Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides insight into the state of Kentucky between 1880 and 1884, through a collection of the author's official messages to the Kentucky State Legislature. The author served as Governor of Kentucky during that period, and the book provides a primary source for the study of that era in Kentucky's history. Opening with a message of economic prosperity for the state, the author goes on to reveal the difficulties caused by the state's debt and other financial difficulties. These financial issues were in part attributed to an inefficient tax system that failed to accurately assess the taxable value of property. The messages also explore the importance of penitentiary reform to ensure humane treatment of prisoners, the condition of charitable institutions across the state and the challenge of providing education to the citizens of Kentucky. The author encourages legislators to consider reforming assessment practices and encouraging the construction of a branch penitentiary to address overcrowding and provide more humane conditions for prisoners. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the history of Kentucky during the late 19th century and will be of particular interest to those interested in the history of the state, as well as to historians and political scientists.
