Flrjiires From Official Sources Which
Csnnit Se Cenied The Corporation
Taxes Help Every Township and
Villa-e In the State Under the Re
publican Cystem of Finances.
llirricburp, Oct 14. Here is a state
ment that is at once startling and
EtrtMn?. It comes from official sources:
"Thero Is not a single county In
Pennsylvania which does not get di
rectly back from th6 state treasury
more money than the state collects
from all iU citizens, excepting so far
as come of them may be indirectly
taxed as stockholders In banks, rail
roads and other corporations. The
largest excess repaid to the counties
goes to the less wilthy ones having
the smallest proportion of property
subject to state tax in relation to their
population."
SOME REPUBLICAN FACTS.
This is a sample of what the Repub
lican party has done and is doing for
tho people of Pennsylvania. It is only
one reason why Judge Pcnnypaeker
should be elected and the Democrats
defeated, because they left a state debt
ot $40,000,000 to be paid off by the other
follows.
The following figures are taken from
official records here in Harrlsburg.
They are given for the purpose of ex
hibiting more clearly the fact that the
people get back more than they pay
into the state treasury. J low is l
done? The corporations pay the taxes.
What the Individual citizen pnys Into
the state treasury is for liquor license,
mercantile tax, tax on money at In
terest, etc.
The first column In tho following ta
ble represents tho totnl amount paid
into the Btate treasury from each
county from all sources, Including per
sonal property tax, tax on municipal
loans, collateral inheritances, fees of
public offices, writs, wills, deeds, etc.,
mercantile, liquor, billiard room, brok
ers, peddlers and other kind of taxes.
The second column Includes the money
returned to each county from the state
in the shape of salary of judges, appro
priations for hospitals and other insti
tutions and for schools. The figures
are for the year 1900.

From this it appears that there is no
county In Pennsylvania which pays in
to the state treasury as much In taxes
as it receives back in taxes collected
by the state to be turned into the coun
ty treasury for the purpose of. reducing
local taxation. In other words, under
the state tax laws enacted by the Re
publican party In Pennsylvania, the
corporations pay the entire expense of
carrying on the state government and
pay Into the state treasury $7,481,484
besides, which Is returned back to the
eountiea.
PAYJ1B TAXES
Under Republican Rule the Burden
Is Placed Oa Them.
CITIZENS PAY NO 8TATE TAX
Republicans Have Paid Off Over $40,
000,000 of State Debt Left By the
; Democrats, and Now Pennsylvania
' Is Free From Debt Some Figures
For Democratic Shouters to Study.
Every home owner In Pennsylvania
has a vital interest in the approach
ing election. It is not only a question
of Democrat or Republican, ot Paul
son or Pennypacker, but it Is a matter
ot dollars and cents to every owner ot
a foot of land in the commonwealth.
It waa the Democratic party that
plunged the state into a debt of $40,
000,000 that has required forty years
of Republican rule to lift. Republi
cans should not forget this.
And yet in spite ot this fact the Re
publican system of state finances has
been the subject of the most persis
tent attacks from its enemies. Demo
cratic leaders when they assail the Re
publican financial system in Pennsyl
vania know that they are deliberately
misrepresenting the facts. Unfortu
nately the public at large docs not seem
to' have a very clear idea of the meth
od' by which state taxes are assessed
and collected.
Undor the wlso and beneficent legls
lation ot the Republican party In the
past thirty-five years, the burdens ot
Btate taxation have been lifted from the
shoulders of the individual and placed
upon the corporations ot the state.
CITIZENS PAY NO STATE TAX.
An Impression prevails among the
people that they are taxed for all the
appropriations made to the public
schools, charitable institutions, the Jo
dietary, legislative expenses, the now
capltol, etc., etc. As a matter of tact,
our citizens pay no state tax except a
liquor llcenso tax, and one mill on the
dollar where they own personal securi
ties, such as bonds, mortgages, etc., the
tax on the same being four mills, three
of which are returned to the respective
counties. Msney for all expenses of
the state comes from the corporations.
In direct contrast to this has been the
attitude of the Democratic party and
Its legislation. Before the Republican
party came into power all real estate,
occupations over $200.00 per annum,
cattle, etc., were taxed by tho Demo
cratlc party in time of pence; and even
with this enormous tax burden It loft
a debt of over $10,000,000 in I860, to
be provided for and lifted by the Re
publican .party. And tho Republican
party has redeemed the credit of thr
state; it stands to-day before the world
free from debt.
MISLEADING TAX RECEIPTS.
The manner in which the various
collectors of taxes of the common
wealth have their bills , aud receipts
printed Is largely responsible for tho
misapprehension that exists in the
minds of the people upon this question
of state taxation. In almost every in
stance Instead of having a sepnrnto
Item for state taxes to bo used where
tho porson has money at Interest sub
ject to taxation, and not otherwise,
almost all bills that aro sent out by the
tax collectors have one Item entitled
"State and County Tax." Opposite
this head Is placed tho amount of the
county tax, and tho person receiving
the bill is naturally under the Impres
sion that the amount charged re pre.
sents a combination of state and county
taxes, and if questioned upon this point
the answer is always tho production of
a tax receipt showing tho payment of
a certain sum of money under tho head
of "State and County Tax." The taxes
paid to the various local collectors,
under tho designation "State and
C'liinly Tax," go directly into the coun
ty treasury for tho exclusivo use of tho
county authorities.
The constant aim of Republican leg
islation has been to relieve the Indi
vidual taxpayor. Prior to 1883 the in
digent insane In tho asylums of the
slate were wholly supported by the
various local municipalities. This was
a burden upon the individual taxpayer.
As the state debt was reduced under
the judicious management, it was be
lieved that tho commonwealth could
afford to assist the counties In the sup
port and maintenance of their unfor
tunate poor. By tho Act of Juno 13th,
li83, the expense of tho care and treat
ment of tho Insane poor ot the state
was equally divided between the state
and the soveral counties. Tue amount
paid by tho state since 1885 undor this
act amounts to $10,525,000, more than
$c;6,000 annually.
HELPING THE TOWNSHIPS.
Just as tho burden of taxation has
been liften to the shoulders of the state
to that extent have tho townships, cit
ies and counties been aided and over
burdened real estate owners assisted.
In the two Items of indigent insane and
public schools, the state pays out of
Its treasury nearly $8,000,000 a year.
To that extent every ,mr in i

