II OW IS the winter Of our discomfort
Y Made more than GUNNER by this man Roosevelt
Now are our brows bound with decorous halos;
Our hard-earned spoils hung up beyond our reach;
Our ancient drags bring us but merry greetings;
Our countless mutterings get Us teethy smiles.
Grim politics hath donned the new straight front,
And now instead of holding public jobs
To glad the souls Of our devoted heelers
They are to be doled out to men of merit
Who never sold vote or stole district.
So we, who once were wont to rule the roost
And lord it Ger the public as we wiled
Must either train with this new-fangled push
Or make strategic movements toward the rear,
And there assume a restful attitude
Egad it do be tough

Flirting with the serner sex Is expensive to the extent
of one pound of chocolates. For kissing and that's
where the nourshment comes IN the offender gets one
mark toward expulsion from the order. But it takes
more than one mark and consequently more than one

We publish In our Augusta despatch IS
an Interesting and important letter writ
ten by General Francis Fessenden 60 Hep
resentativs Webb. upon the valuation OF
Portland as compared with that OF other
cities and towns In this State and In
other states. what the statistics citeo
prove, General Fessenden states In hve
propositions as follows;
LIST. Portland has lonx been one OF the
most highly assessed cities in the United
states.
end. It's assessed vaiuation per capita
Is seventy per centpigher than the aver
age per capita valuation OF the other SIX
principal cities In Maine.
3rd. Its ASSESSED valuation per capita
Is nearly three times rs great as the aver
age per capita valuation OF eighty towns
taken at random in the different coun-
ties, being now In Portland about xUv
per capita to $3.50 In the eighty towns. .
4th Portland Is one OF the most
heavily assessed cities in the United
States on personal estate, being about
twice as heavily assessed In proportion
as Nsw York City.
9th Portland Is the ninth most heavily
assessed city in a list OF 40 cities In the
United States.
We do not zee how anyone after ponder
ing these conclusions which are rortlneu
IN the strongest way by statistics, can
dissent from General Fessenden's deolara-
ton that Sin the light Of the above facts
It is an intolsrabie injustice that the
State Board OF Assessors should increase
Portland's valuation and Portland hsve
no appeal But what can Portland do
about itY Apparently nothing. The
idea has taken possession of the country
towns that the burden OF taxation falls
chiefly on them, and that the cities es-
cape lightly Hence there Is prepon-
derating sentiment, constantly. In TIE
Legislature, since that body Is made mp
largely OF men from the country. In favor
OF soaking the cities In general. and
the city of Portland as the largest OF
them. In particular. 1t Is therefore OF
little uss to appeal to the Legislature.
Apparently all there Is for as
TO do Is to take such medicine as the
state Board OF Assessors. the majority of
which is from this country, Sass ut TO ad-
minister, with as much resignation as we
can command.
