Farm ers should provide granaries and stor age on their farms and not be com pelled to rush their products into pub lic elevators and Into the hands of speculators." On agriculture In general Mr. Jones suld that "notwithstanding the Indus try, frugality and energy of the o.kim), txxj sturdy farmers and tho aid render ed by the department of agriculture, agriculture him not expanded and prog pored as other great lines of Industries Save done. The treasury bureau says that the Increase of agricultural pro duction ln thirty years was DIM per cent, while the export during the same time Increased ll'.l.K per cent. The pro duction of manufactured articles was enlarged 20H.1 per cent, while exports of manufactures Increased fi.TT.7 per rent during the same thirty years. "In lSTitl farmers owned percent f the entire wealth of the nation. In 1000 they owned only J1.27 per cent of the wealth of the nation; thus farmers are losing their relative position in the weulth and production of the nation. If this lie true.

Worthy Master and Members of the I'ciiiisn lvania Slate ( ; range : The legislative committee of this l"ly desires to report that we linve given during the past year careful con sideration (o legislation alleclillg Hie agricultural interest of I Vim-yh miin. 1'in iiig the session of the legislature of l'.'f'l your committee prepared ami was Instrumental in having Introduced several bills ami amendments that "ere in accord with the institu tions of this body one year ago. TAXATION'. In the matter of equalization of tax ation the tendency of the last legisla ture was to make still more glaring the cxiMtiiiK I nullities. This was done y passing laws which in their opera tion will materially ineiease local tax ation. In our report submitted one year ngo we Rioted at length from tlie'eurrciit State reports, showing the appraised value of real estate to be $2,77rt,x:S,8f, "(miii willed taxes were paid to the amount of f ,4:H,l)37.h3, making an average tax rate of Iti mills. While it is argued by some that real estate Is not rated at Its full value for tax pur poses it will be found that farm land and small homes are assessed at more nearly their full value than are many real estate properties In towns ami eities. This same ineiualil,v exists to a greater extent in the assessed valu ation compared with the actual value of large corporations subject to local taxation, among which we name coal lands ami manufacturing properties. Many of these are not assessed at over 4 percent, of their real value. Our report of last year further states that the aggregate, estimated, apprais ed value of corporate ami personal prop erty is f l.7iri,480,L'77.iiS, upon which taxes are paid to the amount of fl4, 0'jl,474.0S, making the average tax rate on these forms of property to be 3 mills. Therefore we reiterate that the State must cither assume it larger proportion of the local burdens or relimiuish u large number of subjects for local taxa tion, as it is unfair to exact an average of but 3 mills on personal and corporate property, while real estate is required to pay M mills. In support of this po sition your committee had hills intro duced at the last session of the legisla ture providing that the mercantile li censes and retail liiplor licenses ami the one-fourth part of the personal proper ty tax now paid to the State be retain ed by the counties. All these bills were pigeon-holed In the committee. There are other license taxes which should be retained by the counties. This would result in lowering county taxes and the condition of the State Treasury warrants us in taking this position, for according to report there was on Dec. 1 u balance of over fifteen millions of dollars in the Htate Treas ury. Under present laws this surplus Is of no relief to the local taxpayer, while It breeds extravagance and cor ruption in State affairs. A large sum of this money is license taxes us shown by the auditor general's report of l'.0J, which gives the amount of these taxes as follows: Retail mercantile license $631303.05 Wholesale mercantile license -40,114.(13 Ketail Honor license Wholeslale liipior license Hrewers' license Distillers license Hottlers' license P.illiard license Jtrokers' license 513,3(.!i.i;0 li70,lL'1.1.5 41,174.113 Iti0,l2!)li.27 64,4-VJ.titi H0,titH.40 Auctioneers' license Peddlers' license (l,ti0.17 5,317.30 rheatre license Eating house license 28,413. Or a total license tax of !j:2,(i4ti.3"0.37 Vdd to this of the personal nroiH'itv tax now retained bv he State 882,344.25 Tax on county loans l.i4,72lM4 Tax on municipal loans 1011,245.0.5 Total f3,7Htl,(i(i0.31 This amount the Statecan well afl'ord to leave in the counties ami municipal ities. We can see no reason why the nicrcditnt, who uses the schools, roads, etc., the same as the mrmer, pays ins tax to the State while the farmer pays hU to the local authorities. The Mime is true of the license taxes. The per sonal property tax is mostly raised from judgments and mortgages held on real estate which is already overtaxed. Therefore, in our opinion, real estate should have the advantage of whatever tax reduction it yields In retaining all of tho personal property tax by Hu counties. The tax on county and municipal loans is a tax on a debt In curred for public improvement and should be paid and retained by the counties or municipalities, KOAD I.MMsr.ATIOX. Your