The Republican journal., 1899-01-12
The receipts from all


penditures for the same period, includ-
! ing $1O0, 900 paid in reduction of the pub
| lie debt, have been 3d. 452. S1e.S3. At the
| close of the year 1896 there was in the
| state treasury the sum of S203, SOC. IS. A
! the close of the year 1898 there was in the
| state treasury the sum of $154, 1878.
| The amount received from state tax
! for the years 1897 and 1898 was 81. 662.-
3S65S. The amount received from saw
/ ings banks during those two years was
/ $115,S15S6 one-half of which was re
! funded to the cities and towns of the
/ state for school purposes. The amount
! received from railroads during those two
! years was 1928 0S1 46. The amount re-
! funded to the various cities and towns of
the tax received from railroads, under
| the law. was $126, 0.5S. The amount
paid out and expended during the years
! 1897 and 1898 in excess of receipts, eX-
! cept loans. was S19S, l16.S5.
The balance which is found in the
| treasury at the end of the year is soon
/ dissipated and is rather fictitious than
| real, as Immediately after nearly all of
| it is due to the various towns on ac-
| count of the school fund.
These statements of receipts and eX
| penditures contain none of the liabilities
| incurred or money used in equipping
| the troops called for to fill the quotas of
| the state in the recent war with Spain.
| Not one cent has been taken from the
| treasury for military purposes during
! these years except the usual appropria-
| ton for the National Guard in time of
/ peace.
There are, therefore, considerable sums
due which should be provided for and
| paid The railroads have willingly fur
! niShed all the tlanSpOrta ton asked for,
and have not yet received any pay. This.
l think is one of the largest claims to
| be provided for and should be paid at
an early day There are other and press
| ing bills which I know it will be your
| pleasure TO take measures to meet
Yet [ am confident that when the final
| balances are struck, and when the state
/ shall have received from the general
| government the amount that is actually
/ DE us, of which the accounting officers
! nave already certified as correct, $751;
5000, and there is some $4,000 more not
i certified as it has not been presented yet,
! it will be found that we have not in
/ CURED any very large debt over and
/ above the sum that is due US. But the
| states creditors should not wait longer.
| In the meantime until the United States
! government shall pay, the state should
! settle all its debts that are just and due
! which it can do with small temporary
/ or permanent loan for war purposes. I
! have not ascertained the exact amount
/ of outstanding bills that need TO he cared
! for; that will be presented before the
( proper committee.
Neither the appropriations for war
| purposes or amy other have been over
! drawn during he past TWO years, or APP
Piled to amy other objects than that for
