Equal Rights for Farmers in Pennsylvania Taxation
Chester county farmer John S. Carter argues for equal rights and taxation for farmers in a West Grove meeting speech. He critiques state and national legislation favoring moneyed interests, compares real estate and personal property taxes, and notes the heavy state funding for miners and doctors versus agriculture. He cites railroad wealth and state aid for farming as justifications for reform and urges equal privileges.
