Governor Slaten’s fiscal program strengthens state finances
The 1914 legislative session, led by Governor Slaten, adopted measures curbing extravagant appropriations and enacting tax reforms. A doubled corporation tax, inheritance tax, permanent registration, a blue-sky law, and business honesty measures were approved while keeping budgets tight. The governor avoided new spending, insisting funds be provided beforehand, and led the legislature toward his fiscal stance, predicting a revenue rise and a healthier treasury.
