For Hancock County Taxpayers.

How heavily does the burden OF
state taxation rest upon the taxpayers
Of Hancock county? Are they crushed
heneath an increased weight Of State
taration. as the Democratic writer's
and sneakers of this campaign are
irving to make them believe? Let
them study the two tables puonsheo
on the opposite page this morning. ana
thev will get the straight facts and
figures of the case. These tables are
made up from the official figures for
1905. and show how much money each
town in the county paid into the State
treasury ir the form of taxes. and how
much each received back for educa-
tional purposes, State roads, support OF
paupors. public libraries, State pen
sions, local hospitals etc.
The tables show that the total
amount of the State tax paid by the
Hancock county towns in 1905 was
s43,3O935: while they received back
from the State treasury for the pur-
poses mentioned a total of S57.9S2.94'

Of the 81 towns in the county actually

last year more than they paid into 1t

straight figures, and how completely
they demolish the specious falsehoods

comes the talk of the State tax

"UncIe Joe" Coming to Maine.

(BangOr NeWS.)
In few days now Hon. Joseph G.
Cannon of IllnoiS-the real and only
Uncle Joe"-is coming to Maine for
the purpose of talking to the people as
to where their best interests lie and
as to how they should vote to have
the present Dingley good times con-
tinue. Mr.. Cannon is pretty well
known. He is said to be the best
liked man who has ever sat in the
speakers chair. which is claiming con-
siderable in view of the fact that
James G.. Blaine and Thomas b. Reed
occupied tho place before him. Though
interested in the nation at large.
Uncle Joe" has made speciality Of
the tariff. He has studied the Dingley
tariff and pronounced ii very good. He
is the most pronounced and con-
spicuous "standpatter" in the nation.
Neither the nattcry of Democrats nor
the protests from free trade Republic
cans can wcan him from his love. Be
cause of his loyalty to the Dingey
tariff and his logic in defending the
Dingley tariff. a very large number of
American people hope to nominate him
for President in 1908
And when Mr.. Cannon comes to
Maine he is going to speak in Bangor.
and he is going to tell the men Of
eastern Maine why he believes in the
Dingley tariff, and why he hopes to
see the Dingley tariff continued on the
books. OF course, he will be worth
hearing. He will explain the theory of
protective tariff and will show what
kind of protective tariff is of service
to a nation. He will give specific in
stances of tariffs that have created ma
tional prosperity. and of other free
trade tariffs which have been the I'M
doing of nations. He will illuminate
the whole field of national debate. ana
will show that a continuation of the
Dingley tariff spells prosperity and
good times and comforts and wealth
and happiness. not only to Maine but
to every State in the union.
This IS as it should be. The Ameri-
can nation is something too big and
too important to be hampered in its
action through the selfish interests of
a few spectators and dreamers.I who
| think they should initiate the English
way of doing things. 50 long as the
American wage-earner under the Ding
| ley tariff is receiving double reward
| for his labor, as compared with the
wOrkingmen of any other nation ION
earth, so long as American homes hold
| more comforts, so long as American
savings banks hold more money, and

Democrat and his chief influence is with
Democratic legislators. The matter
went, therefore, to the Legislature under
the leadership of Democrats and was
treated in that session as a business
measure. And it is generally agreed
that at that time under the Circum-

AS to the Somerset Railroad contract.
The Democratic party has made an
other mistake. They attack this legis-
mating.
But what is 10 De Sdtu VI tHe poitlCdi

Where is the blame if. as the democrats
say. it was bad legislation?
Not on William T. Cobb; for Mr..
Cobb was not in the Legislature. He
had no vote or voice in the measure and
probably never heard of it.
But Cyrus W. Davis was i'm the
Legislature. He voted for the measure.
And there's the difference. Mr..
Davis voted for the Somerset Railroad

Democrats say who should be rebuked
Not Mr.. Cobb, who knew nothing what

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Embarrassments Of a Candidate.


