Augusta, Saturday, March IA.
There were 40 attorneys in attendance
when the court opened on Saturday
morning. A number of them were
members of the Legislature who had
stayed over for the purpose of attend
ing the unusual proceedings.
Several old cases We're cleared off the
docket, and a couple of reassignments
made. and another case continued for
action.
The real business began when Hon.
Leslie c., Cornish presented the report
of the committee chosen by Kennebec
Bar Association to investigate the al
legged irregular and unprofessional con-
duct of Charles Walter Hussey of
Waterville, member of Kennebec bar.
This case started on representation of
Charles F. Johnson, Simon S. Brown
and Harvey D. Eaton, acting as a
committee of the members of the bar
in Waterville. AT the last October
term of Supreme court, a committee of
seven was chosen to. investigate the
charges. the personnel being: Charles
L. Andrews, Arson NJ. Goddard, O. b.
Clason, Thomas Leigh, Fred Emery
Beane, George w. Heselton and Leslie
G.. Cornish. Messrs. Cornish. Leigh,
Heselton and Bean of that committee
recommended that the bar ask the
court to disbar Mr.. Hussey. Messrs.
Andrews. Goddard and Clason recon-
mended that the bar ask the court to
censure him. In a meeting of the bar
a motion to adopt the recommendation
of the majority was defeated by vote
of % 10 10. 1t was then voted to APP
point a committee of three to report
the facts to the court without recon-
mendation. and Messrs. Cornish, Bean
and Heselton were chosen that COM
mittee.
The report of the investigation COM
mittee as to the facts was a unanimous
report. 1t recited that Mr.. Husseys
principal business was collections. The
committee was given full access to his
accounts and papers, and was not
hampered by anybody in the investi
CATION. They found that Mr.. Hussey
regularly increased the size of bills left
with him for collection, so as to make
a bill of less than SO appear to be $40
or more. He claimed that it was not
done in order to make it possible to is
sue capias against the debtor, but as
a means of startling him into paying
attention to the bill. and in that way
was wonderfully effective; neverthe-
less capiases were obtained upon those
hills thllc raised ont of TO accounts on
one docket of Mr.. Hussey's 1873 were
originally for less than $40 and of that
number II had been raised to $40 or
more and the proportion was similar
on other dockets. In a similar way,
bills of less than S. had been syste-
matically raised to SIS or more. thus

Letter to G. S. Downing.
4H1ustG. Mime.

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build a new one. 1t is
a good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You
have the ashes and smoke: all the
houses are ours.
We paint Lead and Zinc; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with the lead
and linseed oil: the best paint in the
world: and the cheapest, because it
takes fewer gallons than mixed paints
and it wears twice as long as lead and
oil. Nobody wants poor paint; there's
lots of it, though, in the world.

which you reproduced from The

Mr.. De France, you are sOunder on
finance than most populists. | have
tried to get the $50 per capita kind to
defend their position, but cannot. We
may need a quantity of money, now,
equal to $50 per capita, but the one is
not the cause of tie other. 1t is not
good politics to arbitrarily fix the
amount "per capita" Economists cor
relate money and taxation, why do
they not carry this correlation farther?
1t seems to me and has for years
that it is the height of foolishness to
demand in taxes more money annual
ly than there is existing in the nation.
II the volume was made equal to the
annual taxes it would be none too
much, but would be sufficient, think.
This may approximate $50 per capita,
hut that is of no consequence.

A Bunch Of Beuuuets

Editor Independent: So many ex-
cellent articles have appeared in The
Independent lately that l must openly
praise them.
F. Engelhard's article in the July 16
number was unsurpassed, as evidenced
by the single takers and socialists try
ing to answer him. They abuse him
and claim he is ignorant of what he
is attempting to discuss; they cannot
answer in argument.
Neither can they answer Mr.. Lgon
in the last issue, for the government
must take the entire value of eco
nomic rent (or all the traffic will bear)
or else they will not eliminate land
lordism. AS Mr.. Engelhard says, 1t
is impossible to separate land values
from improved values, as single tax
ers are prone to do on paper.

But the principal effect will be to pro-
ide a ticket for populists to support,
who do not wish to vote for either
Cummins or Sullivan. Whatever Mr..
Weller's candidacy may cut in on the
democratic strength is we'll deserved,
icr after absorbing the peoples party,
except about 500 who kept the middle
cf the road or went into the socialist
ranks, the democrats repudiated their
national platform and adopted an ad-
nittedly "cowardly' party creed.
Doubtless both Cummins and Sulll-
van are good men, but they stand on
platforms which are not acceptable to
populists. Mr.. Weller, too, is a good
nan and he stands on a platform
which every populist can indorse.

The Independent had expected to
have a representative at the Iowa pop
ulist state convention held at Des
Moines, August 27, but unforeseen cir
cumstances prevented. The Associated
Iress dispatches, as usual with mat
ter populistic, are incorrect as to the
platform, because it is evident that
something is omitted from the third
paragraph. The dispatches say:

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 27.-The pop
plist state convention today nomi-
mated the foregoing ticket without con-
test, but INDUCED in a spirited debate
over the platform. One faction, head
ed by Howard Rose of Charlton, de-
sired to eliminate the demand for ref
erendum and confine the party's ap-
peal on this line to the initiative. The
convention decided to indOrse his
plank providing for the initiative alone
and to use the phrase initiative and
referendum" elsewhere, thus satisfy
ing both sides. The platform says:
I'VE indorse the Omaha platform
of 1892
I'VE favor the adoption of the in
itiative and referendum in all elections
of state and national character.
Eve demand the right to elect both
as to who shall be public officials and

rarty and placed at the head Of the
table. This bolter is to get Mark Han
mas seat in the United States senate
in the event Of democratic legisla-
ture being elected this fall.
What will be gained by putting Clark
into Hanna's place? We know both
are for bank note money and rubber
currency. The only hope to keep the
Eryan democrats in line is the plat
form and Mr. Bryan making speeches
calling on the boys to vote 'er straight.
The truth Of the matter is, Johnson
will do anything to keep the single tax
before the people, and he does not deny
it. The overwhelming defeat this fall
will be put into Bryan's shoes. Ohio's
action is not an answer to Iowa.
