FIGHTING FOR EQUAL TAXES
State Grange Of Pennsylvania Also
Urging the Initiative, Ref

The State Grange Of Pennsylvania
Is putting up a stin fight In behalf
Of equalization Of taxation, the initia.
tive. referendum and recall, and these
subjects are receiving a thorough dis.
cussion in subordinate Oranges all
over the state. to the end that public
sentiment may be aroused In their be.
half.
State Master William T. Creassey
has been a member Of the Pennsyl.
vania legislature for nearly twenty
years and. backed by Grange influence.
has steadily advocated these princi.
pies and has seen them constantly
gaining ground In public sentiment.
In the matter Of an equalization Of
taxation. the State Grange position Is
set fourth In four distinct PROPOSE.
tions:
by relieving real estate OF taxa.
ton by increasing state appropriations
for schools and roads.
"A law to pay to school districts
the minimum salary Of teachers for
the minimum school term.
3.-An appropriation from the state
to townships (having cash road taxi
Of 100 per cent. Of tax raised by town.

tional provision for taxing all classes

that the lure OF the big farm. the fruit

is that all sections OF this republic are

In the last year the price OF produce
has taken great jump and the little
farm Idea has on this account been
especially boosted This straightway
shows what advantages the eastern
farmer has In being surrounded by the
great markets and the numerous rail.

The
National Grange
is UNJUST TO THE FARMERS
Position Of the Grange in Opposition
to the Proposed Canadian Reel
proclty Treaty Explained.

Both the National Grange and prac.
tically all the State Oranges are TAX
ing strong position against the pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity treaty and
by many the exact nature OF the
Grange opposition is not clearly under
stood; and In concise form 1t may be
stated as follows:
The Grange does not oppose any
scheme Of genuine reciprocity. where,
In by some exchange tariff readjust-
ment with other nations there shall
be a reduction Of tariff import duties,
with corresponding and compensat.
Ing reduction on import articles of
common use; provided, however. that
no one class Of producers are required
to bear the entire brunt Of such re-
duction.
In the present instance the proposed
schedule aims to admit on the free
list practically everything the farmer
raises for market, yet provides no ap-
preciable reduction on the articles Of
common purchase by the farmers.
True It appears that the treaty, II
passed. will make the farmer sell his
products under free trade conditions;
yet forcing him still to make all his
purchases upon q continued high pro-
lection basis. It Is against this injus-
tice that the Grange Of the country is
protesting. heartily backed up by fully
95 per cent Of the six million farmers
Of this country.
The Massachusetts State Grange has
just Issued comparative table. with
the deadly parallel" idea. which is
the most comprehensive argument that
has been put out against the Canadian
reciprocity project. In the first COL
umn are shown forty articles Of COM
mon production on the farms Of the
United States, all Of which are to
come in free. II the pending treaty is
ratified. In the other column are
listed forty articles Of common use in
the average farm home, on not one Of
which does the treaty provide any re-
duction, but whose continued tariff
tax ranges from Is per cent. all the
way up to 325 per ton. This vivid
argument In parallel figures. more con-
vincing than pages Of ordinary argu.
ment would be. Is being widely cir
culated all through aachusetts and
copies Of 1t are being posted in all
the Grange halls In the state.
Never has the Grange organization
taken such vigorous and united
stand on any measure as In the case
Of the present reciprocity measure;
and widespread attention has thereby
been attracted to the order in all
points Of the country. as It has pressed
its fight In behalf Of the farmers in.
terests Of the country.
