An Address.
By the Centre County Pomona Grange, No. 13, to the
Legislature and People of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
BELLEFONTE, PA., Feb. 16, 1903.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of
Pennsylvania :
We, the members of the Centre County
Pomona Grange, No. 13, engaged in farming,
address your Honorable Body on the general
condition of agriculture within our Common-
wealth and the distress of the agricultural
class, owing to the exorbitant tax rate and
conditions that the farmer must contend with
that are not generally understood.
The market value of farm lands have de-
clined, since 1875, fully fifty per cent. so that
lands that were bought for $75.00 to $80.00
per acre, today will not bring more than
$35.00 to $40.00 per cent. During this time
the tax rates have increased forty per cent.
by reason of additional exactions, brought
about by legislative requirements, so that the
average tax rate is sixteen mills, as compared
with three mills, the average on personal and
corporate property, or twelve per cent. of the
gross earnings of the farms of Pennsylvania,
which is bordering on the verge of confisca-
tion.
We, therefore, look with alarm upon the
proposition now before the Legislature to
take away from the people, locally, the con-
trol of the public schools and public roads, by
forced enactments, and to add additional
taxes not only for these but other purposes.
We would ask, with all fairness, if it is just
to fix the minimum-salaries of teachers by a
legislative enactment instead of by the law of
supply and demand—which governs the
wages of other classes? And ifit is just to
compel local governments to raise, by local
taxation, a like amount with that raised by
the State for state roads over which the'local
governments would have no control ?
If these proposed additional burdens are to
be imposed on the farmers of the State, then
in all justice, so as to enable us to meet these
additional requirements, the Legislature
should also, by law, fix the minimum prices
of farm products; say wheat at $1.25; corn at
50cts; oats at 40cts; hay at $15.00 and other
products at the same ratio.
To relieve the over-burdened condition of
agriculture and real estate the Legislature
should, ir all justice, relinquish to the local
government all the personal property taxes,
mercantile tax, fee of county offices. on
writs, wills, deeds, etc., and also provide, by
appropriation, for the payment of jurors of
the court of quarter sessions and common
pleas.
The State should in all fairness impose a
tax on the gross receipts of mines, oil wells,
gas wells, pipe lines, manufacturing compa-
nies, etc.—as these subjects contribute less
than three mills for all governmental pur-
poses.
We only wish to add that the average rate
of taxation on personal and corporate proper-
ty is only three mills; while real estate is
taxed sixteen mills.
Anything the Legislature can do to redress
these wrongs will promote the prosperity and
happiness of all the people of our Common-
wealth.
Respectfully submitted, :
GEORGE DALE, Master,
D. M. CAMPBELL, Secretary. :

We firmly believe that every man and woman of modern means,
young and old, married or not, should read this
—HOW WE SAVE FOR THE HOME,—
by keeping for their comfort and convenience a full line of Hard-
ware.
The home we supply with stoves of beauty and comfort—parlor
or cook—guaranteed to give satisfaction. The stew, broiler and
roaster; tin cup to the wash-boiler, either pressed or made at our
shop from best charcoal tin, also copper ones, granite and marble-
‘ized ware. Table cutlery of any grade you may select. Spoons for
the tea as well as the cooking. Knives for the boy as well as the
man. Forks, shovels and hoes, axes, saws, hammers, planes, pumps
and chains, nails, bolts and screws.
For the horse we have good warm blankets to protect him from
the cold. Nice warm blankets to wrap up yourself while driving.
Halters and tie ropes to make sure the horse is found at the same
post you left him when you come to start home.
These and hundreds of useful hardware suppl! es found on hand
and sold to you so reasonable that it will save you many dollars in
the course ora year by buying of us in preference to stores who
carry more but at the same time charge you accordingly to cover
their extra outlay of capital to make display.
It is our intention to sell for small profit and turn money, not
to keep it tied up in stock and demand high prices to cover interest
on invested capital piled on the shelves. Come and see for yours
self, whether above is true or not.
