Report of the State Treasurer.
We commend the attention of our read
_
ers - to the report of our present able and
efficient State Treasurer. Time and want
'of room compels us to omit noticing his
wholesome recommendation as regards our
financial affairs, but we endorse them
heartily, and hope that the. Legislature
will act on his suggestion promptly. The
finances of Pennsylvania were never in a
more prosperous condition, and we con
gratulate Mr. Slifer that his noble;efforts
to redeem the credit of Pennsylvania
has been crowned with such perfect suc
cess.
The Admission of Kansas.
We only give expression to a prevailing
sentiment among the many prominent
'Republicans now assembled here, when
we say that the admission of Kansas should
not be hurried through the present Con
gress, so as to become a law during the
Administration of Mr. Buchanan. It is
undoubtedly, true that the greatest injus,
tiee has been done her by not admitting
her into the Union long ago. But now,
when only two months are to intervene
before . the incoming of a Republican
President, self respect and the interests of
the party surely dictate that we should
hesitate in bestowing upon the slave
power the patronage of the new State, as
a reward for their past oppression.—
Enough wrong has already been inflict
ed upon Kansas, without fastening upon
her a Judge of the Drad Scott type for
life, immovable by President Lincoln,
whose court will be a refuge for the slave
holder and the kidnapper, and where the
doctrines of the veto messages. of Gov.
Black and Gov. Medary will be held and
enforced. The country is not so well
supplied with Judges who hold to the old
and venerated constructions of the Con
stitution maintained by Jefferson and
Marshall and their compeers, that we can
afford to be throwing judicial stations into
the hands of our enemies.
No one doubts that President Lincoln
will 'call a special session soon after the
4th of March, and that will be time eqough
to act:; or in default of that it will be
time enough in December next.
Southern Aggrsssions.
The toadies of a Southern aristocracy,
many of whom claim to be Democrats,
are just Low assailing the North for its
aggressions upon Southern rights. When
asked for particulars, they mouth words
about personal liberty bills, etc., as tho'
the North were really censurable for their
passage. .We find in an exchange a few
charges on the other side, w hich are tan
gible and true. In the first place, the
understanding from the commencement,
and on all hands, South and North, was
that slavery was tolerated as a temporary
necessity; which was to be gradually,
steadily and utterly eradicated. That un
derstanding and virtual agreement the
South first ignored. In the annexation
of Texas, in defiance of the strongest re
monstrances, they inaugurated the policy
of making slavery perpetual. The repeal
of the Missouri Compromise was a furth
er step in the same bad faith. Some of
the provisions of the fugitive slave law
were most unchristian, intolerably offen
sive to non•slaveholders, and unnecessary
to the maintenance of that law—yet
modification was refused. The extradition
or lynching of our citizens on mere suspi
cion, not only without proof, but in defi
ance of proof to the contrary. The illegal
imprisonment of our colored seamen. The
-baniehment of Judge Hoar, in defiance of
all law and courtesy. The brutal assault
on Senator Summer, who, however un
wise, was entitled to the protection of law
—the worst thing ever done in intimida
tion of government and law.

Report of the State Treasurer,
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
Grammar; :—ln compliance with the provi
sions of the act of 16th March, A. D., 1832, re.
lating to this Department, I have prepared,
and have the honor to submit the following re

The total indebtedness of the State atithe

of thirty-seven millions nine hundred and six

It will be observed that the reduction of the
public debt, during the year, amounts to six
hundred and sixty-nine thousand one hundred
and thirteen dollars and fifty-seVen cents. The
revenue received were three hundred and forty
seven thousand and ninety-two dollars and
eighty-three cents less than in the previous
year. This deficiency occurs, principally, in the
items of corporation tax, (other than banks,)
and interest due from the Sunbury and Erie
railroad company.
Kith ordinary receipts, and economical ap
priations, three quarters of a million of the
state debt can be paid annually.
The balance in the Treasury at the close of
the fiscal year has been considerably increased
by the surplus of receipts over expenditures in
the month of December, and will, from known
sources, be made sufficiently large to pay the
interest due on the first proximo.
From the hitherto, liberal policy of the
banks toward the Commonwealth, I have no
doubt that arrangements can be made with
them, by which the whole amount of interest
can be paid in coin. I regard this as a matter
of so much importance, that, should amicable
negotiation with the banks fail, the Legislature
will be duly notified, that provision may be
made, by law, to maintain the credit of the
State.
Whilst it is proper, in the present disjointed
conektion of public affairs, threatening political
and financial embarrassment, that Pennsylvania
should examine well her statute , books, to see
'that nothing is upon them which, even by sem
blance, tarnishes her political reputation, she
should be equally solicitous to wipe out every
thing that can, in the least degree, affect her
financial honor. Perhaps no one thing has
done more to impair the standing of Pennsyl
vaina securities abroad, than the tax upon her
own loans. This I have always regarded as of
questionable propriety. In view of the inviola
bility of the State's obligation, it is difficult to
conceive how such tax was ever justified. The
1 State promises, in terms too plain to admit of
any doubt, that for the use of money lent her,
she will pay five per cent per annum. With
this understanding the loans were negotiated
and the bonds of-the State given. But without
the consent of the parties with whom she had
thus contracted, a law was passed reducing the
rates of interest to four and three-fourths per cent.,
thus virtually repudiating one-twentieth part of
her solemnly pledged obligation.
In the sixteen years which have passed since
the passage of the said act, one million four
hundred and twenty thousand six hundred and
thirty dollars and ninety cents, have been re
tained from the bondholders.
The following is a statement of the taxable
and other loans due and becoming due.

