KEYSTONE PATRONS.
Pennsylvania Has More Than
$4,000 In GIT Oranges.

Hon. w. T. Greasy Succeeds Hon. W..
r. Hill as State Master-lmportan
Measures Adopted at the Recent
State Grange Meeting at Altoona.
One of the greatest grange organiza-
tions in the United States is that of
Pennsylvania, which held its annual
meeting at Altoona recently. State
Master Hill returned from his trip
abroad to attend the international in
stitute Of agriculture at Rome. Italy,
in time to attend his state grange meet
ing. In his annual address he remark
ed that there had been great progress
in the state during the past year in
grange work. Showing the progress
made by the grange the past ten years,
$4,000 dues is now paid to the national
grange, whereas ten years ago It was
less than $1,000.

A Hiah Rseommsnda atom.

The National Stockman in a recent
issue says this of the grange: "The
national grange is true representa-
tive Of rural interests. 1t has right
to speak with authority on many sub
jects Of vital Importance to farmers.
1t is a more conservative body than 1t
was thirty years ago and accomplishes
more by reason of conservation. Ger
tain great corporations would not
agree that its demands and utter
ances are other than radical, but that
is a highly unimportant fact. They
are reasonably conservative in the es-
timation of the great mass Of wealth
producers and thus have weight. The
American people will not put their
trust in any reckless radicalism, but
want leadership that is sincere in it's
interest with plain, hardworking, pru.
dent people, who want a square deal.
The grange stands for that as 1t un-
derstands 1t, making very few mis-
takes, and 1t is gaining In influence"

new fields. But little progress has
been made in the forming of a life
insurance company, all propositions
seeming to be too expensive or intri
cate. They said that the grange banks
in Pennsylvania had been success
and that the reports from all Of them
were encouraging.
The legislative committee reaffirned
the position it had previously taken
in favoring the township road law We
toed by the governor. This law re-
quired that the state should pay so
cents for every dollar of cash tax
raised by the townships and abolished
the 81 per capita tax. The committee
believed that the state highway depart
ment should be reorganized and the
present law be made more flexible to
suit varying conditions. Some method
should be found to reduce the cost of
highways if the townships must share
the expense. 1t favored no eXpendi-
lures of state moneys that were not
equally distributed among the coun-
ties, and especially so when a $4,000
auto owner pays only So tax and the
owner of a $4,000 home pays $6O
The committee expressed itself as
unalterably opposed to involving the
taxpayer in an interest bearing bonded
debt. On the school question it said
that township high school should be
established in every district and agri-
culture and manual training should
be taught in these schools. Among the
speakers at the public session was
Hon. Willet Hays, assistant secretary
Of agriculture.
On the refusal Of Hon. W. +. Hill to
become state master Hon. w. T. Crea-
sy of Catawissa was elected to that
Office. E. B. Dorsett of Mansfield was
| Thompsontown was reelected secre-
tary.
Among the resolutions adopted were
these: Indorsing compulsory teaching
of agriculture in township schools; fa-
voring the enlargement of the existing
transportation facilities. 1t was de-
clded to make no change in the names
of grange banks, but no discrimination
should be made in favor of or against
any particular bank. Another resolu-
ton provided for local option depart
ment, which will be in charge of Rev.
J. w. Johnston, but which is to be sup
ported entirely by voluntary contribu-
tions, and $500 was raised immediate
ly for the work. This plan, while 1t
gives the emphatic moral support Of
the Order to local option. does not sub
ordinate the demands for other tenn
perance legislation. The newly elect
ed officers were installed at the last
