FARMERS LEAGUE.


Mnat III Is, ana WHAT III Is not.
First and foremost, it is not new
party. But it makes all parties toe the
mark.
2 Ii is not a class political party.
But It's work is for the benefit of the
whole community and all classes.
3. 1t doesn't favor class legislation.
But it aims to repeal and abolish spe-
cial favors to the classes.
4. 1t seeks no favors for farmers at
the expense of other people, excepting
only the gamblers and monopolists who
are new living on the life blood Of the
common people.
). 1t is not a scheme to put far
mers in office irrespective of their quail
iiication. But it is the determination
of the league TO secure the nomination
of the very best men by both parties
and the election of the men who will
best represent what the farmers want,
but let all nominees and officers elected
be farmers as far as possible.
6. 1t is not a scheme to overturn
the government or force it into social
ism. But it is simply means through
which farmers may work effectively in
carrying out their public duties as citi-
zens.
I. II is not an effort to break up
existing parties. But it will break up
the inside rings which now pre- stitute
all parties.
3. 1t does not oblige it, members
to give up their political party allegi-
ance. Because it will so purify all
parties as to bring them back to an
honest strife to see which viii best
serve the real interests Of the common
people, the masses and not the elias ses.
8. 1t is not farmers party. But
though the league farmers can make
their votes count for their own inter-
ests and for the welfare of the whole
public. instead Of simply electing some
politician who wants office for what he
can get out of If. irrespective Of the
people, no matter to what party they
NAV belong.-HOmestead.

The Savings Bank Question.

Half loaf is better than nothing,
and if you are not sure of getting the
whole better let well enough alone. We
are in favor OF every measure that will
tend to tighten the burden on real es-
tate and our farming interests. The
bin to reduce the amount exempt from
taxation in Savings Banks from $500
to $500 will not do this.
Why; Examine the books Of any
Savings Bank, taking any one town,
for an example, and see if the grand
list Of that town gained perceptibly
when the limit was reduced from $1,000
to $500.
In nine cases out OF ten you will find
that just the difference between the two
limits disappeared from the list. In
stead Of paying tax to the State thro'
the bank it now fails to pay anything
at all.
Read carefully Inspector Greene's
report and you will see he does not be-
lieve it best to reduce the limit from
the present sum, $500, on the ground
that the State or towns will fail to find
the difference now taxed, in the next
grand list.
1t is notorious fact that money
largely escapes taxation. We are sor-
ry it is so, but it is useless to shut our
eyes to the truth.
1t we thought there was even small
chance to get the money now deposited
in Savings Banks in excess Of $500,
from any one family, into the grand list
Of the towns from which it comes, we
should heartily favor the bill. We
know from observation that most of it
viii escape taxation altogether. if this
Dlli passes.
We have vet to find man who has
carefully studied this question, that does
not believe it is better for the State to
raise the limit to $1,000 than to lower
it from $500.
There is not a State in the Union
that has yet succeeded in framing a law
that will reach and tax the great bulk
Of personal property, especially money.
When the Legislature of this State
has succeeded in framing such a law, |
a law that after trial does reach all per-
sonal property as real estate is reach
ed, then it will be time to reduce the
limit Of deposits in Savings Banks,s sub /
ect 10 taxation.

Ex-Gov. Dillingham; and Gov. Paige en-

would not be surprising if our legislature
should adopt both of these measures.
Many that voted against adopting the
town system few years ago when the
matter was brought before the people now
favor its adoption. Deserted farms in
back school districts and the new school
law have brought about this change in
their views.
