JOSEPH BURTON, Esq, who died in Augusta
Tuesday from injuries caused by being run into
and thrown down by boy sliding on the side
walk, was the son of James. Burton, who came
to Kennebec from Boston in 1885, and was the
first postmaster in Augusta. Joseph Burton
was born February IA, 1897, and commenced
business as clerk in the store of the late Rob-
ert Boyd ESQ.,. corner of Exchange and Middle
streets, in Portland in 1918. In 1921 he started
in trade at Eastport, where he continued until
his removal to Hallowell in 1924, at which
place he renamed until 1885, acting his last
three wears of his residence there as cashier
of tho aSorJhern Bank. Returning to Augusta
in 1886, he was Deputy Secretary of State in
1871; was the first postmaster of the newly in
corporated city of Augusta, from 1849 to 1853;
appointed Register of Probate by Gov. Crosby
in 1854, and was removed by Gov. Wells in
1886. The office having been made elective, he
was in the latter year elected by the people and
has by repeated reflections held it continuous
" for fifteen years. He married February 2,
1923, Elizabeth Robinson, daughter OF Gen.
Jesse Robinson of Hallowell, who died July
%, 1884. He leaves a family consisting of one
only surviving daughter and two sisters.

The Growing Iniquity.

The following is the first section Oh a Dill
now pending in the Legislature, the purpose
of which. stated without the application Of
the text. is to take ten per cent. of the State
valuation from laborers, and give it to CAPT.
talists. We should have no apprehension
that Legislature less completely under the
influence of corporators and capitalists would
give it serious consideration, but it becomes
every day more apparent that the people are
not represented at Augusta this winter, and
that the policy of Maine is to be made to
conform to that of other States that have been
covered with disgrace and even plunged into
bankruptcy thereby This is the bill:
ANY city or town in this State, in order to
promote the interest and welfare of its citizens,
is hereby authorized, by vote of at least two
thirds of the legal voters OF such city or
town present and voting at any legal meeting
thereof called for that purpose, to raise and ex-
pend, or loan its credit for sum not exceed
ing ten per cent of its last state valuation,
for the purpose of aiding in the establishment
or maintenance of manufactures therein, or
in securing the Improvement OF the water
power within its limits therefor, upon such
terms and conditions as shall be imposed by
such vote.
from large number of our towns, and are rap
idly assessing the rest to the same or greater
extent There is likewise movement to
give them an opportunity to disport them
selves in the State Treasury for a while. A
large number of towns and cities are also
voting to exempt manufacturing property
from taxation. If this bill giving capitalists
b ten per cent. of the valuation of towns is
also passed, completeness and symmetry may
as well be given to the plan by giving the en-
tire property of the people to the favored
few, thus making it incumbent on them to
pay the expenses of the government that is
to be maintained for their exclusive benefit.
In the passage of the Maine Central loan
bill to be engrossed, Mr.. Holden of this city,
who had previously voted against the indefi-
mite postponement Of the bill, voted in the
negative, together with Knight and Trefethen.
Milliken and Fessenden, we are sorry to say,
voted with the consolidationists. The anti
consolidationist vote fell off four votes in con-
sequence of the change to the other side of
Coombs of Camden, Jepson of China, Rogers
ofBowdoin, Tibbetts of BROOKLYN and Whit
temore of Verona, who had probably, like the
famous Berwick member, been thinking in
their rooms, without anybody saying any
thing to them" On the contrary Erskine Of
Newcastle, Hayes of Lebanon, Prince Of
Turner, Reed, of Waldoboro and Went
worth OF Naples, changed with 10 Mr..
Holden to the peoples side. Howard of Lew
iston, Remission Of Boothbay, Lord of Blue
hill, Walker of Newport and White of Rock

ponement, were absent or did not vote Tues

The question respecting the character of
savings bank investments is creating considera-
BILE attention lin other States as well as in
Maine. The suspension of several of the New
York city banks has been traced to improper
investments and stock gambling by institutions
that were designed to save the small SURPRISES
of the poor. In the New York Assembly the
other day, bill to amend the charter of the
Utica savings bank was amended after long de-
bate, by striking out the clause authorizing it
