Foes of Wood and Steel Ships.
In the old days of wooden ships the bor-
ing insects which live in wood were their
chief foes. Teakwood acquired its reputa-
tion as a shipbuilding material because of
its supposed immunity from these vermin,
Steel ships suffer from barnacles, which
foul their hottoms much more rapidly
than they do wooden ones. These strange
marine growths are sometimes as big as
one’s fistand adhere to the metal plates
with tremendous force, and, besides im-
peding the ship themselves, they catch sea
grass and other rubbish and drag it through
the water. When a dry dock is not avail-
able metal ships have to have their bottoms
cleaned by divers.

Wanamaker on Taxation.
Startling Figures Showing the Inequalities of Tax-
ation Under Quay Machine Rule.—The Farmer
and Workingmen Compelled to Pay $2.94, While
the Corporations Pay but One Penny.
Mr. Wanamaker, in a speech delivered
at Huntingdon on Oct. 19, had the fol-
lowing to say upon the subject of tax-
ation:
I have been waiting for an oppor-
tunity like this to say something more
to the farmers and laboring men of
Pennsylvania about taxation.
In my Williams Grove address on
Sept: 1 I declared that the people, and
especially the farmers, were unjustly
taxed. I stated that through legisla-
tion passed by the Quay machine there
was unjust discrimination in favor
of corporations, and that the masses
were forced to bear an unequal bur-
den of state taxation, and I want to
reiterate those statements again to-
night, and to present to you specific
proof of their correctness.
The statements that the farmers paid
too much tax have been challenged in
public speeches by the Republican can-
didate for governor and the Republican
state chairman.
Nominee W. A. Stone, in his Pitts-
burg speech on Sept. 7, in the course of
his reply to assertions made by me,
said: ‘There is not a corporation in
Pennsylvania that ever for one moment
realized that it was the favorite of the
Republican party” (meaning the Quay
machine). Speaking of our tax system
he declared: “This is a great triumph
for the Republican party, and one of
which all Republicans should feel justly
proud;” and, continuing, he said: “It
seems to me that it would be much
easier to prove that farmers, laborers
and mechanics are the favorites of the
Republican party, who have been so
highly favored by its legislation.”
At Hollidaysburg on Sept. 15 Candi-
date Stone is again quoted as saying
that “The people are not taxed, and
not one foot of your land (meaning
the people) pays one cent of tax; we
have taken the tax off the lands and
put it on corporations.”
ELKIN QUOTED.
Republican Chairman Elkin, at Car-
lisle on Aug. 31, said: “We (meaning
the Quay machine) have taken taxes
off the lands, occupations, trades and
all personal property, except money at
interest.” At Pittsburg on Sept. 7 he
again declared that ‘the purpose and
policy of the Republican party (mean-
ing the Quay machine) has been to re-
obtain some franchise from the state,
have reason to feel proud of our rec-
ord.”
I am facing an audience composed
largely of farmers. Before me are men
who gain their livelihood by the ‘tilling
and handling of land.
-by the corporations, one-half billion
EN TE
taxes. But, by the statement or ex- |
Auditor General Niles, in Pennsylva-
nia, through discriminating legislation
Passed by the machine, and purchased
dollars’ worth of corporate property es-
capes all taxation. The fairest way to |
show: the difference in taxation of
steam railroads between Pennsylvania
and "New York is to take the trunk
lines and lateral railroads that lead out
of Pennsylvania into New York, and
compare the taxes they are compelled |
to pay in each state.
The Northern Central railroad, from
Williamsport to the New York state
line, near Elmira, a distance of 70 miles,
does not pay one cent of taxes upon
its roadbed and other real estate used
in the exercise of its franchise in the
Pennsylvania counties of Lycoming,
Tioga and Bradford, reprcsenting a
value of $2,000,000. But when it reaches
the township of Southport, Chemung
county, New York, it contributes in
taxes to that township $372.40. Passing
through the corner of Southport,
through the city of Elmira, into the
township of Horseheads, it pays to that
township $637.52. It touches the corner
of Catlin and pays $36.64, and enters the
township of Veteran, in the same coun-
ty, and pays to the township treasury
$1,038.80. Then it passes through the
counties of Schuyler, Yatcs and On-
tario on to Niagara Falls, paying at
the same rate in all counties named.
Then again take the Lehigh Valley
railroad, which does not pay one cent
of tax on its roadbed and other real
estate for local purposes from the Del-
|
|
aware river at Easton through the
counties of Northampton, Lehigh, Car-
bon, Luzerne, Wyoming and Bradford. !
‘When it reaches the township of Van
Etten, in the state of New York, it
contributes $1,902.33 to that township
treasury. :
ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION.
