On January 9, he will turn over reins of state government to his 1t>emocratic successor, Judge Henry jBorner of Chicago, after having completed sixteen years of service as I 'iP'fbKtm official, four of them as chief ^^pxecutlve of the Commonwealth. * i; In a general statement regarding tfhe seriousness of the problems that ?

In discussing the accomplishments <of his administration, the governor ^tressed economies effected during his term of office. He revealed that his iadmlnistration had turned back to the state treasury a total of $19,500,000 of unexpended appropriations that had been made to the various departments under the executive office. Of that 'amount, $1,000,000 was in unexpended appropriations for salaries and wages. "Savings have been made In practically every department of the government," Governor Emmerson said, "but a few examples will illustrate the consistent application of economy In administration. *' Paving Costs Reduced. "In the department of public works and buildings, the average cost of twolane highway construction in 1928, prior to the beginning of this administration, was $28,949 per mile," he said. "The average cost of two-lane paving last year was $19,861 per mile, and recent contract prices averaged $18,638 per mile. ' "In order to effect a large saving " the cost of material," Governor Emmerson continued, "it was necessary, on two occasions, to reject all cement bids and to demand new bids more in line with what the state considered a fair price. "Another marked saving has been ' made by more economical purchase of supplies through the division of supplies in the department of purchases and supplies. During the quadrennium ; purchases made through this division . have averaged 20 per cent lese than wholesale prices. Discounts 8av« $1,241,000, "In keeping with the policy of conducting the state business efficiently, advantage has been taken of cash discounts, and during the four year pe- ; rlod, a total of $1,240,948 has been saved in this way. "A perpetual Inventory system installed at the state's institutions has resulted In a tremendous saving In upkeep. Due to this and similar efficiencies, the per capita cost of operation of the state penal and charitable Institutions has been reduced. "In the construction of new hospitals under the direction of the division of architecture and engineering, the cost of new quarters has averaged less than one thousand dollars a bed, as compared with approximately three thousand dollars a bed for similar construction in other states. "The cost of operation of the division of architecture and engineering was reduced from $129.50 for $1,000 of contract work in the fiscal year of 1927-1928 to $18.54 in the fiscal year of 1931-1932. By the inauguration of a new system of keeping power plant record/3, a material saving In the amount of coal used has been accomplished, which will result. If continued, In a saving of approximately $400,000 per quadrennium. "Another economy was effected by reducing the average cost of bovine tuberculosis tests from 61 cent* ty 42 cents."?' ; Overcrowding Relieved. - Governor Emmerson pointed with pride to the accomplishments of his administration in relieving the overcrowded conditions that he found existing In the state's charitable and penal institutions. When his administration took office, he said, the results of a survey presented to him showed that 4,200 additional beds were required In order to give each patient of the hospital group descent sleeping accommodations. Many patients were sleeping on floors or in attics. "A gigantic and costly program of construction was ahead of us," Governor Emmerson said, "but firmly convinced that the fixed charges of the state should be met by current taxes and revenues, I rejected pleas for the issuance of bonds to finance this program of construction and instead asked for and obtained appropriations for new buildings from current funds. Immense Building Program. "Within nineteen months after ground was broken." he continued, "patients were admitted to the new state hospital at Rfanteno. In less than two years, the State Reformatory for Women at Dwight was opened and new buildings were erected at various other Institutions. At the end of the first two years of the administration, each patient had a bed with adequ£te floor and air space and the crowding in the prisons had been relieved materially. "During the quadrennium 8,260 beds have been provided and the Dwight reformatory, the new Fqrm Colony for the Feeble-minded at Lincoln, the Illinois Surgical Institute for Cripnjed Children, the Psychiatric hospltairat the medical college at the University of Illinois, and the Manteno State hospital have been added to our eleemosynary system. "In addition to the construction of the Women's reformatory at Dwight, mentioned above, other important improvements in the pejial group included the building of a complete new plant at the Illinois State Farm for Misdemeanants at Vandaiia to replace the wooden shacks, which were a disgrace to the state; the building of a new cell house, new dormitory and addition to the hospital at Joliet, and new cell houses at Poutiac and the-^Southern Illinois penitentiary. "This tremendous development of the institutions has been accomplished without strain on the state's resources, vindicating the pay-as-you-go policy. Care and Treatment Improved. 