Editor of the Pennsylvania Road Builder Says Legislature Will Give Governor 'Opportunity to Prove Sin¬ cerity and Tru'th  of  His Statements.
P'oar Governor;
In an article i.ssued to tho press un¬ der your name. May 19, you said: "I>.ay after V''i-.v^ weok after week, during the four-month session of tbe l^pgislaturo, I begged. Implored arid de¬ m.andod that the local ta.xes on real estate   be   reduced   substantially.
"The chief plank in my local tax re¬ duction platfoi^m was the t.aking over by the cnmomtnvealth for mainten.ance and construction. 53,000 miles of sec¬ orid class townsblp roads which were not on tho state sjT?tem. This meana the permanent lifting of $n.nno.noo a year frnm tbo shoulders of the hard- est-hlt-taxpaycr In Pennsylvania — the farmer."
Tour 53,000' mile bill was not .accept¬ ed by legislature primarily liecause opiionents to the proposal ch.arged that your Intorost irt the bill was not In reality tax relief for tbe faiTPer, but rather your desire to control the political p.atronage of the thou.sands of road workers that would be hired by your Pepartment of Highways which would give you a political ma¬ chine, financed by the t.axpayers' mon¬ ey, iCxtonding into everjy voting dis¬ trict Irt rural Pennsylvanin. Whether or not tbere are foimdations for the ch.arges remains to bo soen, but this. it is generally understood, was the real reason for tho defeat of the 53,- fiOf) mile road bill.
AVhilo the lecrislature did not pass your fl>ill. it did, however, pass two other, bills that will give you an op¬ portunity to prove both the sincerity and truth of your statements made on numerous occasions to tbe legis¬ lature and tho press, declaring your interest In your road iirogram was for the benefit of tho taxpayer. A'ou refused to acknowledge the two bills passod would consequently prove the tr,uth of the arguments of your op- poncnts tbat your interest was mere¬ ly to gain political control of the roads.
On'o of the bills, the Willlam.son Municip.al Tax Relief Pill, makes an appropriation ot $1!I.2.'S0,0C0 to be al¬ located to oach IKilitical subdivision of the state, to be used by the local oflicials for road and street work. The bill makes it ma,ndatory for local of¬ licials in each political sulidiviaion of tho stato to reduce local taxes in proportion to the amount received un¬ der the in-ovisions of the bill. In doini,- KO, It would eliminate apiu;oxlma,tely four-fifth of the road tax on the far¬ mers of Pennsylvania nnJ suUstan- tially slash the t.axes on the other onV-fifth. Tn additon. it will practi¬ cally eliminate tho tax for road and street maintonance on every property owner In cities, boroughs and flrst cjass townships. The bill most cer¬ tainly .gives t.ax relief to the fanrner and home owner, which you dem:i.ndc<l should bo done on' so many occas¬ ions. The Williamson Bill does miore th.an you demanded that should toe done. Your 53,000 mile program woul." ea.sc tho burden of the taxpayer, (us¬ in.g your figures) to tho extent of $0,- 0((0.000 per annum. AVe know, and you know, Ithat you me.anf .fn.OOO.flOO for the biennium. The WlTli.amson Bill would relieve the burden of the tax¬ payers to the extent of more than $19,- 000,000   for   the   biennium.
Tho other bill, tbo Pirklnson Bill, makes an appropriation of $17,903,500 and is supposed to be a tax relief measure, but It 'carries n'o mandatory prov^lsion for the reduction of taxes in townships of the secfind class, tbe only politiial subdivision that -would have been benefited by ynur 53,000 Tniio bill. Tt, however, docs give the lllciiart- ment of Highw.ays authority to expend approximately $11.0-00,000 for mainten¬ ance of 53,000 miles of Isecon'd class township roads over a period of two years. The mandatory provision In tlio bill only applies to cities, ilior|Ougbn and first class to-wnships in cases where the local ofllcials elect to re¬ ceive and  expend the  money.
In the two bills, two setiarate and distinVt obiects may be olitained: len¬ der the AVilliamson lUll, tax relief for every 'property taxpayer in the com¬ monwealth. Under the T^arkinson bill, control for you of the political appoi/it- menta of 'thoiisanVIs of road wor,kers in townsliiiis of the aecond cla,ss, but no guarantee for taxpayers of second class townships of any relief from the burden   of  local  (taxes. >
If you honestly want local t.ax re¬ duction, you will sigri the AVilliam¬ son' Bill. Tf wh.at you want is poli¬ tical control of the 53.000 miles of roads, you will sign the I'arkiiiison Bill.  Very  truly Vours,
THTlMAS  S.  STTCPTITCNSON, Bditor   Pennsylvania   Itoad   Builder, May  20,  1933.
