Bemorraic Waldman Bellefonte, Pa., September 16, 1910. Rid State of the Machine. Grim Shows How Republican Misrule | Crushes Farmer. Proper Rural Schools Denied. Wednesday, Sept. 7, was Democratic | day at the Farmers’ Picnic at the White City, Chestnut Hill, Philadel phia. The feature of the occasion was i 8 speech by State Senator Webster | Grim, Democratic candidate for gov- ernor. It is estimated that 10,000 peo- ple attended the picnic that day. Senator Grim was introduced by John Burton, chairman of the Demo- | cratic reception committee. In part | Mr. Grim said: “If 1 can show you that the Demo- cratic party advocates the principles | which you advocate and that the Re- | publican party has done those things which theyshould not have done and let | pndone those things which they should have done, then you cannot consistent. | ly hesitate to support our party if you | would be true to your convictions. | “The national and state governments | attempt to regulate everything, even prescribing the conditions under which | you are born, the conditions of your ! marriage and the permit of your death ! . and burial. Samuel J. Tilden, in a. speech before the New York state | Democratic convention in 1871, said | that ‘The creed of the Democratic | party was comprised in two ideas: | First, to limit as much as possible all | governmental power, enlarging every- | where the domain of individual judg- | ment and action; and secondly, to throw back the governmental powers necessary to be exercised as much as | possible upon the states and the local’! ities, approaching in every case the individuals to be affected. The opposite Ideas, to meddle with everything properly belonging to the individual and to centralize all governmental | powers, express the tendencies of the | Republican party.’ How true was this ' prophecy! It is the favorite policy of | the Republican party to teach the peo- | ple to look to Washington as the | source of power, instead of the Demo- cratic view, which teaches that the source of power is in the people them- ' selves. The People Are All Powerful. “Republicans believe that what is good enough for the majority of this nation is good enough for the locality. Democrats believe that this is their own affair so long as they dn not con- flict with any larger principles affect- ing their neighbors. One doctrine teaches that the benefits emanate from the people themselves, and that offi- cials are only their public servants. Democrats believe that all power was | originally vested in the people, that they gave to the state some of these powers and that the state granted some of these same powers as were , necessary to the general government. | “Before the Civil War with few ex- | ceptions the affairs of the government | and state were administered by the | same party which watched at the birth of the nation. Under its guidance was | shaped its future destiny. Upon the | broad principles of equality its suc- | cess was assured. The country and | state during this time was largely ag- | ricultural and the farmers were the ! great support of the party. ‘Equal rights for all. special privileges for | none,’ was a cardinal principle. Trusts, | monopolies and subsidies found no ' foothold in our legislation. But now | how changed: The mere statement | of the proposition throws upon the | party in power since the war the! burden of alarming conditions which have produced such irregularities. ! Who will deny that special privilege | has become a part of our legislative | system? Who will deny that we have a condition of privilege whereby we can count our millionaires by the hun- dreds, and that our protected indus- tries have become powerful enough to throttle the government itself? What have you farmers been doing all the | time? How have your interests heen cared for during this period of mil lionaire development? How many of you have become millionaires? Has any man worked harder and earned more than you have? You have been helping this movement for years by your votes, and what have you receiv ed in return for building the nation? Have your lands increased in value over fifty years ago? Do your crops bring any more now than they did then? And in return for all these grants of special privilege to the in- terests, are your taxes any less than they were fifty years ago? They have increased in every instance. The Tariff a Yoke of Bondage. “No, gentlemen, this management is not in your interests, and you only add to your burden by supporting the Republican party. There are indus- tries that are directly benefited by this legislation, but it is not yours, and you are therefore paying dearly for it. Take the present tariff for an example. What benefit does the iar- mer derive from high protective tariff to compensate him for the increased cost which he must pay for nearly ev- erything he buys? It is for you to say whether you will continue to place the yoke of bondage around your mecks so that you may prosper the manufacturers and the business men. You ask no favors. Why not let other business industries do likewise? Place the nation back again upon the princi- ple of equality by abolishing special privileges. It is plain that you can never hope for this from the Republi can party.” Explaining that the blind partisan- ship which impels a man to vote the ‘ , administration of the Hon. Edwin 8. . Stuart. ' morrow of three subjects—schools, . roads and health. As to the first, Gov- , created the state highway department : since then we have invested in round i it an appropriation of 15 per cent to ' all townships which had abolished the | session omitted to provide the appro- ; not more than $20 a mile should be | paid, but Governor Stuart for some i out the appropriation. The last legis- : lature re-enacted the same measure, .dustries should share with you the political ticket his father voted is the | | source of present-day political machine | ! power, Senator Grim continued: i “Mr. Tener says that if elected he will carry out the wise and sagacious policies which have distinguished the Proper Schools Denied the Farmer. “Mr. Tener will speak to you to- ernor Stuart vetoed the school code, which had been prepared with great care by a committee of eminent edu- cators, and in so doing, denied to the | children of our state the benefits of a | more advanced system of