GOVERNOR OUTLINES REPORTS
Long Awaited Special Message From
Hughes Deals With Direct Nomi
nations, Investigation of Corrup
tion and State Finances.
Mbanv. June 21. What will the stnte 1
legislature In speclnl session assembled j
do, now that the long nwnlled special
message from Governor Hughes has
been roeelved.nnd road'
The question is not only Interesting
Albany today, but Is being nsketl
throughout the state. In fact, the
eyes of the people not only of the state
but of the nation are today upon Al
bany. This Is not only because of the
Importance of shine of the Issues nt
stake, but because the governor, chief ,
rigors In the battle. Is soon to sit as
a Justice of the United States supreme
court, and every utterance he now i
makes Is of wider than state Import-
nnce.
Governor Hughes asked the legisla
ture to act again on the direct nomina
tions question. He also nsked the leg
islature to pass what he considers
would be n broader resolution, for n
legislative Investigation of corruption.
Governor Hughes nlso called attention
to the fact that the appropriations
thls "rJcU 1,0 'I?8 a?Provelarte
over ?u,uviu,wu more iiuiu me eau min
ed receipts of the state treasury this
year nnd favors the passage of a pro
gressive Inheritance tax to meet this
deficiency lit receipts,
Governor Hughes urges that such n
tax would be fairer than the graduated
Inheritance tax which the legislature
did pass to meet this deficiency nnd
which Is nwaltlng the governor's sig
nature, but the governor prncticaily
says ln his message to the legislature
that he Is going to veto this bill "be
cause In principle It has been objected
to heretofore by the United Stntcs su
preme court, which denied the con
tention that the rule of tax under the
federal wnr revenue of 1808 was meas
ured by the whole estate.
These are the only three subjects of
legislation recommended by Governor
Hughes for the consideration of the
legislature in a special message com
prising 7,000 words. A fifth of tho
messngo was devoted to the question
of direct primaries. Regarding the
Hlnniaii-Green bill, the governor says:
"I hare not chunged my belief with
respect to .this measure, aiid I trust It
may yet commend Itself to the judr.
Inentrof the legislature."
Governor nughes devotes tnrctrfifths
of his message to discussing the
finances of the" ritate. After pointing I
out that the expenditures which he
has approved for this year are $0,000,-1
000 In excess of the $30,000,000 reve-1
nue Which will come Into the state
treasury this year tho governor rec
ommends legislation which will raise
'llllliuuiin ii-tioiiuiuu it nil II III lliifv
nough revenue to make the anuunl re-
1 1 r kj miiio I tt tint ntitmnl nr iirttw 1 1 1 n wc '
without disturbing tho ?0,000,000 sur
plus lu the stnte treasury, which will
be nil eaten up otherwise. When the
peoplo voted to Issue $108,000,000 for
the barge caual and !SO,00O,O0O for
good roads It authorized n direct tax
each year to provide an amount which
would take care of the Interest and
sinking funds for these bonds mutual-
But two years ago tho legislature
decided not to have u direct tax for
this purpose, but to meet these pay
mj'iits out of the annual indirect rove
nues of tho state treasury, and the-
payments on account of the canal and
highway sluklug funds and Interest
this year amounted to $2,G."i,(it0. Gov i
onuc Hughes points out that In four
or five jVara this amount will bo in 1
creased to SS.000,000 a year when all .
the bonds aro int. nnd he says the
state will be obliged to go back to a
direct lax nnd adds:
My reflection upon this matter has
Ud me to the conclusion that when the i
peoplo authorize a bond Issue upon n
basis of u direct tax to pay the bouds
that direct tax should be Imposed."
Concerning direct nominations, the
governor said:
"1 recommend for your consideration
the subjeet of tho amendment of tho
law relatlug to primaries, the irtnklng
of suitable provision for direct nomi
nations of candidates for public of
fice und lu connection therewith provi
sion for representative nnd responsible
party management.
"The peoplo are dissatisfied with ex
isting conditions and demand a change,
whatever may bo said of Imperfec
tlous lu tho laws relatlug to this mat
ter In other Jurisdictions. There can
be no question but that these laws re
flect a wholesome sentiment which is
countrywide und cannot bo denied.
That sentiment Is that tho Instrumen
talities of party management shall not
bo so arranged ns to facllltnto tho pur
poses of those who would subvert gov
ernment to their selfish ndvnntage. It
U n sentiment that demands for tho
members of political parties simple
Hid direct mothods by which they can
exercise their Just rights In determin
ing party choices."

Uneasiness Caused by Rumor That

the governor Is closely allied with the
"sporting element." It Is said that
the governor had formed a prejudice
against Jeffries because tne pugilist
some time ago refused to pay n gam
bling debt, but Jeffries hns since set
tled with Gambler .May at Reno, and
the skies nre clear. The fight, It Is
thought, will be held there.
Another fai t that hns been brought
to light Is that the prizefighting men
did much to bring about their down
fall ln San Francisco nnd their final
exclusion from California.
When It looked ns though the minis
ters opposing the Jeffries-Johnson fight
had been nuted. and that both state
and city officials were "lined up" with
the promoters, San Frnnclsco was cov-
erewlth fl h't ters ,n whIch one of
the pugilists was described as a "bone
crushing demon." This, It Is believed,
was Intended to excite the ministers.
The promoters, it Is said, believed the
church Inlluencc harmless and wished
to show their contempt for it
As to the report from Reno, sporting
men here who know Nevada law de
