Mr. Nash moved to amend the
amendment by striking out eight nud
Inserting four days'.
Mr. Scott thought tlio present road
law unconstitutional because It Im-
poses taxation without representation
and taxation without property consid-
eration. Ho believed a repeal of tho
law would enlist the thanks of the
people all over tho state.
Mr. McKlnney argued In favor of his
amendment and said the poor pcoplo
freely discussed It. He did not oven
pay a poll-tax but all get tho bcnetUs
of governmcntBchools etc.
Mr. Patton opposed the bill In Us
present shapo because It don't give tho
"relief sought. It would leave tho peo-
ple In the black lands virtually with
out a road system. What his people
wanted Is not a modification or reduc-
tion but tho total repeal of tho law and
tho enactment of a 'aw equal upon
labor and property. He regarded tho
present law as legalizing personal
servitude and as sucli a relic of mili-
tary despotism. The people cry out
against the exaction of n high pro-
tective tariff law but how much
worse Is any tnrlll" law? The labor of
the poor Is for. tho benefit of tho rich.
Mr. lloblnson of Jack offered a sub-
stitute for the pending amendment
providing that no ouo save convicts bo
forced to work more than five days In
ono year and that youths or boys in
school bo exempted from the pro-
visions of the law. Mr. lloblnson
made a lino speech In advocacy of his
substitute in which he showed up tho
Injustice of the present system espe-
cially against young boys.
Mr. Cochran favored In a very
strong speech the substitute of Mr.

Mr. Rogers opposed tho substitute
nnd the bill. He said ho was in
favor of a constitutional amend
ment so as to enualizo tho
tax between labor and property but
was opposed to a reduction until such
change should be made.
Mr. Stout took nearly the same
ground as Mr. Rogers. What his
people wanted was good loads these
they could not have with a reduction
of tlio time required of persons to
work.
Mr. Davis of Lamar favored the
original bill of thu committee.
Mr. Moore of Eastland offered nu
amendment which was ruled out on a
point of order.
Mr. Jitheridgo opposed the substi-
tute of Mr. Robinson on the ground
that it was class legislation In favor
of coitain youths who were fortu-
nate enough to go to si'hool. He
opposed the whole road law but
upon the principle that a half loaf is
better than no bread he would vote
for the commissioners' bill.
Mr. Aimhtoadsald If the roads are
to bo worked It must no clone in con-
formity with the constitution. Com-
plaints wore already numerous about
the bad roads and If this reduction be
mado these complaints would very
materially multiply. As to the argu-
ment about boys working tho loads
he regarded It as a duty they owe to
their state tho same us they owe alli-
ance to do military services. This
thing of wm king roads by taxation
had its time and trial befoie Coke be-
came governor. The result was tho
Miu'iid'-rintr of the money and no
work on tho roads.
Mr. Vyiieuoweth refencd to the fact
that youths in cities were corrupt
while iu the country they aio dragged
out of school houses to work on tlio
rrmdq. Ho could liuauiuo no more
llagr.int class of legislation than that
sanctioned by tho present law and he
would never vote to perpetuate it.
Mr. Finch opposed any change in
the old law and contended that nlno-tecn-twentipths
of these pool- peoblo
talked about and did not uork the
roads more than an average of two
dava in the year. He had been listen-
Sioolil to tl.o Guziittp.

To tlio Senate mid Hoim of ItopresentatlTcs:
Gentlemen:! respectfully Invito
your attention to the subjects herein-
after referred to.

In view of the dlfiluultics In finding
safe and desirable Investment for the
proceeds arising from the sale of these
lands I submit to your honorable
bodies whether It will not bo best
to place them on tho market
at a long cedlt say twenty years.
The wholo subject Is fraught with
difficulties but after mature delibera
tions i am ot tue opinion mat a sale
suggestion of courso goes beyond tho
general fund that may be provided by
tho state. It Is understood that your
honorable bodies havo already Under
consideration proposed amendments
to tlio constitution relative to this sub-
ject. From the best data before us
it Is believed that the state can pay for
four ruid three-fifths and possibly llvo
months schooling for each child in tho
state within tho scholastic nge. lean
seo no reason why other localities than
those now embraced by the law should
not bo allowed to levy and collect an
additional tax for tho purpose of aid-
ing tho state in tho efforts at ctvlnir
tho peoplo an education. If tho right
to levy this tax by localities la confined
to property holders there can bo but
llttlo danger of its abuse. The consti-
tution cannot bo amended so as to al
low u separate sohool tax to bo col-
lected so as to bo available undor
three years. I do not doubt but that
every dollar of tho available fund In-
cluding tho one-fourth of tho general
leveulio will be utfllicd by your hon-
orable bodies for the education of the
youth and that thu neces-
sary constitutional amendments
will be submitted to
the people. T am cleat ly of tho
opinion that tlio state with a llttlo aid
from communities should bo able to
increase tho Hcholasllc mouths from
three to flva or six or more.

