WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Itegulur Correspondent. 1
Washington, D. 0.. Juno 20th, 1887.
Unless it bo purely tho desiro to bo
fashionable, I cannot eeo why tho peo
rlo of Wasliincton loavo their own
homes ovory season and seek a Summor
resort, when, In fact, Washington
would do well to set up itself ax a first-
class summer resort, nearly all neceS'
sary conditions being extremely favor
able. Tho city is almost surrounded
by water, thcro aro always plenty of
amusements and novelties, and tho cli
mate and temperature seem almost
perfection. All last Summer tho then
momctcr did not go over 93 decrees,
and only twico this Summer has it
reached 90.
Tho Sunday Summer concerts in tho
Smithsonian grounds have been aban
doned for tho presont, but it is pro
posed to resumo theso charming enter
tainments as soon as sufficient funds
for tho purpose can bo provided.
War on the caterpillar is the order
ot tuo day in tin Uapitol tJity, ana
score or moro of men aro engaged in
destroying tho cocoons of these pests
which infest tho stately shado trees of
the many beautuul parks.
In religious circles last Sunday tho
attraction was tho Rev. Sam. Small,
tho Georgia evangelist, who preached
most euecttvcly, and in a style pic
turesquely original, to two immense
congregations, hundreds standing, and
hundreds being turned away. Mr.
Small's witty sallies drow forth invol
untary applause and recalled tho say
ings of tho noted character ho formerly
portrayed, "Old Si," of tho "Atlanta
Uonsutution. '
J. no burst of martial feeling over
tho incident of tho Confederate battle-
flags is most unfortunate, and it ap
pears was unnecessarily magnified, per
haps for political purposes, as is evi
denced oy Mr. bbcrmans bitter re
marks on tho subject. I think tli
great republio of modern times might
well l ol low, in that respeot, tho exam
ple of the great republio of ancient
times, mighty Rome, who decreed no
triumphs to Generals for victories won
over their own lehow citizens, and per
mitted no monuments to be built to
perpetuate the unhappy momorics of
civil wars. I beliove it would be best
for the re united republio to gather all
of our battle-flags, both Federal and
Confederate, and make a big bon-firo
ot them, to tho tune of the "star
Spangled Banner" and "Dixie,"' played
by the Boys in Blue and tho Boys in
uray, in front of tho Whito House.
Such generous, magnanimous deods
would be applauded by enthusiastic!
tnousands and bo the pyre ot all sec
tional animosities, for "Peace hath her
victories not less renowned than war."
Madam Grundy and her coterie are
discussing a choice bit of social gos
sip of a highly sensational nature. A
chief clerk of ono of the Departments
under the late Republican Administra
tion was a great society favorite, re
garded as a confirmed bachelor and
had for 15 years boarded at a swell
house in the "West End, presided over
by a handscmo and highly respectable
widow. Tho other day the clerk qui
etly changed lodgings, and the charm
ing widow filed an application for a
divorce, setting forth that the pair bad
been secretly married in Baltimore 14
years ago. Thus this man so promi
nent in official and social circles has
been leading a double life, a living lie,
all these years. "Meroy me I how
ranch sweetness I havo wasted on that
man," sadly exclaimed a fair clerk in
his former Department and many oth
ers echo this disappointed maiden's
sentiment and grievo as those without
hope. But I do not see how the chief
clerk should be condemned without
mercy, as there are extenuating circum
stances in tho case, the principal one
uuiug lijul uu ib a ni typo oi me Hy
pocrisy of the party which appointed
him. Like many of the disconsolate
belles of Wcshington. I dismiss him
with a long-drawn sigh.
At last, Speaker Carlisle has yielded
to ino pressure upon him of Congress
men and business men and openly an
nounces himself in favor of an extra
session of Congress. But, it is ex
tremely doubtful whether tho President
deems the financial situation of the
conntry warrants a measuro so extra
ordinary. He has firmly opposed an
extra session since the question was
first agitated, and he is a man who
very seldom changes his position
Therefore, I think thcro will be no ex
tra session. Another view of the
matter is, that it would afford the Re
publicans a much coveted opportunity
to make politioal capital, ana of course
their leaders aro in tho affirmative.
The colored people of Washington
were both surprised and delighted the
otuer night by President Cloveland at
tending tho commencement of their
High sobool and distributing tho di
plomas. By such little courtosies the
President has made himself immensely

TAXATION.
Speech of A. L. Fritz in tho Ilottso
of Representatives April 27th 1 887, on
a bill providing for a moro equal dU
vision ot taxes between corporations
and individuals.
