That Suggestion Of }. NJ.

To The EDITOR oF The NEWS.
SIR: In yesterdays issue OF your valuable
paper, your correspondent j. M. suggests,
as AN inducement To the Bath Iron WORKS
TO locate in this city, ''that the city
authorities charge no taxes against Them
for period OF say 20 years.
The writer OF this Is in entire SYM
rathy with what he conceives 10 be the
object OF j. NJ. in making the
suggestions quoted TO make our
city more desirable place TO live in,
and thus to increase its value--but il is
not quite clear that the method suggested
OF attaining that object would be entirely
fair.
Would not it place the concerns already
engaged In the same business as the Bath
Iron Works, and already located here,
at disadvantage il they were obliged to
not only pay their own taxes, but to pay
their proportional part OF what should be
the amount OF the taxes OF the Bath Iron
Works?
Why does J. M. make his invitation
speciaIa., Why doesn't he advocate a
policy OF exemption of all personal prop
erty from taxation? This would not only
serve as as al invitation TO the Bath Iron
Works II such policy should be adopted
but 1t would serve as a standing invita-
tion to all enterprises seeking location
in which to establish their plants. II not,
why not? q. D. l..

Every man desires to be strong, healthy
aud vigorous. He wants TO be a man IN
every sense OF the work. There are thou
sands of men who get up in the morning
with dull-fecling head, weak, tired and
languid and feel so all day. They have no
life, energy, ambition for physical or
mental work, and their nerve power is all
gone.
They were once ready for anything, but
now cannot arouse themselves from that
terrible state of lethargy and dun feeling.
Their mind warders. and they have no
confidence I'm themselves. Mr.. John VI.

covery. He speaks as follows regarding

Sir: l wds greatly impressed by your
editorial article in yesterdays News on the
British House OF Lords. The American
Press, a large proportion of which isn't
well enough acquainted with its own
institutions to intelligentIy discuss the
so-called question OF abolishing the U. s..
Senate, makes some very funny breaks
when 1t tries TO talk about abolishing the
House OF Lords. j am liberal, but any
Engiisman will bear you out in your
assertion that neither Mr.. Glad
stone. Home Rule, or any other
immediate or at present contemplated issue
Is going toShave any material effect upon
the House Of Lords except to arouse again
certain public sentiment which is always
ready to cry out against the Upper House
OF Parliament. This IL quito aside from n
discussion Of its value to the nation and
was greatly pleased to see in THE News
an intelligent opinion that indicated a
careful study of the subject.
