The piece argues consumers will bear the costs of billions in government programs through taxes or higher prices. It claims government expenses already consume about a third of national income and warns that everyone pays, directly or indirectly, for prosperity schemes.
A fragmented excerpt discusses government costs and debt, noting federal state and local spending reached 13.5 billion dollars last year and the national debt stood at about 27.1 billion. It jests about future funding and even birth control as a way to “save posterity,” while musing on political experiments.
John H Light, conservative Pennsylvania farmer and State Grange secretary, asserts that over three years from 1932 Pennsylvania taxpayers will pay more than 108 million dollars in federal processing taxes while farmers receive slightly over 1.25 million in benefits. He cites government figures and a Dauphin County farmer’s affidavit detailing substantial 1934 processing tax on dressed hog sales, including penalties and interest, with disputed tax bases and opaque statements from the Internal Revenue Service.
Republican gubernatorial candidate William A. Schnader spoke to Pennsylvania sportsmen at Williameyport, arguing the Democratic platform ignores fish, game, forests, and waters. He praised the Republican program for funding wildlife, nonpolitical game police, and involving sportsmen in fish and game decisions, citing Pennsylvania’s forest recovery under GOP leadership and urging continued state forest expansion and conservation funding.
John A. Barney of the State milk board says Attorney General William A. Schnader and his assistants back the board to protect farmers. He notes thousands of dollars returned to farmers by milk dealers through the DOJ, and says no cooperation claims are true. Barneys says false rumors started because Schnader is a gubernatorial candidate.
The Republican platform pledges farm protection and state support, opposing federal dictates and dumping of inferior products. It calls for tax relief on real estate, continued aid to school districts, and continuation of emergency mill control features to aid Pennsylvania farmers. It favors health standard simplification for milk, support against pests and disease, and development of cash crops and markets with agricultural agencies assisting farming in Pennsylvania.