Then take the Delaware and Lacka-
wanna railroad, which contributes noth-
ing to the local treasuries in Pennsyl-
vania. When it reaches the township
of Ashland, New York, only touching
one corner, it contributes $225.60 toward
township taxes. To the township of
Elmira it pays $425.82, to the city of
Elmira $1,199.70, to Horseheads $926.06,
to Big Flats $1,157.20, and so on to
every township it passes through.
Then take the Tioga branch of the
Erie railroad, which runs through Tio-
Ba county, Pennsylvania, and does not |
pay one dollar on its 50 miles of road- |
bed in that county. When it reaches |
Southport, in the state of New York,
on a valuation of $63,000 it pays to the |
township treasury $441.
Then the Fall Brook railroad and |
leased lines, which pay nothing on
their roadbed in the state of Pennsyl-
vania, the moment it reaches the town-
ship of Lindley, in New York state, |
, contributes $1,500 to the local treasury
move the burden of taxation from the !
people and place it upon those who |
of that township.
It should be remembered that in New |
A . York all these railroads, in addition to
and we (meaning the Quay machine) !
the local taxes specified, pay also a |
| state tax for the general purposes of |
among you all who does not know that !
the statements of Candidate Stone and
Chairman Elkin are false let him stand
up and say so. There may be some
farmers here who on next election day
intend to vote to perpetuate the Quay
machine. To them 1 want to ask if
it is a fact, as Candidate Stone assert-
ed in his Hollidaysburg speech, “that :
you are not taxed and that not one
foot of your land pays one cent of
taxes,” and whether it is true, as Chair-
man Elkin states, that the Quay ma-
chine has taken the taxes off land?
If one single farmer in this audience
' every farmer here know that he pays
will come upon the platform and show i
that his land is not taxed I will agree
to make six speeches a week for the
Quay machine from now until election
time, and if there is one farmer here .
| who owns or works a farm that can- !
not show by his tax receipts that all
these statements are untrue
stand by the same offer.
is one farmer who does not know that
he is unjustly taxed and is paying part
of the corporation’s share I want him
to send me his name and he will be
given proof of his happy ignorance.
I will!
And if there !
The subject of taxation is a vast and
complex question, but there are phases
of it and facts concerning it that can
be reduced to simple, practical and con- i
vincing propositions.
And specifically ;
and with varied figures I want to pre- |
sent some of them to you.
In this argument when I make use or
the word ‘‘corporations” I mean those |
of that class that have the right to con- |
demn and take private property for
their own use, such as steam railroads |
which pay no local taxes _for county,
township, school or road purposes upon
their roadbed and other property used |
in the operation of their franchise. And
also other great combinations of cor-
porate wealth, such as pools and trusts
and companies capitalized at millions,
all of which maintain armies of agents
and lobbyists to invade and surround !
legislative bodies,
state or municipal.
Candidate Stone tells the, farmers of
the state that the corporations pay the
whether national,
entire cost of running the state gov- |
ernment, and also the appropriations
to public schools. This statement is
grossly untrue, as is shown in the last
official record of the state treasurer.
The total receipts of the state treas-
ury for 1897 were $12,475,070.17. Of this |
sum the entlie amount received from
all sources, from all corporations, in-
cluding the thousands of smaller cor- |
porations which we are not considering, |
together with the tax on bank stock,
was only $6,044,131.67, or about 50 per
cent of the cost of running the state
and paying the school appropriations.
This demonstrates Candidate Stone’s
misrepresentation No. 1.
Candidate Stone says that corpora-
tions are taxed higher in Pennsylvania
than they are in other states, This
statement is untrue. For the purpose
{ of proving the falsity of Mr. Stone's
assertion I will compare the tax law
of our state with that of New York.
TAXES IN NEW YORK.
In New York state every dollar of
corporate property is taxed, yet our
own ex-auditor general, Jerome B.
Niles, in a public speech delivere@ In
1893, made the astonishing statement
that there were from $400,000,000 to $600,-
000,000 of railroad property in Pennsyl-
Vania that pays no tax whatever, either
locally or to the state. In Nw York
state the dollar of value is the basis
upon which taxes are levied, real and
bersonal, and no corporation of any
kind can escape paying its share of
| state the corporations are favored to
state government. Yet all the railroads
I have mentioned pay no more or no
less in the state of New York than the |
| farmer, merchant, manufacturer, or the
If there is one |
|
money lender on their doilar. So again
Candidate Stone’s statement that cor- |
porations pay more taxes in Pennsyl- |
vania than in other states is proven |
false. |
This is Candidate Stone’s misrepre- |
sentation number 2.
