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.
