ment by the remark that the mere fact Of IN

as a serious indication. Secretary Day dned

something definite the President replied

Albany, Feb Is (speciaD. Black and
the leading Republican members OF the finance
committees Of the Legislature are engaged In q
praiseworthy attempt to reduce the amount Of
the annual appropriations For many years these
appropriations have been increasing in num-
Der. and in their burdensome total. until now
they reach an aggregate OF over 5000 900 an
nua;y. They swallow up all the money re-
ceiYed from indirect taxes and compel the I'M
position OF many millions Of direct taxes.
The large increase in State taxes in recent
years will appear from a brief comparison. In
1919 the State Government was sustained solely
by direct taxes. That year the levy amounted
to only ST.69O il6 -. In 1880 the Legislature.
under Governor Cornelrs administration. ini-
tiated the policy of indirect taxation by passing
the Cooperation Tax law II was then thought
that in few years by the creation Of indirect
taxation laws the expenses Of the State could
be paid ani there would be no necessity OF any
direct taxation for general purposes With the
aim Of carrying out this policy between 1880
and 1890 there were passed the Corporation Tax
law. the Inheritance Tax law. the Corporation
organization Tax law and various other minor
acts.
EASY TO GET AND EASY To SPEND.
.9ut as fast these new sources OF income
were discovered the Legislature invented ways
Of spending the money. Many state oommis-
sions We're created. normal schools We're estab-
lisned. costly buildings to house the INDECENT
insane were put up. and the list OF State chari-
table institutions was largely increased. Thirty
six new State departments and commissions
have been formed since 1850 Last year the
State Treasury had 10 pay out So. Il3 10 for
their support James \. Roberts the state

upon this large increase in the States expenses.

of greater economy. In support Of his recon-
mendation. Mr.. Roberts has just had prepared
the following table showing the aggregate ap-
propriatons made 10y successive Legislatures

Direct taxes IN the last fiscal year put in.o
the State Treasury the sum Of Sllfol.N5' IL
The receipts from direct and indirect taxes thus
amounted TO S2O460 362 ~.
II Is obvious that the indirect taxation sys-

from these laws can he much increased ror
some time Indeed Controller Roberts mas
shown by his efforts 10 extend the list o, cor
porations paying taxes and by his strict en-
fo-cement Of the laws relating 70 the taxauoh

tanned by the state The inheritance tax is

source sank to S1796652 and in 1897 they
were S1S2994l s3.
II the total Of appropriations made by this
Legislature is larger than that 81 last year. Il
is clear from the figures given above that
there must be an increase Of direct taxation.
The Legislature has already had a warning
i'm this respect. For the fiscal year ended on
September 50 1897, the direct taxes amounted
