Since the commencement Of the war, the
state has paid on its bonded and floating debt
So, 953 1884 mot including the amount of di-
rect tax paid to the federal government, which
was 1914 568.63. The total present amount
of the bonded debt of tho state is S7.527,-
TAO IS, whloh, it is calculated, the two mill
tax, on the present rate of valuation, together
with the cent. of the gross earnings of the
Illinois Central railway, will entirely extin-
guish or before the FIRST day of January,
1874. sa.-.
But the treasurer recommends an increase
of tho rate of valuation, which OF course will
proportionately increase the amount realized
from the two mill tax, unless the legislature,
in providing for such increase, shall reduce
that tax. With q debt of only seven and q
half millions, the burden of which 10 rapidly
lessening as the population and material
wealth OF the state are increasing, it would
appear to be most uhwise, not to say absurd
for the people to burden themselves with adj
ditioual taxes merely for the sake of extin-
gushing that debt in period of less than
seven years. If she revenue fund must be
increased, considerations of economy would
dictsss that the revenue to the state debt
fund should be diminished, in order that the
aggregate burden of taxation may not be aug
nensed. There is, indeed, no sufficient Yea-
son why. under proper system of equaliza-
ton, 1t may not be diminished.
In view of the inequality of the burden of
taxation resting on the people in different
parts of the state, resulting from variation in
the estimates of the value of real and per
sonal property by assessors, the tfeasurerre-
wives the recommendation. already made, for
the creation of Board of Equalization of As
sessments, whose duty 10 sh.n ~ nsty tn
emit counties, but also, to so increase or de-
crease the valuation that the present rate of
taxation will meet ell the current ex penses of
hesitate government.
