HENRY LAWRENCE MITCHELL, Governor of Florida: SIR-I have the honor of presenting herewith my official report of the transactions of the Treasury Department of the State, for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 1894. FLORIDA'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. My first report from this office, under date of January 1st, 1891, presented an unsatisfactory condition of the State's finances. For the first time in many years she was unable to meet some of her outstanding warrants. In addition to the $100,000 borrowed in 1889, under Legislative authority, the State was due in" the shape of deficiencies and warrants outstanding, issued to educational institutions, about $85,000. She was thus confronted with what might be termed a floating indebtedness of $185,000 with the Treasury depleted of funds applicable to such purposes. The necessities of the State were so urgent that the Leg- islature of 1891. authorized the borrowing of an additional $100,000 to meet past deficiencies and outstanding warrants. It required that sum and the ordinary revenue of the year to pay those deficiencies and outstanding warrants, and meet current expenses, including the cost of the Legislature then in session. The succeeding year (1892) witnessed an improvement, not ithstanding the reduction by the Legislature of 1891 of one-quarter mill from the State tax proper; and when the Legislature of 1893 met, there were no deficiencies and no outstanding warrants that the Treasurer could not pay on demand. This improvement was so continuous and steady, being greatly stimulated by the financial legislation of 1893, that it 4 was never necessary to exercise the authority given by that Legislature to again borrow funds to meet the current appro- priations and interest upon the State debt. Indeed, the Legis- lature of 1893 was so beneficial from a financial standpoint that the expenses not only ceased to overrun the State's in- come, but left a healthy surplus in the treasury. This improvement can be well illustrated by a comparison of the amount of cash to the credit of the "General Revenue" in the respective years covered by this short resume of our recent financial condition. There stood to the credit of the "General Revenue" as shown by reports from this office : On December 31, 1890.................$ 8,123 01 On December 31, 1891...... ........... 16,543 91 On December 31, 1892................... 24,283 11 On December 31, 1893 ................... 41,130 93 On Dec-mber 31, 1894 ........... ... ..153,924 67 To this last sum must be added $7,118.51, covered into the Treasury on account of the repeal of Chapter 3856. Laws of Florida, creating a Bureau of Immigration, making the total amount to the credit of "general revenue" on December 31st, 1894, $161,043.18. This amount stood to the credit of the "general revenue," notwithstanding the fact that all ex- penses of criminal prosecutions presented up to December '31st, 1894, were duly audited and paid by the State. REDUCTION OF TAXATION. Impressed with the belief that the best financial theory ever advanced, is to spend as little as possible, and that the best tax ever levied is the smallest, I hope the course of the Legislature will be such as to afford positive relief to the people. Owing to the counties assuming.the co'ta and expenses of their own criminal prosecutions,, one mill will of course be taken from the State tax proper,. as about one mill was the levy considered necessary to meet those expenses during the present year. As witnesses for the prosecution are no longer paid by the State (Jurors and Witnesses before the Grand Jury being alone payable from the State Treasury), an additional reduc- tipn of, one-fourth of a mill can be safely made, making the total reduction of one and a quarter mills, or about $125,000, annually. This will leave.the State tax proper, three mills. These reductions are of course recommended upon the sup- position that the revenue from the present License Laws will not be materially altered, and that the Legislative appropria- tions will be strictly confined to the estimated needs of the State. A deaf ear should be turned to every effort to increase the estimated appropriations. As to extraneous expenditures, (except a moderate sum to advertise the State's resources at Atlanta), no persuasion or pressure should induce favorable -action. The fact that the State still owes one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in New Yoik, which should be met on the 17th of July of the present year, is of itself a conclusive reason why the Legislature should exercise the most rigid -economy and limit its appropriations to the necessities of the government. Organized special interests will perseveringly press for State aid, b'at it should be remembered that the great body of taxpayers look to the Executive, and to their Representatives, to give them relief. Two years of financial and industrial depression. with the products of our agricultural classes lower than ever known in our history, and the great loss by the extreme temperature of the present winter, should all ad- monish us that the great mass of the people are asking an alleviation of public burthens. All of our taxes, State and county, have been too high. Reduction of taxation is one principle in which the practice always surpasses the theory. It gives relief and contentment to the people. It invites more reasonable returns of property for purposes of taxation. It is the strongest incentive to im- migration that lawmakers can offer. It is the best advertise- ment the State can make. CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. The last Legislature, by a vote of over "three-fifths of all the members elected to each house," passed an amendment to Sec. 9, Article 16 of the Constitution, and the people at the election of the 2d of last October adopted ,the same. The amendment, which now forms a portion of the Constitution, is as follows: Section 9. "In all criminal cases prosecuted in the name of the State when the defendant is insolvent or discharged, the legal