Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public Papers of Grover Cleveland: Governor; 1883 The only change in the funded indebtedness of the State during the last fiscal year was a contribution of $309,717.00 to the Sinking Fund, thus reducing by that sum the debt remaining unprovided for on the 30th day of September, 1881. The aggregate receipts of the State Treasury during the last fiscal year, including a balance from the previous year amounting to $5,531,858.71, were $17,735,761.59; the payments during the same period amounted to $13,898,198.21, leaving a balance in the treasury at the beginning of the current fiscal year of $3,837,563.38. The amount received from taxes on corporations during the last year was $1,539,684.27, being an increase of $446,959.11 over the previous year. This it is estimated, will yield on the present valuation of property a revenue of $6,820,022.29. The imperfection of our laws touching the matter of taxation, or the faulty execution of existing statutes on the subject, is glaringly apparent. The power of the State to exact from the citizen a part of his earnings and income for the support of the Government, it is obvious should be exercised with absolute fairness and justice. When it is not so exercised, the people are oppressed. This furnishes the highest and the best reason why laws should be enacted and executed which will subject all property, as all alike need the protection of the State, to an equal share in the burdens of taxation, by means of which the Government is maintained.