houses shall concur iu this opinion I
suggest that n minimum prlee bo
llxcd below which they should not be
sold and that books' be opened for bids
which shall remain open subject to the
inspection of all and at the expira-
tion of six months or biich
time as may bo fixed
the lands be awarded to tho
highest bidder. The law should als-o
reuulrea tmvmcnt in advance equal to
one ycarh Interest and should be so In
other respects as to create forfeitures
on tho parties failure to pay into the
treasury all Interest and principal
promptly when due 1 deem it proper
also to state that tho law could so
provide that the lands shall be sold In
quautltles so n3 to place theui
within tlfo reach of all. If
any person shall waut more than tiny
ouo quantity sold ho can purchase
oilier ;tiacts. ftifcgutud should also
bo made against allowing water lronw
and privileges being taken up with-
out a corresponding quantity of other
lands. Should water l routs and pnvi-
leges bo observed leasing the bulk of
other lands unsold they would realize
very little. It is believed that an in-
terest can bo derived from this
mode of disponing of the-lamia orjuul
to any that can be had f tout any other
wotnc'e and all questions about a safe
investment aro thereby 'settled. J
deem It unnecessary to enter Into tho
details of a bill on this subject. Still
I nury say I don't think the minimum
price of the lands should he leas than
two dollars an uoie. With reference
tolho pli.e lands or thoo not desira-
ble for pasturage or ugrieulluial pur-
poses T submit whether a side
of tho timber alone Is not the best dis-
position that can uo made of them if
thc-Hs lauds are ofi'eied In quantities
that will place them within tho reach
of all and the fact of their being placed
on the market and published In such a
manner that all tho world may know
of it and be able to compote for it will
largely enhance the valuo and Induce

It is not unsuro to say that there
aro as mahy insane persons confined

the Insane relations In any other way.

want of adequate apaitments for tne
caioofthis tinfortunato class. I rec-
ommend the enlargement of the
gioundsand buildings at the capital
and tlio eiectiou of another asylum in
aomo distant part of the state. The
trouble difficulties and expense- of
conveying insane persons long dis-
tances undoubtedly often deters

1IMKM ASYLUM
This institution with a few addi-
tional improvements seems to meet tlio
public demand. Like tho management
of the pcnetentlailc I am unable to
see wliv the oceullht for this Institu-
tion should in)t bo subject to
tho superintendent. The stt-
peiinteiident Is Ur.i;'l in
contract with an oiilocr that he has no
voice iu appointing or removing he
does not fool 11 his duly to look after
his subordinate. Nor does ho Indeed
feel at llbei tv to speak of him freely
even when asked. Tho executive can-
not hold tho superintendent rcdpoiisi-
bio becatteo ho docs not appoint him
and yet the execution must rely on the
superintendent to a greut extent be-
cause It is only through him that the
governor can be Informed and I
respectfully biigirest thoreforo that the

I to this view of the subject.

These companies under our laws are
allowed extraordinary right and priv-

they amount to a largo portion of tho

they are so crowded with busi-
ness they cannot accommodnte
all who pat ion l.o them then
thoy should be required to provide ad-

Ordinarily as now managed hi send-

to be entirely useless and there ap-
pears to bo an Incompatibility between
a military organization null private

tho otherri dependent on it appear to al-

without tho sanction or authority of

It has been a custom In tho past to
extend the tlmo from year to year for
tho redemption of property purchased
by tho state when sold for tuxes. This
practice is believed to bo In violation
of section 10 article 8 of tho onusUm-
tlou. Where this Is done taxation
cannot bo uniform and equal. Tho
state has no right to credit ono person
for his taxes and require tho balance to
pay promptly.

tho duty or suing mat ineso
Institutions perform their duty
to the people Is the only buio mode of
protecting them. 1'orsons with small
capital cannot and wilt hot contend
for their rightH when withheld by
these coporatlons and I therefore
recommend thai a comnd-sloij or three
or moro persons be appointed in such

to take charge of the subject.

Tho success of the ciToi t now being
made to obtain tho money expended
in frontier dufciiho depends largely
upon tiiu manlier In which tlio chums
are presented and audited. Our mem-
bers in congress have not the time and
It cannot bo expected of them that
they will give to that subject the at-
tention It requires and therefore
recommend that piovlslon bo mado to
have that matter properly attended to
at Washington.

Invito an adverse claim to mat terri

as a territory to which the state bus an
undoubted title.
