ough their representatives, upon

a source of pride to every Pcnn
lvanian to learn that, notwithstand
g tho extraordinary expenditures
which we have hecu subjected d ti
ns the last live years, in consequence
ftlie rebellion, reaching the large
mount of $4,028,027.21 (in addition
what has been refunded by the Gcn
al Government), we are, on tho for
mation of the current fiscal year,
jancially in a better condition, by
e sum of 2,500,173.72, than we were
i the 30th day of November, 1800.
By a statement hereto appended, it
ill be seen that during that time wc
iTe reduced our public debt $492,
58.00, while ur assets have increns
1 $2,0G7,235.00. These facts demon
Irato the immense resources of the
tate,and cannot fail to give increased
onSdcnee to tho holders of her obli
vions. During the last five years,
,'t least three hundred thousand of her
Stizcns have been called away from
he peaceful pursuits of life. Millions
f her treasure have been contributed,
publicly and privately, to snstain her
jallant sons while battling for the
Teat cause of freedom ; and yet she
xtands to-day with an overflowing
treasury, and with every just demand
pon her paid. . ' - -;
The receipts of the hist year exceed
lioso of 104 by $1,480,070.05, the

much of the necessity for this advance l.ieut. ucn. iitant. ucneram jiowaru,
arises from tlie hieh local taxation Uart liurz and Jlon. John t-ovodc,

mayor : In 1805, 5,840; lfc.r8,,xj;i ;
1800, 0,075 ; 1802, 4,810 ; 104 ; 5,720-
0 others, in addition to tins minon-
inconio of $9,250,000 during the same
period, pays $9,232.77. The Lacka
wanna and' Bloomsburg Kailroad Coin-! rendered necessary to liquidate debts 'together with all documents, exhibits
pan, with an incomeof$700,0H0.pays
$10,383.03. The Erie and Northeast,
with an income of only $500,000, pays
$14,754.43, and tho Atlanticand Great
Western, with its immense capital and
traffic, paid tho insignificant sum of
$0,031.57.
It cannot bo ascertained at present,
what the gross receipts of the differ
ent railroad and transportation com
panies will amount to for tho past
year, but they will most probably
reach the sum of $00,000,000. A tax
of three-fourths of one per cent, on
these gross receipts would yield as
much income, and would be far more
equal in its operation than what is
now known as tho tonnage-tax. This
change in the manner of assessment
would double tho taxes ofsoiueof our
large corporations, but it would pro
portionately reduco tho amount now
paid by others, who are unfairly iealt
with by the present system. "
B a iaw approved April 30, 1804,
the treasurers ot corporations aro re
quired to deduct the three-mill tax
when paying the interest on the bonds,
q4 pay the same over to the Mate
treasurer, This law thus far operates
advantageously, v ielding in 180j an
excess of 150,100 over . tha . previous
year. But it is still imperfect, nnd
oii"ht to be Amended. A JL&x of three
milii on the principal of a six percent,
bond is the same as a tax of fivo per
cent, on tho interest.
1 recommend that luo Jaw bo so
amended u& to reoire -a tax of five
pernt, t Ite he paid on tho interest
accruing on all bonds. This will make
a fivo, six or seven per cent, bond
bear equal burden. Tho corporation
Kuould Le reijuired to make its roturn
to the Auditor General, instead of the
in cured by counties and towns to pay
bounties for the war. Presuming that
our receipts will be $5,420,000
Our expenses, 3,300,000
Leaving a balance of $520,000
Will still leave a oalance in the treas
ury f $520,000, over and afove all
necessary expenditures. If wc add to
this a tax on banks, of $470,000, it
will give us $'.190,000, nearly a million
of dollars to be appropriated to the
redemption of the public debt. From
this statement, it seems clear to me
that we could get Jong witlMcttcry
ing one dollar of tax on tiie real es
tate of the Commonwealth. We can,
at least, suspend its collection for a
year or two, until we have tried tue
experiment.
All of which is res-eciiuiiy suo-

lircly ceased. This diminution has penalty tor a non-compliance, lins
one of the most reliable sources of in
come to the State Treasury ,and should
receive tho early nnd caret ulconsidera
tion of tho Legislature.
Some method should be adopted by
which the officers of the State can learn
the whereabouts of officers of foreign
corporations liable to taxation under
our laws. As the law is now enlorcod
but a small projwrtion of iIicno iusti
tnttons pay any tax into tle treasury
If all corporations,- both foreign nnd
domestic, were required ,to keen
complete record ot the namosot tJjejr
officers, places of business, Ac., with
the Auditor General, it would greatly
facilitate tho colleetia or taxes duo
from litem to the State.
Our license laws require amendment.
Nino-tenths of tho theatres pny no li
censo at all, and in tho city of Phila
delphia alone, nearly three thousand
persons, liable, under the laws, annu
ally fail to take out licenses as venders
of merchandise. This is from no fault
of tho county officers, but arises from
the fact that these people are allowed
to appeal from tho decision of tho
mercantile appraiser to an alderman,
and from tho judgement of the alder
man to the county court. Tho result
is that the year for which they arc re
at - 1 I
iheen caused ny me uanns
Vcased to operate as State institute,
and accepting charters under ine na
tional banking system. As theso cor
porations are still located in our midst,
nd derive all their profits from their
iusiness relations with our people, it
ivill houdmitted by all that they should

H had (terminated adversely, would
i ave left them with little or no capital
stOitnx. On inquiring ofthe comptroll
er ct tho currency, I learn that tbe na
tional banks of Pennsylvania have a
lpital of $4(5,043,190. A tax of one
per cent, on this amount would, o

Jbcavily taxed by the funeral Govern
ment, fur in fact, these SUte banks,
Ly placing themselves under the na
tional banking laws, have escaped the
Jarger portion ofthe iscreased taxa
tion that all other trades and &cu

count ofthe war. An exhibit of the
relative nmonnt of Uxca paid tinder

the war.