costs and expenses, including the fees of officers, shall be paid by the counties where the crime is committed, under such regulations as shall be prescribed by law; and all fines and forfeitures collected under the penal laws of the State shall be paid into the county treasuries of the respect- ive counties as a general county fund to be applied to such legal costs and expenses." By this amendment Florida returned to the system that had always existed in the State from her admission into the Union up to 1887, when the constitution framed by the Con. vention of 1885 went into operation. A system that four- fifths of our sister States adhere to as more equal in its operations, and more conducive to the best interest of their taxpayers. It is not an experiment, but a system endorsed by long usage and confirmed by intelligent experience. It is based upon the principle of local self-government, a principle that is not only the foundation of individual liberty, but in its operations proven to be the most satisfactory and economical. Experience everywhere demonstrates that departments at a distant capital cannot give local accounts originating in the counties that intelligent consideration which can be exer- cised by local authorities, familiar with local affairs, and with the general surroundings bearing upon each particular case. As our Supreme Court has said: "A more economical method is required, whereby the local authorities, composed of persons likely to be familiar with local affairs, may with watchful care, defend and protect their own interests against the fraudulent practices sometime alleged, of imposing upon the auditing officer of the State without the possibility often of his determining upon the justness of claims presented in due form, but which might, without inconvenience, be more thoroughly investigated by persons acquainted with the cir- cumstances and origin of each claim." Upon the other hand, experience equally demonstrates that where accounts have to be audited and paid at a distant capital, local authorities do not as a general rule give them that close investigation which they would if they were to be paid from the local treasury under their control. The duty of paying such accounts alone produces a proper feeling of responsibility in auditing, necessary to a due economy. Such payments at a distant capital has another important bearing. Representatives are more prone to give Legislative sanction to the importunities of interested parties to increase costs and expenses, when the payments are to be thus 'made. This has been evidenced in our own State. After the adoption of the constitution of 1885, placing criminal costs upon the State, th -re was not a Legislature, except the Legislature of 1893, that did not pass bills that increased those costs. Would such have b en the result if the increased expendi- tures had to have come from the county treasuries? Of course there will be. some temporary inconvenience in making the change, as in all great changes of a similar char- acter, but I have never doubted that when once made it will be satisfactory to the taxpaying p ople of the respective counties as well as officials. AN OPPORTUNITY NOW TO RELIEVE THE PEOPLE. Reasoning from the safe basis of experience, the conclu- sions are most satisfactory. They go far beyond the mere change of the channel through which these expenses are liquidated, and bring positive and permanent relief to the tax payers. And was it not necessary ? Every Legislature, after the adoption of the present con- stitution, added to these costs and expenses until 1892 the payments under the two heads of Jurors and Witnesses and Criminal Prosecutions amounted to about $220,000. When we reflect that this was two and a half (2-) mills upon the entire net assessed valuation of the State, for these two sources of expenditure alone, we begin to appreciate the magnitude of this rapidly growing burthen. No other State in the Union was subjected to such a tax rate, for such pur- poses. It was a reflection upon the law abiding character of our people, an increasing drain from the earnings of the tax- payer, and a constant menace to the credit of the State. The Legislature of 1893 fortunately placed a check upon this growing evil, and presented an amendment, which, if fol- lowed with proper legislation, will eradicate the cause. HOW CAN RELIEF BE SECURED? Let us now note the evidence to demonstrate that the counties will not have to levy the one and a quarter mills, which will be taken froin the State tax. Leaving out of pres- ent c Insideration the fact that the large majority of the counties now pay into the treasury more for criminal costs than they receive back, a few considerations will evidence the fact tha, it will not be necessary for any county to make as. large a levy as the State has made for those costs. In the first place, the counties only pay when the defendant is insolvent or discharged. If the defendant is solvent and convicted he is required to pay all costs. There cn be no question of the fact that the State has b en made to pay many cost bills that could have been made out of the defendants, if due diligence had been exercised. County Commissioners having to audit and pay these costs out of the county treasuries for which they are responsible, and being familiar with all the co editions, will naturally re- quire more exhaustive efforts to secure the same from the de- fendants. Officers will soon learn that they must look more to the criminal for their costs and fees, and a vigilance, prompted by self-interest, will naturally largely increase the number that should b3 made to pay the costs incident to their own crimes. The Commissioners should be clothed with authority to utilize the labor of those sentenced to the county jail in'any manner they may deem best to produce a pecuniary return for the expenses of prosecution. With due diligence, and author- ity to utilize the labor of county convicts, there can be no question that County Commissioners will be able to reduce largely the amount of payments from the county