“TAXES! TAXES! TAXES!
Tax is one of the fundamental factors of government for without taxes the wheels of Govern-
chaos'and confusion would result. Just and equable taxes are paid
without protest but unjust and unequal taxes are strenuously resented by the avera:c citizer. It
was unjust taxes that caused the Revolutionary war and history records many struggles with the
ballot and with the sword on the taxation question. ny
At this time the taxation question is of prime importance for if the Grand Old Keystone State
shall forge to the front of the commonwealths of the U. S. then we must reform our tax laws and
build a practical and sensible foundation upon which all the people are treated alike.
THE TAXES OF PENNSYLVANIA FARMERS AND REAL ESTATE HOLDERS HAVE
INCREASED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.
Let us take a look at the tax situation as it exitsts in Pennsylvania today.
The farmer and the real estate holder pays an average of twenty-eight mills on the dollar on
the assessed valuation while the corporations pay an average of four mills on the dollar on the
assessed valuation. :
It is estimated that the Corporations of Pennsylvania save forty millions a year that should be
paid in taxes. The Farmers and Real Estate holders pay seven and one half times as much tax as
the big corporations and WHY this great inequality of taxation. In Ohio the farmer and corpora-
tion pay both the same millage namely eight mills on the dollar of assessed valuation.
In Indiana six mills, in Iowa five mills, in New York twelve mills, in Nebraska four mills—
Why those taxes any way—-To pay high salaries to an army of office holders, many of whom
labor two to four hours per day and receive $125 per month to one thousand dollars per month. As
an example the Bigelow highway department expended on the roads five million; and nine million
for salaries. Why do our sister states have a lower tax rate? First: The officials have lower sal-
aries, in Nebraska the Governor receives $4,000 per year, in Ohio $6,000 per year while in Pennsyl-
vania the Governor costs the taxpayers from seventeen to twenty-one thousand dollars a year. In
our sister States $5,000 pays for the same service that costs tiie Pennsylvania Taxpayer $15,000.
When all this is known why is it not remedied; for the plain reason that the REPUBLICAN party
has controlled the government of Pennsylvania for over forty years.
The history of all political parties is that when they are in power . too long they plan to create
offices at high salaries to strengthen their hold on the Government, for they argue the more office ©
holders the greater the pull that can be exerted when election time comes around. 3
The office holder is expected and invariably does all possible to keep his party in power, first A
to save himself, and second to save those higher up and who pays the freight—not Jones—but the
farmer and real estate holder. The Pennsylvania Senate for twenty years has been in session for
three purposes: First to create offices, second to raise the officers’ salaries, third to do the bidding
of the Big Boss. The House of Representatives has passed fair and equable tax laws for many
sessions, but the Senate turns them down bodily because the Senate is controlled by the Big Cor-
porations. This hag gone on until it costs the State thirty-six million a year for salaries and ex-
penses. Has the time not arrived ‘to change all this? YES and the remedy is vote for the Wash-
ington party candidates who are all pledged to support lower and more equable taxation. Mr.
VOTER, it is up to you. DO YOUR DUTY.
