HEAVIER STATE TAXES.

AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS IN ONE YEAR-How
THE VARIOUS COUNTIES SUFFER
IRON TIE, REGULAR CORRESPONDENT CF rHE -RIBUyR
Albany. Oct 1.-THE taxpayers OF the state
are beginning to groan over the large increase IN
State taxes made by the Democratic Governor and
Legislature. The Legislature made aware OF
the fact that even IL 1t kept the appropriations
at level with those OF the preceding year. 1t
would thereby reduce State taxation; since the
States increase from it's indirect taxation laws the
Inheritance Tax and the Corporation Tax had
largely increased, and these additional funds couh
be used to pay good share OF the states piiis
But the Legislature reckless. Composed large
y OF Tammany Hall members accustomed TO the
large appropriations of the New-York City govern
ment. it was in no temper to cut down proposed
State appropriations Instead OF reducing the state
appropriations it largely increased them; so
largely to swallow up the increased receipts
from the indirect taxation laws already men
toned and so. also. to Increase the grand 'ota
of the States expenditures This made II necessary
to increase the State tax-rate from l.S mills to
25S mills In terms of dollars 1t increased the
State taxes from sTS4SS 10 in 1872 to Slofiei9- VI
in lS93-an increase of s2,633.3B y.
Nor did this g. 3i3 % give the full measure OF
the Legislatures extravaganza. Much of 1t was
concealed by the payment of the Legislature APP
preparations with the increased receipts from the
indirect taxation laws. All these laws were intro
duced by Republican members OF the Legislature
and passed by Republican Legislatures. They are
generally known the "Inheritance Tax law
the Law Taxing Corporations for the Privilege
of Organizing" the Law Taxing Foreign BANKERS
and the Corporation Tax Law" In 1892 these laws
put in the State Treasury the sum of $,03o,5i "''