Mr. Fritz said s Mr. Spcakor, tho
equalization of taxation between nil
classes of persons and all classes of
property Is a subject worthy ot ino con
sideration of this Ilou30. Session after
session of tho Legislature, petitions
and memorials havo boon presented
from all parts of the State, and por
haps moro requests havo been mado by
tho people of this Commonwealth for
a onango ill uur bvbiuui iu un;iuuu
than for any other object. Tho farm
crs and real cfctato owners in my sec
tion of tho State aro almost unanimous
ly in favor of some measuro that will
moro equally divide tho burdens of tax
ation. 1 thcrcforo ask tho indulgence
of tho House for a few minutes upon
this question. Whilo it will bo ad
mittted that it is impossible to mako
an exact equalization of taxes upon per
sons and property, no ono will deny
that there could bo a moro equal divis
ion than our present tax laws givo
us.
Thcro is no subject before the Legis
lature that moro directly and deeply
interests tho peoplo than taxation. It
cannot bo denied that great inequali
ties exist. Tho burden of local taxation
for cqunty, school, poor and road pur
poses falls almost entirely upon real
cstato. Unequal taxation, and other
discriminations, has greatly depreci
ated tho value of fatm land and real
cstato in general in this Common
wealth. I havo heard it said that if
wo do not exempt certain classes of
personal property and certain indus
tries from taxation that they would bo
driven out of tho State I might say
out of existence But thero is another
class of taxpayers that theso burdens
fall heavily upon more heavily than
any other in tho State. I mean tho farm
ers and real estate owners. Acoording
to tho Constitution of tho btnto "all
taxes shall bo uniform upon tho same
class of subjects." Tho burdens of
taxation should bo equalized between
all classes of persons and all classes of
property. The high and low. tho rich
and poor, should he taxed in propor
tion to tho valuation of their property.
The capital of tho farmer and real
estate owner is taxed four or five times
as much as the capital of corporations.
This is certainly an unwarrantable
and unjust discrimination, oppressive
to real estate, and contrary to tho
spirit of tho Constitution and natural
equity. It would seem, if any dis
tinction wero made, that it should bo in
favor of that form of capital that is
most productive in tavor ot tho hard
working, laboring classes of this Com
monwealth. But all that wo ask is
that thero should bo an equalization,
as near as may be, of the burdens im
posed on each form of property. Tho
farm lands and real cstato in general
aro suffering to-day from tho onerous
burdens of taxation, and the cry for
its relief comes to us from a class in
tho community whose appeals should
bo carefully considered the owners of
homes and tho tillers of the sou. The
inequality is too great against the
largo majority ot taxpayers ot this
Commonwealth the farmers and
laborers and a change must come
sooner or later.
Those who have mado tho subject a
study are almost unanimous in the
opinion that corporato and personal
property has not and does not bear a
fair share of the burdens ot taxation.
Hon. J. Simpson Afric3, Secretary of
Internal Affairs, gives the total value
of real estate in this Commonwealth
at one billion, six hundred and ninety
seven million dollars ($1,097,000,000).
Tbo total value of personal property,
which is far below its real value, is one
billion, four hundred and sixty-three
million dollars (Sl,403,UUO,UUO), which
includes corporation stock, corporation
loans, national and State bank stock,
county loans, municipal loans and
money at interest. But there aro
other classes of personal property that
are not included in this list. So that
tho estimated aggregate value of per
sonal property is equal if not higher
than that of the real estate. Tho Au
ditor General claims that thoro aro
four hundred millions of dollars held
by corporations that is not returned,
and for which no tax is paid. This sum
added to tho figures just given shows
that the value ot personal property is
more than two hundred millions of
dollars greater than the value of real
estate. The estimated total tax paid
on real estate in this Commonwealth,
is thirty millions three hundred and
ninety-five thousand dollars (30,895,.
000), and the estimated total tax paid
on personal property is fivo millions
nine hundred and sixty-two thousand
dollars (So,9(i2,000.) Mow, if per
sonal property paid the same mill rate
as real estate it" would pay twenty-six
millions one hundred and thirteen thou
sand dollars (S20,113,000), or would
exceed tho amount it now pavs by
twouty millions of dollars (820,000,000)
according to the amount returned of
each class of pioperty. But if tho
total value of all property in this Com
monwealth is returned as it should be,
and the total amount of taxes paid is
about thirty-six millions of dollars, real
cstato Bhould pay eighteen millions of
dollars, or twelve millions less than ic
now pays, and the corporations, and all
classes of personal property should pay
tho same amount, or about twolvo
millions moro than it now pays. Now
if tho figures given by tho Auditor
uetierai and tho Secretary ot internal
Affairs aro oorrect, and I think no one
can dispute them, in order to equalize.