treasury. The law should also allow the net proceeds of all convicts sent to the penitentiary, to be divided between the counties, in proportion to the number of convicts from each county. In addition to this, all fines and forfeitures are now re- quired by the amendment to the constitution, to be paid into the county treasuries "to be applied to such legal costs and expenses." The fines and forfeitures have heretofore gone to educational purposes, but the insignificant sums col- lected under these heads in the respective counties, in com- parison with what they should have been, caused many of the foremost and most enthusiastic educators in the State to ad- vocate that all the proceeds collected under the penal laws of the Sta:e be applied to the expenses of said prosecutions. It is the natural and logical method of applying them. The "net proceeds" of fines paid into the school fund dur- ing the last scholastic year amounted to only $9,906.50. Every one who has investigated the question feels that this sum scarcely represents one-fifth of the amount that can be collected from all the fine- imposeil by the various Justi- ces of the Peace and higher courts of the State. There will be the strongest possible incentive for officials to see that such fines are paid into the County Treasury to meet their fees; and the County Commissioners will be more active, and secure monthly reports of all fines imposed, and into whose hands placed for collection. It should soon follow that the few counties now having the largest criminal litigation will be correspondingly reimbursed by the increased revenue from the fines imposed in such litigation. The same results will fl )w from the change requiring For- feitures to be utilized for criminal costs. Officers who have the approval of bail bonds will learn that it is to their interests not to approve b nds unless the penalty can be made on execution against the sureties. As the matter formerly stood, no one seemed interested enough to enforce collections, and it is claimed that there are hundreds of bail bands in various counties that have becn forfeited and no judgments ever rendered. There should also be a more expeditious and better method than the one now in force for estreating and collecting these forfeited b.il bonds. In some of the States a sufficient sum is realized from the fines and forfeitures alone to meet all the expenses of crimi- nal prosecutions, and it is believed that under proper laws and due vigilance on the part of officials it will soon approxi- mate that amount in Florida. The law should provide for a separate and distinct county fund, to be known as the Fine and Forfeiture Find, into which all proceeds applicable to criminal costs should be paid. It should be under the control of the County Commissioners, and it should be made their duty to see that every fine and forfeiture that it was possible to collect, and all the other rev- enues applicable thereto, be paid into such fund to meet crim- inal costs. The payment of such costs should come exclus- ively from this fund, and have no connection with the general revenue fund of the county. After careful investigation, with the experience of other States as a guide, the conclusion is reached that if proper laws a-.d regulations are enacted by the approaching Legisla- ture it will not cost the taxpayers one-half of the amount re- quired when the State made the payments, and at the same time do full justice to all officers. Indeed, there is no valid reason why Florida sh u'd not, at an early day, follow the example of Georgia and Alabama in rendering prosecutions self-sustaining, and entirely relieving taxpayers from the bur- then. REFUNDING TO THE COUNTIES. Had it have been known when the last Legislature was in session, that the amendment to section 9, article 16, of the Constitution, woul l have been adopted by popular vote, the Comptroller, who generally estimates the millage for the State tax proper, would of course have placed the estimate at fully one mill less. The amendment was adopted on the second day of October, 1894, a month before the taxes for that yver were due. The State consequently is collecting that amount of taxes for criminal costs, after said costs were placed upon the counties by constitutional mandate. In view of the facts of the case, and the further potent fact, that the State can legitimately spare the amounts now being collected for criminal costs, both equity and justice demand that said amounts be refunded to the respective counties. The proposition seems to my mind so clear, just, and self- evident, that I cannot doubt but that a bill for the relief of the several counties of the State, having that object in view, will meet the hearty concurrence of the Legislature. The counties will thus be in lunds to mett the demands for criminal costs without any embarrassment, until opportunity is afforded them to make the necessary provision for said costs. EQUALIZATION OF ASSESSMENTS. No question comes to the front with greater regularity to vex lawmakers and officials, than the equalization of assess- ments for purposes of taxation. For the last twenty years Comptroller's reports and Executive messages have'called attention to the inequalities of the assessments in our State. The prominence given to it, however, in recent discussions through the press is a sufficient justification of a more ex- tended and detailed notice. In pursuance of my determination to investigate the laws of most of the States in the Union, bearing upon this subject, tho-e of Massachussetts and Virginia were the first examined. They were two of the oldest States, and if experience was valuable, supposed to have profited by i'. Their Educational Institutions rank with the best, and their representative men are always classed with the most cultured. They represented also the leading characteristics of the two great 'sections of our Union. Surely if perfection was approachable in finan- cial legislation, those two honored commonwealths would at least give affirmative evidence. My investigation of the Massachusetts tax