no danger threatens the country not
known last April when President
Roosevelt told the world: We are

are simply keeping up its strength.

barely enables us to make good the
units which become obsolete
"Sixty-five per cent, of the ma
tional income is now expended on
war past and present. The increase
of our naval budget has recently been
used in the French Assembly as
reason for increasing its own; is
largely responsible for the increase
of armaments among Asiatic nations:
and is well-night certain to retard
that reduction in the ornaments of
the world for which we have so long
been waiting.
THE growing discomfort through

In q recent speech OOaQlan UdfuuoT,
the Democratic candidate for governor,
said of the special tax commission: "We
have no assurance that the legislature
will adopt the new committees report.
How do we know that it may not be
a mere suberfuge to quiet the people
until after the forthcoming election?''
This is the utterance of demagogue
and illustrates the unfitness of its au-
thor to hold the high Office he seeks !:
Democrats and Republicans united in
.. creating this commission, having in
view the interests of the people, and
its membership includes prominent
Democrats. These men have been earn
estly at work for months only to be
charged now by the Democratic candl-
date for governor with being parties to
a mere subterfuge "to quiet the people
until after election" Only a small
minded man could evolve such a thought
as this. Then the integrity Of the legis-
lature to be elected next month is at
| tackled. If this commission presents a
report showing Inconsistencies and 9TH
er defects in our present system OF taxa
ton, and shows how they may be RENE
died. does any sane man doubt that the
legislature to assemble next January in
Augusta will carefully consider this re-
port and act upon it to the best of its
| judgment?' To take contrary view
would be to condemn the whole people
of Maine, upon whom,wilf devolve next
month the duty of electing the members
of this legislature. Yet Mr.. Gardner
puts the seal Of condemnation on men
whose service to his party has been far
greater than his own; upon legislature
yet to be elected, and upon the people
who are to elect that legislature. And
what has Mr.. Gardner to offer on his
own part? What could he do in this
! direction if elected? Nothing.
In his treatment of the liquor ques-
ton Mr.. Gardner is equally inconsis
tent and insincere. In his speech at
Rumford Falls he said that if he could
have his way he would wipe all liquor
out of the State of Maine, and in fact
out of every State, and yet after max
ing that statement he spent the greater