Candidate Davis record with ref
erence to some of the tissues" which
he has been forcing to the front in
the present State campaign continues
to rise to plague him. With regard
to those railroad "subsidieS" which
arc a large part of his stock in trade.
it should not be forgotten that Mr..
Davis was a member of the Legisla-
ture when one of the tax rebate bills
was passed and that he made no OBJ
lection. Moreover, the so-called sub
sides were urged by prominent DEM
ocrats and they received the practi-
caliy unanimous support of the Dem
ocratic members Of the Legislature.
And in supporting these measures the
Democrats of Maine never did any
thing more to their credit as citizens.

The Roomerana Ihrowers.

The Boomerang Throwers.
Not even in the wilds of widest
Australia has the art of throwing
boomerangs been more successfully de-
veloped than among the leaders of the
Maine Democracy. In fact. as the
summer has passed and election day
draws nigh it is very evident that
there is much more boomerang than
boom to their State campaign. One
tissue" after another they have
launched into the air with lofty hopes
that it would do damage to the Re-
publican party. but in each instance
the issue has come back to cause
bumps and bruises on those who start
ed it. Waging their desperate cam
paign on the theory that a lie would
travel so fast that the truth could not
overtake it, they are now discovering
their mistake.
Every person in the state who reads
the newspapers has become aware of
the steady slump which the Demo-
cratic campaign has undergone dur
ing the past few weeks. At first its
managers professed confidence Of a
sweeping victory. then they began to
speculate on how much they would
cut down the Republican majorities
throughout the State, and now they
are wondering how much worse they
will be beaten than they were two
years ago They began their cam
paign too early for their own good.
There has been time enough for the
truth to overtake their falsehoods, for
the people to see through their bum
combe. and for the glitter to disappear
from the gold brick they were trying
to sell the people of Maine.
The old saving that chickens come
home to roost has been well illustrated
in the Democratic campaign. One is
sue after another has proved
boomerang to Davis and his managers.
The attempt to make party capital out
of the State aid given the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad some Is years ago
is one Of the best illustrations of this.
The people of Maine have learned that
for the progress and prosperity Of
Maine which a Legislature ever did;
and moreover. that it passed the
Legislature unanimously. aided by the
votes of Is Democratic members who
did not dream of opposing it or that
their motives in voting for it would
ever be impugned.
The attempt to bamboozle the people
on the matter of State expenditures
has proven another boomerang. The
people have learned that State expend1-
lures have increased only as the needs
Of the growing State have demanded
it. and that the affairs of the State
have been managed honestly and WISE

has been a period of debt-reduction
aud tax-reductlOn untll lne o'dto 'dA
rate is lower now than it has been for
generation, and the State debt is

They have learned also that Candidate

ture. voted and worked in behalf OF
increased salaries and in behalf OF
various appropriations which he now
calls "extravagance" So it has been
with each of the other issues raised

Never has there been a more menda-
Cious attempt to mislead the voters of
Kennehec county than the circular pur-
porting to give statement of kenne-
bee finances which has been sent broad
cast over this county by the Democrat
ic managers. The barefaced and I'M
blushifs faisehoods contained in this
circular are made very apparent by
reading the Statement of the County
Commits sioners which appears elsewhere
in this issue. The Democratic circular
is so loaded with falsehood that M
man could be found even in the Demo-
cratic party to father it. 1t is an out

cowardly. The facts relative to County

About all the rank and file have had to
do was to sit on the fence and watch

The WaterviIIe Sentinel has con-
siderable to say about corporation
taxes" This is matter that Mr..
Davis should be familiar with. The
records show that he is stockhoider
and official in no less than SO big cor
rorations organized under the laws of
Maine and capitalized at S23.0OO,o 900.
Just how much these corporations pay
into the State treasury we do not
know. The Sentinel will doubtless be
glad to state the amount. 1t is inter-
csting to note that Mr.. Davis is not
personally Interested in any of the cor
porations he has attacked in this cam
paign. He has called this attack
going black to the people" but his or
gan very promptly characterized a
mere list of the 33 cOrporations-capl-
talized at s23, OOO, 900 in which the pub
lie records show him to be stock
holder and official as a "scurrilous" at

view of the case, to depend altogether