committee with others worked Industriously to carry out the Instruc tions of this body as expressed in pie- vlous years. u ncneve our pus........ on the road question is right. Kvcr since the foundation of the govern inent tho farmers have built and main tained the roads at tho expense of tho farms. This practice was established u-i.on agriculture represented nearly all the wealth of the State. This burden Is still Imposed upon the fanners, al though l hey are less than one-sixth of Hie Stale's populat ion, ami other in terests have vastly outstripped us in wealth. All our past and present road legislation has had (he (Meet of adding to the (axes on the farms, while the census of l!lil shows that Hie value of the farm lands of Pennsylvania with their improvements have decreased in Hie last ten years m arly $21,000,(100. Thousand of farms, if put up nt public sale, would hardly bring what it would cost to replace the buildings on them. 'There are more abandoned farms in our State today than ever before. All the people have equal rights to the public roads and wecan not under stand why the farmers should alone have been compelled tobuild ami main tain tin in. (IikmI roads are also of equal Importance tooll interests, there fore no class of property should refuse to assist In paying for them. When in supM.rt of this position your legislative committee usked the legislature to tax personal and corporate property, in cluding manufacturing corporations, tho small sum of 1 mill for road pur poses the legislature failed to pass It. Such a tax would yield ut least twoand one-half million dollars annually Un der our present system of taxation we till contend that this is the right way to raise money from these interests fir road purposes. It must bekept.in mind that good roads cost money and lots of It. The legislature at Its last session passed a law appropriating $500,000 per yeor for the next two years for good roads, yet in Its operation it will greatly increase local tuxes, but adds no tax on those forms of property that hive never yet paid for good purposes. Home of the arguments, appearing in our news papers under the guise of good roads, made to the c fleet that the farmers arc blind to the advantages of good roads, are a fallacy. We farmer do under stand the advantages of good roads as well us anybody, but we are not delud ed by a paltry $550,000 appropriation coupled with all its red tape, Increased local taxation and loss of local control In the first place the $500,000 appro priation represents taxes that have been puiu to tne nunc mat should never have left the counties, as shown above To thus collect moneys from localities and to then not allow It to be returned for expenditure in the counties for tho public good except it be done under rigid centralized authority is to reflect upon the intelligence and integrity of oui citizens, 'lhat the government superior to the people in either virtue or business ability is questionable. In proof that It is not, we refer to the cost and manner in which the State is car rying out that part of road construc tion already entrusted to her the building of State bridges. Do the tax payers wish to encourage jobbery by putting the control of building the roads under such management when one-third of the cost is to be born by the local taxpuyers? If the State wants to Improve the principal roads at her expense we have no objections but believe It would be much fairer than the present law There are about 100,000 miles of public roads in our' Commonwealth, 10 per cent, of which can be termed as princi pal or main roads. There Is no just reason why poor townships should be taxed to Improve and keep in repair these main roads when they are used for inter-county and State commerce. National aid to States for good roads is being discussed. General Miles rec ommended that part of the standing army be used in building good roads Here are Ideas Hint the State ln con junction with the federal government could work out and be of great help in getting good roads. The road Act of 1H03 has some good features In it, sev eral of which were inserted by your committee, ami ng which are the di vision of the appropriation according to the township road mileage, a dell nition of a good road, the right for the people to select the kind of a roud they wish to have built, together with sev erul other amendments. Our towm ship road system is very faulty and we recommend a change in tho sume. JWe believe that more good roads can bo built by getting something done yearly in each of the 1,500 townships in the State than by any other plan, provided we get some State aid, as we had a right to expect w hen the roud Act of 1897 was passed, which is still inoperative because the legislature refuses to grant the appropriation provided for in that law lu order to put it into effect. TUOI.I.KV I.KUIHI.ATION. Your committee according to instruc tions from this body prepared and In troduced a bill in the lust legislature to allow trolleys to carry freight. This privilege is grauted them in all States except Pennsylvania and New Jersey. rot withstanding the necessity und help that this would be to the farmers it was smothered In committee. As this Is the mouth In which the trien nial assessments are returned to the county commissioners your commit tee calls the attention of the members of this