Download or read book The Undeveloped Mineral Resources of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by George H. Ashley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Undeveloped Mineral Resources of Pennsylvania Tax rates, carried over from other days when the mineral industries were prosperous, are a great handicap to those same industries today when they are struggling to keep alive. To reduce the tax rate will cripple the counties in their efforts to meet the service demands of their citizens. The answer appears to be a severance tax, that is, a straight tax on the gross value of the several minerals as they are removed from the mine, quarry, or well. Such a tax is levied in proportion to the mineral removed, at a time. When the sale of that mineral makes the Operator best able to pay the tax. Strictly such' a tax is in the nature of a deferred land tax, and may be computed on that basis. It avoids all the uncertainty as to the quality, quantity, etc. Of a mineral in the ground. If the tax is based on the gross receipts from the sale of the mineral, it automatically adjusts itself to the changing values of the minerals taxed, and taxes all minerals equally.

Download or read book The State Works of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Avard Longley Bishop and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Works of Pennsylvania What is known technically in the history of Pennsylvania as the state works comprised a system of transportation which was built, owned and operated by the commonwealth. Public works and internal improvements are other names commonly applied to the system. The writer has, therefore, used these three terms interchangeably. The popular movement for the state itself to provide an adequate means Of transportation to the growing West may be said to have commenced in Pennsylvania in 1823. The work of construction was undertaken in 1826 and within a few years an extensive sys tem Of canals and railways was built and in operation. By 1859, however, there was not a single mile of public-owned canal or railway in the commonwealth. It is thus seen that the present study is limited to a definite field which furnishes an historical example Of public ownership and control of a transportation system.

Burrowes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State-Book of Pennsylvania: Containing an Account of the Geography, History, Government, Resources, and Noted Citizens of the State; With a Map of the State and of Each County Consisting, as it almost Wholly does, of a description of things, and a statement of facts, there is no room for invention and little for novelty in its composition. In the scope and arrangement of its materials, however, a considerable departure from the beaten track will be discovered. The counties are not treated in alphabetical order, but in classes, accord ing to their form of surface, productions, and historical relation. The strongly marked distinctive features of each group suggested this idea; and a desire to aid the learner by a rational and easily remembered divi sion of the subject of study induced its adoption. To carry out the design, a small state map, in addition to the separate county maps, has been con structed with the classes of counties marked upon it. The advantage of the change must be very small, if it do not compensate the learner for the loss of that easiness of reference, which is the only sound reason that can be urged in favour of the alphabetical arrangement.

In most cases the Colonial Record 5, the Pennsylvania Archives and the collections of the Pennsylvania Historical Society have furnished the data. Most of the sketches deal with colonial life, because the indi vidual, the hero, for whom the young have most regard, grows less prominent in the increasingly complex social and institutional life of the state. The reader will prize all the more his own rich social, political, educational, and religious environment after be coming familiar with the struggles of an ancestry not so highly favored.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pictorial Sketch-Book of Pennsylvania: Or Its Scenery, Internal Improvements, Resources, and Agriculture We may add, that over seventeen hundred dollars have been expended for pictorial illustrations, some Of which we can point to as fair specimens of the art. During the particular time we were engaged in the preparation of these pages, however, an unusual activity prevailed among our best wood engravers, in consequence of large orders from the Government. We were, therefore, in several instances, forced to employ artists, of ordinary talent - though, upon the whole, we think the reader will find little to complain of under this head. The matter is, what it purports to be, Off-hand, and no particular cre dit is claimed or expected for it. We have profited from the works of others to a greater extent than we should, had our time been less limited. Our acknowledgments are due to the works Of the late Prof. Richardson.

On the basis of this discussion the manuscripts survey began to assume definitive form, and general terms were abandoned. T 0 this time emphasis - had been placed upon the inventories Of county archives. This work had been under way for some months and the time had arrived to consider the procedure to be taken in the field Of non-archival materials. Supplement 6 to the Manual was issued.

Download or read book History and Civil Government of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by B. A. Hinsdale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Civil Government of Pennsylvania The meaning Of a vote and the sacredness of the ballot can be taught in connection with many of the lessons in American history. The perpetuity Of a free government depends very largely upon the faith of the people in the purity and efficacy of the ballot. The boy who asked his teacher whether it is justifiable to accept money for doing what is right, say for an honest day's work. And if so, whether it is not justifiable to accept money for a vote provided one votes the right ticket, was sadly in need of instruction showing why the law has made it a crime either to buy or to sell a vote. An excellent point Of departure for a lesson on the wickedness of bribery is the famous reply of Gen. Joseph Reed: I am not worth purchasing; but such as I am, the King of Great Britain is not rich enough to buy me.
