Governor Mann Tells Why He
Will Not Call Meeting of
Legislature.
Settlng forth ln succinct form the
various reasons recently discussed ln
opposltion to calllng an extra sesslon
of the Leglslature, Oovernor William
Hodges Mann yesterday replled to thc
letter of Harry St. Geprge Tueker.
which contained a requost that the
sossion be had for the purpose of
legalizing prlmary electlons. Tho re
sponso of the Governor sets forth no
new matter, but It was regarded by
those who read lt as a strong and
convincing paper.
Thc Governor says ln the first place,
that Mr. Tueker was evldently mis
taken in assumlng that a largo ma?
jority of the Domocrats would regrct
his decision not to call an extra ses?
slon. He has recelved, he says, a sum
total of nine letters on the subject?
two ln favor (Mr. Tucker's being one
of these), slx agalnst and one from
Whlch tlie executivo could not gathcr
an opinion.
Governor Mann says that the prl?
mary ls protected by law, as lt stands,
I and, while he has respect for tho Nor
I folk judges who have held this law to
be unconstitutlonal, ho ls suro that
j they were mistaken in thelr judgment.
I He refers to the Jackson Wlse case,
In which thc Supreme Court upheld tbe
validity of tho law by dcclining to
grant a wrlt of orror.
Would Elect Senator.
Contlnulng, tho Oovernor reminds
Mr. Tueker that should a special ses?
slon be called. it would be its duty to
elect a CJnited States Senator. thua dc
featlng the declared policy ot' the partj
ln respect to the selectlon of Sena?
tors. Again, he does not see the polnt
ln having a sesslon to pass a prlmary
law, when the State already has a
law whlch has been declared constltu
tlonal hy the highest court, and whicli
three successive Legislatures have de
clined to change.
Flnally, the Governor says that an
extra sossion would cost between $C0,
000 and $65,000, which would be un
reasonably burdonsomo to thc tax
payers of tho State.
Referring to tho letters of Messrs,
; Echols and Melntyre, of the Stato Com
j mittee, Governor Mann says ho pro
BUmos they have. convlncod Mr. Tueker
that ho was Incorrcctly lnformed ln
\ respect to a recommendatlon by the
Second Dlstrlct Investigating commit?
tee for a legalized prlmary. For all
theso reasons, the Governor says, "j
trust that you will agree wlth me th;-t
iny decision not to call the Leglsla?
ture together ls wlse, and for the best
intercsts of the people of this Com
monwealth. Certainly thls l* mv ,??.
cluslon, and one to whlch i must ad
here."

For tho second tlme the Supremo i

of orror in the suit brought against
lt by W. T. Dewls. On the lirst trial
in tho Corporatlon Court of Danville, '
Lewls was awarded :? :t, u 0 0 damnges,
and an appeal was taken, ln wliich thc
uiso was revorseil and sent back for

He then trled to mount the movlns

Tho sole allegaUon, according to
tho petltion of the rallway, ls tliat tho

project too hlgh. On thls polnt tlie
case seems to rest.

A wrlt of error was also griinted |
in the case of Ollvla Crutchflcld
against Etta Greer, from tho Circuit
Court of Franklln county. Construc?
tlon of a wlll ls the Issue.
In 1871 Ollvla J. Ilelms died, leav?
lng a wlll, whleh provlded that lf
she left no chlldren her husband wns
to have all her property, to do wlth
lt as ho saw nt. lf she survived him.
tho property was to go to her brother.
Samuel Hclms. Tho reason asslgned
for thls preferonco for her brother
was that her mother was rcmarrlcd to
a wealthv cltlzen, and, accordlngly,
wlth her daughter bv this second mar?
rlage. was well provlded for
Crntchfiold of tho ....
Samuel Helms had died only flvo
yoars after the death of hls sister,
leavlng hls daughter, Etta Creer, as
hls only heir. She now clalms tho
property by reason of thc will.
Tho lower court. construlng the
papor, said that lt rmant tliat tho
husband was to havo tlio proporty "to
dlsposc of by will." nnd that as ho
dled intestate, the ostate goes to Mrs.
Helms's brother and hls heirs. On the
other hand, the petltion eontends that
tho reason G. M. Helms dld not leave
a wlll was because he belleved ho had
absolute rlghts over the property, and
that it was therefore unnecessary to
take care of hls child.

