From the foregoing estimates 1t will be seen that

fiscal year ending October 80, 1870, and TO be ap-
piled TO the payment of the debt then against the

expenses Of the State government At the end Of
the second fiscal year, October, 30, 1871, there
would again be in the treasury So, ,622 to be
applied to the payment of the then debt against the
treasury which would be ample to pay everything,
TO and including part Of the interest on the state
debt OF January, 15T1. At the end OF the third
fiscal year, October 80, 1872, there would again he
50 421 622, which would pay every thing against the
treasury Including the interest Of the State debt
of July 1872 with the exception Of Sl66, asa So
as already shown. But instead OF this balance
against the treasury, October 30, 1872 it Is reason

The Legislature having declared with commend
able zeal and great unanimity against reputation
and the State being abundantly able 10 pay, the
only question about which there should be any diff
ference of opinion is as TO how the payment is to
be made To that end We propose to make few
suggestions: First, then let the pruning knife be
used freely in Topping of items of expenses
against the treasury until the annual expenditures
OF the State shall not amount 20 more than three or
four hundred thousand dollars. Secondly in
crease the State taxes the taxable property Of
the State" to twelve mills in the dollar, leaving
other taxes as they are now
Taking, then, as a basis, the aggregate Of taxable
property, polls, amount paid in by railroads IN