'While the building program was being pushed, the administration at the institutions and Improvement In humane care and treatment were also given attention. As a result the institutions in Illinois have taken rank among the best In the United States. In four years medical staffs have been doubled and registered nursfes have' been trebled In numbers. Co-operation of four medical schools has been brought about to promote research and aid In the fight against disease. 'Improvements have been made In the service on behalf of dependent children and progressive steps have been taken In the development of vocational and academic facilities at the schools for the blind and deaf and for delinquent boys and girls. The village at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's school at Normal, perhaps the most modern and attractive Institution of its kind in the world, has been completed. In planning this institution and improvements made In the care and treatment of war veterans In the state hospitals, the department of public welfare, at all times, has had the hearty cooperation of service men's organizations. • " > Only Ten Pardons QrairiaC "Notwithstanding the constant increase in crime, the evergrowing population and the industrial depression, the board of paroles has performed Its duties diligently and impartially and its actions have been entirely free from scandal The board has been fair to prisoners and at the s$me time has exercised extreme discretion in granting paroles.

This includes $1,000,000 for salaries and wages. By prompt payment of bills a total of $1,240,948 was saved in cask discounts. A perpetual daily inventory system and other improved accounting methods resulted in tremendous savings in operating costs ia the institutions. Over-crowding in institutions relieved by erection of 69 new buildings and an increase of 8,260 beds in the institution*, accomplished without bond issues by use of current revenues. Tbe cost of these buildings was $1,000 per bed as compared with $3,000 for similar construction in other states. FiW new institutions were added to the State's eleemosynary system, the State Reformatory for Women, the Farm Colony for Feeble-minded at Lincoln, the Iflii^i* Surgical Institute for Crippled Children, the Manteno State Hospital and the Psychiatric Hospital in Chicago. The medical staffs in the institutions have been doubled and registered nurses trebled in number and car* and treatment of the insane greatly improved. Marked improvement has been stajs ia the State's car* of dependent children. Emergency relief has been provided for hundreds ef thousands of unemployed through the Illinois Emergency Relief,. Commission. This State was the first to >adopt a comprehensive program for aidiag the unemployed. Employment was provided for thousands through thc State's road building and institutional construction programs. More than 100,000 jobs have been fottad for workers through the State's free employment offices, which were increased to meet the emergency. Supplies for the institutions purchased at an average of 20 per cent below wholesale prices through a centralized purchasing bureau. More roads built during this quadrennium than in any other similar period in the history of the State, in spite of the fact that the highway bond issues had been exhausted when the administration took charge. Approximately 4,800 miles have been added to the primary and secondary road systems. Paving costs have been reduced from $28,949 per mile for tWia-lane roads under the previous administration to $19,861 per mile. Six hundred miles of city streets havet been taken over as a part of the State system. .-A1 On the Illinois Waterway as much work was done in the four years as had been done in eight years previously and it was then taken over by the Federal Government at the request of the administration and will be open to traffic next spring. Utility rate reductions effected by the Illinois Commerce Cwnaissioa resulted in the saving of millions of dollars to consumers. The State's park area has been doubled, Lincoln's Tomb has been reconstructed and the restoration of the Village of New Salem has been begun. Farmers have been aided through increase in bovine tuberculosis eradication, extension of marketing information and assistance, and in the effective eradication of insect pests.