It will be observed that nearly two-thirds of
the taxable loans are overdue. The holders of
these allege, and with some degree of justice,
that they have double cause of complaint.
First, that the State has violated her contract
with them as to the rate of interest. Secondly,
in postponing indefinitely the payment of the
principal beyond the time originally fixed in
the contract. Stern necessity, alone, could ever
have justified the State in taxing her own in
debtedness. Happily, such necessity no longer
exists. 1,• therefore, recommend the repeal of
the law, and suggest the propriety of making
provision, enabling the proper authorities to
embrace the first favorable condition of the
money market, or as soon.as it can be done, at
no less than par, to issue new coo.pon loans, not
taxable, for the redemption of the loans overdue.
She State should be to her citizens, an exam
qle of fidelity and promptness in all her engage
ments. This can only be :done by practicing
the same fidelity in the discharge of her
obli
gations, which she, by law, so justly requires
of her people.
. The revenues lost to the State by .a repeal of
the tax on her own loans, could be more than
made up by an increase of tax on broakers and
private banking establishments. These are
large and growing interests. Their business
may be fairly estimated at one half of that of
regularly incorporated banking institutions-
The receipts for incorporated banks, for the
fiscal year ending November 30th, 1860, were
three hundred and thirty-eight thousand six
hundred and fifty-onedollars seventy-two cents,
($338.651 72.) From brokers, including pri
vate banks, nine thousand six hundred and
seventy-three dollars and eighty-two cents,
($9,673 82.) Whilst the latter assume to
themselves all the rights and privileges of in
corporated banks, except the privilege of issu
ing notes, they are almost litterally exempt
from taxation, and are subject to none of the
restrictions which the law throws around in
corporated institutions, for the protection of
the public.
Almost every county in the State has one or
more private banking establishments, many of
them doing a large and legitimate banking
business, whilst not a fcw of them, feeling un
restrained by the law regulating the paying out
of foreign depreciated currency, or the rate of
interest which may be charged, are but little
better than shaving shops. The establishment
of these private banks all over the_Common
,wealth, has the effect of .greatly lessening the
Pennopluattia fail Cdtgrapl), C)ursbap 'Xiternaon, January 3, 1861.
revenue from "money at intereat." A few rich
men, in a neighborhood, having money to lend,
form themselves into a banking company, pay
a nominal license of thirty dollars per annum
to the State, then put out their own money,
and all they can get on deposit from their
neighbors. Although a low rate of interest is
paid for moneys on deposit, yet when the as
sessor comes to make the annual assessment, it
it is treated as on deposit; the owner holding a
certificate and not a note, In this way, many of
these establishments gather most of the money
in their vicinity, do a business of from two to
five hundred thousand dollars, and some even
0939,323 09
8,479,257 31
more, by the simple payment of a tax of thirty
dollars, when the same money, if taxed as
"moneys at interest," as contemplated by law,
would yield a revenue of from five to twelve
018,580 40
hundred dollars.
The recommendation of some law to protect
the community from being flooded with a de
preciated currency by some of these institu
tions, belongs to another department, as also
the propriety of confining all licensed brokers
and banking companies to the same rates of in
terest which the incorporated banks are permit
ted to charge.
But I would earnestly recommend, that in
addition to the license now charged, a law be
passed compelling companies of every kind,
and individuals licensed to do.„banking busi
ness, to make an annual return to the Auditor
General, stating under oath the amount of in
come from all sources pertaining to their bank
ing business, and that they be charged a tax
on all such income, at least equal to that
which the law now imposes on an amount of
"money at interest," which would produce a
sum equal to such income at six per cent. per
annum.
Justice to incorporated institutions, which,
for the same privileges, pay annually large
sums to the Commonwealth, as well as the pro
per protection of the revenue intended to be de
rived from "moneys at interest," demand le
gislation on this question.
I would call your attention to the proceed
ings of the late Bevneue Boardi copies of which
will be furnished you. There are some sug
gestions presented worthy of consideration and
adoption. A carefulseView of -its whole pre- -
ceedings, I think, will show conclusively - that
the Board has failed to meet the object contem
plated in its creation: I think it could safely
be abolished, and the power - now 'vested in it
lodged with the State officers. They would
have the same obligation to act justly, whilst
they would not be trammelled with the same
local prejudices and local interests.
The duties of the Board, as fixed by law, are

