The Legislature and the public, cannot fail
to perceive, that The chief reliance OF the com
mittee for the means Of meeting our engage
ments TO the public creditor, is founded upon
the system of taxation direct, and indirect,
established by the last and preceding Lcgis

full justice to the subject, and would expose
themselves, as they think, to the imputation oil

they leave it TO be inferred that we may not,
with reasonable degree of confidence, rely
upon assistance from other sources.
The State it is well known, has invested
large sums Of money in various companies,
chartered for the constguction Of roads and
canals.
In the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany, she owns Independently Of the three
million, two hundred thousand dollars already
spoken of, stock to the amount Of one mil
lion and fifty thousand dollars upon which
there was paid into the treasury last year for
dividends and the States one fifth Of ,he pas
sage money S9G,G99 AS, being upwards of
eight per cent. on the inves meDt.
The State also holds the bonds o.. the Sus-
quehanna and Tide Water Canal Companies
for 81, l92, 500 90, upon which there was re-
ceived last year for interest, the sum Of a.
500; and she holds more over the bonds of the
Baltimore and SusquehanDa Rail Road Com
pany for $l,8S4,045 90, upon which there
was paid last year for interest $40, 900 10.
In addition TO these stocks and bonds, more
or less productive, the State is the owner Of
bank stocks to the amount Of S5l0 ,966 &c,

Independently of the sum which remained
in the Treasury on the lst of December 1915,
which deducting therefrom, the amount due to
the Tobacco and other funds, was $l5s,257
Should the measures proposed at the present
session for the augmentation of the revenue be
adopted, the committee think, that the total
receipts into the Treasury for succeeding years,
will not fall short of $9s0,o00
And if SO, the annual surplus, after paying
the interest upon the present funded debt, and
the expenses of the government, will be near
ly one hundred thousand dollars.

This estimate is founded upon the report of
the Treasurer to the present Legislature, and
may it is believed, be confidently relied upon,
not only for the present, but for succeeding
years, upon the supposition even, that no mea-
sures to reduce the public expenses are adopt
ed.
The following estimate of the receipts for
the present year, is submitted, based upon the
experience of the past, and upon the existing
revenue laws