body to inspect such assess ments and see that largo corporations subject to local taxation are valued ln the same proportion that other real es tate Is assessed. For it Is a noticeable fact that In nearly every section of the Stale their valuation Is very low. We indorse the action of the Nation al Orange In favor of a parcels post, the furl her extension of Hie frecrunii mail delivery, tl stahlishmeiit of postal savings banks. Hie grunting of increas ed powers to t he interstate commerce commission, and tiieclcction of United Slates senators by a direct vote or Un people, Your committee believes that then' Is no better paying Investment than our public schools. The ( ut j-y school house has been and will be the main factor in educating the great mass of our rural population. The township high school Is a good thing, the graded country school has many advantages, but we caution our people not to be too fast in disposing of the old led school houses. Kvery patron of the country school should give one or two days during the winter in visiting the schools of their district. A little en couragement along Hiis line will pay big returns. 'The farmer is not. only a producer but a consumer, which makes him bear heavy burdens of indirect taxa tion. Tic pays more for some articles than the manufacturer charges th. for eigner. 'This injustice should be cor rected. On tills subject we can use no stronger language than that of the worthy master of the National Orange, Hrother Aaron Jones, who said a year ago : "Any law In force which enables manufacturers to sell and they do sell In foreign countries any manufactur ed articles at a less price than they sell to American citizens, suld law or laws should at once be revised, amended, or repealed, und all such practices made impossible." At the recent session of the National Orange at Kochcster he said : "I again repeat it and assert that if those who have the power to correct these abuses 1 1 American citizenship do not correct them, the people should and will cor rect them." The high charges of transportation companies and their unjust discrimi nation should in some way bo regu lated. The operations of the trusts have so far proved not only harmful but are robbing the people in every conceiva ble way. While we are not an advo cate of boycotting, we believe it would be to our best interests to patronize so much us possible the few remaining in dependent manufacturers. Wo would suggest that in order to secure the reforms advocated by the Orange that each County Orange ap point a legislative committee to ques tion candidates for the legislature and Congress before they are nominated as to their position on these questions, and accept no doubtful answers. roNci.rsiox. In making this report wo do not want to lie misunderstood, as we be lieve that agriculture is a most honor able vocation. Notwithstanding the many disadvantages named we are alive to the advancement of the inter ests and rights of agriculture. YVe be lieve whatever is done to further these Interests is for the good of tho whole people. And we further believe that many of our young people are making a mistake in leaving the farm. The Orange offers many opportunities for Improvement and advancement. It has accomplished a great deal and can do more for our agricultural interests. A leading agricultural paper says : "The order of the Patrons of Hus bandry stands for what Is best in agri culture. More and more are our law makers beginning to recognize the power of the Orange. YVell they may. No other organization, when it makes its position known, can be held to as fully represent the views of its mem bers. Tills is why tho Orange, when it speaks, speaks with the voice of one having authority, and why our legis lators listen. More farmers should join the order." Itespectfully submitted, W. T. Hru., S. It. HtiUNriKS, William T. Ckkasy, Secretary. PostoSice Growth- According to the statistical re port of Fourth Assistant Postmast er General Bristow there has been during the past year a steady in crease iu post offices and postoffice business. The number of post offices iu the country on the ist of July was 74,169, of which number 242 were first class, 1,107 second class, 3,690 third class and 69,130 fourth class. The rural free de livery routes of the country now number 19,398, which is a most encouraging report for the farmers and others residing in the rural districts. There is no part of the service fio popular or beneficial to the people than the rural free delivery routes. They have put the farming commu nities on a par with the cities and enable the farmer who lives many miles from the nearest postoffice to receive his letters and periodicals with the sam regularity enjoyed by the man in the city. In fact OASTOniA. Bean th Mia "3"' Always uoup the rural free delivery is a traveling post office, issuing and cashing money orders, celling stamps and affoidmg many other conveniences that in former years necessitated a trip to the post office. The farmer of the most remote outlying township receives his morning newspaper fresli and crisp with all the news and he can keep as well posted as the man in the city. Tlie post office operations of tlie country have reached remark able proportions, nnd rural free de livery has added wonderfully to the success of the great department. A mil NISTRATO RS S A LK.