to "ascertain and determine the fair and just ualue
of the property its the city of Philadelphia, and the
several counties of this Commonwealth, made taxable
by law."
.rlt will be observed by the proceedings, page
42, that instead of making, a ."fair and just
valuation" as . their basis of action; they re
solved that the necessities of .-the Common
wealth did not require an increase of valuation
above that of 1857. Shifting their action from
an inquiry as to the "just valste of property
made taxable," to that of "the wants of the Trea
sury," they have fixed the valuation, according
to their own language, "at from fifty to sixty
cents on the dollar—probably less." -
With our mountains of coal and iron, our.
rich agricultural lands added to the wealth of
our towns and cities, the valuation of real and
personal property, including money at interest,
tax.= offices, &c., amounts to but five hundred
and sixty-nine millions. That of Ohio, with one
seventh less territory,amounts to eight hundred
and fifty mill ions,and that of New York to near
ly fifteen hundred millions; our valuation being
but two-thirds that of Ohio, and but about one
third that of New York. Real and personal
estate being one of the principal sources of rev
enue, so large an under-valuation does great
injustice-to the other.interests Subject to State.
tax. To be just, all taxes should bear equally,
upon all-interests, ia-proportion to their, ability
to pay.
In order to equalize taxation, the Legisla-
ture, has provided that real and personal estate
should pay a certain amount on the dollar.;
corporation stock another amount; dividends
still another rate, and so with all the interests
taxable ; varying the rate because sonic objects
of taxation could bear more and others lees.
To make this tax just, however, it was neces
sary that all the property intended thus to be
taxed should be reached. To accomplish this,
the law provides, in the case of corporations,
that returns should be made under oath,
stating the amount of capital invested and divi
dends declared. Other objects of taxation are
referred to the proper department in the same
•
way.
Such are the checks held by the law over all
objects of taxation accounting directly to the
State Departments, that few; if any of them,
escape taxation on their fulevalue.
To "ascertain the fair and justvalue of other
property made taxable," the Board referred to
was appointed. By reporting, as at their latit
meeting, but fifty cents on the dollar, it is evi
dent that the class of property submitted to
them for valuation, bears but half the tax
which the Legislature,"in its distribution of
burdens, intended it should assume. Of this
great inequality other interests have aright to
complain. One-sixth of the tai on real and
personal property, as originally imposed, has
already been removed. I would not, with the
present under-valuation, recommend any fur
ther reduction of the two and a half mill tax.
This tax, compared with that borne by. some
other interests, is very light indeed.
As an illustration, the banking capital of this
State is some twenty-five and a half millions of
dollars. This, as already stated, paid into the
State Treasury, during the last fiscal year, over
three hundred and thirty thousand• dollars tax
(338,000.)
The same amount of capital invested in real
and personal estate, at the present average rate
of valuation, would pay but little over twenty
eight thousand dollars tax, after deducting the
expenses of collection, and of this small sum
the counties would receive•back, for school and
judiciary purposes, some twenty-seven per cent.
By a late decision of the Supreme Court, coun
ties are held liable for a default on the part of
their treausurer, to pay. over the amount im
posed by the Revenue Board. It would greatly
simplify the accounts in this Department, if the
amount of State taxes assessed was charged di
rectly to the county, less the commissions. As
the law now stands, we haie in some counties
as many as ten accounts open ; nine of them be
ing with defaultirg treasurers, covering a period
of eighteen years, and still separate and addi
tional accounts with many of the counties, di
rectly,
for a deficiency in their assessments.
By the present law, the assessments are
charged to the county treasurer. What he fails
to collect, is credited to him at the end of his'
term and charged to his successor. In some
counties, this outstanding tax has been accu
mulating for years, handed down from trees- '
nxer to treasurer, until it is now more than a
whole year's assessment. Thus, some of the
counties are constantly from one to two years
in default. All this could be avoided, by keep-1
ing the accounts directly, with the counties, andl
requiring the same promptness from them in 'I
the payment of their-dues which is now enforc
ed upon other tax paying interests.
The practical working of our tax laws has
fully demonstrated, that a penalty for non-pay
ment allowed foh payment is much more efficient
in producing promptness, than an abatement al
lowed for payment. Under the former sytems,
less than one thousand dollars remained due
from banks at the close of the fiscal year.
Under the latter, more than half a million due
from counties, remains unpaid.
I would suggest the repeal of the abatement
law, passed 29th April, 1844, and that counties,
for non-payment, be made subject to the same
penalties now imposed on corperations for. simi
lar default About Any- thousand.dollMs.would

be saved annually to the Treasury by such le
gislation, and doubtless more prompt payment
secured.
I repeat my recommendation of last year on
the subject of imposing some adequate penalty
upon county officers, for refusing to snake quar
terly returns of their receipts to this Depart
ment. The requirements of the law on this
subject are much neglected, and su,.h neglect
almost uniformly ends in defalcation.
Annexed are tables exhibiting the detailed
operations of the Treasury for the last fiscal
year, also estimates of the receipts and expen
ditures for the next, which, with the foregoing
statements and suggestions, are respectfully
submitted to your consideration.
