TEN Dec 9At tho opening of thotoday Oov Ludlows message wits

read After reviewing the finances of the Stat-en detail the Governor shows that the dis-

bursement¬

of the pat year exceeded the re-

ceipts¬

In the sum of t28077628 This excel1Amet by diminishing tho bunk balance In

4 the sum of 13077828 and by borrowing 250I 1 000 The total disbursement Including the

balance at the close of tho year amounted t1191079986 Oov Ludlow then considersquestion how can the receipts of the Stnte bIncreased without a direct tax upon propertytow otherwise taxed and how can tho ex-

penditures¬

bbrought within the limit ofthe receipt He Bars the amount derivedfrom the tax on cforaton can bo verymaterially A legislative de-

finition¬

of true value awill compel It tobestimated at the worth of the property tocompany using It by closer Inspection of re-

turns¬

and so on The receipt from tbu Stateprison ho says should notbo loss than 175000and may be Increased t190000 by tho erectionof another shop The amount received fromjudicial foe la lend than should be The State

1 officers make prompt returns but some of thecounty officers do not The same Is trueof fines and forfeited recognizances In addi-

tion¬

he says the State should receive a reve-

nue¬

from corporations other than railroadswhich now pay and banks which OWl their ex-

istence¬

the national Government The ap-

plication¬tof the principle that luccorpora-

tions¬

t should be taxed he says been de ¬

tarred only through tear that capital thustaxed would avoid the State and seek Invest-ment

¬

elsewhere That danger has been re-

moved by the action of New York and Pennsyl-vania

¬

In taxing corporations In New Jersey-ho thinks such a tax ought to produce 1100a yonr making the total resource of

1000000 which he thinks should bampleto cover Its expensesI A large portion of the message relates to thesubject of railroad taxation The fact that thetaxes derived from railroad corporations con-

stitute¬

almost the entire ordinary revenue ofthe Slate shows the Importance of this ques-tionV After describing the laws under whicml road companies are now taxedBtntc and municipal purposes In New Jerseythe Governor procedl to review their practi-cal

¬

operation says that the rateat which railroad property Is taxed as com-pared

¬

with the rate of taxation on theproperty of Individuals IIs very small the pres-ent

¬

rate having been established by the char-ter

¬

of the companleslmany years ago when theuccess of railroad enterprises was tie subject

ot much doubt und uncertainty and whena morn equal comparison with that of thebreon Individuals While the latter haIn-

creased¬

very materially the former re-

mained¬

The Governor Invites the Legislature to conI

alder why the Increase of assessed value hasnot boon greater and how It con be brought upto a sum commensurate with the surroundingcircumstances and adds

One reason for the failure to increase Ile found In tho-

rrestricted Interpretation which has beet l ut upon thewordi value and that by It the legllailvI Intentbaa been reduced to the rrowllhnlAnother leI that two lar by the contractI their charter and upplemnlry legislation do not
