inancial officers OF the State great concern,
and they were hopeful that some means
might he devised whereby the Legislature,
n called together, could check II not extir-
pste H.. The influx OF these "cit- worms Of
the treasury" during the past year was un.
precedentedly great. and the fear IL entertain
90 that they may be used almost entirely In
the payment Of the license-taxes THIS year.
The statement sent to the State Committee
Thursday night showed that during 1898
there we're redeemed over the counter OF the
State Treasurer's Office $685. OF coupons,
or 40 per cent. o. all OF the coupons used
since the passage In 1882 OF the Riddleber-
ger bill. Something over 80 per cent. Of this
amount, however, should be charged
10 former years, as the coupons
were rendered In eases which were only de-
tefmined after protracted litigation This
saule condition oi affairs. though, will exist
this year and during the future in perhaps
an increased measure unless there is some
more stringent legislation TO deter Taxpayers
from the use oi coupons. The increase has
been chiefly due 10 the quantity OF license
taxes paid in coupons last year. In the
spring OF 1887, when the local,OptiOn ques.
ton was being agilaled oil over the state,
very few coupons were rendered for license
taxes. Many Of the hquor-dealers yOlun-
taf.ly resolved 20 pGY their taxes in
money. The consequence was that when
the Legislature met here in the win
ter OF 1887 the "cOupOn-crusher,"
which has worked very satisfactorily with
regard TO the property taxes, was passed.
but II was not deemed necessary 20 provide
sgainst the license-tax after the record OF
that year. The result speaks for Itself. A
bill was introduced at that session which
many think would in measure meet the
present needs, the gist Of which was that all
persons engaged In business should have
their license framed and exhibited conspicu.
ously (ou their iroQt doors, for iDstance), and
that the treasnrers IN filing out licenses
should certify on tnelr face whether they
were paid for in money or in coupons.
