(Communicated) Editor The Valley Record : Now that the exeitement of elee- tion is over, and people have set- tled down onecé more to business, it ocenrs to me, in view of the fact that all parties at the recent elee- tion were pledged to reform the un- equal and unjust discrimination in the taxation of property for muni- cipal purposes that the present 1s a very opportune time to urge the fulfillment of this pledge I do not believe in reforms just before election, when every voler 1s excited and mote or less prejudiced against certain candidates, no mat- ter what party they belong to I do believe in reforms and passing laws beneficial to the people, and that reform should take place af ter the election, for the people then nse calm and mature judgment up on the laws that they wish to have passed that will benefit the people at large Under our present laws, and the decisions of our courts, all railroad, eanal, telegraph, gas and water companies, and all other great public corporations, bear no por- tion of the taxes, for country, city, borough or township purposes, except in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, although in very many municipalities, such corpora- tions own a very large proportion of the property. It is but just and fair, while our laws, as at present constitute, re. quire each municipality to conduct its affairs and pay all expenses from the taxes received upon prop- erty within its territory, that we should have the right to tax all property alike within such terri- tory for municipal purposes Again, it is just, fair and equit able that all parties should be treated alike, and that no person, whether an individual or a corpor- ation should have special privileges or exemptions. No good reason can possibly he given why the real estate owned by a railroad corpora- tion or by any other corporation, should not bear its proportion of the public burden equally with the real estate owned by a private person. The State of New York and the cities of Philadelphia and Pitts burg are to-day collecting and re- ceiving taxes upon all the real es- tate of railroad corporations, the same as on private owners. Why should the other muncipalities of the state be deprived of the same privileges enjoyed by Philadelphia and Pittsburg? Many of our counties, cities, bor oughs and townships are strug- gling to raise the necessary amounts to properly carry on the business required of them and are taxing the owners of property to the very limits in order to accom- plish this end, whenif the property of corporations could be made to bear its equal and just part of taxation, sufficient could easily be raised, and at the same time the rate of taxation lowered, thus relieving the people of much unnecessary bur- den and hardship. It seems entirely unnecessary to argue the justice of this measure, all who think on the subject for a moment will admit its absolute fair- ness and justice. In fact the peo- ple generally demand it and all parties have promised to enact a law to establish equal and just tax- ation. We must not suppose that such a law will be enacted, how- ever, without the public generally demand it and insist upon it. It can only be accomplished. by united and systematic and untiring ef- fort, upon the part of the public generally. Business Men's Asso- ciation, Boards of Trade of towns and cities and all Societies formed for the good of the public or of the locality where such socie- ty exists, should take the matter up at once, see their State Senators and Representatives in the Legisla- ture and urge them to support such a measure; pass resolutions urging them to use all honorable means to sceure the “enactment of such a law, Do not suppose for one moment this measure will or ean be passed without effort. Every interested corporation in the commonwealth will fight it with all the power at their command. Let no one under- estimate this power. Their forces are most formidable and can only be beaten by united, systematic and long continued and persistent ef- fort. Now is the time to organize for the fight. Let every club, so- ciety, business men's association and hoard of trade pass a resolu. means {o secure the enactment of a law making all property owned by any and all corporations the ilar property owned by individuals, or natural persons upon the organization will take the promptly.