as near as may be, the taxes of this
State between all classes of property,
somuthiug should be dono by this Legis
lature toward giving tho relief asked
for by tho great mass of farmers, real
estate owners and laborers of this Com
monwealth. It has been estimated that
moneyed capital earns about fivo por
cent per annum, and that real estate
earns about two aud one-half. If two
men should have fivo thousand dollars
each to invest, the ono purchases a
farm aud the other invests his monoy
in corporato stock or some other class
of personal property. Thero is no doubt
but that tho farmer pays about five
times as much tax as the person who
has his money invested in personal
property. Is there any doubt that tho
burdens of taxation aro uuovenly di
vided t
Tho bill under consideration does
not proposo such a radical change as
illustrated by tho figures which I have
t'uBt given you. Tbo figures were
need upon tho statistics aud faots giv
en by thoso officers who havo charge
of the finances of this State, and can
not be disputed. It is, thcreforo our
duty as representatives of tho pconlo
nf this great Commonwealth, to give
hed to tho dmands mado by tho
groat majority of citizoim of this Statu
tho largest class of property owners.
They havo been knocking at tho doors
of this Legislature, with petitions aud
memorials, ever since tho session open
ed, and they aro still waiting to bo
heard on this question hoping and ox-
icciing i nai porno rcuci, at least will
)0 given them. Evorv unbiased
student of our financial policy will ad
mit that there is an unfair division of
our taxes at tho present time. This in
equality is npparcnt to nil. Now, sir,
knowing theso facts, is it not our duty
as Legislators to placo upon tho statulo
books somo law which will mako a
moro equal division of these burdens.
Govornor Hill, in his mcssago to tho
Now York Legislature on this subiect
said that "every citizen has n right to
insist that taxation shall bo uniform
and equal, as far as possible ; and,
whilo tho peoplo aro patriotic and do
not object to meeting the just demands
of government, t hoy may properly in
sist that unjust discrimination shall not
bo permitted." Tho farm aud tho
workshops should bear their portion of
tho public burden ; so should tho cor
porations, tho bonds, tho stooks and
other mouoyed capital and personal
property of tho Stato. Tho practical
operation of our present law is that tho
corporations and personal property in
general pay but a small portion of our
taxes, which adds to tbo burdens upon
real estate, whilo tho latter is taxed
without regard to tbo actual interest
of tho owner m it. This presents a
proper subject for action, and tho sug
gestion that real and personal property
should bo placed under an equal foot
ing, f-ir all purposes of taxation, is
worthy of most serions consideration.
As an illustration of our present sys
tem of taxation, a man bought a farm
and mortgaged it for four thousand
dollars. Now ho paid six per cent, for
tho uso of tho money, and ho also paid
an aggregate tax on his land for all
purposes of about twenty mills, or
eighty dollars tax on tho land purohas
o(f with borrowed money. Tho mnn
who held tho mortgage had ngreed to
mako tho loan, providing tho farmer
should pay tho Stato tax on tho mort
gage. Thus, twelve dollars moro tax
is added, making a total of ninety-two
dollars tax on a four thousand dollar
farm. Ho paid two hundred and forty
dollars in addition, as interest, to tho
person who loaned him tho money.
Thus ho paid out annually, in tho sbapo
of taxes and interest on the money in
vested, threo hundred and thirty-two
dollars, whilo the capitalist who loaned
the money recoived his six per cent on
the monoy invested, clear of all taxes
and expenses. 1 might givo you illus
trations of men who aro worth from
twenty-fivo thousand to ono hundred
thousand dollars, who have their monoy
all invested in corporations or other
personal property, and who only pay a
small occupation tax, or, perhaps, a
tax upon a horse. Why, sir, Mr.
Speaker, tho farmers, tho mechanics,
tho laborers, who own small homes, and
all other classes who have tho bulk of
their money invested in real cstato and
who constitute moro than four-fifths oi
this Commonwealth, are asking us to
pass somo law in reference to making
a moro equal division of their burdens.
It cannot bo denied that monoy own
ers do not pay one-fourth as much in
proportion to tho amount of property
or income as the owners of real estato
which, in tho present as in the past,
bears tho hea y burdens of local and
municipal taxation. Tho property of
a corporation is no more sacred than a
farm or tho small home of a laborer.
Both are property and are protected
bv the laws which surround tbein.