X More Roads Built. In highway construction, Governor Emmerson stated that there had been more progress in his administration than in any previous four-year period in the state's history. During that time, he said, the highway division constructed almost 2,900 miles of paving on the state bond issue systems, or approximately 150 miles more than was completed during the previous four years, and at a cost of almost a million dollars less. At the same time there were about 1,900 miles of highway constructed on the secondary system as compared with 596 miles during the previous four-year period*. Highway construction on the bond Issue systems and the secondary totaled almost 4,800 miles during his administration, Governor Emmerson continued, as compared with the highest previous total of 3,470 miles constructed during the quadrennium of 1921- 1924. Likewise, 1,026 bridges were completed by the state and counties out of road funds during the 1929- 1932 quadrennium, as compared with 783 constructed In the previous four years. Governor Emmerson called attention to the fact that his administration had given more recognition to the Chicago metropolitan area in the matter of highway construction than ever before, having constructed and opened to traffic a total of 405.40 miles of highways in the Chicago metropolitan area as compared with a total of 281.77 miles constructed during the previous four years. He also stated that Illinois, In keeping with its policy of providing free vehicle bridges, had constructed four bridges over the Illinois river, has in progress a fifth, and has under consideration plans for two others. In addition, he said, the state co-operated equally with the state of Indiana In constructing two bridges over tbe Wabash river. Gasoline Tax Enacted. Enactment of the three-cent motor fuel tax In 1929, which was sponsored by' him, was cited by Governor Emmerson as the means by which the state was enabled to continue its road building activities during his administration. " Among other legislative enactments and new policies that enabled the highway department to make Its outstanding record during this administration, Governor Emmerson cited the enactment of the Hunter bill which authorized the state to take over «p- / ' Spanish Dollars TSiere are several typeB of Spanish American dollar size silver coins following the introduction of edge Presidential Salute From 1812 to 1821 the number of shots in the Presidential salute corresponded with the number of states. ^Hie number in 1812 was 18. The numwas 24. It remained 24 unit was placed at 21. .number 21 was selected proximately GOO miles of city streets occupied by state routes, aud to construct belt lines around cities for through traffic. As a result of that legislation, he* said, the state expended or made commitments during 1932 for approxl mately $4,000,000 for city street Im provements and $500,000 for maintenance. In keeping with the administration's policy of promoting greater safety on the highway, Governor Emmerson said, the state police organization In the division of highways was reorganized and Incensed, resulting In approximately i OUO arrests for violation of traftV and othe:1 laws and the payment Into the treasuries of local communities of $800,000 in fines and costs. He declared that the highway police organization has come to be recognized as one of the outstanding forces of Its kind in the United States. Waterway Completion Assured. Through the success of his efforts to obtain federal assistance in completing the Illinois waterway, when it became apparent that state funds would be insufficient, Governor Emmerson declared that It will be possible to open the waterway this spring. > Prior to the taking over of the waterway by the federal government, the state of Illinois had completed io a period of one and a half years, approximately 32 per cent of the construction work to be done. This was equal, he said, to the amount of construction work done during the period from 1921 to 1928 inclusive. Unemployment Relief. One of the great problems that confronted his administration, Governor Emmerson said, was that of unemployment relief. "No emergency In the history of Illinois ever has approached In magnitude the conditions with which we have been coping for more than two years," the governor declared. "To create the machinery, provide funds and make plans for relief In the face of the rapidly growing demand was a herculean task. "The first effort In the beginning of the depression was to provide as much work as possible. In the construction of highways and needed buildings at tbe institutions, the state government provided Jobs for many thousands and the administration did what It could to encourage private corporations to do likewise." Governor Emmerson then outlined, briefly, unemployment relief activities In Illinois, beginning with the volun- First "Commerce Chamber** French chambers of commerce own their origin to the city of Marseilles, where In 1599 the town council, which had hitherto looked after the commercial Interests of the city, found It no longer possible to combine commercial with municipal functions, and established an association, which it called of Commerce," to take ^ierclal part of its duties, be the first time that './Emersou's Condemns£iea A public oration Is an escapade, s non-committal, an apology, a gag, not a communication, not a speech, not a man.--Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his "Essay on Spiritual Laws." -A. if Simplicity^' Ifalntatn a holy simplicity of mind and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes, or longings, untiar any pretest.