ANTHRACITE MEN
WANT EQUAL SHARE
Hold Meeting to Discuss Plan to
Secure a "Fifty-fifty"
Division of Taxes

Senators and members from the an
thracite producing counties of the
State met in the Senate caucus room
last night and decided to fight for
half of the anthracite coal tax to be
returned to the district producing the
coal. The present administration
plan is to give one-third,
Senator Catlin, OF Wilkes Barre,
presided and thirty-five legislators
of Lykens, was among those present.
Congressman ]. ]. Casey, Wilkes
Barre. and representatives of the
Scranton and Wilkes Barre boards of
trade spoke on the matter and the
sentiment was unanimous that the
division should be ''fifty-fifty." Mr..
Dawson, Lackawanna. who presented
the administration bill, said he was
not welded to it.
a committee was named to draft
resolutions and each member formed
himself into a committee of one to
get two votes for an equal division
while every one agreed to see the
governor and attorney general and
present views in an effort to win them
over to the "fifty-tlfty' plan
The administrations idea is to get as
much of the tax for road improve
ment as possible and TO take good care
of the anthracite regions highways.
The following petition addressed TO
the governor and the other members
of the House and Senate was unani-
mously adopted and is to be signed
by each OF nine senators and forty
representatives from the anthracite
counties:
I'VE, the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
legislature of the State of Pennsyl
vania representing the anthracite coal
producing counties of the State, in
view of the rapid mining out of the
coal from under the surface of our
counties. with the consequent impov-
erishment of these counties and the
le- sening of their taX-producing power
respectively pray that the ratio of the
tax distribution to our counties as
fixed by the Roney tonnage tax law of
June 81, 1913, shall not be disturbed,
and further petition that the bill now
in the Ways and Means committee,
known as the Dawson bill, which pro-
poses to lay a tonnage tax on anthra-
cite coal, and which said bill proposes
to return to our counties but one
thirC of the tax, shall be amended to
the end that the proportion OF the tax
reserved 10 these counties shall con-
form to that already fixed by statute
namely. fifty per cent
