GRANGE HALLS USEFUL

More than 500 of all the subordi-
nate Oranges in Wisconsin own their
own halls, which in many cases are
genuine community centers where
the social and educational activities
of the various localities are carried
out. Many of these halls are also
used as places Of(religious worship
and in numerous Wisconsin in
stances, local Sunday schools have
been organized and supervised by
Grange workers. Numberless dra-
matte events, competitive debates,
farmers Institutes, meetings of 10
cal shipping associations, farm bur
eau conferences and similar gather
ings have also put the Grange halls
to practical use.

REVISE TAXATION PLANS

Quite a revision in the nations
taxation program is involved in the
demand of the National Grange,
which insists that hereafter "all
property sold by the national gov
ernment to private parties shall be
subject to all state and local taxes"
This proposes to bring into the tax
alton class thousands of acres of
timber holdings, sold to private par
ties at low prices and on the defer
red payment plan, which are now es-
Gaping taxation, often for long
terms of years. The Grange vigor-
ously condemns this tax exemption
as lntiicting great hardship upon
other taxable property, often in clos7
proximity to that which goes tax
free.
The largest subordinate Grange
the United States is at Hoult3
Maine, with a membership Of o
HOO, and conducting a Grange st
which does over $1OO,O 900 Of busln
each year and is the largest merrl
tile tile enterprise in that end