--Francis d» Sale* tar* mmb on s wised at his wtutMh tton In £he fall of 1930. He 0olnt«l out that Illinois was the 0rst state to evolve a comprehensive program on unemployment relief. Its plan, he said, has received the dommendatlon of the President of the United States, and has been used as a pattern in forming relief agencies In other states. Warns Against Dole. After mentioning specific legislation enacted for unemployment relief, the financial assistance obtained from the Reconstruction Finance corporation, and stating that more than $37,000,000 in obligations had been incurred by the Illinois Emergency Relief commission, "Governor Emmerson sounded ,a note of warning. "In the light of tbe experiences through which we have Just been passing," he said, "steps should 'be taken for a study to determine measures to prevent widespread distress from unemployment In the-future. "The survey should be directed toward determining such Important questions as whether or not It Is feasible for business and industry in times of prosperity to build up some form of reserve for emergency unemploy-" ment relief ; in what way our antl-. quated poor relief system should be revamped to make It mora effective and better able to meet extreme emergencies, and In what way government resources can be pooled, or public construction work can be timed so as to provide the greatest measure of relief In periods of general unemployment. "I am unalterably opposed to a dole system, or anything that approximates a dole system. I believe In Individual responsibility and initiative, and In the duty of the neighborhood and loc&l community to care for its poor. Indiscriminate benevolence and 111 advised charity IS an add upon our social fabric. Relief of-every kind must be administered with skill and sense as well as heart. 8tate Employees Commended. In discussing unemployment relief. Governor Emmerson paid a high compliment to the employees under the executive office, who, at his suggestion, contributed to unemployment relief, one day's pay per month for four months during the winter of 1930-31, and for six months during the winter of 1931-1932 with total contributions of approximately $500,000. The money was distributed in accordance with the wishes of the employees, undesignated funds being sent into counties where local relief agencies were unable to meet the needs. Not one cent was expended for overhead, Governor Emmerson continued, and an exact record was kept of e.very cent received and expended. Utility Rates Reduced. Among other achievements of hts administration, Governor Emmerson cited utility rate reductions that are saving millions of dollars annually to consumers; the doubling^of the state's park area; the adoption ef a definite park policy; the reconstruction and remodeling of Lincoln's tomb, and the start of wort to restore the village of New Salem where Lincoln spent his young manhood. While Governor Emmerson listed briefly the accomplishments of each of the code departments In the spoken part of his address, he gave a more detailed report of their activities In the portion of the message which he did not read. State Tax Rate. Then Governor Emmerson turned to a discussion of the state tax rate, and the conditions that forced the state tax levy board in December of 1932, to increase the state tax rate from 39 cents to 50 cents on the $100 valuation. Governor Emmerson explained that the assessed valuations had decreased $1,000,000,000, while at the same time the receipts from sources other than taxation had shrunk from approximately $32,000,000 in 1930 to an estimated $16,500,000 for this year. In addition, Governor Emmerson pointed out, that expenditures of the state have materially Increased by the shifting of county and local expenses onto the state. Governor Emmerson declared that merely to supply from the property tax funds to take the place of the lessened revenues from sources other than taxation would have required an increase of about twenty cents on the $100 of assessed valuations, without even considering a decreased valuation of property. "During this administration," Governor Emmerson continued, "the state school fund (distributed to local school districts) has been Increased. The compensation of court reporters, one-half of the mothers' and blind pensions are now paid by the state. These four items have Increased the state's annual expenditures $4,000,000. On the former assessed valuation It would require a state tax of five cents to produce enough revenue to pay these revenues transferred from local government to the state. "It would require an Increase of about 25 cents In the rate for the revenue fund to compensate for the decreased valuations, reduced receipts from other sources and increased expenses mentioned," Governor Emmerson continued. "As a matter of fact, the rate was raised from 14 to only 21 cents. This was how hopelessly inadequate the state's revenue will be for the coming year unless expenditures are cut proportionately." Observations on Government. Among other factors having an adverse effect upon the financial condi tlon of the state, Governor Emmerson cited the reassessment In Cook county which has resulted In that county owing the state $29,000,000 In taxes and the weakening effect the semi-annual plan for taxes has upon the balance in the state treasury. Governor Emmerson concluded his Packed Bundles Whenever packing away bundles of clothing, blankets, furs, etc., to be used at some future date, label the outside of them so that they need not be unwrapped to find out the contents of the package.