thods ln the dally transactlons of the

of the govornmont's buslness, are
among the rccommondatlons contulned
in tho annual report of Franklln Mac
Vcagh, Secretary of tho Treasury, prt
scntod to Congress to-day.
The expenses of tho government In
the flscal yoar 1912, for whlch thls
sesslon of Congress ls asked to appro
prlatc, are estlmated at $630,194,013.12.
Tho estlmated oxpendltures of tho
Panama Canal aro glvon as $56,920,
S47.69, making a total of 9687,414,
SBO.SL Tho estimates, If carried out,
represent net savlngs of about $18,
000,000 ln the executlvc departments
ib compared wlth the approprlatlons
for the current flscal year.
Whlle tho secretary's report esti?
mates the total expenses of govern?
ment at $687,414,860.81, tho estimates
whlch have been transmitted to Con?
gress ask for $748,414,861, a dlfference
it $61,000,000. Congress ls asked to
ippropriate thls extra $61,000,000 to
make the slnklng fund law cffoctlve.
lt would bo an appropriation to permlt
tho treasury to begln applylng 1 per
;ent. a year to the dlscharge of the
lational debt. Thc law authori/.lug
juch a proceduro has been a deal lot
:er for some tlmo, as Congress has
levcr approprlatcd any money.
Ucccipts for '1912, Secretary Mac
Vcagh estimates, wlll be $680,000,000.
.vhlch would leavo an ordlnary sur
_us of around $50,000,000. lf the
treasury should continuo to pay for
:he Panama Canal out of the cash
Irawer as at present, stich a surplus
.could bo turned to a dcflclt of $7,
114,860.81.
Secretary MacVoagh, expresses the
liope that tho monetary questlon wlll
?ome Into Congress detached from scc
:lonal or polltlcal conslderatlons.
Pnnlo llrcril. r.
"Our system can fnlrly bo called a
nanle-breedlng system," hc says,
'wherea3 every other great natlonal
banking and currcncy system ls panlc
prcvcntlng. As long as wo continuo
under our present system wo aro llablc
to panlcs and thc devastatlons of
panlcs reach Republlcans and Demo?
crats and all part3 of the country
alike. Panlcs are no longer neces?
sary, and no longer respectable. It
is for tho government to say whether
we shall have panlcs ln the future or
not. It ls a moro matter of cholce.
"We have no system of reserves; our
i.nktng system destroys them. It con
?entrates ln New York what are pre
tended to be reserves. and then forces
tho New York banks to lend and
ihollsh them. Our system. Instead of
.ulldlng up a reserve, destroys lt as
fast as lt Incllnestto accumulatd."
In connectlon wlth hls crltlclsm of
the money system, one of Secretary
MacVcagh's most Important recom
?nendations concerns future lssues of
Panama bonds. of whlch $290,000,000
were authorl-cd by the tarlff act. Thc
iccretary renews thc recommendatlons
he made last year for legislation to
tax thc new bonds at l 1-2 per cent., lf
tscd by natlonal banks for circulation
md lntimates, as was announced ln
iews dlspatches, a few days ago, that
t mlght be more preferable to Issue
be new securities for investment pur?
poses only at a rate of 3 per cent.
As a check agalnst the use of the
londs as the basls for a further in
latlon of the natlonal bank currcncy
io suggests thnt a circulation tax of
>von 2 per cent. would h-vo tho effect
)f making them unprofitablc for banks
Lo use f"r such a purpose and at the
lame time would make them attrap
lvo to Investors wlthout Injurlng the
! per cent. bo; ds, of whlch more than
">700,000,000 are outstandlng. Another
neans of accomplishing the same end.
hc secretary suggests, would be for
.ongress to authorlze an Issue of $50,
100.000 or $100,000,000 of the bonds at
! por cent., wlthout tho circulation
jrlvilege.
If there ls no prospect of immcdlate
:hange In the monetary system the
iccretary thlnks the Amerlcan na
lonal banking system should bo de
.loped to perform an Internatlonal
'unctlon. There ls a clear need of
ninking facilitles in foreign countrles,
vhere there is American commerce, ho

Revicwlng the dltfcovery of frauds
and the subsequont reorganlzatlon of
the customs service, Secretary Alao
Veagh urges approprlatlons for rc
wards to thoso who ald tho govern?
ment. Tho rehabllltatlon of tho cus?
toms servlco at Now York has boen
marked, ho says by a decided elimlna
tlon of apoils, Inlluc-.o nnd practical
polltics.
"Amerlcan travelers aro more and
nore roallzlng tho indefonslblencss of
nnuggllng, its rank dishoncsty and its
ind examplo and influence," says tho
-eport.
itecommondlng a study of the clussl
led Bystem of employes, the secretary
Icclarcs that a clvll servlce retlrcment
3 absolutcly tho requlsltc of a satts
'actory system. The contrlbutory sys
em of retlrlng allowances the secre?
tary recommends as tho only ono
vhlch has a chance of adoptlon and as
jest for tho men and women of the
lorvlce. Hc urges thelr frlends to
?oncentrate upon that movement. A
:omplcto state of efflclency ln the gov
irnmeiit departments, hc says, ls im
loaslblo wlthout somo way of retlrlng
:lcrks ln a Ju.t. and humane manner.
Secretary -lacVoagh strongly recom
nends that all non-polltlcal offlces be
ncluded in the clusslfled servlce. As
dstant appralsers of customs should
ie detached from polltics for tho efflcl
:ncy of tho servlce ho says. The secre
ary pays a high tributo to tho men
)f the life saving servlce, and urges
lomc form of retlrement for them.
As tho cconomios of adminlstratlon,
.vhlch have haan offected ln the Troas
iry Department, are rcviewed, the
secretary pauses to tako notico of
i statement made by a Unlted Stafes
senator, that tho business cf the gov
>rnment could be conducted with a
saving of $300,000,000 a year.
Secretary MacYeagh says: "The pop
ilar impresslon as to tho oxtent of
)osslblc economtes In.tho admlnlstra
lon of the executlvc departments ls
ilngularly exaggerated, and thls mls
:onccptlon ls very harmful.
"When the public expects that thc
rcKvernmcnt can save J300.0.0.0UU a
'ear, such small, laborlous savlngs as
an be made- ln the executlvc depart
ncnt3 hardly seem worth whlle. And
t ls astonlshlnp that under such clr
?umstanees Intcrest in these compara
Ively small savlngs can be malntaln
'd. These savlngs can only be dfsap

lgures as $300,000,000 in mlnd; and
hey cannot recelvc any popular credit,
'or they can only seem to be small
rifllngs wlth great things. * And yet
hey can only be produced by laborlous,
lalnstaklng and perslstent methods

"When lt ls the fact that the cntlre
irdinary expendltures of thc govcrn

'00,000, and when a great part of these
txpendltures ls not reduclblo at all, as,
or examplo, thc Interest on thc debt,

hat there probably is not very "much
nore than $300,000,000 gross left on
vhlch to save $300,000,000. Now, to