Should not each bear its share of tho
burdens of Stato and local taxation in
proportion to their value and income T
shall wo throw aside and refuse to listen
to the requests of three-fourths of the
tax-payers of this Stato t It is our
duty as representatives of the people,
in passing laws, to, treat all classes
alike. Tho corporations, tho farmer,
tho mechanic, tho laborer, and all
other classes of citizens should bo put
upon an equal footing. Shall wo throw
tho arms of protection around tho cor
porations and tho wealthy monoyed
men, who constituto only a small por
tion of the citizens, and not heed to
tho wishes of all other classes T It is
our duty to pass laws, not for ono par
ticular class of men, but in tho interest
of the whole people. Generally tbo
corporations and otbT personal prop
erty mako a net annual return of from
fivo to twenty-fivo per cent. The farm
and other real estato in Pennsylvania,
after deducting insurance, taxes, im
provements, repairs and hired labor in
cident to managing the same, does not
yield a net return of moro than two
aud one half por cent, upon tho amount
invested. In some of tho richest agri
cultural counties in tho State the net
returns from farms is not more than
two and one-half per cent.
Tho Auditor General in his report
on the finances of the State for tho
year 1880, in recommending a revision
of tho tax laws, claimed that "It will
bo admitted by any one familiar with
the subject, that our tax laws are in a
mixed and muddled condition, and
breed fruitful and endless litigation.
Were it possible, all our laws relating
to State, county, township and munici
pal taxation should bo revised, codified
and put in an intelligent and intelligi
ble shape. It is in many cases difficult
to determino what law is upon a given
subject. For fifty years acts have been
amended, until too frequently no one
can tell what act is in force and what
is not. Others havo been drawn in
great haste and amended when almost
on final passage, and at times the
amendments contradict the terms and
iutent of tho original bill. To codify
and put in proper shape theso acts of
Assembly is no easy task, but tbo de
mand is almost imperative.
Under theee laws more than thirty-
fivo millions of dollars aro annually
collected, and they personally affoct
every citizen ot the commonwealth.
In many cases tboy aro worse than tho
laws of a certain Roman Emppror. His
wero printed in letters so small that
they could not bo read from tho street.
Ours can bo read without difficulty.
Tliore is no trouble with tho type, but
they aro so conflicting in terms, aud so
obscure in language, that eminent
judges diffor as to their meaning, and
the averago lawyer and taxpayer is lost
among their mizcs. A moro just, in
telligent aud consistent system, dis
tributing the burdens of taxation moro
equitably between corporations and in
dividuals, could certainly bo adopted.
No subjects moro deserving is before
the raemberB of tho Legislature. Mr.
Justice Paxton, in 17 W. N. C, 455,
commenting upon our tax laws, soys :
"Our entire revenue system needs to
bo remodeled in accordance with tho
new Constitution. It has been for
many years a disjointed system, subject
to irequent anil arbitrary changes, in
many instances loosely and obscurely
worded, making iu construction aud
enforcement matters of no slit-lit diffi
culty. To re-cast it now in cntiro har
mony with tho original law is a serious
matter."
Now, Mr. Speaker, no ono will deny
that great inequalities exint ai'd that
oorno chango should bo mado in our
system of local taxation, so that the
burdens of local taxation upon real es
tato will bo somewhat removed, If tho
corporations and other personal prop
erty nro paying at tho present tlmo
ono-fourth or one-fifth ns much tax as
roal estate, according to tho valuation
of each class of property, thcro should
bo no objections to tho passago of n
law that will mako n mora equal divi
sion. If tho roal cstato is paying four
or fivo dollars tax to ovory dollar paid
bv corporations and other personal
property, and tho valuation of tho ono
class is about equal to tho other, is it
rcasonablo to object to a chango in tho
system of our fooal taxation t Why,
sir, somo of our corporations aro almost
entiroly lrco lrom taxation, whilo their
net ineoino is from two to ten times aa
great ns tho ineoino derived from real
T- !. 1 it.-.
esiaiv. as it iwy wuuuer mat
real cstato has been depreciating
in value, and that tho owners thcro-
of aro prisscd IJown with tho
burdens of over taxation and
other discriminations t Whero ono
class of proporty is compelled not only
to hear its own burdens, but the bur
dons of nil other classes, is it any won
der that thcro Is a great depreciation
in value 1
All classes of property should pay,
as near as may be, its share of tho tax
es for all purposes of this common
wealth or, at least, our present system
of local taxation should bo changed bo
that thcro will bo, as near as possible,
an equal division according to the in
eoino or valuo of tho respectivo prop
erties. Judge Paxton, ot tho Supremo
Court, said in his opinion on tho lato
tax law, "it is, perhaps vain to expect
that any system of taxation shall pro
duco exact uniformity ; it is, however,
both rcasonablo and possible to lay tho
taxes in bucIi a manner that substan
tial jiiBtico and uniformity shall bo tho
result."
I am not hero to defend nny particu
lar class of property or personp, but
I wish to treat all alike. When I see
and know that thcro aro unreasonable
discriminations against certain classes,
I feel it my duty to advocato somo
measure that will havo a tendency to
w trd removing tho objectionablo fea
tures from our present tax laws.
