The concurrent resolution provid-

$4,000 copies of the book entitled
"Thc Birds of Pennsylvania" received
a check in the House, which is inter
preted to mean its defeat. This
work is SO popular among agricultur-
lists and many other people that it was
supposed that the resolution author
izing a further distribution would go
through with rush, but the anticipat-
ed large cost is having its effect on the
members. The 10000 copies printed
under the authority of the Legislature
of two years ago cost the State about
$o4,ooo. 1t is said that DR.. Warren
who prepared the book, has decided
to utilize it as a private enterprise in

House had it, and upon motion of Mr..
Quay the new fee is only applicable

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

MEssRs EDIToRS:
read Gov. Pattison's message pub
lished in the COLUMBIAN with great
deal of pleasure. 1t has the right
ring in favor of fair, honest, and up
right legislation, just what we farmers
and taxpayers repeatedly asked and
plead for, yet all our petitions were in
vain. The result Of the late election
shows that we are bound to be heard,
and receive fair, honest and just legis-
lation, not such as has made the rich
richer and the poor poorer. Railroad
companies and corporations have too
long been favored with this kind of
class legislation at our expense. The
repeal Of the fence law compelling us
to fence railroads at our own expense
or have our stock killed without re-
dress is unfair. 1t is claimed that
this was brought about with Doodle
and free railroad passes to members
of the Legislature. TO know just
where we farmers stand permit me to
ask Messrs. Krickbaum and Tewks-
bury whether they are under any obli-
cations to any railroad company and
whether they ride to and from Harris
burg on free passes.
Please, gentlemen. let us hear from
you, and you will not only oblige me
but every person who endorses Gov
Pattson's message,
Respectfully yours,
b. A. HARTMAN,

DC. Searching the "Auditor Gener-
ais Report" for the year 1888, we
find that the Berwick Water Com
pany' paid state tax Of $45,oo, on
corporation stock and the First
National Bank Berwick $4,000, on
"Bank Stock" AT 3 mill tax the
former represents $4,000 and the
after $4,000. We failed to discover
"rhe Jackson & Woodin Mfg CO..
in the list of corporations in the Audi
tor Generals report as paying state
tax direct to the State Treasury. hence
the total of all values that we can find
on record for taxable purposes of all
kinds for said borough of Berwick, is,
$I,2Io, o,6oo-several hundred thousand
dollars less than the annual product
of "The Jackson 81 Wooden Mfg. Co."
| The borough'of Berwick has a greater
+ capacity for producing wealth than the
combined interests of the agricultural
industry OF Columbia county and is
practically exonerated from taxation.
Practically exonerated. did we say2
| No, sir, not exonerated neither. We
discover that those in moderate cir
cumstances and poorer classes are
burthened with crushing taxes, no
no less than the farmers of the rural
districts. The statistics of the School
Report for the year 1886 shows that a
school tax was levied for that year of
$45S7, ,6o-1ob mills for school and
mills for building purposes And in
the year 1880 school tax of $5o7o,65
was levied, 7 mills for school and mill
for building. These are crushing rates
for the poor, but eXonerative for the
rich of that place under such iniqui-
tous inequalities of valuations for
county and municipal purposes. If
The Jackson & Woodin Mfg. Co.,
and their interests were assessed and
taxed on an equally with real estate
| and according to their remunerative
valuation as represented in Mr.. Jack
sons biography the county tax of that
| corporation at present rates would ex-
ceed $4,000, and their school tax
would be accordingly

P.S.
From business stand point, a
property, place, business, occupation,
profession or thing becomes valuable
only in proportion as 1t becomes prof
liable. Valuation for taxable purposes
should be rated accordingly. If it can
be proven that the farmer pays no
more than his just share of taxes from
the above principle he will be satisfied
All the farmer asks is an equal distri-
button Of pecuniary advantages based
upon Equalization of Remunerative
Valuation for all taxable purposes.
