TT will not increase taxes" shouts
the Portland Argus in poster type in
speaking OF the capital removal move
nent. The Argus is right. 1t will
not increase taxes, for the very good
reason that the people Of Maine have
very promptly and very properly con-
signed the movement to a grave so
deep that all Of Portland's pull cannot
get the mutilated remains to the sur
face again.

The fact that the present Maine
Legislature has two pairs of brothers
among its members has brought to
light half a dozen or more instances
in earlier years where two brothers sat
in the same Legislature. We are re-
minded of still another instance of this
kind. one Of the most peculiar on the
list. by Lewis A. Barker. the we'll
known Bangor lawyer. In the famous
seth Legislature. the "count-out Legis-
lature'' when two separate legislative
bodies were holding session. or trying
to hold them, in Augusta, Mr.. Barker's
great-uncle. the Hon. Frank Hill Of
Exeter. sat as a member of one. while
in the other sat his brother, the Hon.
George Hill of Exeter. both claiming
the same seat. Writes Mr.. Barker. at
Is needless to say that my Republican
relative prevailed which l regret to say
has not always followed to the third
and fourth generation" Mr.. Barker's
family was actively represented on
both sides of that famous count-out af
fair, among both the sheep and the
goats. as he expresses il. Besides the
two great-uncles mentioned above.
another great-uncle, the late Hon.
Noah Barker was a Fusion member of
the Senate. while his grandfather the
late Lewis Barker. was chairman of!
the first, Republican advisory commit
tee during that memorable crisis.