Dy the Revcnuo Act of June 8th.
1891, three-fourth of the personal prop
erty tax Is returned to the respective
counties. The amount returned for the
year euding November 30th, 1895, at
the closo of the Democratic adminis
tration was $1,575,01:). 70. The amount
of personal ta.r returned to the several
counties for tho year ending Novem
ber 30th. 1901, was $2,572,675.00.
Under the net of June 8th, 1S31, tho
liquor licenses were' taken from the
Btate and given to tho different local
itles. This was an additional benefit
to the taxpayer because prior to that
all liquor licenses has been paid into
the state treasury. They amount to
about $2,000,000 annually.
In addition to all these things the
state pays the entire cost of tho Judi
ciary which amounts to upwards of
half a million annually.
INTERESTING FIGURES.
Tho following is a partial list of the
amount paid out of the treasury of the
state for tho benefit of tho different
localities and municipalities:
Amount paid annually since
1SS3. for the indigent In
sane $058,000
Amount paid annually for
common schools 7,015,720
Amount of personal tax re
turned 2,572,675
Liquor licenses diverted

treasuries 2,000,000
Amount paid to support tho
Judiciary, annually 052,1162
The amount paid annually
by tho stato for local pur
poses $12,899,057
Annual saving on account of
tho exemption from taxa
tion of real estate, horses
and cattle, and trades,
occupations and profes
sions 7.000,000
Total annunl saving to tho
respective localities, an
nually, since the Repub
licans assumed tho con
trol of tho stato affairs.. $19,899,057
Prior to the passago of tho Act of
1885 the whole amount of moneyed
capital returned for tho purposo of
state taxation was but $145,000,000. In
that year, even under the Imperfect
working of tho act, the amount re
turned for taxation was $395,000,000,
an increase ot $250,000,000. According
to the auditor general's report of 1901
the amount of tho four mill tax on per
sonal property amounted to $2,563,375.
02, and of this tax there was returned
to the several counties $2,572,675.42.
These facts and figures speak for
themselves. They are more impres
sive than any words could possibly be
in demonstrating what the Republican
porty has done in the way of lifting the
burden of state taxation from the
shoulders of the small home owner and
farmer.

dent, I stated yesterday, when this
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on mines and mining, that I was in
favor of tho resolution. 1 was in favor
of tho Investigation. I meant what I
said then. I mean it now. If those
people want investigation, I am per
fectly willing to glvo It to them in a .
business way. I desire to disclaim any
factional idea as controlling this Im
portant question. This affects the
homes and interests of labor classes in
this comonwealth. I do not wish to
pose as a demagogue, but if anything
can bo done In any way to alleviate
any suffering, or correct any evils that
may arise, I believe that it should ta
done."