system, was met with the declaration from high authority "'that the system of taxation in use in the State of Massachusetts is a thoroughly indefensible method, when judged on the ground of either political economy or practical results, and there is absolutely no justice in the present form of taxation which arbitrarily taxes one class of property and exempts another." Turning to Virginia, it was' found that Gov. McKinney, in retiring from the governorship in December, 1893, after four years of experience, found the assessments so unequal and so unsatisfactory in that Commonwealth that he felt it his duty to c ill the matter to the attention of the General Assembly in a special message, in'which he rec mmended the creation of a "special tax commission" to take the entire subject under consideration. Experience and education had found no solu. tion for the question in those two States. Investigation demonstrated that the equa;zation of assess- ments was a greatly discussed and much vexed question in nearly all the States. But the want of success of others should not deter us from an earnest and intelligent effort to at least secure some im- provement. The examination of the que-tion presents three separate considerations; First, the equality of assessments in the counties; second, the equality of assessments between the' counties, and then, the consideration of the great inequality between the assessment of real and personal property. EQUALITY OF ASSESSMENTS IN THE COUNTIES. The equality of assessments in the county is the leading factor in the attempted solution. It is the keynote to the situation. Without it success is impossible. How is that to be secured? Our constitution provides for the appointment of assistant assessors of taxes in the respective counties, and our revenue law prescribes their duties. In addition, the Legislature of 1891 required the County Commissioners in each county to appoint "two intelligent and fair-minded freeholders in each precinct" to act with the Assessor, or A-sistant Assessor, in securing a proper valua- tion upon all real property in that precinct. Their valuations were then to be, revised and equalized by the County Com- missioners. Apparently every agency was here provided to secure the objects of the law. The Assessor was to exercise his best judgment in arriving at the "full cash value" of the property. His decision was to be examined and revised by "two intelligent and fairminded freeholders in each precinct." The result of their combined judgment was then to be revised by five gentlemen, appoint- ed by the Governor from among the most intelligent and capable citizens of the county, as County Commissioners. What more ciuld be done? And yet the system was not a success, and in some counties it was claimed that the two intelligent and fair-minded freeholders in each precinct ' placed such different values upon the same grade of prop- erty in adjoining precincts that the inequality was more glaring than ever. The failure to equalize was so manifest that the succeeding Legislature omitted the two freeholders and left valuations to the Assessor, to be revised and equal- ized by the County Commissioners. After an examination of the revenue laws of many States, no better agency was found suggested to equalize values for assessment purposes in the respective counties, than such a board as the five County Commissioners are presumed to be. They are appointed by t:.e Governor, and supposed to be among the most trustworthy and intelligent business men of the county, and it careful and proper selections are made, where can you look for an agency in the county that should be able to secure better results? Yet there are evidences of great inequality in many of the counties. It is to be hoped, therefore, that suggestions from all sources will be re- ceived and well considered by the Legislature, in its efforts to deal with a question that has perplexed mankind ever since "there went out a decree in the days of Claudius Caesar, that all the world should be taxed." It must, however, be remembered that no human agency -can secure equality of assessments to the satisfaction of all. Men's judgments will differ, even when viewing questions from the most disinterested standpoint. EQUALIZATION BETWEEN THE COUNTIES. The desire of localities to avoid the payment of an undue proportion of the State tax, is frequently the cause of a ten- dency to low assessments. But if those assessments in the counties are just and properly equalized, it would be much less difficult for a central or State Board to equalize such values between the counties. Examination shows some twenty-one States of the Union having State Boards for such purposes. The boards are vari- ously designated, but the duties are all practically the same. In some of the States the officials'of the State have to per- form the duties, others having slch boards fill them with citizens disconnected from any of the duties ot State officials. As a rule. their duties are simply to equalize assessments between the counties, taking no c gnizance of any' inequali- ties of valuations in the counties. Some few, however, go to the latter extent. In 'stch cases members of the State board give public notice when they will be in a particular county, and the As-essor arid County Comm'ssioners, (or other county boards of equalizal ion,) are summoned, and questioned under oath as to the equality of asseismenis. Individuals are also invited to appear and point out any known or supposed injustice in the assessments. In the twenty-one States having such boards, the financial officers in twelve state that they are a success, in eight very doubtful, and in one an entire failure. They all agree, how- ever, that it depends largely upon the qualifications of the men placed on said boards. Of these twenty one States having equalizing boards four are classed as Southern The best results are thought by some to be accomplished by having a State convention of assessors to meet th- State board of equalization when the values of reld estate atr being adjusted. Missouri and