GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Fellow-citizens of the Genenl Assem
bly :
The official reports, wbich the law
requires to be annually made to tba
Governor, show that the affairs of
the various departments of the State
uovernmsnt and of the State Insti
tutions have been conducted daring
the past year in a satisfactory mau
tier. I shall not attempt to give a
synopsis of the facts aDd figures
-which the reports contain. The
most important parts ef them have
been spread before the people of
toe btate by the newspaper press,
and the details -which may be de
sired -with a view to legislation can
be best obtained from the reports
themselves.
Constitutional Convention.
I also refrain from making many
recommendations. Believing that
too freqacct changes or the laws
and too much legislation are serions
evils, 1 respectfully suggest that up.
on many subject it may be well to
defer legislation until the people
have acted upon the qestion of call-
in a Constitutional Convention.
It unch a Convention sba'l be called
it is not improbable that the Gener
al Assembly will be clothed with
ewers essentially different from
those conferred by the present fun
damental law in respect to the Ju
d'ciary, .Railroads, Intemperance,
and many other important subjects,
and that the Legislature itself will
be no oonebtated as to secure to mi
norities a fairer representation than
they now enjoy. "
State Finances.
The balance in the Slate Treasu
ry on the 15th of November, 1869,
whs $438,060,24 ; the receipts dar
ing the year were $4.399,932.53 ;
making the total amount of availa
ble funds in the Treasury during
the year, 4,837,99t.67.
The disbursements - dnnn? the
year have been 14,071, 954.57;leav-
ing a balance in toe Treasury, .No
vember 15, 1870, of $766,038.10.
The estimates of the Auditor of
State for " the current year are as
follows :
Estimated receipts from all sour
ces, including balances, $5,637,205.
10 ; estimated disbursements for all
purpose, 4,163,976 01; leaving an
estimated balance in the Treasury,
November 15, 1871. of t205.229.09.
The Public Debt.
The public funded debt of the
State, on the 15th of November,
1869, after deducting the anion nt
invested in loans not yet doe, was
$.855,938.27. . , "
Daring lbs last year there has
been redeemed of the various loans,
snj invested in loaas not yet due,
the mm of $133,806.36, leaving the
total debt due November 15, 1870,
$9,733,077.91. -
The Fund Coram lesion ers were
prepared to pay off a larger amount
f the debt than has been actually
discharged daring the year, but
none of the bonds of the State were
due, end some of the holders de
manded ten or twelve per cent, pre
mium, and othei-a refused to surren
der their bonds at any price. .
Increase of Taxation.
The constant and rapid increase
of taxation demands consideration.
The following table, .. showing the
taxation for different' purposes in
1860 and in 1870, and the increase
of taxation in ten years, sufficiently
exhibits the nature and extent of
the evil :

. This table shows that in ten ears
the Slate taxes have increased thirty-three
per cent, and that local
taxes have increased almost one
hundred and seventy per cent., in
other words, that less than one
tenth of the increase has been in
State taxes, an i more than nine,
tenths in local taxes.
Local Taxation.
The increaf a of local taxation has
been far greater than the growth of
the Stats in business, population, or
wealth. It U not to be doubled iiat
this bnrdsu has grown fxfimen-
sions which seriously threaten the
prosperity of the Stats.
No full and exact statement can
be made from the official reports as
to the amount annually collected
from the property holders of the
State in form of special assessments
tor what are termed local improve
icon t, but it is certain that this
bordtuis alsa great and rapidly
growing.
The Auditor of State reports cas
es in which such assessments have
been made, amounting to half of
the cash value of the property on
which they were levied, and, in one
case, which he refers to, the assess
ments was double tbe value of the
property.
In respect to these evils it is un
doubtedly easier to Snd fault than
to provide a remedy. No single
measure will remove them, rrob
ably no system of measures which
the General Assembly csn adopt
will of thtimselves accomplish what
is desired. A complete reform is
impOBsiblo, unless the City, Coun
ty, and other officers are disposed
and thoroughly competent to do tbe
work of cntting off every unneces
sary expenditure.
Much, noVever, can be accomp
lished by wise legislation: Let the
General Assembly firmly adhere to
the policy of the Constitution, and
refuse to enact special laws grant
ing powers to tax or make assess
ments. Let such powers be exer
cised only in pursuance of general
laws. Local authorities should be
empowered to levy no higher rate
of taxation than is absolutely re
quired for practical efficiency under
ordinary circumstances. In extra
ordinary cases general laws should
provide for the submission or the
proposed tax or assessment to tbe
people lo bo effected by it, under
sjjch regulations that it can not be
levied unless at least two-thirds of
the tax-payers approve ths meat
are. - - "
Local Indebtedness.
