Scope and content:

Chapter 386, Statutes of 1905, provided for the collection of annual license taxes from corporations. Secretary of State C.F. Curry reported that, "The overhauling, indexing, and recording of the records of fifty-five years entailed an enormous amount of work. Upward of 45,000 corporation papers had to be handled in the preparation of this office to collect the license . . . More than 26,000 notices were returned undelivered; 4,500 corporations were exempt, and 12,162 paid the license." Chapter 221, Statutes of 1927, abolished the annual license tax.
