COItBJW at. lmw run 1 o sou finds objection In that these funds havs to be always on hand while other funds are out of money. ' "A multiplicity of funds." he says, 'is a source of extra work frequently hold ing up money needed for other purposes,' and when disbursed through other chan nels than this office, as other expenses of the stats government, they are not always accounted for." Among his estimates for the expenses of the state government during the com ing two years there appears $10,000 for stats fair premium list, and all the gen eral expenses as provided by law, and he says, "while the estimated amount of revenue required for stats purposes for ths yesr 1101 to be apportioned January next cannot be foretold with any absolute certainty, the probabilities are that It will exceed $1,000,000. due principally to the neceaalty of providing for the remainder of the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Centennial ex- sltion snd to deficiencies in the ap Dprlationa for ths expenses of the asylum and penitentiary, and for public printing for the years 1903 and 1904, and to a smaller amount of receipts from miscellaneous sources." Mr. Dunbar says: "The removal of the mute school from Its present location to the corporate limits of the city has been urged, tha eatlmatad expense of which," tor new bulldinga and furnishings, la 170.000, and it is proposed that the buildings now used by tha school be converted to an institution for ths care of feeble minded children, or a reformatory for female Juvenile offenders." In a discussion of the Eddy corpora tion law which Secretary Dunbar com mends, he suggests a law providing for the dissolution of corporations that havs ceased doing business, by proclamation of the governor. Dunbar commenda the Inheritance tax law, and saya that it la working satis factorily. Of Insurance lawa he says: "I respectfully invite your attention to section S724 of our statutes, which provides that 'All orders or secret' so cieties and other benevolent, fraternal, co-operative societies, associated or In corporated for the sols purpose of mu tual protection and relief of members only, and for the paymsnt of stipulated sums of money to tha families of de ceased members, or for property of Its members only, destroyed by fire, and not for profit, are hereby declared not to be fire or life Insurance companies In the sense and meaning of the Insurance laws of the stats, and ars exempt from the provisions of all insurance lawa' This is a cloak which Is being used to cover impracticable schemes and foist upon our cltlsens fake societies organ ised solely for the benefit and Interest of thoae formulating the plan. Many in quiries are received for information in regard to tha standing of this clasa of companies, which tha department is un able to furnish." Secretary Dunbar renews his recom mendations for the enactment of a fran chise or gross earnings tax on quaal publlc corporations. In this connec tion he says : "A study of the question has led me to the conclusion, however, that ths method adopted by other states requir ing euch companies to pay a tax upon their gross earnings, tha same as In surance companies are now required un der our statutes, would bs a much mora simple and batter plan, and more read ily under tood and easily compiled with. "It is proper, also. In this connec tion, that attention should be called to the fact that companies owning and operating dining and buffet cars and steamboats, while engaged in currying passengers within tha state, sell liquor without obtaining a county or state license. As a measure for increasing tha state's revenue. I respectfully sug gest that this matter be Inquired into." Secretary Dunbar recommends many improvements In, and the insurance of the capltol building. Some space Is de voted to the Initiative and referendum and the lawa enacted thereunder, and ha makes some recommendations for slight modifications therein. He also says that all money received from the ale of state property should pass through ths stats treasury. The attention of the legislature Is called to the fact that the law requires that a census be taken in 1 905. and that If the statute referred to is adhered to strictly there will be much information left out of the census that should be gathered for the benefit of the state. Mr. Dunbar recommends that the secretary be relieved from duty In some of tha varloua state boarda which he is SANTA CLAUS IS HERE In all his glory.
