In addition to the liabilities already
heretofore been made, there is also the
additional liability for current expendi-
lures yet to be made for the remainder
of the biennial period for which the
last legislature made appropriations.
and which can be Appropriated by as
pertaining the total unexpended bal
anccs as shown by the report of the
state auditor. These will have to be met
from the uncoilected taxes above men
toned.
In considering the uncollected taxes
it is to he borne in mind that a very
considerable part will probably never
be paid into the state treasury. While
these conditions are not what we would
like to have them, and realizing that
they have been brought about by ex-
travagance and needless expenditures,
and by excessive appropriations cover
apparent that the indebtedness of the
state OF Nebraska is comparatively
light. 1t is no greater than that of
many other states whose opportunities
for creating large bonded indebted
ness are not restricted by the funda-
mental law as ours. 1t is interesting in
this connection to study the grand as
sessment roll Of the property of the
state returned for taxation, showing the
total assessed value thereof, for several
years, as follows:
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1897-01-09
years, as follows:

The census of 1890 discloses that the
value of the property of the citizens OF
this state is estimated to be 81 ,275, 6S5. 514
and the actual value of the assessible
property in the state at this time must
be considerably more, and yet, as shown
by the assessed valuation is placed at
but little over one-eighth of the actual
value based on the census returns of
1890
The large amount accumulated in the
general fund mentioned above. $685.
1908. is one of the features seemingly
calling for some comment. 1t is difficult
to understand why this large sum
should be allowed to accumulate in the
state treasury with so great amount of
outstanding warrants unsatisfied. 1t
would naturally be expected that such
a considerable sum as this should have
been applied to the reduction of the
states Indebtedness as rapidly as it
accumulated, as is provided by law,
and demand in the exercise of prudent
business management in the discharge
of a public duty. In defining the du-
ties of the state treasurer. the law pro-
vides that he is Ito disburse the public
moneys upon warrants drawn upon the
state treasury according to law and not
otherwise" 1t is also provided in sec
ton /, of chapter SO, that '.all warrants
upon the state shall be paid in the
order of their presentation therefor"
Section provides that 1t shall be the
duty of every treasurer to put aside in
a separate and sealed package the mon
ey for the payment of each registered
warrant, in the order of its registration.
AS soon as money sufficient for the
payment of such warrant is received to
the credit of the particular fund upon
which the same is drawn, such package
shall be endorsed with the plumber and
description of such warrant, and the
name and address of the person in
whose name the same is registered. and
interest upon such warrant shall there
upon cease. and such treasurer shall by
mail Immediately notify the person in
whose name the same is registered and
shall endorse the date of the mailing
of such notice upon such sealed pack
age
Thus. il will he observed. that il was
the intention of the legislature that no
fund should be allowed to accumulate
when there We're outstanding warrants
drawn against such fund. and that as
soon as sufficient money should be paid
into the state treasury to satisfy each
warrant in the order of its registration
that interest thereon should cease and
the state be thus relieved from further
liability on account of accruing interest.
While it may be said that literal COM
pliarce with the provisions above men
toned would be very difficult because
of the great volume of business carried
on in connection with the work of the
state treasury. yet its spirit could be
fully complied with by making prompt
payments on general fund warrants
as rapidly as funds accumulated in the
state treasury therefor. This act of
the legislature. both in letter and spir-
1t, seems to have been entirely ignored
and the genera fund. against which a
large amount of outstanding warrants
has always existed, allowed to accumu-
late to the extraordinary amount OF
over half a pniIl;o-, IollorS Tbi. p,a,bo1

Revenue Laws.

1t seems imperative that some action
should be taken by the legislature pro-
vidiDg for a better method Of levying
ard collecting the revenues necessary
for the proper conduct of the govern
mental affairs of the state. The imper-
fections and laxity of the provisions OF
the present law for levying and collect
Ing taxes to meet current expenditures.
and the still greater ,axity in enforcing
these imperfect provisions of law. have
brought us face to face with a condition
OF affairs that renders il impossible TO
conduct the business of the state with
out much embarrassment, needless sac
rifices and ever-increasing floating in
debtedness. Any wise financial policy
