgment this responsibility can bn met only by a broader , moro liberal nnd moro just policy on behalf of the state. IU3VUNUB AND TAXATION. The per capita expense of several state governments , Including the support of state institutions , la shown in the following table : New York . , . $2.00 Pennsylvania t . . . l.oo Ohio . . . 1.01 Michigan . 1.03 Minnesota . . . . . 1.X7 Iowa. . , . . . , . . . . . . . fc9 The state of Iowa Is paying a per capita expense of fc cents for the support of tjie state government and state institutions , nnd yet this is greater than the average per capita expcnsu of our state during the last ten years. It h ) not ren&onablo to ex pect that Iowa can contlnuo long to keep pace with her slater utates on this showing made. Wo must either fall behind or broaden our highway , Increase our ex penditures ana kuei > up. I believe that the sentiment of the people of our elate is overwhelmingly In favor of keeping up , I am not In favor of raising the Increased revenue which the requirement * * of the Btato demand by Increasing the burden of taxation on any property that Is now payIng - Ing ltn duo proportion of public expense. but I am In favor of a law that will put upon the assessment rolls hundreds of millions of property that In the past has escaped paying Its just share of taxation. For yenrs the assessed valuation of taxable property of the state of Iowa has practically remained the some , notwithstanding the state's mighty Increase In wealth. For yearn the state levy haa remained practically the same , notwith standing that during tlila time our popu lation has been enlarging and the demands upon our Btato have been constantly In creasing. It is a notorious fact that for all these years under our peculiar law mllllonu of dollars of personal and other property hat evaded the uuwsaor , thereby depriv ing the state of n rightful revenue nnd un justly distributing thf bunion of taxation. In this direction I desire to call your nt * tentlon to the report of the revenue com mission authorized by the nets of the Twcnty-fourth general assembly. There nre no good reasons why the stnte of lown should not Incrfnsp Its revenue , as several of our flster states have done , by taxing franchises , writs nnd express com panies , nnd by levying upon collateral In heritance. There will bo many questions of crave Imitortance for the consideration or the Twenty-sixth general assembly , but let mo emphasize- the fact that In my judgment no other Irene Is of such vital Importance to the progress and welfare of lown n that of raising the necessary revenue- for the proper mnlntcrnnco of our stnto by a fair nnd equitable system of luxation. EDUCATIONAL. INSTITUTIONS. The capstone of our mnrrnincent system of free edurntlon Is the State university. Over $ SOOJ , W Is the sum which the stnte expends annually to maintain Its cilucn- tlcnnl sys'cm , but of thlf vast amount the State university , the chief nmoim all cur educational Instltutlors , receives but $120- 000. The frllowliiR table , showing the en dowment fund and Hie annual Income of various state universities , well Illustrates the situation : TJndow- Annual ment. Ineome. Unlvcrrlty of Ml.chltran . . . $ JilT.SlT $320.000 University of Illinois . . . . 4IS,000 422.23S University cf California 4r l,000 2.V,0 ) < X1 University of Wisconsin . .

GoNcrncr Jackson follows this allowing with an elaborate argument for the moro liberal tmpport of the Slate university , for the Stale ARrlcullural college and the State Normal scluol. Ho also makes sonic- general sug gestions fcr legislation affecting the public schools ot the state , especially for moro uni form requirement ! ' , and says : . The subject of furnishing free text books for the use of pupils In the public schools la also one of great Importance. I would icp niineml legislation along the lines suc- Bts.led by Iho slate superintendent. CAKE OF Till ) 1NSANB. The total Insane jiciAilatloii of the stnte now cared for nt public expense Is 3M > . Of this number 2,401 nro Inmates of the ttreo stnto hospitals. Of the 8ti2 provided for outsldo of state hospital * . G7s are In county poor houst-s nnd county Insnny ntylums , and 1SI are kept In private has- pltnls. it Is the most reasonable to belltve that the sixty-three counties of Iowa , which , nro now keeping 802 Inrnnc people In county poor house ? , and county nnd private asylums , could keep them In one Instllu- mm , ifivinR uicm nuvrtiiiages. lor uui nui greater expense than Is now In many case being1 paid for securing the mere exlstenc of these unforltinnles. The state Iowa I most thoroughly committed to the stnti hospital method , and the Twenty-sixth geu oral assembly should provide for the ul tlmato nnd complete icallzatton of thi policy. The delay on the part of the state li piovldc state hospitals has already resultd in the erection of several expensive count ; asylums , while other counties nro bclni driven to the consideration of the sanv question. The best time to consummate the pollej of the..state on this Important question 1 : now and with this general assembly. I , therefore , recommend that an appro priation be made , Milllclcnt to complete. Ihi north wing of the Clarlndn hospital , nut that the appropriation for the proposec hospital nt Cherokee bo Increased as recom mended by the commissioner ! ! to $100,0ffl r > cr annum for the years of ISSfi and 1S97 The fitntc of Iowa Is burdened with nn ex pense of over $15.000 n. year In maintaining eighty-five Insanepccp'.c , whose legal res idence Is In the state of Illinois , Nebraska or other borderingslates. . It would seerr that the laws of Iowa provide amply foi the payment of the expenses of Insane commissioners