taxed more here than there, while the

North scar uorough, Maine
Dear Sir:-I am decidedly in favor of q
revision, equalization and many radical
changes in our system of taxation here in
Maine | believe that the arms, mills,
stores and other property of this kind
bear more than their fair share of the
burden l refused to permit any raise in
the rate of the state tax at the last ses-
sion of the legislature There has been
such an Initiating of valuations by the
State A SCISSORS that the tax is already
burfensome. This matter of taxation
wants to be carefully considered and
equiGably adjusted upon all the property
anu corporations of the State Especially
should there be IA rigid inquiry into ex-
elnption from taxation
V,ry truly yours,
