Matters Called to the Attention Of the New
jersey legislature

'fiHtN legislature.
TRrNToN, n. j.. Jan. u. in his message 10
the Legislature Governor Albeit SAYS. The
financial condition Of the State was never
better. For the first time since 1895 che
fiscal year has closed without any floating
doDt. Under the liberal laws of the STATE
many new corporations have been created
largely increasing the receipts fr IN fees for
ming certificates and the amount OF tax pay
able by miscellaneous corporations.
NO new tax has been levied upon any cor
p0ration and the people still continue free
from the imposition Of any direct State tax
for governmental purposes. II the future
needs OF the state require further revenue
tho taxes upon corporations can fairly be in-
creased until they pay equally with indi-
Y0ua.s I'm view Of the excellent condition
OF state affairs do not feel called uDOn TO
ask the Legislature for any additional tax
either corporate OF individual for the ordi-
nary expenses of the State Government.
The commissioners appointed 10 repre-
sent the state 40 the Worlds Fair report that
IN order TO make credtable display they
must have a further appropriation In ad-
qition to tie $4,000 heretofore given them
by the Legislature In tins connection
j call attention 20 the fact that the net
amount Of M neY spent by the State in the tX-
position at Philadelphia was over 80. 900, and
in view Of the greater distance OF Chicago from
this state the expense will naturally he great
er am satisfied that the Exposition will be
a success feel that If New Jersey is To be
represented at all at Chicago every reasonable
step sh. .uld be taken O. make It's exbit and
that of its citizens credtlble % our state.
therefore rec mmend that the Legislature
carefully consider the report of the commits
sion and make such further Appropriation as
they may deem proper"
