Tax Law Change Is Advocated By Virginia Grange
Virginia Grange delegates from Frederick and nearby counties returned from Richmond after the state meeting where Governor Peery spoke. They urged tax reform to reduce real estate assessments and to unlock hidden wealth, along with resolutions on traffic safety, license funds, and traversing government salaries. They supported temperance, Sabbath observance, home tax relief, old age and widow pensions, and urged Congress to adjust FERA wage rules for farming communities. The group also backed county manager plans, the state education program, and efforts for cheaper farm electric rates, while promoting ethical motion pictures and stronger religious civic ties.
