CAPITOL CORPORATIONS PAYING I THEIR ANNUAL TAXES Fears of a Diminution in the State's Revenues Have Been Dispersed by Big Payments Made in the Past Few Weeks While there was considerable appre hension in State financial circles a month ago regarding whether the money collected this year would reach , the sum taken in last year, it is now said that the chances of equaling last year's sum are good. At the begin ning of October the treasury was pav ing out at the rate of SIOO,OOO per ! day, and that amount was not being taken in by a long shot. School dis ■ tricts were clamoring for their money, . j but they could not be accommodated ! on the moment, for the reason that the big corporations were holding back pay j ments for some reason. Within the past couple of weeks it is said that the cor porations have been coming to the f tront and iiau iing over their tax on II capital stock, increase of capital, etc.. 1 so that the treasury balances show an ' increase. This morning the Pennsylvania Rail road Company paid in $500,000 of its tax on capital stock, having sent a big check some time ago, and there is more ;to follow. Several other big corpora tions are yet to be heard from, but ■ unless they get busy during November the increase of revenue will not be very much marked over last year, and. ■ lit is possible, that there will not be any increase. The loss of the $1,500,000 1 personal property tax by the State was expected to be made good by the tax on coal, but thus far very little has ; been collected from that source, and the constitutionality of the law is still in dispute in the courts.
