Book excerpt: Excerpt from Message of Phillips Lee Goldsborough: Governor of Maryland, to the General Assembly of Maryland at Its Regular Session, January, 1914 To the Senate and House of Delegates of Maryland: Obeying the mandate of the Constitution that the Governor "shall from time to time inform the Legislature of the condition of the State, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he may judge necessary and expedient," I take this opportunity to address you upon such subjects as occur to me to be worthy of your early and special consideration, at your now pending session. We are now confronted by a condition where those of us who are charged with the responsibility of government must learn to differentiate between the things that belong to the "Parties" and those that belong to the "People." The way in which we can accomplish the best results is to approach every proposition without regard to the source of its origin, and only consider the merits and demerits of the matter without consideration of its Party bearing. If we can maintain among us that proper confidence in our patriotism and unselfish devotion to the State's interest, which is not only becoming, but let us hope deserved, there will be less delay and difficulty in solving the intricate and delicate problems which surround us and become more involved as the complexity of civilization increases. Economy does not consist of small expenditures, but in the value of the purchase as compared to the outlay. Yet it will be impossible for the State to carry forward its plans for the development of its system of State Highways, increasing the efficiency of the public schools, accomplishing the many reforms in our penal administration and care of the indigent insane and feeble-minded and other charitable institutions, unless we husband our resources, both by making the most of what we have and giving our undivided attention to the development of dormant sources of wealth. It is not enough to know that we possess these resources, but necessary that we fully employ them. It does seem that we have been blessed with unusual advantages, and it is for us to demonstrate that, in so far at least as the government is concerned, they are developed.
