We noticed an article IN the Bangor
Commercial recently under the title, Grange
Discipline. The writer who says he is a
member of the order, says, among other
things: "In no instance do the annual dues
exceed S1.20 for each male member and
about 90 cents for each woman member. }"
Now l have belonged to the Grange for
nearly 20 years, and that is the first time l
ever heard OF the sisters paying less dues
than the brothers. We think that the

business, for the sisters throughout the State
will be asking that their dues be cut down
one half. Now it looks to be a very easy

A Northport Camp Ground Case


Decided in Favor of the Defendant, c. E.
Perkins.
The Northport Wesleyan Grove Camp
meeting association has lost its case against
Chester E. Perkins, whom it sued because
he visited the cottages there and refused
to pay the usual license fee fixed by
the association; this result has Just been
reached in the supreme court of Maine, full
bench the rescrlpt having been received by
Clerk Of Courts Wadlin, as follows:
Waldo case Northport Wesleyan Grove
Campmeeting Association vs.. Chester E.
Perkins. kescript:
Where Campneeting association has
laid out its grounds into cottage lots, streets
and squares and has made perpetual leases
of the lots without other restriction than
they are subject to such rules and regula-
tons the association may from time to
adopt the association cannot afterwards,
for revenue purpose, impose license tax on
persons visiting the occupants of cottages on
such lots to obtain orders for family sup
plies.
Plaintiff nonsult.
The association at Northport gives per-
petual leases of the lots on its grounds to
the owners of the cottages there but it con-
trolls the campground rigdly through the
provision that the -'leases are subject to
such rules and regulations as the association
may adopt"
In 1898 Chester E. Perkins, who keeps
a store just outside the grounds at North
port Campground, refused to pay the license
tax which the Association demanded for
the privilege of selling anything on the
grounds. The Association brought suit to
collect the amount, and make a test case,
there being other parties who sell on the
grounds, but who pay the license under pro-
test
The case went to the law court on report
and that body ordered plaintiffs nonsuit,
defeating completely the contention of the
association.
