THE QUESTION OF TAXATION
Xu li mini lirmiKC I'nr Tar ill' Hovi*ion
iinil ( ollnfi-rnl liiherituncr Tat,
The committee on taxation of the
national grange submitted an extend
cd report at-tlie recent meeting of the
national grange at Denver, In which
these recommendations were made:
That whenever any of our man
' ufactories are using the tariff laws to
enable them to sell their surplus prod
-1 nets iu foreign markets at a less price
| than they are sold at home, thereby
making our own people pay more for
! their goods liy reason of competition
being prohibited, we demand the re
| vision of those laws along the lines
that will prevent such abuses, t'nder
present conditions It is Impossible to
i reach certain classes of property for
| tuxable purposes, aud under the laws
as they exist today hundreds of mil
lions of dollars' worth of property pay
virtually no tax nt all; therefore, if it
cannot be done otherwise, we favor
changing the constitution of the Unit
ed States in order that a graduated In
come tn\ law may be enacted, which
we believe to be one of the most Just
| and equitable of laws, as it enables a
! tax to be placed upon property that en
1 tlrely escapes at the present time.
We would advocate that all laws for
the assessment of taxes in all the
O. M. FREEMAN, KBL'HETAHY OF NATIONAL
OK.V.SOK.
1 states of the Union be made uuiform
; in so far as the manner of assessment
! and the basis of value are concerned.
I Then we would be rid of a large
| amount of tax doilging by reason of
| property being shifted from one slate
i to another. It would remove the prae
| tice of eomprtitlon among states iu se
curing manufactories by reason of ex
emptions so freely made under pres- :
out conditions and would In no way
prevent the development or establish
ment of manufacturing plants. If ii
had never been, there would have l>eeu
I as many manufactories as at present
j and states would not have towns at
1 auction every day. as at present. With
laws enacted along these lines as a
basis, we believe it would not he as
hard as at present to seen re substan
tially eijulty and Justice iu the distribu
tion of the tax burdens. Properly is
property, and we believe eve 'dug
that Is classed as pro;vrt,\ shciil 1 be
taxed as such. Therein e \ e favor a

Mk ,s igan is one of the live grange
states of the Union and always has a
good report to make of itself at its an
! nual meetings. State Master Ilorton in
his annual address said that there were
700 subordinate granges, with over -ie,-
000 members In the state, holding in
the aggregate about 20,000 meetings
annually. He referred with Justifiable
j pride to the achievements of the grange
I In that state, with particular reference
; to the subject of equal taxation aud for
j pure food legislation. He also referred
to what had been accomplished for
good roads, farm forestry, direct legis
lation and other questions of public in
terest. He counseled great wisdom in
preventing the grange organization
| from lieing Illegitimately used "to fur
1 tlier Interests which In time may rise
; to master us and to turn the grange
from Its real lines of usefulness."
We have nowhere seen a better state
ment of tho position which the grange
; should take on public questions than
| that from the following paragraph in
; Mr. Horton's annual address:
, The grange occupies a unique position
In th# social, educational, economic and
I political affairs of our state, its chk-f
| function Is to discuss and Influence or to
! create public sentimimt for or ngalnst,
as Its wisdom in council may dictate. It

In the Lyconiing-Fottor-Clinton d.ri
tiict the Lincolnites have nominated
along into the next presidential elec

fore the country only a few months
before the presidential election would
be certain to jeopanli'/e Republican
prospects of electing the next presi

Mcfvinley tariff which no sagacious pol
itician would desire again to have. Xo
! matter how wisely the Republican pnr
ty would act in revising the tariff
schedules, any law which it would en
act on the subject would be open to
exaggerated misrepresentation which
there would be no time to explain
away.
I "Another thing," said the member,
"should not be lost sight of by those
who are urging action by the Repub
lican party on the tariff at .a special
session next spring. The tariff sched
ules are voluminous and contain so
many separate items that we might be
