that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is

mitt"c on taxation. Eanl, Examiner +.
T.. Timbcrlakc and l.. G. Cornish. repre-
ScntiaG the Maine Savings Banks AS
SociatiOn, spoke for nearly an hour each
upon the urgent need at this time Of re-
ducing the State tax on these institu-
ton. They showed that the burden is
a heavy one for the banks. far more
than their fair share under any equit
able taxation scheme. The tax falls on
the poor people. 1t has caused the
banks to reduce their dividends 10 tho
danger mark of 3 per cent. below
which it is not reasonable to expect
deposits to be made. The continuation
Of the present high tax cndanger& our

goose that lays the golden egg. Both
speakers were earnest and forc"ful in
their appeal for relief for the banks
upon which the welfare of the state 50
largely depends. The Legislature "f 1897
referred the matter 10 that Of 1899 and
that Legislature referred it to this one

quest Of the banks but had to have tn"
revenue and the banks are easy to get

being revised. this tax which i@ too
high should he lowered. just as others
which are too low should be raised
Senator Staples of Knox. addressed the
committee in a view rather hostile to
savings banks in general. declaring he
saw no danger in the withdrawal Of
deposits. He urged his bill which aims
to tax savings deposits at the same rate
prevailing in the municipality where the
