PLEA FOR THE FARMERS.
Victor E. PiolIct Thinks Their Tax Burden,
should be Observation-Disclosures
of the Provision Relieving Mann.
fncturinR Corporations,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 18.-The dis.
cussion of the single tax question by two
representatives of the United Labor League
consumed large portion of the time OF the
State Revenue Commission this afternoon,
and compelled an evening session to enable
all parties desiring to give their views on
taxation to be heard. The Grangers were
represented by Victor E. Piollet, Worthy
Master Rhone, r. II. Thomas and State
Lecturer Brown, all of whom made earnest
pleas for the equalization of taxation.
Pioliet, who was the principal talker,
described in glowing colors the outrages to
which the farmers were subjected in taxes
discriminating against them and favoriDg
corporations. The farming classes were, he
said, on the verge of ruin, and something
would have to be done to lessen their tax
burdens to save them from disaster. The
country's perpetuity was threatened, as well
as that of the farmers interests. by the
decay in agriculture. The preparation of a
bill was suggested before the next election
to remedy the drawbacks to the farmers
prosperity. The tillers of the soil would
MAKE Intlr power IelL dI Tue election IN mo-
vember. They would no longer be fooled.
He then repeated the oft-told tale
that real estate paid S32, 1000, 900 of
the S41, 900, 900 which was yearly paid in
taxes. The farmers had to pay large bulk
of the taxes, while their best paying prop
erty was only realizing to its owners profit
2 and mills. He wanted the mortgages
of the farmers relieved of taxation and de-
manded the imposition of tax on railroad
and other corporations sufficient in extent
to maintain the schools, public charities
and pay the judicial, legislative and execu-
tive expenses of the State. Then the cor
porations would about be paying their share
OF the taxes He could not see why manu-
featuring corporations should be exempted
from taxation, and Auditor General Nc
Camant remarked that that provision of the
revenue law was unconstitutional.
Colonel Piollet promised to test the con-
stitutionality of the provision indicated if
the Auditor General would back him, to
which sentiment the latter responded that
he was ready TO stand by his declaration.
d. NJ. Anderson, of the United Labor
League, addressed the commission at length
on the propriety Of framing an act recog-
nizing the single tax theory.
