THE ENTERPRISE HERE.
She Is On Her Way TO Boston After a
Summers Cruise TO HaIif Il.

The training SKIP Enterprise arrived
here late Saturday afternoon and will
probably remain here several days. This
ship, formerly used as the gunnery ship
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
Nd. has for some years past been used AS
training ship by the state of Massachu-
sets. She Is manned by a skeleton crew
of blue jackets and differed by naval OIL
GERS and civilian instructors. She has on
board about 100 young men who are being
trained for the msrchant marine of the
United States. The Enterprise has been
to Halifax for several weeks where the
vessel was well received by the govern :
meDt officials there and made much OF by
the people OF the city. Since leaving
Halifax she mas been sailing along the
coast and her last stopping place before
coming here was Bath. She will sail for
Boston in . few days to prepare for a
winters cruise abroad. All are reported
to be well ON board.
When entering the harbof the Enter
prise grounded on a mud bank of the
breakwater. She came of little later
with the tide without being at all in
jured.

it,"
S. I. Dole Of windham was the next
speaker. He said he had to nay big taxes.
He didn't believe there WINS an honest
politician on Gods earth and that they
were bought and sold like cattle In the
shambles. He didn't care about any
ment was stsp In the right direction
and that 1t would amount to something.
The only danger is." said MIR. Dole, '.it
may be captured by the politicians who
will promise much and do noshing. Look
out for them and don't let none OF them
into this league"
W. A. Larry of Windham said that he
was willing to pay taxes providing he
didn't have to pay out Of proportion to
other people The trouble Is the money
thus raised Is not judiciously expended,
the money Is spent not for the benefit Of
the many but for the good of few.
j. +. Harmon was introduced as a
farmer and blacksmith from Caribou in
Aroostook county. He went on to say

knew something about carriage making.
His taxes were too high. The Aroostook
farmer Is not as prosperous as he is
pictured to be. Seventy-nve per cent of
them have mortgages ON their farms and
have to pay interest on these mortgages
as well as heavy taxes. He said that he
paid $50 on his property and a few years
ago he crossed the line and found q man
in Canada who paid only s4.3s tax on
property larger than his and more
valuabls. He thought this was unjust.

ton. AS an illustration he said that IL
two sons were given by their father 81, 500
to start IN life and one invested his
money in a farm and the other went to
college and accepted position In the city
which would pay him q, 900 or 5000 a
year. the city man would pay nothing
but poll tax while the farmer would pay
taxes on 81, 500. He thought this was very
unjust and the income tax would make
1t more equitable.
DIR. Charles Bailey OF Windham and
Mr.. Andrew Magnusson also spoke briefly
in sympathy with the work which the
league Is trying to carry out. Aftsr urg-
ing the farmers of South Windham to or
genize league Mr.. Mclaughlin de-
clared the meeting at an end.

great steel tug which Saturday lay on the
opposite side Of the wharf from the gild-
ed visitor from the inland seas. Those
inland seas. by the way, are places where
storms sweep over the surface of the
water as violent as the gales which toss
the ocean surges about and good boats
are needed there with good sailors to man
them, so these lake mariners who have
entered into competition with the coast
wise navigators are to be taken seriously
and doubtless will show that not all the
good seamen are born and raised In towns