Again, Candidate Stone asserts that |
the corporations in Pennsylvania pay
their full and equal share of taxes. |
Now, under our state law, they pay
but four mills on the dollar of their cap-
ital stock (not counting the $500,000,000
that escapes altogether); but does not |
from 15 to 25 mills on every dollar of
his capital stock? Is this equal and!
fair taxation? This proves the falsity |
of another of Mr. Stone’s statements.
This is misrepresentation number 3.
FARMERS IN OTHER STATES.
Again, Candidate Stone asserts that
the farmers of Pennsylvania are no
more heavily taxed than those of other
states. Yet the average tax in Penn-
sylvania on your land, for the past ten
years, has been from 15 to 30 mills on
the dollar, while in New York state it
has averaged from three to ten mills
on the dollar, and in some townships
and cities in that state almost the en-
tire local taxes are paid by the corpora-
tions. This proves the falsity of Mr.
Stone’s statements, and is misrepre-
sentation number 4.
I might continue the list of his mis-
representations on this subject almost
indefinitely, but time will not permit.
You farmers who live in interior coun-
ties do not fully understand the way
you are discriminated against, but the
farmers who live along the New York
state line, in the counties of Erie, War-
ren, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Bradford
and Susquehanna realize how the ma-
chine made laws of Pennsylvania take
the burden off of the corporations and
place it upon the backs of the tillers of
the soil.
All along the northern border the
farms in New York state are more val-
uable than those of the same size and
kind in Pennsylvania. A $5,000 farm in
the state of New York is not taxed to
exceed $25, while the aWjoining farm in
Pennsylvania of the same value pays
from $65 to $85. And it is something
New York farmers cannot understand
why railroads in Pennsylvania are not
made to assist in paying local taxes,
and why Pennsylvania farmers support
® political system that compels them to
pay 20 mills on their dollar, while rail-
roads pay only four mills on their prop-
erty. $
Through the machine passed and cor-
poration protecting legislation of our
the extent of millions. annually, which
is paid by the farmer, land owner and
laborer.
The evasions and exemptions allowed
to corporations from the law requiring
them to pay four mills tax on the
dollar are enormous, and I believe that
a thorough and faithful enforcement of
the provisions and even the present un-
just tax law would put millions of
money in the state treasury.
SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES,
For example, the last report of the
secretary of internal affairs, for 1897,
showed the cost of all corporations of
this class (railroads) in Pennsylvania
to be $1,553,072,313. The total cost of
equipments owned by the railroads was
$189,404,266. Stocks and bonds owned
by railroads, $282,655,815; cash and cur-
rent assets, $90,302,269; .other assets,
$200,508,217, making a total of $2,315,942,-
880. Taking this to represent the cash
value of the capital stock of these
roads. and multiplving this sum by
four mills, the rate the law requires,
you have what the great railroad cor-
borations alone should pay into the
| state, amounting to $9,263,761. Yet the
! taxes paid by corporations of all kinds
—big and little—together with the tax
| on gross receipts of corporations, and
' the tax on bank stocks amount to only
: $6,044,131.67, showing a, discrepancy upon
| this too liberal basis of $3,119,631, which
in some manner the corporations are
relieved from paying.
Now, farmers, you ought to ask Can-
didate Stone, who declares that there |
- i8 no discrimination in favor of corpo-
rations, to account for this shortage of
more than $3,000,000.
But the loss of that vast sum of
money is not a commencement of the !
injustice heaped upon the farmers by
the present machine made tax system,
since the same amount of property—
$2,315,941,880, the value of railroad stock
and investment—in the hands of the
farmer is taxed five times as much,
or $46,318,855.
The railroads in this official valua-
tion pay only $5,448,120.47, making a
balance against you under this system
that Mr. Stone calls equitable of $40,-
B70,735.
But experts say that the value of
railroad property in Pennsylvania is
double its assessed valuation, or nearly
$5,000,000,000. If this be true, then the
railroads are paying about one mill
on their dollar, while you farmers are
paying 20 mills on yours.
In Tioga county last spring I was in-
formed that $13,000,000 of farming prop-
erty in that county pays $325,000 an-
nually, while the same amount of rail-
road and mining properties pay less
than $12,000, as shown by the county
treasurer, a discrimination against the
farmer of $313,000.
CORPORATION TAXES.
Scores of like cases can be shown
throughout the state, but time will for-
bid more detail on this particular point.
I want to give you a few examples of ;
how great corporations are protected.
The Philadelphia and Erie railroad,
which cost upward of $40,000,000,through
the kindness of machine legislation, is
not obliged to pay one dollar of tax to
the state on capital stock until the
road shall earn a 6 per cent dividend.
Of course, that time has not and will
never come, as its stock can be water-
ed, salaries increased and expenditures
kept high enough to prevent any such
contingency.