" Speed of Iceboats Ab iceboat can sail faster than the wind when It sails at some angle to it and it is said that iceboats have been known to sail twice AS fast wind driving them. addrew *ttlt th» conduct of stale government based upon Che knowledge he has gained In bl§ experience with state affairs. "It is not a part of my duty, and It would be inappropriate for me to suggest specific legislation to this gen eral assembly," he said. "That Is the prerogative of my successor In office. My suggestions, therefore, are confined to certain broad principles which 1 feel should be applied to legislation looking toward a better organization of the fundamental structure of government "Relief from the excessive. burden of taxation is uppermost in the mind of every citizen. It has been one of my chief concerns throughout my administration, but many barriers to adequate relief have been built up over the years and can be removed only by progressive and forward-looking measures. As I have pointed out throughout this message, I have done what I could toward decreasing the cost of state administration by efficient management of the departments under my direction. More can be done in the future by consolidation of some of the agencies of state government "But the cost of state government Is but a small part of the total tax bill. By far tbe larger proportion of the burden is due to the cost of local governments. This cost can be reduced materially by the application of strict economy in administration, but substantial and effective relief can be obtained only by the consolidation of many of the tax-levying bodies In the state--numbering approximately 19,- 000--and by the elimination of others. Consolidation Urged. "These thousands of tax-consuming agencies have, been set up by legislation from time to time throughout our entire period of statehood. It Is not a planned government There Is overlapping of authority, duplication of effort and tremendous waste of public funds. :) "It is my conviction that this condition can be remedied only by a thorough study of the entire problem by competent persons and by the amendment of the constitution and the recodifying of statutory acts to effect drastic changes in governmental structure. In the planning and consummation of this great reform there Is an outstanding opportunity for patriotic service. "In undertaking this great work, it should be recognized at the outset that government, often in response to clamorous minorities, has| extended its prerogatives far beyond the original conception of Its essential functions. It has made unwarranted encroachments on private business and has invaded fields that ml^ht well have been left to individual Enterprise. "Another source of waste 16 the practice" adopted by the federal government in recent years of making contingent appropriations of public funds on the basis that the state is to provide part of the money and fulfill certain requirements iri order to share in the appropriation. It Is, in the first place, an invasion of the legislative functions of the state, it often results In the appropriation of money by the state for purposes of doubtful benefit Federal funds to which the people of the -state contribute through their federal taxes are used as a lure to get from them more money contributed through their state taxes. "I do not believe In appropriations of jthl&.kind, either by congress to Influence state legislation, or by the state to influence county appropriations. Borrowing Criticized. "I would like also to sound a warning against the profligate practice of borrowing from the future by means of bond Issues which serve to Increase our present taxation and will become a burden on posterity. It has been so easy to raise large sums of money by bond issues that public officials have been giving little thought to the effect of this practice on the community. Borrowed money must be paid back by taxpayers and often they are compelled to pay $2 for every dollar borrowed before the bond Issue Is retired. "There should be more strict supervision over the Issuance of bonds and voters In the future should scrutinize with the greatest care the-necessity of every bond Issue before thek give It their approval. I am unalterably opposed to the Issuance of bonds, except in cases of extreme emergency, without approval at a referendum. "As a fundamental step toward equalization of the burden of taxation, the revenue section of the constitution must be amended. As I previously explained, I have seen the necessity of this .throughout my administration, and undertook to bring about ltrf accomplishment during my term of office, but unfortunately the resolution adopted by the Fifty-sixth general assembly in special session was not approved by the necessary majority of all votes cast at the general election in November, 1930. "It is impossible to work out a satisfactory system of taxation in this state as long as the uniform rule of assessment and the general property tax in the revenue article of the constitution of 1870 limit the power of the general assembly In this Important function. ^ "In conclusion i want to express my warmest appreciation for the splendid co-operation of members of the legislature upon whom have been placed such heavy burdens because of the many emergencies which necessitated the calling of five special sessions In the four years. "Also In this public way I want to thank departmental heads and the employees who served under them In the various departments under my supervision for their hearty assistant and co-operation."
