MAKES PLEA FOR DECREASED TAX ON SMALL HOME OWNERS Conneaut Lake, Feb. 13, (JFh A plea for decreased tax on the small home owner through reduction of government expenditures was made last night by State Treasurer Ed' ward Martin at a Lincoln Birth' day anniversary observance here.

"We now hear much concerning nign taxes ana plans for lowering taxation," Martin, who is also chairman of the State Republican Committee, said. "Equitable as sessments and economical expen ditures will aid greatly but as in Dusmess a substantial reduction may only be made by less expenditures. The public's increasing demands for service from govern ment have created the present day enormous expenditures of government. In Pennsylvania more than four fifths of the tax dollar is expended for roads, education and welfare." After quoting figures to show the expenditures for those three purposes in the last twenty years, General Martin said that the total ex pended in this period had increased nearly 300 per cent, while the population had Increased only 25 per cent. "The next bonded debt of local sub division of the State govern ment had increased from $245, 000,000 in 1912 to approximately $926,000,000 on January 1, 1929," he said.

"This is exclusive of the next bonded debt of Pennsylvania, which Is at present $78,768,458. "These are matters that the peo ple themselves must determine and we must have confidence that the people themselves can make the determination. The tax on small homes is gradually advancing. It had advanced until it is now a. serious problem.

There is only one way in which it can be decreased, and that is by less ex penditures. "The great party Lincoln helped to form has met every crisis," Martin said. "It is now in power and is meeting opposition. If Lincoln were living to day he would rejoice in the accomplishments of a Republican administration in the face of world wide adversity."

13, OP) The Philadelphia Electric Company, through its president, William H. Taylor, to day sent a letter to Governor Pinchot taking issue with some of the statements the Governor is said to have made in his radio speech Tuesday night regarding the company's reduction in rates. "It is evident that whatever your source of information may have been it was grossly in error and made without knowledge of the facts." The letter says that the Governor's statement "that the boasted rate reduction occurred in a consumption range rarely reached by the average consumer," is also erroneous. "As it is unthinkable that you would knowingly lend the weight of your high office to statements which are without foundation, we ask you, Jn the spirit of fair play, to correct the erroneous impressions created by your public utterances."