Indiana particularly seem to have been imbu d with that conviction, and last spring Governor Stone, of Missouri, at the unanimous request of the State Board of Equalization of that State, invited the assessors to meet in convention and co-operate with the board in its work. Of course such a convention of assessors was not ex- pectrd annually, for the valuations fixed upon for real estate were supposed to stand for r number of years. Florida established a State Board of Equalization, on Jan- uary 30, 1871, to be composed of eight members. It was a joint legislative c ,mmittee of three from the Senate and five from the House, appointed by the presiding officers of those two bodies. Its incapacity was stamped upon its surround- ings at its birth, and its short existence ended in a dismal failure. INEQUALITY BETWEEN REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. While inequality of assessments upon visible property is a question of the highest import, the question of subjecting the invisible.property to bear its just proportion of the bnr- thens of government, is equally important, and fully as dif- ficult. It is a question that seems to have defeated the ef- forts of the entire country. The Governor of Virginia, in a message to the Legislature of that Slate under date 4,f December 12, 1893, said: From 1870 to 1880, the census returns show-that the assessed valu- ation of the personal property of the United States decreased one million and a quarter, and from 1880 to 1890 the decrease was even greater; the real estate increasing during the same period more than five billions, while the fact is conceded that the value ot r,.l estate and personal property increase, as a rule, pari passee." If such be the case one would suppose from the decrease in the. value of personal property, that the country was rapidly rushing.to bankruptcy. The mere statement of the facts carries the conviction that thevast wealth.of their country, embraced in credits, bonds, mortgages, stocks aid other invisible property, is not rep- resented on the tax books,' and does not bear its just propor- tion of the burtlens of _,oyernmnt-t. Florida unfortunately is no exception to the rule. In 188. the assessed value of personal property in this State amounted to $19,357,499. In 1894, seven years thereafter, it had de- clited to 4$17,484,969. Can anyone believe that the personal wealth of Florida, including the invisible property alluded to above, decreased $1,872,530 in the la-it sevciI y,.ar', and hiat, too, in view of the fact that $869,435 in the shape of bank stock was added to the personal assessment for the first time the. past year ? If so, his credulity should at once secure for him a guardian. It is estimated by those best informed upon the subject that the personal property of a Commonwe ilth, including of course credits, bonds, mortgages, stocks, etc., is about equal to the value of its real estate. While this proportion may not be observed inan agricultural State like Florida, yet it is doubt- ful if there appears upon her assessment rolls more than one- fourth of the value of her personal property; and three-fourths of that class of property, better able than any other to bear the burthens of taxation, escape entirely. The numerous remedies that have been suggested for in- equality of assessments but emphasize the difficulties sur- rounding this greatly discussed question. Aside from the State boards of equalization, numerous other suggestions have been made. Some suggest that the State secure its entire revenue from personal property, or a license and in, come tax, leaving the real estate for county taxation, that the State may avoid the difficult and delicate question of equalizing its value in and between the counties. Other suggestions are for the counties to be ,assessed ac- cording to wealth or population, such sums as may in the ag- gregate be necessary for the support of the State govern- ment, thus leaving it to the counties to make their own equalization. A few of these suggestions are merely re- peated to show) the vexed nature of the question, as they are open to very cogent criticism. Certainty, equality and productiveness are the chief essen- tials of a good tax law; they are the canons and best embodi- ment of financial wisdom, as approved by the most eminent economists. Many of thesenumerous financial suggestions jeopardize these maxims, and the law making powers should weigh well all proposed reforms, for it is not every change that procures improvement. The equalization of values is of the highest importance to the end that all may contribute equally to the support of government, and we all should desire that equality upon the constitutional Basis. ofthe 'just valUation-of all property both real and personal" Ta simply raise the value, however, of real estate and visible personal property without a just equalizatidh and leave still untouched the vast millions of in- visible property, that can best contribute to the government which gives it security and protection, will increase rather than alleviate present complaints. My efforts have been simply to present some salient facts gathered from the laws, etc., of other States, not pretending to give positive remedies for difficulties that have baffled statesmanship for centuries. Copies of the laws creating boards of equalization in the several States have been se- cured, which will be at the service of the appropriate com- mittees, with such suggestions as shall be deemed beneficial. At the same time some needed changes of a minor nature in our revenue laws will be presented. BANK TAXATION. Chapter 4117, Laws of Florida, provides for the assess- ment and collection of taxes on bank stock. Under it, all shares of stock in banks incorporated and existing under the laws of the United States, or of this State, have to be as- sessed for taxation. Paragraph 12, section 9, of Chapter 4115, Laws of Florida, requires all banks to pay a license tax, graded according to the amount of capital stock. The United States courts have held that States could not collect a license