THE CORPORATIONS
PAY THE TAXES
Under Republican Rule the Burden
Is Placed On Them.
t
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 apprcach-
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
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
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. Money 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 the Demo-
cratic party in time of peace; and even
with this enormous tax burden it left
a debt of over $40,000,000 in 1860, 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 tha
misapprehension «uat 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 sun of money under the head
of “State and County Tax.” The taxes
paid to the various local collectors, |
under the designation “State
County Tax,” go directly into the coun-
ty treasury for the exclusive use cf the |
county authorities.
and
|
|
|
The constant aim of Republican leg- |
islation has been to relieve the indi-
vidual taxpayer. Prior to 1883 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-
ijeved 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 liften 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 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 home-owner in
the commonwealth is correspondingly
benefitted.
. By the Revenue Act of June 8th,
1891, three-fourth of the personal prop-
erty tax is returned to the respective
gounties. 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 $2,572,675.00.
Under the act of June 9th, 1891, the
1iqGor licenses were taken from the
state 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 $2,000,000 annually.
In addition to all these things the
state pays the entire cost of the judi-
eilary 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 state 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 1st, 1901,
was $17,727,432. Of this amount $10,-
807,433 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 upon money at in-
terest, from which the state collected
$2,563,375, as stated above. This in
reality is not a state but a local tax,
collected by the state and returned to
the various municipalities. The aggra-
gate revenue of the commonwealth for
1901 after deducting the personal tax
refunded, was $15,154,757, of which
amount the corporations paid $10,307,-
433; $2,452,201 was derived 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 von 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 Workingman.
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 11 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 tne 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 I was in
favor of the resolution. I was in favor
of the investigation. I meant what I
said then. I 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 commonwealth. 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.”
