The Printing Hearing.

The matter Of most interest before
the legal affairs committee. Tuesday
afternoon. WAS the bill abolishing the
Office of state printer and making tn"
Governor and Council Il commission to
let out to various parties the stat.
printing to the lowest bidders. Quite Il
number of Spectators were drawn in
anticipation of some such Il hearing
us had been conducted before the spec
ial committee on State printing, but
they We're disappointed. Some of the
members of the committee felt that no
helrinS should be held or action taken
until the report of the special commit
tee should be made To the Legislature.
but others felt that since the bill was
before il tor consideration. the com
nlittee should go ahead independently
of what amy other committee might do
on recommend. Consequently Mr.. Mich
OILS Of Bath. and his counsel. Mr.. Her
Sey of Portland, We're allowed an OPP
portuii,y to give the committee rea-
sons for believing thart the present
law sh0uld be changed. MeSsrS. Baker
and Williamson. who We're present to
represent the State printer. made plain
his position i'll the matter. namely. that
he takes no position one way or the
other in the matter of abOliShing the
present law or retaining it, but that
he is fully prepared to meet amy attack
which may be made upon his admins
tration of the present law.
Mr.. Hersey addressed the committee
briefly in behalf of the New Hamp
shire system and Mr.. Nichols again eX-
planned that he would print envelopes
and compliment slips in large amounts
at Il price below that now allowed by
the statute. In answer to questions by
members of the committee. Mr.. Nichols
took up one by one the prices for va

allowance for stock. etc. under the
present law. and was forced to admit
as he came to each item that it was on
~ fair and reasonable since it was
based upon the system of averages. He
thought, however. that upon long runs
the prices paid for press work were too
high and that a double price for color
work was too high: but in this latter
| matter he finally admitted that he WAS
not enough of a printer to know any
thing about it.
AS the New Hampshire work had

Pensions.

Col. F.. G.. Milliken. pension agent.
appeared before the committee on pen
SionS in favor of a resolve appropriate
ing $500 for the examination of claims
for state pensions for 1868 and 1906.
Mr.. Milliken explained to the commit
tee that this was the regular appro-
priatioli made for this purpose. That it
was many times necessary to investi-
gate personally the claims made for
pensions from different sections OF the
State. He said that in 1893 the appli-
cations for State pensions numbered
1892 and 1902 certificates were issued.
In 1904 the number of applications had
increased to .599 and the number of

Taxation.

One of the most interesting hearings
| of Tuesday afternoon took place before
| the committee on taxation on the bill
which proposes to increa So the school
| tax and mill fund from one to two
| mills. The hearing took place in the
Senate chamber. which was we'll filled
| with people from all over the State.
At the beginning of the hearing. Hon.
George G.. Weeks of Fairfield, counsel
for the Grange Legislative committee.
called or Hon. NJ. O. Merrill of st. AL
bans to imnart to the committee in
tel!igence as to the meaning and intent
of the measure. Mr.. Merrill said that
the Grange. 10000 strong. appeared
| merely for the good of the people of the
State: that they had never asked for
special legislation or privileges. That
the measure was proposed merely to
e1ualiZe the tax burden so far as school
purposes were concerned. That the
| sum of two instead Of one mill be as
| sessed as n mill tax and that the per
| capita tax of the towns and cities be
reduced from so cents to 50 cents.
Mr.. Merrill admitted that it was true
| that some counties in the State would
gain by the promised bill. while others
| would lose. This was on account Of
one county having more children than
another. "As n matter of fact" said
| Mr.. Merrill. only sc towns and 10
cities in the State would be the losers
should this bill become a law" That
five counties would be affected by the
measure. Androscoggin would lost
s155.33. Cumberland $2G.O75.67. Kenne-
bee s4.O44.S9. Knox $l32.30 and Saga
dahoc $SS9.6l.
Hon. Edward Wiggin Of Pressure
Isle. clerk to superintendent of schools.
read a table which showed that the
proposed bill would give an increase
Of $4.393.S9.
Mr. Wiggin said that the idea Of one
county losing and another gaining was
wrong. That the money would go for
the education of the children of the
State and that every dollar invested
would bear its percentage. That Maine
as whole would be benefited by it.
W.. Thompson Of China. lecturer OF
the State Grange. said that if the bill
did not become a law il would be on
account of the selfish interests of few
cities and towns as against the big ma
