Judge Barrows puts it in substance, that
private interest is the primary object, and
public interest secondary.
Now this is not the question as it exists
in the public mind and in fact as to voting
town aid to manufactures. 1t is present.
ed in the way indicated above without can
dor and for the purpose of raising suspic-
ions and doubts to prevent favorable action
of the Legislature and towns. Every
newspaper opposed to such action repre-
scnts it as scheme to rob the public and
enrich private individuals. As though two
thirds of the voters and tax payers of
town would thus foolishly vote away their
own money. As though, for instance, the
city of Augusta voted S250,000 to the
Spragues, men living in another State,
having no friends OF property here, I'M
known to the people of the city except by
reputation as wealthy and honorable bust
ness men and manufacturers, solely to
make those persons rich. Preposterous as
this idea is it is the chief one urged by
those who are opposed to the measure UNI
der consideration to defeat it. Yet there
is not man of any intelligence who does
not know that when town taxes itself in
this way the public advantage is the first
and only consideration. The citizens have
deliberately come to the conclusion that
the public exigency requires such step,
and with their eyes wide open they take it..
If the individual is considered at all he is
regarded as to his fitness to become the in
strument of promoting the prosperity of
the town, as its servant and not as its mas
ter, and with no love, friendship or favor
for him which does not centre in the pub
lie good. Towns do not willingly al-
knowledge that such public exigencies
have arisen in their affairs as to rem
der this self taxation necessary. 1t
wounds their pride to acknowledge the
need. They come to il reluctantly. They
would be much better pleased to see capt.
talists come into the State without invita-
ton and pay good round price for their
water power, but while they wait the town
perishes, its people move away, those who
remain find it difficult to obtain living,
and the resource which Providence has
provided at their feet in lavish abundance
runs to waste for want of somebody to i'm
prove it. Those who argue that there is
nothing of public advantage which stim-
luates such movements only witness to
their own foolishness or insinceritv Since
the opinion of the Judges is only given
upon this basis, that the object in voting
aid is solely to put money into the poke,
of private individual or corporation,
having no regard to public advantage OF
use, the actual question, the real point in
dispute, if there is any, still remains to be
settled, either as it may arise in the courts
or be submitted to them in other regular
channel. When the present opinions al,
published we think it will be found there i.
no reason to expect an adverse decision Oh
the main question when fairly presented
