THE CORPORATIONS
PAY II TAXES
Under Republican Rule the Burden
Is Placed On Them.
CITIZENS PAY NO STATE 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, of Patti
son or Pennypacker, but it is a matter
of dollars and cents to every owner of
a foot of land in the commonwealth.
It was 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 of 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 does not seem
to have a very clear idea of the meth
od by which state taxes are assessed
and collected.
Under the wise and beneficent legis
lation of the Republican party in the
past thirty-five years, the burdens of
state taxation have been lifted from the
shoulders of the individual and placed
upon the corporations of the state.
CITIZENS PAY NO STATE TAX.
! An impression prevails among the
i people that they are taxed for all the
' appropriations made to the public
' schools, charitable institutions, the ju
diciary, legislative expenses, the new
capitol, etc., etc. As a matter of fact,
our citizens pay no state tax except a
; liquor license tax, and one mill on the
j dollar where they own personal securi-
I ties, such as bonds, mortgages, etc., the
j tax on the same being four mills, three
I of which are returned to the respective
counties. Money for all expenses of
j 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 the Demo
! cratic party in time of peace; and even
i with this enormous tax burden it left
a debt of over $40,000,000 in 18G0, to
be provided for and lifted by the Re
publican party. And the Republican
party has redeemed the credit of the
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 and receipts
printed is largely responsible for the
misapprehension mat exists in the
minds of the people upon this question
of state taxation. In almost every in
stance Instead of having a separate
item for state taxes to be used where
the person has money at interest sub
ject to taxation, and not otherwise,
almost all bills that are sent out by the
tax collectors have one item entitled
"State and County Tax." Opposite
this head is placed the amount of the
county tax, and the person receiving
the bill is naturally under the impres
sion that the amount charged repre
sents a combination of state and county
taxes, and if questioned upon this point
the answer is always the production of
a tax receipt showing the payment of
a certain sum of money under the head
of"State and County Tax." The taxes
paid to the various local collectors,
under the designation "State and
County Tax," go directly into the coun
ty treasury for the exclusive use of the
county authorities.
The constant aim of Republican leg
islation has been to relieve the indi
vidual taxpayer. Prior to 188.1 the in
digent insane in the asylums of the
state 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 the commonwealth could
afford to assist the counties in the sup
port and maintainance of their unfor
tunate poor. By the Act of June 13th,
1883, the expense of the care and treat
ment of the insane poor of the state
was equally divided between the state
and the several counties. The amount
paid by the state since 1885 under this
act amounts to $10,525,000, more than
$650,000 annually.
HELPING THE TOWNSHIPS.
Just as the burden of taxation has
been llften to the shoulders of the state
to that extent have the townships, cit
ies and counties been aided and over
burdened real estate owners assisted.
In th» 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 home-owner in
the commonwealth is correspondingly
benefitted.
By the Revenue Act of June Bth
1891, three-fourth of the personal prop
erty tax is returned to the respective
counties. The amount returned for the
year ending November 30th, 1895, at
the close of the Democratic adminis
tration was $1,575,019.70. The amount
of personal tax returned to the several
counties for the year ending Novem
ber 30th, 1901, was $2,572,67. r . 0-
Under the act of June 9th. 'B9l. the
liquor licenses were taken from the
etate and given to the different local
ities. 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 $1i,000,000 annually.
in addition to all these things the
state pays the entire cost of the judi
ciary which amounts to upwards of
half a million annually.

Prior to the passage of the Act of
1885 the whole amount of moneyed
capital returned for the purpose of
state taxation was but $145,000,000. In
that year, even under the imperfect
working of the act, the amount re
turned for taxation was $395,000,000,
an increase of $250,000,000. According
to the auditor general's report of 1901
the amount of the 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 siate taxation from the
shoulders of the small home owner and
farmer.
WHAT CORPORATIONS PAY.
The total revenue of the state dur
ing the year ending December Ist, 1901,
was $17,727,432. Of this amount $lO,-
307,433 was derived directly from the
corporations by the various forms of
taxation imposed upon these artificial
bodies.
The only direct taxation affecting the
individual was that Money at in
terest, from which tii ■ ie collected
$2,563,575, as stated r.bov . This in
reality is not a st:u~ b'H a local tax,
collected by the state ar.d returned to
the various municipalities. The aggra
gate revenue of the commonwealth for
1901 alter deducting the p isonal tax
refunded, was $15,154,757, of which
amount the corporations paid $10,307,-
433; $2,452,201 was deiived from licen
ses; $1,232,082 from the tax on collat
eral inheritance. These three items
amounted to $13,991,716, leaving the
sum of $1,163,041 received from a va
riety of sources none of them affecting
the individual citizen.
It will be seen therefore, that out
of the entire revenue of the common
wealth the only portion that could be
contorted into a direct tax upon the
citizen was that part of the money at
interest not returned to the municipal
ities amounting to one-fourth of the to
tal collected from that source and
amounting to the insignificant sum of
about 10 cents per annum for each per
son."
BROWN'S LABOR RECORD
He Has Always Defended the Rights
of the Worklngman.
Hon. W. M. Brown, candidate for
lieutenant governor, has always been
the friend of labor. He is a self-made
man himself, having been a sheep
herder on the plains when he was 15
years of age.
On March II 1897 (while a member
of the senate), on the discussion of
the resolution to investigate the indus
trial conditions in the bituminous coal
region, Senator Brown offered the fol
lowing amendment:
"That a committee of three of the
house and two of the senate be ap
pointed to investigate the anthracite
coal regions under uie resolution, and
a committee of three of the house and
two of the senate be appointed to in
vestigate the bituminous coal region,
with the recommendation that mem
bers of both houses be selected from
the standing committees of both houses
on mines and mining."
Later, in the discussion on the same
resolution, Mr. Brown said: "Mr. Presi
dent, I stated yesterday, when this
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on mines and mining, that 1 was in
favor of the resolution. I was in favor
of the investigation. I meant what I
said then. 1 mean it now. If these
people want investigation, I am per
fectly willing to give 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 comon ivealth. I do not wish to
pose as a demagogue, but if anything
can be done in any way to alleviate
any suffering, or correct any evils that
may arise, I believe that it should be
done."

Gave Cuticle to S«ve Brother.
Amos Williams, of Point, township,
Northumberland county, underwent a
heroic ordeal last week in the Mary
land General Hospital, at Baltimore, 1
to save the life of bis brother, David.
Eight pieces of skin, each an inch and
a half in width and twelve inches in
length were taken from his thighs and
grafted on David's right side. Both
patients are getting along nicely and
the surgeons think that David's re
covery is assured. The brothers occupy
beds side by side in the hospital
On September 2 David,who operates
an electric crano in the bloom mill of
the Maryland Steel Company,at Spar
row's Point, Maryland, was caught in
the big cog wheels and terribly crush
ed. His ribs were splintered, several
pieces puncturing the lungs. He was
hurried to tho hospital, but tho surg
eons gave no hope for his recovery.
His wonderful vitality carried him
through and he began to get better.
The torn flesh, from tho hip to under
the arm, would not heal so the opera
tion of skin grafting was decided up
on.
Amos, who lives on a farm between
this city and Northumberland and who
is strong and healthy, was written to
and consented to give his flesh for the
sake of bringing about the recovery
of his brother. It will be several weeks
before he will be able to leave the
hospital. Even then he will have to
remain in Baltimore and goto the
hospital to have the wounds made by
tho knife of tho surgeon dressed until
they are entirely healed David Will

about five years ago ii•• is well known
