cnucs estimated from 100000 to
S4oO, 900 yearly. AS the total APP
preparations made for the next two
years are only $4,000 more than those
revenues will be several hundI ed
thousand dollars more than for ,hc
past two years, it easily can bc seen
in what splendid shape the St &c
treasury will be when the next LIE gis
laturc meets, Moreover this nc: rlse
of $4,000 is only apparent. not real be
ing due TO the appearance of certain
items in the list which had to be in
serted ard carried along as Il matter
of bookkeeping AS a matter Of tact
the actual appropriations made by the
10Th Legislature foot Up a total nearly
S33 900 smaller than the total of those
made by the Goth Legislature. This IS
Il splendid record of economy and wise
conservatism which every taxpayer in
Maine will appreciate.
AS the result of the increased tax
which has been imposed on the cor
poratc interests in the state it IS not
only not necessary to make any IN
crease in the State tax rate. but the
floating debt Of the State can prooa-
bly, be wiped out in the next two
years without the burden being fcit by
the taxpayers. OF this result the
members Of the 10th Legislature may
well be proud and with it the people
of the state may well be pleased The
Legislature has kept its promises of
economy and has wisely provided for
the greater revenue. In this work
the grange committee has played an
important part and is to be congratu-
lated and thanked for its efficient SER
vices.

The Grange and Tax Revision.

The Maine Patrons of Husba ndry
may well feel gratified at the sub
stantial results oftheir agitation of tax
alton revision. The committee appointed
by the State Grange. J. r. Roberts,
Norway. John NJ Deering. Saco. A. S.
Farnsworth, Pembroke, and NJ. l..
Merrill, st. Adams, has been untiring
in it's efforts and it's labors have been
most fruitful. Both the Legislative
taxation committee and the Legisla-
ture as a whole met this grange COM
mittee fairly and frankly and in per-
feet harmony and all earnestness
they have worked together to ac-
complish the desired end. OF the
nine measures urged by the grange
committee before the committee on
taxation eight were reported favora-
bly, and all the eight We're passed and
have become laws without single
change in the bills as reported from
the committee The only measure to
fail was that increasing the tax on
wild lands and this failed because
the attorney general ruled that the
method attempted was an uncon-
stitutional one.
The eight tax bills which have
passed. increasing materially the
State tax on railroads, telephone.
telegraph and express Compa MES. cor
porate franchises. collateral inner
itances. trust companies and sleeping
and palace cars. will make
