A dispatch from Williamsport to
the Philadelphia dailies contained
these comments :
Speaking for the farmers as repre-
sented by the grauge, Mr. Rhone de-
clared that the taxation policy of the
state works a hardship to the property
owner ; that he knew of salaried men
drawing $5000 a year, who were assess-
ed at $500 ; that the average farmer is
pot clearinz more than three per cent.

ing millionaire iron manufacturers so
that they can give money to libraries

stitutions.”
While the details of the views of
Pennsylvania grangers were
brought out through the medium of
questions Mr. Rhone referred to an
opinion of the grange that the mini.
mum salaries for the minimum term
term of public school teachers, should
be paid out of the etate treasury. This
evoked many other questions and the
subject later became the text of a