tax from a na- tional bank, and confines her powers of taxation to the capi- tal stock pf such banks. The State banks, however, under our laws, are subject to boih the license tax and the tax on capital stock. This is manifestly unjust, and it is respectfully submitted that banks coming under the provisions of Chapter 4117, and taxed on their capital stock, should not be required to pay a license tax also. The year just closed is the first that bank stocks were ever assessed, and the tax made payable by the banks. There should not be the great inequality in the assessments of this class of property as it appears on the assessment rolls of the respective counties. TAXATION. In his "Constitutional Law of the United States," Dr. H. von Hoist says: "The ideal of tax legislation in all modern civilized States, must be to have each individual bear the public burthens in the exact proportion that his ability to pay taxes bears to the tax paying ability of the entire pop- ulation. The realization of this ideal is impossible. It can be approached only by combining different taxes in such a way as to make their defects balance each other." The most satisfactory legislation looks to securing rev- enue from those sources best able to bear it, and in some of the States, notably Delaware and Pennsylvania, it has pro- gressed so far as to eliminate all taxes for State purposes from real estate. While Florida cannot advance very rapidly in that direction, she should at least take every step forward that her conditions will permit. The legislation of the last session, taxing the stock of national banks, increasing the revenue from insurance com- panies, securing 'ome interest from the idle moneys in the State Treasury, taxing sleeping cars a small per cent. of their incomes derived from business in the State, was all in the direction of securing revenue from more fruitful sources, to the end that the burthen might be better equaliz d, and ulti- mately greatly lowered, upon all classes of property. This report only shows the income from some of those sources for the last five months of 1893. The increase due for 1894, being payable in January of this year, will appear in the next annual report from this office. Let us hope that future Legis- latures will rep rt progress in similar directions. TAX ON LITIGANTS. The last Legislature provided for the payment of one dollar before docketing any suit in civil actions in any courts of the State, other than Justices of the Peace. Those who have investigated the question contend that a very small percentage of the people ever have any need of' civil suits in our higher courts, but are annually compelled to p:ay taxes for the payment of jurors and court expenses for the benefit of the few, miny of whom from disposition and habit become chronic litigants. Several States, acting upon this theory, placed a small tax; sometimes a percentage on the amount for which judgment is - given, sometimes a jury tax in such civil suits, and a con- siderable revenue is derived from those sources. In this connection it is proper to suggest that ad the clerk of the Circuit court collects the $1.00 now charged for docketingg civil cases in his court, he should be allowed a per- centage for the amount collected.: If the theory is carried further, and a percentage on the amount'of the judgment *is. required,,or a juiy tax allowed to be collected by the clerk,' there is every reason why he should receive a compensating percentage. .COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX. Many of the States collect a revenue from a tax on collat- eral inheritance, Not to lay a burthen upon the 'immediate succession, as descent of property from husband to wife, wife to husband, parent to child, or child to parent; but only on such property as through the protection of the statute comes into the possession of persons or corporations who have no such direct claims upon those from whom it is derived. When property passes to a new owner who has not such direct claim to it, there can be no reasonable objection to its paying a tax to the State whose laws allow and protect it. It is a tax that. is rapidly growing in favor with lawmakers, and while the amount derived in this State might possibly be small for years to come, yet it would be in the direction of advanced financial thought, and tending to the reduction of the tax rate. SPECIAL LEGISLATION. In some of the States a tax or fee is charged for special or private legislation. And why not? Our Legislature costs the taxpayers between eleven and twelve hundred dollars per day, and why should the time be spent in considering acts for special or private purposes, when the public needs require constant consideration? If one will take the time to note the number of pages in the published volumes of our laws, devoted to such special legislation, the magnitude of the work will be apparent. We have general laws for such purposes, and if they do not suf- ficiently cover the field, then broaden them, and prevent the Legislative journals from being encumbered with the con- sideration of private and special bills, to the delay and det- riment of the public demands. The tax or fee should be paid before the measures could be introduced, and be large enough to at least partially com- pensate the State for the time lost, and cost of printing and binding. Such a law would relieve the Legislature, and give abundant time for.the consideration of public business, and with proper general laws, work no hardship to citizens or other individuals. What is the use of general incorporation laws, if public legislation is to be delayed by continuous special applications for charters ? , What necessity for a general banking law, if the law making power is to be constantly appealed to for special and private acts ? To repeat, if the general laws are not sufficient make them so, and let the time of the Legislature be given to public business. If that time is claimed for pri-ate interests, then let such interests contribute to the expense. PENSIONS. The report from this office to the last