Senator Sewall of SagadahOc pre-
scented an unusual resolve regarding
the railraod tax rebate proposition that
is worthy of more than passing notice.
II is as follows: Resolved. That re-
bates of taxes granted railroads by for
mer Legislatures without regard to
party to aid in the industrial and
commercial development of the State.
ought not on principles of equity. and
in justice to contracting parties and in
nocent purchasers. be disturbed. but
it is the sense of this body that such
rebates should neither be newly
granted nor extended in any manner
that can be construed as an exemption
from taxation.
Senator Stearns Of Penobscot very
quietly laid the Newbert order to in
vestigate the state Liquor Agency on
the shelf where it will repose in peace
for a few days at least.

forenoon at IL o'clock.
The large number of important hear
ings requiring the Hall of Representa-

parties and spectators brought about
the first clash of the session yesterday
REPRESENTATIVE Montgomery of Camden
presented an order for the use of the
House on Tuesday and Thursday OF
Feb. and respectively. particularly
for Thursday, for the use Of the judi
ciary Committee which on that day
gives hearing on the initiative and ref
erendum.
Representative Gleason of Mexico
stated that the Committee on F,duca-
tion had already spoken for 1t and
therefore had prior claim. They will
hear the University of Maine resolve
on that day.
Things were getting interesting when
Mr. Davies of Yarmouth arose and IN
formed the disputants that the rules
nrovided that such assignments were to
be made by the Superintendent OF PUB
lie Buildings and Grounds. and that
the Committee on Education had al
ready spoken for it. This left the Judi
riarv no choice bur their own room.
The question was then on the pas
sage of the Montgomery order and 1t
was defeated.

THE POWER TO FINE.

yhe stupendous amount OF the fine
imposed by Judge X. NJ. Lands of the
United States district court In Chi.
cago against the Standard oil com.
pany may be classed by some with the
exorbitant fines provided by the North
Carolina railroad rate law as probably
coming under the prohibition of the
eighth amendment TO the federal con.
stitution, which says that, Excessive
fines shall not be imposed, nor cruel
nor unusual punithment inflicted
But as a matter Of fact there is a very
considerable difference In the com.
paratiye amounts involved In the two
cases.
According to counsel for the Sea.
board Air line the penalties TO which
this railroad is subject for charging
more than 2A cents mile for passen-
ger tickets exceeds $1,000 900 per
day, while in the case OF the Southern
railroad II Is estimated that fines ag.
gregating $2,50O,OOO a day might be
imposed II the law is upheld. The en-
tire net earnings of the Air line are
only s5,OOO.OOO a year, that of the
Southern $4,000, 900; so that six days
fines would bankrupt the roads.
In the case of the Standard OIL
Judge Lands was very careful TO find
out how large a fine this company,
which assumed TO be above the law,
could stand. And having learned from
its chief officers that its income for
single year is practically 10000, ,0O6
the just published statement OF the
commissioner of corporations gives il
as sS9,935,32O for 1905 and the same
amount for 1906-he felt that he could
impose the maximum penalty provid.
ed by law, $29.24O, 900, and still remain
within the bounds set by the constl-
tGtion.
Both these cases will probably be
carried TO the federal supreme court
and then we shall secure ruling that

and courts may go in the imposition
Of financial penalties.

Recommend Action by Local
Grand Army Men.

The committee appointed by the
william Mckinley Post, No. 26, G.. A,
r., 10 investigate and report on the
dropping out OF the ranks of the
Grand Arm parade during the state
encampment here has made its re-
port and also drafted set OF resolu-
tions which IL appends TO the report
Tor the consideration OF the post men,

as follows:
To William Mckinley Post, No. 25:
Department OF Ohio, G. A. R.:-Your
committee heretofore appointed to re-
port on the subject of the union
bands at the late department encamp'
ment and especially on the question
connected with the name now borne
by one of said bands, beg to submit
the following statement for your con-
sideration:
II is not now and never has been the
policy OF our order TO allow any per-
son or association TO assume the
name of our order. or advertise or
traffic thereon; and If any If any new
order or association should assume TO
appropriate our name We believe the
courts would protect us. But, as the
partment encampment has set out in
statement, the organization now
known as the Grand Army Band"
was originally a sort Of auxiliary OF
our order, by consent of our order
assumed that name with which IL has
long been associated and become well
known throughout the whole country.
The fact that II has seceeded and
withdrawn itself from all affiliation
with and friendly feeling for our or
der we submit, should suggest 10 ite
management change of name. But
we are not prepared TO say that our
order could, under the circumstances,
force such dlscontinuance.
In view Of the fact that there seems
to be strong feeling with some COM
rades on the subject. we submit here
with resolution without recommen.
datlon. for the action OF the post. I
Your committee further submit the
opinion that 1t Is unwise for this post,
or any post OF the Grand Army to
enter into any controversy with I'm
ionism." The Grand Army OF the Re
