wi rR MH HALL. PA., THURSDAY, MARCH VOL. LXXXVI. THE BENSON TAX REFORM BILL, Democratic Measure That would Tax All Corporate Property fer Local Parposes, One of the most important measures before the presant seesions of the legis. lature is the bill of Representative KE. R. Benson, Democratic member from McKean county, providing for the equalization of taxation in Peunayl- vauia, The bill provides that public utilities taxed for local purposes and, if it becomes a law, will bring a large measure of revenue to munici- palities, townships and counties from corporations which have heretofore escaped taxation altogether or been able to evade bearing their prop- er share of the expense of government. The importance of this measure to every man, womsn and child iu the Coma onwealth is shown by the dec. laration of ity a13h02 toss, If passed, no citizsn of Pennaylvania would required to pay more than eight mills taxes for all purposes. The farmers, workingmen and all Common- be have be producing classes of the wealth have been suffsring from un- just and unequal taxation to an ex'ent where forbearance has ceased to be a virture, sud were they to realize the importance to them individually of the passage of Lhis act, such a demaud would arise from every city, town and rural distric: for the support of the measure that no member of the legis lature who desires to serve anoiher term would dare to resist “The bill is equitable and just in every feature,’ to quote Mr. Benson's own statement, ** All it requires or asks for is that all properly now sud j+ct to taxation in Penpsylvania shall and hereafter must be assessed all and psy iis share of government, whether stale, county or local, this asking whether the property so owned by the individual or the cor- poration, or whether it is live stock or railroad stock.” A fp for J urposes and without assessed is pir. i 8 Follette, Hepablican, Senator La Follette, who conferred with President Wilson calls himself & Republican, He Republican who bas proved that uoder the Presi dency of I'heodore Roosevelt *‘the trusts increased from 149 to 10020.” He ia the Hepublican who has charged that the panic of 1907 “was manufac. tured by Wall biuffed Mr. Roosevelt into approval of the Tenn:ssee Coal and Iron merger.’ He is the Republican who has said more thao ounce that “Mr. Taft President violated every true principle cf his party.” He Is the Republican ho bas said over and over again under the rule of McKinley, Roosevelt aud Taft trol of American paseed into the me,” whom be pamed, A Republican holding these vie coufer is the street interests which Ba thst | financial © indust:y and bands of fourteen i“ Lue commerce aE ought to be able not only to with President VWiison bat to ¢o oper- ate with him. sad ete — A Judge for Each County.
