IRON the official REPORTS showing what
the various cities ana towns of kenne-
bee county received from the State
treasury in 1903 and also what they
PAD into it. We hope every citizen of
kennebec county will study this table
1t shows the absolute absurdity of the
cry raised by the Democrats in this
campaign that the State tax is a
burden to our people and that our
citizens are heavily taxed on account
OF State expenditures. 1t shows that.
last year, the Kennehec county cities
and towns paid sS6,69966 into the state
treasury and received back s94 $50. 6s
an excess of $1,992.9 in their favor.
And this excess in favor Of the towns
and cities would be increased by thou
SANDS OF dollars if we added the money
p"Io by the state for the support of our
insane. the stipends paid to our agri-
cultural societies and farmers insti-
tut"s, etc, etc.

taxation, 50 far as our kennebec

section of the State has been arrayed
against another, or one class or interest
against another, but very rarely indeed
has politics figured in debates or votes
upon matters involving the appropria-
ton Of money. Certainly Democratic
members have never been conspicuous
as watchdogs of the treasury.
In this connection, Mr.. Davis's own
legislative record is proving very en-
barrIssing to him. The only large
salary increase for a generation was
that Of the salaries of the justice of the
Supreme court at the last session of the
Legislature. Mr.. Davis was a member
of the committee on salaries and
warmly supported the increase. Then
there was the appropriation asked by
Colby college when one of its dormi-
tories was destroyed by fire. Mr. Davis,
as the Waterville representative, urged
that $4,000 be given the college. The
sum of $4,000 was finally voted in view
of the extreme need of a worthy insti-
tuition. In the same way Mr. Davis
also spoke and voted for other measures
which increased the total of the ex-
which he now calls gross
and treasury looting,'
rs he roams over the State.
Let us see what Mr.. Davis had to say
about the Maine Legislature before he
was candidate for Governor and
when he uttered his honest thoughts
Of the Legislature of 1901 he said. at
I'M fully persuaded that every member
brought to this Legislature a con-
'cientious desire to participate in wise
