wound was made. The saw struck
the hand between the second and
third fingers and mangled the flesh
and bone nearly half way to the

I'd that amputation would be neces-
,ary. Accordingly ether was adj
hinistered and amputation at the
upper third forearm was performed

'espected residents of the village,

The Matter with the Chimney.

We had quite an exciting time over
at Chubbs the other day. His CHM
ney wouldn't draw, and he sent for a
man to examine it. The man went
went out on the roof and tying broom
to rope, dropped it down to see if the
fiue was clear. Meantime Chubbs got
into the fireplace for the purpose of
examining the flue below, and just as
he did so the soft end of the broom
touched his head two or three times,
as the man jerked it up and down.
Chubbs jumped out in the room in a
condition of frantic excitement. He
was certain there was wild animal
of some kind choking it up. He
seized his gun and determined to
kill it. So holding the muzzle
in the flue he pulled the trig-
ger. While he was getting the gun,
the man on the roof completed his in
designations and sat down on the
chimney to rest himself and enjoy the
scenery. AS soon as Chubb's gun
went off, the man knew about it, and
he did not wait for further sugges-
tons. He suddenly slid to the roof
and thence to the shed, where he rolled
in agony. He weighed one pound
more when they took him home than
he did when he came, and the doctors
consider it doubtful if they can dig all
the shot out of his flesh. The next
man that comes to examine Chubbs
chimney will probably have him lock-
ed up somewhere with his gun until
the experiments are concluded

house, is necessarily taxed for every dollar
of his worldly goods; while the owner in a
railroad, q stock insurance company and
many other profitable investments in Maine,
escapes with but slight public burdens A
large share of the personal property IN the
State escapes taxation. Indeed it is well es-
tablished that real estate pays four times as
much a. personal property, in proportion to
the actual value of each. Much personal
property is of such character that 1t is I'M
possible to reach it for purposes OF taxation,
where taxpayers evade giving it in. The
decision of the United States courts do not
permit the taxing of government or even rail
road bonds. But railroad property in the
State may be taxed here, notwithstanding 1t
is owned outside of the State. Indeed, late
decision settles the question that stock in all
kinds of corporations can be taxed only IN the
State where the property which it represents,
is located. But large amount can be reach
ed by proper legislation. The present Legis-
lature will do a good work if it can make a
beginning in the direction of reaching millions
of property which is now practically exempt,
and thus greatly relieve farmers and other
owners of real estate.
The natural objection which will be pre-
seated to this taxatioR of railroads and insur-
ance corporations, is that such a tax will ac-
complish nothing, because these corporations
will at once put the tax on those who do bust
ness with them. But is there any force in
this argument? If so we can tax nobody,
because every man will turn around and
charge the tax to his neghbor. The mer-
chant will charge SO much more for his tea;
the money-lender so much more for the use
of his money; the farmer so much more for
his potatoes. If everybody is taxed but the
owner of railroad and insurance property,
h,-c ha sod NV NOT ay
all alike? Or if they are exempted, why not
exempt farmers as well? But as we have al
ready stated, the insurance and railroad rates
in Massachusetts, where these two interests
are taxed, are as large as in Maine where
they are not taxed. So that experience shows
that SO far as these powerful interests are
concerned, their rates are not affected by tax,
alton. The true principle is to tax all inter
ests equally. Lewiston journal.

TILE T1Y QUESTION.

BY virtue of resolve passed by the Legis-
latare, the Governor has appointed Hon. A.
w. Paine Of Bangor, formerly insurance COM
missioner, TO inquire into the tax system of
Massachusetts and other States, with view
to devising resources other than direct taxa
ton, to meet State expenditures, as recon-
mended in the Governors Address. Mr..
Paine has accepted the appointment, and en-
tered upon his duties. He is to report within
thirty days, so that the present Legislature
may act upon the subject.
| There is a strong and growing feeling in
favor of carrying out the recommendation of
the Governor to relieve that large portion of
of our citizens whose property consists almost
entirely Of a farm, or house, by imposing a
tax upon railroads, life insurance and foreign
insurance companies, and similar interests.
1t is well known that Massachusetts and other
States raise large part of their State expen-
ditures from these sources, while Maine does
not tax insurance companies at all, and rail-
road corporations only small amount for
their depots, and occasionally little for rail-
road stock. And yet insurance rates are as
high in Maine as in Massachusetts, and rail-
road tariffs as high, if not higher. 1t is esti-
mated that there are more than twenty out of
the thirty or forty millions of railroad prop
erty in Maine not taxed cent for any pur-
pose.
Foreign fire insurance companies liUt year
received from premiums in this State about
800, 900, and paid in losses only 1918, 900 (;
and life insurance companies received in
premiums over million dollars, and paid
out only two hundred and fifty thousand.
From 1868 to and including 1871, the people
of Maine paid in premiums to foreign insur-
anee companies the large sum of $3.50, 1884 !;
and received back from the companies only
81 ,498, 23S in losses paid. Maine is one of
the best States in the Union for insurance, as in
the three years referred to her ratio of losses
to premiums paid was only So per cent. and
| only "a per cent. in 1872; while in New York
it was Gl l.2 per cent, and in Massachusetts
| 81 IA per cent, thus showing that Name is
one of the best fields in the Union for insur-
ance. And yet both New York and Massa-
chusetts tax insurance companies, while
Maine practically exempts them. The rail-
roads and the foreign insurance companies
already indicate their opposition to being
taxed, notwithstanding they are protected by
the State and they will undoubtedly bring u
powerful lobby to bear upon the Legislature.
| 1t seems clear to us that this mover ent to
relieve real estate from some Of the burden OF
taxation which is pressing upon it, and to i'm.
pose fair share of that burden on rich and
profitable interests which new almost entirely
fail 10 contribute to the expenditures OF the
State, is in the right direction. man whose
