Call for Governor Stone to act on coal lands and taxes
The Johnstown Democrat urges Governor Stone to end the coal strike without force by proclaiming full cash value taxation on idle coal lands and halting the coal trust. It cites Schwab’s testimony on U S Steel holdings, arguing current assessments are far below true value and enabling the monopoly to suppress labor and capital. The piece warns of vast potential taxes and urges a public appeal at the polls.