‘Will Candidate Stone show where the
machine made tax system of Pennsyl-
vania, which he declares favors the
farmer, has ever exempted $40,000,000 of
farm lands until the farmers have
made 6 per cent clear, after enjoying
like privileges with the Philadelphia
and Erie railroad, of voting high sal-
aries to their sons and friends and rais-
ing the valuation of their farms as
they see fit?
You farmers who are paying 20 mills
on every dollar of farm lands you have
should ask Candidate Stone to explain
the following figures taken from the
auditor general’s report of 1896. That
report shows that the Philadelphia and
Delaware Connecting railway, costing
$536,566.82, paid into the state treasury
only $35.22 in 1896.
The Kinzua Valley railroad, costing |
$113,450.21, paid $28.12; the Allentown
railroad, costing $1,085,747.94, paid $75.02;
the Baltimore and Harrisburg railroad,
costing $480,000, paid $43.73; the Balti-
more and Philadelphia, costing $9,840,-
000, paid $675.41; the Bustleton railroad,
costing $100,000, paid $10; the Clarion
railroad, costing $140,000, paid $1.60, and
the Pickering Valley railroad, costing
$481,399.08, paid the sum of 92.cents.
TAXES ON RAILROADS.
In other words, $12,777,164.05 of rail-
road property paid a total tax of $870.03
in 1896. At the same time $12,777,164.05
of your property at 20 mills (the aver-
age) paid $255.543.28. Stated in a sim-
pler way: $12,777,164.05 of property be-
longing to corporations and a like
{ amount of property belonging to the
farmers, together amounting -to $25,-
554,328.10, paid taxes in 1896 amounting
to $256,413.31, and of this sum the far-
mers paid $255,543,28 and the corpora-
tions $870.03; or, to still further show
the inequality, every time the farmer
paid $2.94 of taxes the corporations, un-
der the tax system that Candidate
Stone says is fair to the farmer, paid
but one penny.
.I could prolong the list showing the
inequalities of taxation almost indef-
finitely, but time will not permit to-
night. After all, it seems much like
a waste of argument to try and con-
vince the voter of what every intelli-
gent citizen already knows—that there
is no fairness or equality in our ma-
chine made system of taxation.
But there is another side of this great
question of taxation that must appeal
to every person within the hearing of
my,voice. It is the remedy. It is far
easier to justly criticise the deficien-
cies of economic prlicies than to rec-
ommend intelligent and adequate meth-
ods for their equitable adjustment. It
fs impossible for me tonight to do more
than give in general terms the funda-
mental principles upon which, I belive,
the taxation of our people should be
founded.
A REMEDY SUGGESTED.
The dollar of value should be the
basis upon which taxes are levied. The
man owning $1,000 worth of property,
either in railroads, farming lands or
corporate interests, . should pay ten
times as much. tax as the man who
owns but $100 worth.
No taxable property should be given
ndvantages or concessions in the hands
of one owner that the like property or
value does not receive in the hands of
every other owner. A full assessment
of all property should be made, and an
Impartial indiscriminating tax should
be imposed.
The assessed valuation of property in
Pennsylvania, real and personal, accord-
ing to the last census, that of 1890, was,
in round numbers, $6,500,000,000. Ac-
cording to the best expert authority the
actual valuation of real and personal
property in Pennsylvania at the pres-
ent time is $10,000,000,000. If the value
of assessable property is $10,000,000,000,
the present tax rate of four mills (that
corporations are supposed to pay, but
do not, though it is only about one-
fifth the rate the farmers ray) would
rleld $40,000,000 to the state annually, or
about three and one-half times the
amount collected under the present law.
This would pay the running expense
of the state government and give the
$6,500,000 to public schools that is now
allowed, and leave, $28,000,000 to be paid
back to counties to aid in geducing, or
wiping out entirely, local taxation,
Nothing is plainer than that the
heavy burden of taxation borne by cer-
tal or partial exemptions granted vast
corporate interests, as the result of ma-
chine legislation.
The resources of Pennsylvania are so
vast and her wealth so great that, if
| each dollar of property paid its just
share, taxation would be so light that
it would scarcely be felt by any. But
| the machine paid speakers will reply to
this statement by telling the farmers
that Wanamaker advocates a tax sys-
tem that will place (we will say for ar-
| Bument) a four mill tax on their lands.
To this I want ‘o say, yes, I favor the:
placing of a four mill tax on your lands
and your homes, if by so doing I can
strike off the 20 mill tax that the ma- |
chine made laws now compel you to
pay.
I believe I can do no greater service
to the people of my state than help to
change the perpetual machine laid
mortgage of 20 mills for a reasonable
gro moderate tax rate of four mills or
ess.
