$49,000 Lopped From

The Personal Property Depart-

amount will be written off by the
) State, on twelve and one-quarter
million dollars worth of Woolworth
stock owned by resident of Luzerne

this large amount of tax was col-
lected annually from persons own-

{Grangers Wa
Deer Damages
Policies Are Adopted
At Ennual Convention
The state would pay for crop
damage caused by deer and bear
if a resolution adopted by the Penn-
sylvania State Grange at its annual
convention in Chambersburg last
week is successful.
In many sections of Pennsylvania,
Luzerne County included, deer are
seriously damaging’ winter grain,
buckwheat and gardens. Other res-
olutions adopgéd:
Advocated an increase in the
amount the “State pays to districts
for State-owned land in those dis-
tricts.
Urged ‘‘strong measures” to con-
trol the use and growth of mari-
juana.
Urged a constitutional amendment
requiring payment of taxes as a
qualification for voting.
Opposed the Teacher Tenure law
prohibiting dismissal of teachers ex-
cept for cause, with a plea that
more authority be given the local
school boards.
Advocated an amendment to the
Wagner Labor Relations Act so that
agriculture may benefit by exemp-
tions.
Expressed fear individual liberty
might be diminished under a cen-
tralized government.
Favored graduated income tax.
A report of the educational com-
mittee attributed rural opposition
to taprooms to inadequate police
protection of those districts. The
same committee opposed ‘socialized
medicine” and urged ‘voluntary
group co-operative plans.”
Approving the report of Secre-
tary Miles Horst, the Grange oppos-
ed compulsory price fixing of farm
products without the consent of the
producer.
Duplication of government ser-
vices was ‘‘deplored” with the sug-
gestion that mergers might elimi-
nate confusion.
