tables, giving the total amounts as re-.
turned, OF the several classes of nersonal
property above mentioned. Unon the
whole, we think the exhibit made by
| the assessors books for the present
year must be veTy-gratifying to the peo-
| pie of Maine. They furnish abundant
evidence, if evidence is needed. Of the II,
dustry, the thrift and stability of orr
people; with the rising tide of business
| throughout the country, we confIdentIv
predictit that future years will show a mora
marked increase, in the wealth and pros
periry of our state. By an act of the
Legislature of 1897, the assessors of cities.
| towns and plantations, viii be required
in 1898. to procure statistics relating to
the poultry industry, and returnsthe same
to this Board. AS the;law requires this to
be done but once in five years 1T is hoped
that the inventory will be made as full
and accurate as possible; we believe
complete statistics will demonstrate that
the poultry industry Is one OF the profit
able adJuncts of the farm.
In the report of this Board for the year
1885, was included an appendix contain
ing chapter of the Revised Statutes as
amended by subsequent enaetments, and
all other laws relating to the assessment
and collection of taxes. 1t was much ap-
preoiated and the demand for it was
sufficient to exhaust the edition long
ago, we still have frequent requests Tor
copies, and we have thought best to in
clude these laws as an appendix to this
report, incorporating whatever changes
were made by the Legislature OF 1897. At
the meetings which we have held with
the municipal assessors during the year,
little attention has been given to the dis
cussion of new theories of taxation, what
ever merit they may have On the other
hand, we have felt 1t our duty to enpha.
size the Importance of. thorough and
faithful compliance with the law as 1t is.
= 1t Is undoubtedly true that reforms are
possible in our system of taxation. 1t
may be equally true that they are neces-
sary; that changes should be made; and
that future legislatures, in their wisdom,
will devise methods more equitable and
just; and yet we believe that an impartial
application of existing laws, will remove
many of the causes of complaint of un :
just and unequal taxation. 1t is the
good fortune of the State, that our taxes
are direct taxes; that they are levied
only for purposes ofipublic revenue. An
equally important consideration, which
demands the attention of every taxpayer,
is, that all revenues, secured from tax
alton, shall be wisely appropriated and
expended in prudent manner.
With this assured, our taxes in many
instances will be materially lessened, and
will become burden that can be cheer
fully assumed and borne as a patriotic
