On this subject every democrat ought to be

ioe-that the Commonwealth, finding all ex-
pectatIon OF protection from the general gov

troubles and hardships, and to incur immense

mousty refused 10 do--snd let it also be re
membered by every democrat who has the
Impudence 10 prate about expenses, that this
same democratic administration, who, regard
less Of their constitutional duty refused to al
iord protection to the state, still refuses to pay
the necessary expenses which we were oblig-
ed TO incur in defending the Commonwealth.
In this state of danger and difficulty, and con
stantly increasing expenses, which threatened
the state with ruin, the governor aud council
in the exercise Of their cons tuiional rights, and
in the orise and prudent performance of their
high and responsible duties, called the legisla-
ture together, TO devise means TO relieve our
difficulties, and embarrassments, and to pro-
vide resources to deiray the expense of de-
Tending the state. Let the guilty authors of
all those troubles take shame and confusion 10

That Our proportion OF the annual state tax,
is 82SSl9,34 To this is added the average
tax assessed in the several towns III Maine
to pay the attendance oftheir Representa-
tives Now it would not be right to select
the year 1914 because nothing was assessed
that ycar,nor would il be right to take 1915,
because about double the usual amount was
assessed ,ha, year, to make up Ear the omis
sion in 1914. The only fair way thereto
was to take an average for several years,
and TO include in them year when three
sessions Of the Legislature were holden,
because the expenses cfthr Repres entatiyes
would be increased in such year. he four
last years were therefore taken and the
ousrage for those gears is rorrechy stated in
fhe address. lideception had been the OBJ

which wi be found to be lass tl.sn the aver