One of the most valuable articles
of the present Slate Constitution is
that which prohibits-the Slate, sve .
la a lew exceptional vue, irviui
creating any debt, and which pro
vides for the payment at an early
day. ot the debt already contracted.
am convinced mat it wouia ne
wne to extend ths same policy to
the creation of public debts, by
county, city, and other local auth
orities. The rule, -pay as yea go
leads to economy in public as well
sb in private affairs, while the pow
er to contract aebta opens tne aoor
to wastefulness, extravagance and
corruption.
In the early history ol ins ."State,
when capital was scarce and ex
pensive, public works were requir
ed for transporting the products of
the Slate to market, public debts
were probably unavoidable. But
tbe time, I behove, has come when
not only the State, but all of its su
bordinate divisions ought to be tor
bidden to incur debt. The same
rn'e on this subject ought to be ap
plied to local authorities which the
Constitution applies to the State
Legislature. Experience has prov
ed that tbe power to contract debt
is as liable to abuse by focal boards
as it is by the General Assembly:
If it is important to the people tnat
the State should be free from debt,
t is elso important that its munici
pal divisions should not have power
to oppress them with the burden of
local indebtedness.. " . .
Fixed Salaries for all Officials.
It would promote an economical
administration of the laws if all of
ficers, State, Couaty, and Munici
pal, including the' members of the
Legislature, were paid fixed salar
ies.
Under the existing laws, a part of
the public officers are paid by fees,
and a part by fixed annual salaries
er by a per diem allowance. The
result is great inequality and injus
tice. Many of those who are paid
by fcos receive a compensation out
of all proportion to the services ren
dered. Others are paid salaries
wholly inadequate. For example,
many County officers, and some Ci
ty officers, receive greater compen-
sation than the Judges of the Su
preme Court of the State. Tbe sal
aries paid to the Judges ought to
be increased ; the amount paid to
many other officers ought to be re
ducod. To do justice, system of
fixed salaries, without fees or per.
quisites, should be adopted. The
people of Ohio will without ques
tion, sustain an increase ol tbe sala
ries of Judges and of other officer
who are now inadequately paid
Bat it can probably best be done ss
a part of a system which would pre
vent tho payment to public officers
of enormous sums by means of fees
and perquisites. To remove all
ground of complaint, on account of
i!ijntico to presont incumbents, the
new system should apply only to
lhon elected alter ita adoption.
Revision of Sates of Taxation.
In addition toP considerations a!
ready presented in favor of a revis
ion of the rates ot taxation, which
local officers and boards are auth
orised to levy, another controlling
reason is not to be omitted. By the
recent revaluations of real estate,
the total basis of taxation for the
State at large will probabiy bo in
creased almost forty per cent., and
in many of tbe cities the increase
will Le nearly' 100 per cent. This
renders it imperatively necessary
to revise the present rates, so as to
prevent tbe collection and expendi
turo f sums so much grottier than J
the publio good demands..
The Penitentiary Prison Reform
Under prudent nd efficient ma
nagement ths earn.ngs of the i eni-
tenliary continue to exceed its ex
pensea, and at the same time, grati
fyibg progress has been mad iu im
proving the condition and treat
mem of the prisoners. The hate
ful and degrading uniform of the
number of years is disappearing ,
increased means of education, secu
lar and religious, are afforded, and
Ue officers of tbe institution ex
hibit an earnest desire to employ
every inslrnmeutality authorised
by existing laws to restore its in
mates to society, improved in bsb
its, capacity and character.
While much has been done in
our Slate durin the last twenty-
five years for. tbe improrcmsnt of
prison discipline, it is not to be de
nied that much more yet rema:us
to be accomplished.
Assuming tbat the time as not
arrived to attempt a radical change
Of our prison discipline, the follow
ing' practical suggestions, consist
ent with tbe present system, are
onerea lor your consideration : A
convict is now allowed a deduction
from the period of his sentence as a
reward for good behavior; the pow
er to extend the perioJ of the sent
enco as a punishment for bad con
duct would also, under proper regu
lations. exercise a wholesome influ
ence in the discipline ot the pris
on.
