equally. Discussing this provision in
Opinion Of Justices. 81 Ne. 597, the
court said unanimously: 1.-THE appor-
tionment and assessment each must be
equal throughout the whole State"
| Taxes are assessed equally when the
rate is equal upon all the property. A
State tax must be assessed upon all the
property Of the State at the same rate.
SO held il Opinions of Justices. 81 Me-,
5s1. The requirement that all taxes, if
otherwise lawful, shall be assessed
equally is not involved in this discus
sion.
Tie c:CciaI test is the requirement
that all taXLS must be apportoned
equally. To apply the rule to the facts.
The State erects a State House in
Portland costing s1,250.000. The State.
by one or more tax levies, apportions
100000 equally throughout the State
and Portland bears its proportional
part. Through the pending act $750.000
is to be met by bonds ultimately paid
by taxes apportioned to and assessed
by Portland. If, for the same public
purpose, property in Portland is sub
jcctcd to its proportionate part of the
state taxes of s5o0,000 and again to a
local tax of s75000O, has the gross tax
burden been apportioned equally?
In Dyar vs. Pennington Village Cor
poration, 20 Me, SIS, the Village Cor
poration acting under a special act OF
the Legislature. issued s35, 900 of bonds
i'll all of a railroad.
After the bonds were sold and the
proceeds paid owe. to the railroad COM
pany, application was made for an in
Junction to restrain the levying of taxes
to meet the interest upon such bonds
upon the sole ground that such taxes
would be in violation of the constitu-
tional rule in question. The opinion was
drawn ny Judge Walton and concurred
in by Judges Appleton. Peters and Vir-
gin. Judge Dickerson died before the
decision was announced. Judge Libby
was disqualified.
The case decides these legal princi-
pies:
7. The word tax in its legal sense
means an assessment for a public pur-
pose.
2. Aiding a railroad is a public pur-
pose.
2. The town Of Pennington had a
concurrent right under the general
statutes to levy taxes to aid the rail-
road.
4. Tho property within the limits Of
tie village corporation could there
fore be taxed twice for the same pub
lii purpose by two taxing powers.
r. Such result Is an unequal APP
p0rtionment ard therefore in violation
Of the constitution.
The legal analogies are perfect.
Whc re- the whole can assess tax for
a given public purpose a part cannot
aTs"sS q tau for the same public pur-
pesos. The town must carry the rail
road tag. The State. in apportioning
Its State House burden. cannot permit
the property OF Portland to be subject

rules forbidding the exemption of prop

that the converse of the rule followed.

HAS NO LEGAL OR MORAL RIGHT,
A Comprehensive and Convincing
Placing of Facts That Should
Settle Question OF Removal.

The following is the full text of the
argument Of Hon. II. NJ. Heath before
the Judiciary committee on the right Of
| the city of Portland to raise money for
the building of Il new State House:
conference.-the enabling act author
| ICES the city of Portland to issue bonds
to raise money to be given to the State
| to be used for a new State House in
| Portland, the balance of the cost to be
| borne by the State.
The act violates the Constitution Of
| the State.
Whether it violates the constitution
| al provision as to the 5 per cent. limit
| Is practically immaterial. The city OF
Portland owns gas and railroad stocks
worth nearly S1.200,00O 1t could sell
enough of these stocks to enable it to
reduce its gross Indebtedness to such
a point as to bring the proposed issue
Of bords within the per cent. limita-
tion There is no occasion, therefore,
to discuss this rule.
The power to issue bonds rests upon
the power Of taxation. 1t is Il t.uisn to
assert that bonds cannot be authorized
| unless taxes can be assessed for the
same purpose.
The city of Portland has TO power
under the Constitution to raise money
to give away for any purpose.
IN Perkins VS.. Milford 50 Me- 31S. the
court said: "'rhc Constitution gives no
|"uthority to raise money To give away.
If t oil. all protection to property
would cease"
H., %
Nc. ~ the court said: ut is conceded
in argument that towns and cities can
not constituti"nally be authorized to
raise by taxation money to be given
away"
The Legislature has no constitution
al power to authorize the city Of Port
land to assess taxes in aid of a new
State House in Portland, or to issue
bonds for such purpose, the balance of
the cost to be met by the State. The
proposition necessarily involves a State
tax for the purpose, 4 part of which
must be apportioned upon the city Of
Portland and ultimately taxes upon
Portland alone to the extent Of the
bonds to be authorized.
BY Sec. s of Article IN of the COnsti-
tuition: "All taxes upon real and per-
sonal estate. assessed by authority Of
this state, shall be apportioncd and as
sossed equally. according to the Just
value thereof"
That the general tax upon the state
and the particular tax uron III" city os
Portland would be upon real ana per-
sCnal estate will he admitted.
That both taxes would be assessed by
authority of this State ard that such .
authority must be constitutional must
be admitted.
Watcher both taxes would Or would
rot violate the rule that all taxes must
be apportioned and assessed equally is
tn" point in issue.
That both taxes must, il aprortiOn"d
and assessed equally, be 50 apporticncd
and assessed equally upon tho real and
personal estate according to the tust
value thereof goes only to the action
of the assessors and is not involved in
this discussion.

be apportioned and assessed equally is

The PROGRESS OF. THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 Of an Increase In Cana
da's immigration In 1906.

The progress of a new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase Of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of a trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end Of 1906,
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added. making total Of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 a mile for construc-
ton, the sum of $100,000,0 900 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
land where work is plentiful. wages
are high. and the cost Of living is mod
crate.
But the building Of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost OF construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops: a largely
increased output OF grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection Of elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress OF national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
Of free homesteads, so extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated on the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk Of
the population Of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and IL the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside Of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9, 064 persons have
found homes In the Canadian west,
Of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities Of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with it. Certainly,
our neighbor north of the 18th parallel
is making a great record. and deserves
the success that appears tt, be coming
its way