Legislature gave the expenditure for pensions for the previous year at $36,593.77. Upon this basis there was appropriated $40,- 000.00 per annum for pensions. This amount would have been abundantly sufficient had it not been for the change in the pension law. Chapter 4180, Laws of Florida, greatly broadened the scope of previous legislation, and necessarily increased the expend- itures. The amount due to day (January 1, 1895). for the last quarter of 1894, shows conclusively that it will require $55,000.00 annually to meet the expense of those already on the pension roll. There are now claims before your Excel- lency aggregating $10,000.00 per annum more, with applica- tions constantly coming in. It was thought by some that this last legislation would only add about $5,000.00 to this class of expenditures. Experience, however, is d. monstrat- ing that it will probably require $30,000.00 annually to me t Sthe increase made by the last Legislature, making a total ex- penditure of $70,000.00 per annum for the cost of pensions. As the amount appropriated fr the first -ix months of the present year will be exhausted by payments to be made for the last quarter of 1894, a full annual appropriation will have to be made for 1895, as well as for 1896. DEPOSITING PUBLIC MONEYS. Chapter 4157, Laws of Florida, authorizes the Governor, VTreasurer and Comptroller to deposit the public moneys in those banks in the State offering the best inducements as to interest and security. The revenue derived from that source for the last fiscal year amounted to $2,371.94, more than enough to pay the Treasurer's salary. The law is in conformity with the practice of many other States, and, while bringing in a revenue,'will have a most beneficial effect in eliminating the position of State Treasurer from being a prize to be contested for by moneyed institu- tions. There was a growing feeling with conservative citi- zens, that there existed a strong tendency in that direction in our own State, and we were drifting to a condition when capacity would be a secondary consideration to securing the deposits lor particular interests. When public funds are to be deposited in banks giving the best inducements as to interest and security, it greatly lessens, if it does not destroy, this'prompting motive, as well as furnishing some pecuniary aisislance to the State. To require all the various funds of the State to be kept in the State Treasury, would necessitate an additional expense as well as a discount for collecting warrants in all distant portions of the State, To obviate that expense as well as the discounts upon educational, as well as other warrants drawn upon the Trea- ury, the public funds have been kept in various banks in different sections of the State. It is thus a convenience to the people, but there is no valid reason why the banks should not furnish security for, and pay interest upon, any surplus they may hold. The law should be more definite in defining what character of securities the banks *shall be required to give, before the Treasurer would be au- thorized to deposit the funds, and also defining the method the Treasurer should pursue in selling such securities in. case of default. CONVENTION BONDS. The Constitutional Convention of 1868 issued $30,000.00 of eight per cent. bonds to defray its expenses, and a special tax was levied to liquidate them. All of said bonds were paid except fifteen, of $100 each, making a total of $1,500.00. Reports from this office again and again referred to the non presentation of these bond, and in 1885 they were dropped from the lists of the State's liabilities, the natural presumption being that they had been destroyed or lost. A few months ago one of these bonds of $100 was presented at this office for settlement, but, there being no appropriation for such a purpose, payment had to be deferred for Legisla- -tive action. It is respectfully suggested that the Legisla. ture authorize the Comptroller to draw his warrant on the Treasurer for the payment of the principal and interest to date of maturity of any of these remaining fifteen convention bonds that may be presented. LICENSE FOR SELLING LIQUORS. The State assumes to regulate the sale of spirituous, vinous or malt liquors by granting licenses to sell the same under certain restrictions. Those licenses, being expensive, lead to numerous devices to avoid their payment. The trouble is aggravated by the inefficiency of the law to ferret out these devices and the inadequacy of the penalty should a conviction follow. Whan the St .te issues a liquor license, the .holder should be entitled to the same protection 'as those who receive other licenses, and the penalty should be of such magnitude as to deter persons from a violation of the law, Constant complaints are made by persons holding such li- censes, that the law is being violated, and collectors are powerless, under certain conditions,-to procure such evidence as is necessary to secure dbnvictions. In other cases the guilty parties temporarily abandon the business upon the meeting of the Circuit Court, and move to other localities to continue in disregarding the law. Should, however, a con- viction be secured, a small fine is paid, and the business fre- quently continued. The evil should be vigorously dealt with. The scope and power of officials should be sufficiently broadened to enable them to act promptly and efficiently, and the penalty should always carry with it imprisonment, as well as a fine amount- ing to at least as much as the State and county tax. It is not creditable to our laws to have such numerous complaints . of their constant violation. PRINTING DELINQUENT TAX LISTS. Owing to a change in the method of advertising the de- linquent tax lists by Chapter 4111, Laws of Florida, there was no advertisement of such lists in 1891. The Legislature of 1893 going back to the former system of ttx sales, ren- dered it necessary to advertise the delinquent tax lists of 1892 .and 1893, in 1894. This accounts for the unusually large amount of warrants issued under that head during the past year, the