PAGE TWO GOVERNOR MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS t In Annual Message to Legislature, Touches on Matters of Legislation FINANCIAL PRINCIPAL MATTER DISCUSSED( | Change in Fiscal Year, New, Education Board, Loan Fund for Scholarships. Columbia.?Revision of State finances, ivWsion of the system of control of ncnal institutions, a new edu- i cation board, the employment of a large State constabulary for law enforcement, a State movie censorship, the need of a State office building, the necessity for a constitutional convention, a purchasing agent for nil State institutions, an enlargement of the budget law, so as to provide budgets in all counties of the State, a I vesurvey of the State and alterations in the tax assessment machinery, increase of teachers' salaries, the enact ment of a State highway bill, abolition of the county chain gang system end the creation in its stead of a j State system?these are among the most important matters touched on by Governor Cooper in his annual message to the legislature, which was read before both houses last week. The message caused considerable interest and will be the cause of much serious consideration on the part of 4 Kr? !/%(? ol r*4*rv%?c? T 4- ? Mi o a tut: ii< w an i ijvui vv:u a-1 information. Governor Cooper's message opened with a word of greeting to the solons and an expression of pride in the con dition of prosperity and economic peace which again exists in the State today. "Few, if any, followers of the red flag are to be found within the boundaries of this State," the message says. State finances are the principal matter dircussed by the governor. Expenditures for the year 1919 were larger than the appropriations, the executive says, in referring to the work of the budget commission. This was due to the fact that many depart ments have large incomes and handle the expenuituie of such moneys. The governor recommends that "we should work toward the direct appropriation of all money, having public funds to go in^> the treasury and the . be expended only under appropriation times." The governor sugve ts t'.a. WATCH 3^^ tiers ?

The State, he says, is always '1 year behind in its finances, like a re tenant farmer, borrowing money to eh pay rxpcnsi-s. I >? The Governor urges that the House j hi pas? the constitutional convention j tV resolution, referring to the people in | cs the 1920 elections the matter of a con g< stitutional convention next year. He Si says the present 25-year-old constitu- m lion is not adapted to the present u] reeds of the State. uH The Governor's idea of a central fi i hoard for the control of all penal and a charitable institutions involves the abolition of the various boards of con ie tiol. He suggests that the governor o: be made an ex-officio member of all p< such boards. si With regard to the creation of a n< central board of education the Gov- b< crnor says: "1 do not recommend the s< abalition of the various boards of "1 trustees; nor should this general n hoard have power to select teachers, S make local rules for institutions or school districts, but the general board a should have the same policy directing li authority over school districts that it tl has over districts that fall under the s< general law. At present we are work ing without a well defined, comprehensive program, and without any re- s< sponsible agency to determine the a field of various institutions. We s< should have a long-term program, all a ( mbracing, so that we might know n toward what goal we are building." a The governor suggests that on the b general education board should he <4 the chairmen of the education com- ti mittees of the two houses, the State tl superintendent of education and the c Governor, and other members .wculd v represent, he says, various phases of u public education. The Governor mak- a es it clear that he is not implying c that any existing board is a failure. He says he simply wants to improve t' the machinery as far as possible. t Scholarship lx>an Fund. t The Governor recommends the ere- a ation of a State scholarship loan fund, s to take the place of free scholarships, i; He says the students to whom money is loaned shouhl be allowed to pick their schools. The fund would, he suggests, be handled by the central education board. The governor dwells at length on < ; the matter of pay for teachers. He | says that a salary of a thousand dol- , lars should be the minimum, and ho j 'urges, increased appropriations for | . purpose lo save the school system | j from an acute situation due to the i I scarcity of teachers. He endorse - the j proposal for a board of certification J | for teachers and better compensation 1 of county superintendents of educa- , tion. . . J Governor Cooper urges an enlargement of the public health work of the 1 oo m enfn o'li'ivrlino* of r mniun- : . DlttVV: <? ?...f, ~~ - . j ii y lifo. j The Governor urge good roads \< ft' islation as necessary to the economic, . ocial, education and r digious life cf : the State. "Are we willing to continue to pay the exhausting' cost of had roads?" lie ask -. He refers t> the highway bill recently sent to the members of the General Assembly. "The form of legislation, however," he adds, "is not of first importance, nor of primary interest. Just pass an act that will result in good roads ah over the State. This is the goal and we must not again fall short of it." "All convicts should be put under a State control," says the Governor, ' and the squads scheduled so that each county would receive its proportionate share of convict labor in 1_ the building of permanent roads. Un- j " der this plan results would in all i J"! probability be more satisfactory," 11 j says the Governor. The Governor H j recommends the abolition of the ? j county chain gangs as a means of sav 1 1 < A - 1.1. - j irig ovcrncaa expense vu uie uuun] ties. He says he believes poor results are obtained under the present I system. I With regard to the assessment of j property the Governor suggests that Mho General Assembly apportion the I total amount of all appropriations to i the various counties according to their taxable wealth. He urges a con 1 inuation and enlargement of the work now done by the tax commission. The Governor does not discuss the I qiirstion of special sources of revenue, sueh as State income tax and inheiitnn.'O tax, but says he will tlisdiscuss those matters in a later mcsI sage. New S rvcv of State. The Governor urges a new survey of the State, that property not now on the tax bo k may bo listed. The Governor comes out strong for .the election cf a State office build / 'HE HORRY HERALD, CONW/ i iff. Ho says it would ho the-mean r saving the thousands of dollars nitLtally that now go to paying rent for apartment offices. The recommendation for a pure has ig agent^for all State institutions ia ie with a view to saving the State loney. Such an agent, say.- the G v nor, could buy in hulk at lower rices than the institutions now pay >v their necessities of life. With regard to law enforccmcnto Governor says that four hundred quests and ntore have come t:> hirr .iring the year for law officers in 11 ious parts of ti-e State. The pvohi tion 'aw makes an enlargement of to law enforcement machinery ncc;sary, he says. The Governor slights that the Legislature create a late constabulary of from 50 to 75 icn. He says it should be encumbent, pon all officers to enforce all laws, e states than an appropriation of om $75,000 to $100,000 would take ire of the new State constabulary. The Governor urges "a liberal poly towards the National Guard," in dor to be ready to cope with any olicy that may arise at any time. He lys at present the young men are ot taking an interest in the guard, ecause they are "fed up on military srvice," but this, he says, is only a temporary state of mind." This docs ot lessen the need for organized late troops, he adds. i The Governor urges passage of an ct to enlarge the powers of the pubc service commission,, giving it aulority to regulate both rates and crvice of public utility companies. Movie Censorship. AVith regard to moving picture cenorship the Governor recommends the ppointmont of a board of censors, to srve without compensation, to review 11 films. The Governor says he does ot overlook the educational or recre. tional value of the moving pictures, ut he says he is convinced that many of the pictures put on exhibiion have a very baleful influence on lie morals of the community. Young hildren are permitted to see pictures rhich excite the passions and create i the impressionable minds feelings nd aspirations detrimental to soiety." In conclusion the Governor says the lie principal running through his enire message is that of "giving auhority and fixing responsibility. I m convinced," he says, "that best reults are obtained in this way, both n private and in public business." o COPY SUMMONS FOP RELIEF. (Complaint Not Sewed). Court of Common Picas.