The importance of classification
among convicts is now aoiTersally
admitted. For economical or otb
er reasons the establishment of an
intermediate prison will perhaps be
inexpedient at this time, li is re
lieved, however, that by employing
convict labor the additional build
ings and improvements required for
a satisfactory ctassincation, can be
erected on the ground adjoining the
old prison, recently purchased and
now enclosed, at a small expense
compared with the cost of a w
prison. This plan, it is hoped, will
receive your most careful consider
ation.
It is also recommended that the
Board of Stale Charities be empow
ered to aid discharged convicts to
obtain bocest ernploymoul. Ao an
nual appropriation of a small sum
for this purpose, snd in the course
of a few years, would probably save
a large number, 'who, without such
help, woulu again return to a crim
inal course of life. .
County Jails.
The most defective part of our
present pnsoa system is probably
our County Jails. It is. supposed
about 8,009 persons pass through
our County Jails each year. Tbey
are generally persons charged with
crimes and awaiting trial. But lu
natics and petty offenders, in cons
siderable numbers are also confined
in these places. The young and the
old, the innocent and the guilty,
hardened offenders and beginners in
crime, are commonly mingled toge
ther in tbe jails under few res
traints, without useful occupation,
and with abundant ' leisure, and
temptation, to learn wickedness.
jails have been fitly termed nurse
ries of crime. Plans of jails, not
too expensive, Lave been furnished
by the Board of State Charities
which provide lor tbe absolute sep
aration of the prisoners. It is re
commended that the law shall re
quiro all jails to be bo constructed
as to entirely prevent this promis
cuous and dangerous intercourse.
Statistics of Vice and Crime.
Yoor attention is particularly
called to the recommendation of the
Board of State Charities, that the
propor authorities of all oflheci
ties of the State should be rcqmrcd
to make, full reports annually, to
tbe Legislature, through the Gov
ernor, of tbe statistics of vice and
crime, and of the work of tbe police
department in such cities. And al
so to the suggestion that prosecut
ing attorneys should not be allowed
ta enter a nolle prasajuLin any easel
Ul bu luuu'kuieub iui a vruuu jpuu-
ishable by imprisonment iu the Pe
nitentiary, or by death, without the
written approval ot tbe Attorney
General first, given upon the writ
ten report to bim of the facts.
' The importance of this is suffici
ently shown by the fact that in '69
tbe namber of cases in which a
nolle prosequi was entered exceed
fifteen hundred.
Reform School for Girls.
Tbe Girl's Reformatory, at White
Sulphur Springs, contains forly-
nine inmates, and it rs bow demon
strated that the number is likely to
mcreaso as rapidly as the welfare of
the institution will allow. What
ever doubts may have been reason
ably entertained as the necessity
for such an institution, prior to its
establishment. 1ho report of the Di
rectors and Superintendent, and a
thorough investigation ot the facts,
will, it is believed, satisfy you that
the institution is a very important
one, andougbt to be liberally supported.
Soldiers' Orphans' Home.
The report of tho Supemntendent
and Trustees ol the Soldiers' Orph
ans' Home will engage your earneBt i
attention. Tbe duty of pioviding
for the educai'oa and support of tbe
children of the soldiers of Ohio who
fell in the war lor the Union, was
fully recognised by the resolutions
and acts of your last session. It is
not doubted that your action was in
accordance with tbe will of the peo
ple of the State, and they earnest
ly desire tbat the duty of caring for
tho soldiers orphans, shall be per
formed in a manner that will wor
thily expro-s the affection and gra-
tituao with which these wards of
the 5Ut6 Til "BnTTever tie Tttftrdei by
a just and patriotic community. I,
therefore, respectfully recommend
that tbe legislation deemed necess-1
nry by the Board and Officers in
charge of the institution be enacted
as prumpiiy as practicable.
Geological Survey.
Tho report ot the Geologies! Sur
vey, to bo laid before you, exhibits
tho encouraging progress of that
work. Tho future growth of Ohio,
in wealth and population, will de
pend largely upon tbe development
of the mining and manufacturing
resources of the St a to. Heretofore,
our increaso in capital and numb
err has been chiefly due to agricul
ture. Important as tbat great int
erest will always be in Ohio, the
rocent census shows tbat-we may
not reasonably anticipate, in fu
ture, rapid growth in population or
wealth, from -agriculture alone.
Without calling in question the
great and immediate benefit to ac
crue to agriculture from the geolog
ical survey, it is yet true that the
tendency of its exhibition of our
vast mineral wealth, is to encour
age tbe employment of labor and
capital in mining and manufactur
ing enterprises. Let tbe work bo
continued and sustained by ample
appropriations.
Constitutional Convention.
It is necessary that the General
Assembly, at Us present session,
