Record Talks to
HOImdeI Farmers.

George L. Record of Jersey City
spoke on the subject Of taxation before
the Farmers grange Of Holndel town.
| ship Friday evening. The farmers Of
Homldel have been for sometime
carrying on an agitation in behalf Of
lower taxes. and invited Mr.. Record
who has for many years made a study
of taxationfrom the standpoint OF both
theory and practise, to discuss this
subject before the grange. Governor
Silzer has written a letter to the Holm
del grange requesting them to submit
to him any sugg estion for improving
the tax law.
Mr.. Record presented some facts in
r elation to taxations which are inter
esting not only to farmers, but to
merchants and business men ever y
where. He said, 1.-The farmers. no W
ever. as well as business men should
remember that any reform In taxation
alone win not bring back general pros
perity. The trouble In this country is
deeper than that. The powerful trusts
which now control our staple indus
tries have built up monopolies by
which they have what is equivalent
to the power of taxation; that is to
saw. the power thru monopoly to
charge excessive prices for the nee
essaries Of life. Some OF these trusts,
like the Coal trust. the Beef trust and
the Steel trust, depend upon railroad
transportation favors denied to COM
petitors, and in the case of the Coal
also upon the possession Of near
" all of the land containing coal.
These trusts directly or Indirectly
control the organizations Of both po--
litical parties in most OF the states OF
the country. We will have no wide
spread and permanent prosperity in
this country until these trusts are de-
stroved. their privileges taken away and
