Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-18

The Springfield Republican speaking
recently of the trusts and of how they
can not but be regarded by that large
body OF the American people--the farm
ers, namely-upon whose prosperity,
more than that Of any other class, the
well-being of the nation rests, but who,
especially during the past half-dozen
years, with scarcely no relief, have
been feeling the grind of hard times,
spite of all the false and foolish things
proclaimed to the contrary, says:
The agricultural classes can not but
view the spread of monopoly in mining
and manufacturing and transportation
with the gravest apprehensions. 1t
seems to be impossible that they can
effectively organize by way of protec-
tion or retaliation. The trust issue is
certain to stir American politics to the
depths, and tariff which protects
trusts, but can not possibly protect the
farmer in his staple lines of production,
Will not pass without question.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-18

retain to the state more than the
amount the governor has stricken from
the schools, but he dare not raise his
hand to stay that illegal outflow of the
public funds.
IL the taxes on corporations were col
lected in the manner set forth by law
the revenue from that source would
annually be treblcd. Governor Stone
and his appointees are not enforcing
the tax law in the manner and spirit of
the acts of assembly governing such
matters. Hundreds of corporations in
Pennsylvania 60 scot free every year
as far as state taxes are concerned an
as many others pay few paltry dollars
where they are actually indebted for
thousands.
Ii the collected revenues of the state
do not allow the schools to receive what
was appropriated to them, the fault is
Governor Stones. II he wore man
enough to do his duty in striking at
unlawful expense and collecting the
debts due from corporations, the states
chief executive would not be compelled
to demean himself by doubly insulting
the people of his state-frst, by cutting
down the school appropriation; second,
by excusing his action on the ground
that he does not want to offend the
corporations by enforcing the laws.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-18

recognized as one of the bulwarks of
the state. That the schools would
have been as safe under the care of
that grand old statesman, George A.
jerks, as under any other man in the
state was not denied during the guber-
material contest, but Stone grasped at
every straw which might gain him a
vote and the cry to protect the public
schools was popular catch phrase with
the Republican public and private
workers-and it was not without its
effect.
How insincere this claim was is
shamefully shown in the action OF the
governor in cutting down the appro-
pration made to the schools by the
legislature to the extent of one million
dollars. The preferred excuse for his
action-that the revenues Of the state
will not permit the whole appropriation
is as ridiculous as it is false, and
Governor Stone, in standing sponsor
for that assertion, writes himself down
either dishonest or ignorant-which, il
is immaterial at present.
The governor is in a position to know
better than any other man in this state
that the revenues Of Pennsylvania
should be sufficiently large enough
under the present laws to permit the
legislature to appropriate and pay
double the amount that has been grant
ed to the schools. The cutting off OF
unearned salaries of legislative and
department employees would alone

CowardIy Stab at the Schools.

1t Is not q year since the orators were
shouting to support the public schools
by voting for Stone for governor,
pamphlets were being mailed by the
thousands to members OF patriotic
societies and hundreds Of men were
sent out to work secretly in spreading
this claim. Many votes were captured
last fall on the issue that the public
schools would be safe in Stones hands,
for the public schools are rightfully
