Shavertown, Pa,
Dear Sirs:—
i 3
Shavertown is growing in spite of
the depression. Several residences
were completed last year, Three fine
homes are being finished now; and
four are in process of erection. Every
Shavertown citizen should favor a re-
tractive streets and public safety.
Shavertown is a village of residence,
no mines, no factories. We have three
church organizations and two others
just on border lines. It is asserted
that a borough would necessitate many
additional officers with increased taxa-
tion. Dallas has been a borough more
than fifty years and does not pay its
burgess any salary. Its solicitors sal-
ary is $100. The secretary is also the
secretary of the Beard of health and
prepares the tax duplicates for $150.
The health officer gets at present ten
dollars per month. A policeman gets
$7.50 per month. This is necessitated
largely because there is only one thor-
oughfare through the borough. Shav-
ertown paid last year to the Kingston
township supervisors for attorney $37.-
50, for auditors$ 35.50, and $156.00 for
other overhead. The supervisors ex-
pefhise would not be charged to the
He would
be paid his wages and would be amen-
dable to the borough council for his
designated work. We are now paying
eleven mills tax for roads and lights.
Seven mills tax spent only in Shaver-
town would give us better roads, more
lights and more than pay all neces-
sary borough expenses, i

Hat in hand, the second wealthiest State in the Union |
has continued to beg alms at Washington WHILE MAKING
NO HONEST EFFORT TO HELP ITS POOR.
The State of Pennsylvania. corrupt in politics’ and |;
: ~ shamefully backward in its legislation, has too long been
3 ruled by a clique of venal politicians at the service of pri-|
vate interests rather than public welfare.
~ Our ppliticians are competent enough for the routine
tasks of handing out boodle to unscrupulous big business,
and blocking social progress. But they have neither the
jprains nor the humanity to handle the present crisis.
If Mr. Grundy’s Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion, or General Atterbury’s Pennsylvania Railroad, or Mr.
Mellon’s vast enterprises needed protection, the money
would be found, action would be quick, legal quibbles would
be brushed aside.
But since the need is not that of the pewerful who pull
to the ballot box, THE LEGISLATURE IS NOT INTERES-
‘TED.
Politicians well fed at the public trough find it a little
difficult, perhaps a trifle boring, to worry about mass star-,
‘vation and misery.
” Servants of plutocracy to an extent almost unparalled
: in any other State of the Union, our political leaders haven't
time to'worry about the needs of the common people, nor
the intelligence to sense the dangerous consequences pos-
gible.
: One man in the Vare Organization, Senator Salus, hon-
estly tried to do his bit for the jobless—but he quit in dis-
- gust when the gang wouldn’t back him up.
; Pinchot and the Organization have been busy belabor-
i ing each other with wordy bladders, like low comedians in
a burlesque show.
' Both have been quick to mak» political capital out of
the other’s shortcomings, but neith~d has proposed to raise
more than $10,000,000 a year, although $75, 000,000 to $125,-
000,000 is needed.
The Governor, exploiting a liberalism that grows more
insincere every year, has talked eloquently of the people’s
needs, but he still refuses to give the poor a nickel from the
$104,000,000 highway fund that means political patronage
for the rural lieutenants of the Pinchot-Grundy combine.
The fact that the liberal, Pinchot, is allied politically
with the arch-reactionary, Grundy, is evidence enough of
how little may be expected from that quarter. -
The Philadelphia Organization, anxious to avoid enact-
ment of the Pinchot program (which would deprive them of
tax collection patronage), is now striking a noble pose as
~ friend of the poor.
* Auditor General Waters, never yet very excited about
the plight of the unemployed, suddenly leaps into the lime-
light with a demand that the $14,000,000 available from the
Dorrance estate be appropriated immediately for relief.
Since that $14,000,000 already figures in the Pinchot
‘budget for the biennium, this appropriation would give the
Organization a splendid excuse to prune Pinchot followers
from the State payroll.
Whatever his motive, Waters’ idea is a good one.
all means use that $14,000,000 for relief.
Both sides are exploiting the relief issue for political
advantage, BUT NEITHER HAS AN ADEQUATE PRO-
GRAM FOR RELIEF.
Neither has the courage to declare for a major diver-
sion of funds from highway building, an outrageous lux-
wry in times like these.
i Neither will fight for an emergency income tax to raise
funds | for, the jobless.