nnd police olllccrs In com mitting nn Illinois or Missouri Insane patient to nn Iowa hospital , but they fall utterly lo provide for expenses In returulns such patient lo their IOCT ! residence. The aw governing this subject should be changed at once. The law governing the Institution for feeble minded , as It now stands , provides only for the admission' of thcgo between the ages of 0 and IS. 1 recommend that this law be chaniicd so as to admit to this In stitution feeble-minded persons of all ages. Of Ihe 571 inmales of Ihe Institution for feeble-minded , about 110 , or 25 per cent of the entire number , are epileptics , and nearly 2M more of this class are found In the wards of our , state Insane hospitals. Scien tific authorities all"apree that moro than 50 per cent of the muddy stream , which Is swelling the population of our stale Insti tutions .with the. epileptic and feeble minded , comes from heredity. Ilotn economy and humanity demand that these two classes of population should bo cared for nnd protected by colonization. The suggestion has already been made that In the near future the ep'leptlc classes should bo colonized , as far as practicable. Hut for the present the scope of the magnificent Institution nt Glcnwood should bo extendel by the opening of its doors to those of all IIKCS , by the purchasing of ad ditional land. If necessary , by the bulldlntr of additional cottages as required , and by colonizing as rapidly as possible these classes of unfortunalcs. I believe It would be economy to the state and humanity to these people to make an Intelligent and earnest effort to elear the fountain pool of the polluted stream rather than to let It flow on unmolested In all Its Impurity , car rying with It the bmdens of expense to the state and of crime and misery to the af flicted. flicted.STATE VISITING COMMITTED. I cannot recommend too hlghy the Im portance of the principle applied In the management of our hospitals for the Insane by the law creating1 the visiting committee. The very excellent report of this commit tee for the last biennial period , convoys a most thorough understanding of Its Im portance. Its field of usefulness should be materially enlarged and extended , and Us powers In some tespects strengthened. I recommend that the School for Feeble Minded be included In the list of Institu tions lo bo visited by th's ' committee. I further suggest and recommend that this law be so amended ns to require Ihe com- mltteo to visit all private hospitals for the Insane , in which patlenls are now kept nt public expense , anil that a most careful In quiry bo .made ns to the condition and management of the s.ime. All poor houses and county asylums where Insane patients uro kept should also be thoroughly In vestigated , nnd the same Ehould be made a pnrt of the duties of this committee. T leoommond that Ihe law be to changed that this vlsfltlnp : committee , or some similar committee , shall bo required to Inspect the county and city Jails of the state at least once during each biennial period , and that they shall have full authority condemn Jails , lockups and all other places where human beings are kept , Hint In tholr judg ment nre unfit for occupancy. The san itary condition should be ascertained , an well ns the arrangements for the separa tion of the coxes , and the separation of hardened criminals from youthful offend ers. ers.Tho governor devoted considerable space to the condition of the penal Institutions nf the state. Concerning the Soldlers'2 homo , ho commended Its management , but stated the demands upon It wore In excess of the ca pacity. The report of the state treasurer bhows re ceipts of $3,937,232.30 , Including $412,981.45 on hand at the last report , The expenditures liavc been $3,021,378.39 , and the cash on hand Is $312,854.41. The report of the adjutant general shows the mllltla to bo In nn cni- clcnt condition. It ts recommended that the scope of the dairy commission's power be enlarged by legislation. WOIIKINGS OF TUB MULCT , Concerning the liquor question , the gov ernor gives considerable attention to the operations ot the mulct law , .Statistics ! show the number of government licenses loaned from July 1 , 1893 , to July 1 , 1891 , during etate-wldo prohibition , to be 6,032. The total number during the succeeding year uuder the mulct law Is given as 4,201. July 1 , 1895 , there were IKty-ono counties having a population of 387,809 which had not adopted the mulct law , The number of gov ernment licenses Issued In those counties during the last year under prohibition was 1,078 , Number of licenses Issued during the Drat year under the mulct law 90 , Net loss 188 , or IT/i per cent. On thlu fame date , July 1 , 1895 , there were forty-eight counties having a population of 1,220,200 , which had adopted the mulct law. During the last year under prohibition the number of government licenses Issued In these counties was 4,954 , The first year under the mulct law the number was 3,374. Net loss 1,080 , or 32 per cent. The number of saloons agalnit which the mulct tax wag aisessed during the first year of the operation of that law was 1,020 and the total revenue derived therefrom at } COO per annum was $972,000 , This , together with the added ponaltlen assessed by cities , made a total ot $1,150,317. The governor calle attention to the large annual lei to the state through the absence of public warehouses. Ho also recites the work done by the state In the national military park * toward mark ing the pOJltlOBB of Ipwa troops in the en gagements , Ho recommends that the legislature take action toward the appropriate observance of the half centennial ot Iowa statehood , which occurs In 1898- ( - * SLEEP mm.
