cphone and telegraph companies now
owning at least third of the property
within the state, are required to pay
only about one-twenty-sixth part OF
the taxes. Governor Pingree urges
that taxation in many parts of the
state has become in the nature of con-
fscation; that the situation has become
unbearable, and that under his oath of
office as governor it is his duty to see
that the constitutional provisions are
obeyed, and that the extra session is
called to that end.
