Resolutions Passed By Farm Bureau In Frederick
Resolutions on taxes and education sparked lively discussion at the Frederick County Farm Bureau annual meeting at Frederick High School. About 300 members attended as 11 resolutions were passed, six on tax matters, with amendments in some cases. AWC met the library to elect officers and delegates for the state convention. Proposals included broadening the tax base while supporting a sales tax, taxing disposable glass containers to curb litter, and protecting used farm machinery from sales tax. A forest taxation plan would exempt forest lands from real estate tax until harvested, with no extra government costs. The dog tax law prompted debate about humane purposes and a potential low-cost approach, with an SPCA spokesman defending stray-dog procedures. The final tax resolution commended County Commissioners for limiting tax increases and urged prudent spending. A study to reduce insurance premiums was requested, and an education resolution urged curricula changes to emphasize basic principles of self-government and enterprise, adequate funding, and community needs. Further debate covered salaries and how to meet community needs in schools. Other resolutions supported the right to work law. (Continued on page five).