advertisement of two years falling in one. INSURANCE LAWS. The development and progress of the business of insurance necessitates a thorough investigation of the laws bearing upon so important a question. Doubts have arisen as to the qualifications of "various companies and associations apply- ing for admission to enter the State. Other associations and companies are transacting business in the State without proper authority. -It is believed that many utterly worthless insurance and investment schemes are operated to defraud the people. The State Treasurer, as Chairman of the Board of Insur- ance Commissioners, will present these matters to your Ex- cellency more in detail, and suggest needed changes in the insurance laws, to the end that no unauthorized company, however sound, can under any circumstances do business in the State, and the people at the same time be protected from insurance and investment schemes organized to swindle. Immense sums of money are drawn annually from our State for the purposes of insurance, and it is unfortunate that we have not home companies to transact the business, and thus retain within our limits those accumulations, to be uti- lized for the development of our varied resources. STATE ATTORNEYS. I see no reason for changing the suggestion made two years ago that State attorneys should be paid a salary com- mensurate with their duties. The more reflection given the subject, the more cogent the reasons appear. The conviction fees should remain as now established by law, but they should be collected and paid over to the County Treasurer to assist the counties in meeting the costs in crim- inal prosecutions. APPROPRIATIONS AND DEIICIENOIES. The estimates for appropriations are carefully calculated, and it is hoped they will not be lowered unless the laws re- quiring the expenditures are changed. If the laws require expenditures, the reduction of appropriations does not lessen the State's obligations, but only creates deficiencies, and there is no economy in having deficiencies, as they have to be met. The increase of inmates in the Asylum, and the expense in- cident to a sewerage system, have produced a shortage in the appropriation for that institution. The employment of stenographers was much greater the past than the previous years, and it will be necessary to ap- propriate $1,100 to cover such employment. No appropria- tion is asked for that purpose beyond the present deficiency, as it is considered that the State is no longer liable for those expenses. It is not deemed necessary, however, to consume the time of the Legislature in passing a deficiency bill for the sums that these two appropriations are left in arrears, but have to the extent necessary added the required amounts to general appropriation estimates for the last six months of the present year. EL/ lTioNS. As it relates to the expenses of government, it is not deemed inappropriate to express the hope that the Legislature will inquire into the necessity of longer continuing the ex- penses incident to the methods of having dual elections bi- ennially. Leaving out all other considerations, it is an addi- tional expense to the people, that in the judgment of many, is no longer necessary. Such a change would of course re- quire an amendment to the constitution. A STATE EXAMINER. Under Section 2191, Revised Statutes, the Comptroller is authorized to appoint a suitable person to make, an exami- nation of the affairs of banking companies. The compensa- tion for such examiner is to be at the rate of five' dollars for each day -employed in such examination and mileage, to be paid by the bank examined, and which may be recovered by suit against the corporation. The number of persons qualified to properly examine a bank is limited, and persons possessing such qualifications, generally have lucrative employment. They will not sur- render even temporarily their permanent business, and ad- vance their own expenses for such compensation, to be se- cured from the bank examined, at the end of a possible law suit. Under Section 414, Revised Statutes, the Governor is au- thorized to designate an agent for any county to examine the accounts, books, etc., of persons authorized to receive public moneys. In interviews. with your Excellency upon the question, the difficulty of securing temporarily the ser- vices of competent agents, has been made manifest. Both laws are greatly weakened if not destroyed in their efficiency by the same cause. Thj most efficient way to meet the trouble is to have a public examiner for the entire State, whose time will be de- yoted exclusively to the work. Such examiner should be ap- pointed for four years, with a salary payable by th State, that will command a qualified person. His duties should embrace the examination of banks, as well as the ace units of all officers, State and county. All banks examined should be required, under penalty that would enforce prompt compli- ance, to pay a sum into the Treasury of the State sufficient, to cover th expenses and per diem of the examiner while e,- gaged insuch investigation. The frequent examination of the accounts of all officers who handle public moneys, would alone secure results that would more than compensate the, State for the'expense. It would properly attest the superior worth of the larg- num- ber of efficient officers in our State, and stimulate others to follow their example. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. Warrants amounting to $31,568.29, hav been issued dur- ing the year on account of expenses of the State Board of Health. The amounts collected at quarantine stations for the last year and held by the Board, will undoubtedly be commu- nicated to your Excellency in the official report of the State Health Officer. At the request of the Board, your Excellency, under date of May 21st, 1894, directed this office to "fix the assessment for expenses of the State Board of Health at one-half mill." The gross levy under such assessment amounted to '$52,130,31, which is now being collected with the other State taxes. TABULATED STATEMENTS.
