ST4TE TiTES.

Governor Odell's object in proposing the re-
neal of the Franchise Tax law is too plain for
anybody TO take seriously the fntemperate at
-acks that have been made upon him because Of
imagined hidden motives. He was justified II
expressing his natural indignation that his sus-
gestions on public affairs calling for consldera-
ton on their merits should be made the occa-
sion for personal vituPeration. On no other
account did he need TO notice such unfair critics
The Governors recommendations are perfect
1y accounted for by his strong desire for in
creased State revenue without recourse 70 di-
rect taxation. That desire is strengthened by
the present situation of the State treasury. Last
year the tax rate was reduced TO purely nonI-
nal Treportons. there being an accumulated sur
plus OF over IS 000000 which made direct taxa
ron temporarily unnecessary There is still
surplus OF 50, 10000. but the estimated expen-
ditures for the coming year are S3,2S0.000 short
Of the estimated indirect revenue and the sur
plus. Therefore il is necessary to raise at least
$1,000 600 if this moderate surplus is to be main
tanned for emergencies and naturally there is
IN the legislature an indisposition, after hav-
ing practically suspended indirect taxation and
gained much applause for it. to return to direct
taxation and levy even a tax rate of one mill
the lowest ever known in the State with the ex-
ception OF last year-which would be sufficient
10 raise the deficit. In the light Of events IL
may seem as If il would have been wiser TO be
content with less swesping reduction of the
direct tax than was made last year, for il gives
even the most moderate future tax the appear
snce OF refrogression. Il unnecessarily forced
the issue Of State taxation methods. Faced
with the necessity of raising money, the Gov
ernor naturally seizes upon such obvious sources
of revenue as property in mortgages and fran
chises.
II is clear that the two propositions for mort
gage taxation and payment Of percentage Of
gross earnings Of corporations must go together
IN the arrangement Of a scheme for indirect
State income and the franchise tax substitute
is, as regards revenue, a minor feature of the
plan. The tax on gross receipts would, accord
ing TO the official estimate, produce only $780,
000 less than oDe-sixth of the new taxes TO be
levied. The stamp tax on transfers proposed
10 eke out the amount required is estimated at
81 100000 and even that notarial certificates
at $4,000 while the mortgage tax, which is
relied on for the bulk of the revenue, is calcu-
lated 70 bring to fhe State s.. 600. II would
seem ss If the revolution in the tax system in-
rolved in departing from a sound and popular
principle of franchise taxation for the benefit OF
the localities whose property is used by cor
porations might be disproportionate to the
financial benefits which would be derived by the
State from substituted tax on gross receipts.

WISE PREPARATIONS.

The railroads and Industrial companies of the
pairing in times of prosperity for the period Of
business depression that is reasonably certain
to follow the present wave of industrial eXpan-
sion II may be asserted in some circles that
hard times will never again develop in this
country but no student of economic laws needs
to be told that in the natural order of things
dull DAYS in the business world will sooner or
later succeed TO the present wonderful activ-
ity There is, however, ample reason for the
prediction that the next period OF commercial
depression will not be accompanied by the
papics and severe losses that marked the in
dustrial collapse of 1898 and several succeeding
yesrs. Proiting by the expensive experience
Of that time, business throughout the country