education. | If Mr. Tener carries out the princi. ples of Governor Stuart, as he prom- ises, he will do the same thing. Thi«! measure had been promised to the | people, and while not perfect it was | as perfect as it ever will be and should not have been vetoed. “The greatest difficulty with which you have had to contend in the farm life is the disadvantage under which your children labor. To keep the boys and girls upon the farm we have es- tablished the township high school, ; and today no bright boy or girl upon the farm needs to go to the city for a high school education. But this in turn is altogether checkmated by the busi- ness college which sends its agents to visit personally every high schoo’ graduate who does not expect to enter a profession and allures him by the promise of a good position after a year's course in business. We need ! the new code to check this tendency. We need all the school facilities in the country that we can get to hold our young people upon the farm, and the school code contained many provisions to that effect, particularly in the re quirements as to agriculture, “It takes a bold man who can de- fend the party in power for its jug- glery with the road appropriation. We divide our road legislation into two branches—stone road legislation and dirt road legislation. For forty years before 1902 we had very little legisla- tion upon the subject. In 1903 we and began the construction of stone roads by the state with local aid, and figures about $10,000,000 in stone roads. The present dirt road law was first enacted in 1905 and carried with work tax, but the legislature at that priation, and the legislature of 1907 appropriated $150,000 for 1906, ard the legislature of 1909 appropriated $295, 000 to pay the 15 per cent appropria- tion for 1907. The appropriation for 1908 and 1909 have never been paid. In 1907 the legislature increased the per cent to 50 per cent, provided that reason vetoed this measure and cut the original bill carrying with it $1, 500,000 for the purpose. It was well known that it would require all of this amount to meet the 50 per cent, and that this would be of some real as- sistance to the farmers of the state. It was equally well known that the money was in the state treasury to meet the appropriation. In spite of this knowledge the city members in the legislature succeeded in cutting down the appropriation to $1,000,000, and the governor when it reached him cut it another one-half, so that we are face to face with the proposition that the legislature and the governor cut $1,000,000 from you farmers of the state, or in other words left you bear that much additional tax burden dur- ing these two years. I say the farmers of the state, because after all is said and done, iw is the farmers’ tax that keeps in order the dirt roads. If you believe that Mr. Tener will carry out this policy of Governor Stuart, and that suits you, vote for him.” Mr. Grim criticized the state depart- ment of health as being a type of “sumptuary legislation with a ven- geance,” and added that he will have more to say upon this subject later in the campaign. He then branched to the more vital, but more complex subject of taxa- tion, concluding his speech as follows: “While the government was extend- ing to other interests, governmental support, the farmer was supporting the government, but now that infant industries have developed into giant trusts and manufacturers have been able to grow rich and the railroad companies have done nothing in re. turn for franchises except to discrim- inate against you, you wrong yourself if you do not demand that other in- burden of taxation. There never was any intelligent reason given why $1000 invested in real estate should pay any more to the support of the govern- ment than the same amount invested at interest or in merchandise. The man who invests $3000 in an automo- bile that goes tearing up your roads | fhould pay road tax the same as you do upon your farm that cost you the same amount. The certificate of de- posit in bank should pay as much in- terest as tho mortgage upon your farm. Yea more, for the former should not be required to pay a tax on what he owns and on what he owes besides. The corporation pays a five mill tax upon net earnings, but the farmer pays an average of sixteen mills not upon net earnings but upon his whole plant. It is true that real estate no longer pays state tax. The 27,000 corporations doing business in this state should pay every dallar of the state tax, leaving all other taxes now collected by the state for local | purposes. The farmer for years has | not had a fair chance with the man engaged in other enterprises.” While the Democrats and some of the Republicans on the Ballinger in- vestigating committee were attending to business at St. Paul, Congressman Marlin E. Olmsted was patching up his fences by making a political speech in his district near Harrisburg. Isn't it about time that Pennsylvania be rep- resented at Washington by men who serve the people first and themselves and “the interests” last. One way to help the Republican ma- chine in its efforts to keep its p on Pennsylvania is to fail to be regis tered. Voting is then impossible under | iY the law. Electors in third class cities have two more days in which to be registered—Tuesday, Sept. 20, and Saturday, Oct. 22. Registration last fall, last winter or last spring has ex- pired. It is rumored in gang circles that one of the first measures to be passed next winter, should the Penrose crowd be in control, will be the “Stuart state highway bill,” which the present gov- ernor vetoed last year. Can vou imag- ine anyone except Jim McNichol get- ting the contract? No one is a Christian who hasn't been baptized. No man in a Pennsyl vania city is a voter who hasn't been registered in person. Tuesday, Sept. 20, and Saturday, Oct. 22, are the re- maining registration days in third class cities, which means every city except Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Scranton. Any elector who is twenty-two years old or more cannot vote in November unless he shall have paid a state or county tax within the past two years. Such taxes must be paid not later than Oct. 8. If you have not paid a tax | since 1908 hunt up your ward or town- ship county tax collector and pay it. —A cornfield makes an excellent run for chicks.
