OOT. BWANSON'S MESSAGK
Oovemor 8wan?ou's meaaage to
tbe Q-aoeral AsMmblv of Virginia i?
sot? only aa able State paper, replete
with cooaarvative recommendatione
tor progiMMlv? work by the Legisla
tare, bat ?tamps Mr. Swanaon aa an
execoti-e who i? wide-awake tu the
opportonitiea of Virginia at the
preernt time, and closely in toucli
with all State affaire. After eetting
fortti tbe splendid aarplua in the
State treaaary. and the tendency
on aocoant thereof to be extrava?
gant, be pointe out the necessity for
?cononiy and flrmiiM? and recom
menda that now ia the time for mak?
ing- provisions for larger annual pay
men ta on our public debt. The Gov?
ernor recommend? State aid for
building public highway?, and in
tbia connection ?ay?: "I recommend
that tbe State annually appropriate
$250,000 tor road improvement and
construction. ? ? ? 1 recommend
that thia amount abould be used
Brat to pay the expenaee of the High?
way Comm?Mioner and the opera?
tion of the 8tate road force, and
that the reeidue be divided among
the counties In proportion to tbe
taxes paid by the respective counties
Into the State treasury. ? ? ? Tbe
appropriation ahonld be available
only to those counties, or communi?
ties In the counties, which will, in ad?
dition to tbe road tax now paid.
raise an amount at least equal to
that appropriated by the State."
This paper has ao often advocated
this plan of State aid that it is un?
necessary to say that it meets with
our entire approval, and we not only
hope to sea the Legislature pase a
bill along the lines suggested, but we
hope also to tee the counties active?
ly take the matter up and act upon
it.
The Governor also recommend* In?
creased appropriations for primary
and high school?, and tbe eoustruc
tion of another female normal
school. He recommends an increase
of pensiona for Confederate soldiers.
and tbe erection at Gettysburg of a
monument by the State to the Vir
ginia troops killed in that battle.
Governor Swanaon makM numer
on? other suggestions to the General
AsMmbly which deserve its careful
coneideration. Indeed we might say
that the Governor's mesaage in a
good and safe chart forthat body to
sail by, and the enactment into law
of well nigh every recommendation
that be makM will redound feo th.
Interest of tbe State.
GOV. HUGHES AND X. C. B?HM
Gov. Hughes, of New York, in re?
fusing to accept aa a gift to nin BtaW
one million dollars of the repudiated
bond? of North Carolina has won foi
himself the respect and esteem ol
every Southerner, whether he renitiei
in North Carolina or elsewhere Jr
Dixie. It waa an act such as might
have been expected from such a mat
aa the Governor of New York hai
proven himself to be, and will, we be
lleve, meet with the hearty appro va
of his own people. Tbe relations be
tween New York and North Caroline
in besfneets and other ways are t o<
close and cordial to have been severe?:
and destroyed by a suit to recovei
on these carpet-bag bonds, which. I
ia ?aid, were conceived and issued ii
fraud. We do not believe, after th
example set by Gov. Hughes, tha
there will be found in this country i
chief executive of a single Common
wealth who will accept these bond
for tbe purpose of having his Stat
sue a sister State. All honor to th
Gorernor of New Y'ork for his genei
oua action.
It ia very evident from statement
mads by a large number of tnembet
of the next General Assembly, in r
sponae to inquiry of The Timcs-Dii
patch, f-a to "what they will try t
accomplish" in the way of legisli
tlon during the pratsent session, the
a great effort will be made to get n
annual appropriation from tbeSta
for permanent road building in 11
?counties. Senator Aubrey Strode,
Amherat county, about eipresaos ti
average sentiment of those fuvoral
feo State aid, as follows:
Tha laet that about 50 per cent, ot t
taxable values of tbe State are In t,
narrow confine? ol the incorpor?t
dUea, or subject only to State taxatir
and thu* beyond the reach of other th
State appropriation? for road purjiot?
emphasize? the justice of the detna
that th?State Treasury contribute?ar|
ly to county road-building, in thla w
the wealth of the cities, so largely be
up by tbe county highway? leading In
them, could and ahould be laid un<
contribution to aid In ?upport o? t
burden from which the cities derive
mneb benefit
There Is no doubt that our conn
roads still never be generally a
p?**-rmanent]y improved if we depe
entirely upon local capital,and the
fore we hope to see the time wfa
both the State and national govei
xosat will render substantial ass i
anos. Of course the local cour
people cannot and ought not to
pact outside assistance if they do i
also help th*?mselves, and when Sti
?and federal aid does come, it will
doubt come with tbe proviso tt
mm amount be appropriated by lo
authorities equal to the amount i
propriated by th? Stats, or et
equal to the amount appropriai
by both the State and natioi
gov*STument? Ia our opinion we c
look tor some assistants from t
