these unincorporated places. They are
an humble class but no injustice must
be done them. 1t is in the interests of
the wild land owners themselves that
a conservative and reasonable increase
be made in their taxes, or else some
day a Legislature will tax them ex-
cessively and unjustly. Put tax or
one cent on every dollar of valuation
of the wild lands, and give five mills
highway fund.
State Master Stetson of the State
Grange said that he had no specific
! recommendation to make, but he wish
ed to say on behalf Of the Grange that
in rural Maine there is feeling that
farm property is taxed too high and
wild lands too low. He hoped the COM
mission would be able to present plans
to the Legislature which will equalize
these matters.
Obadiah Gardner of Rockland. ex-
master of the State Grange and the
present chairman of its Legislature
committee, said the Grange does not
ask for a change in the State Constitu-
ton to enable the State to apply the
same rate of taxation to wild lands as
to other property. Such a thing would
be unfair The Grange does not be-
lieve that property in one part Of the
State should be taxed for purely local
purposes in another part Of the State.

Prof Austin Cary of Brunswick, the
weIl-knOwn forestry expert was called
upon by Chairman Drew. He said that
taxation on this class of property
should have in view not only the raIs-
ing of revenue, but also the preserva-
ton and future prOductiveness OF the
forests. The present tax is not a bur-
den and does not cause owners to
strip their lands. The present valua-
ton. said Mr. Cary, is fair one. Such
a rate as prevails in towns and cities
would be little less than confiscation
Of the wild lands. The experience OF
Michigan and other states in this mat
ter is a warning to Maine. The rate
here can be increased without injurlng
the State, but any such rate as two
cents would hurt the whole State in
the long run. Many questions We're
asked Prof. Cary by members Of the
commission and others present and at
6 o'clock the hearing was adjourned.

The afternoon session was called to
order at go T. NJ. by Chairman Drew
with the attendance about the same
as in the morning.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was L. H Darling of Gardiner who
advocated his plan of taxing the logs
cut each year, as he has outlined in
letters published in the Kennebec
Journal. The present policy of taxing
the land itself tends to encourage the
stripping of the forests. The plan of
taxing the annual growth is not
practical here as the growth is hard
to determine. But the cut Of logs is
known and easy to use as the basis
of taxation. Names lumber industry
is 300 years old. Otfler younger states
have destroyed their forests while
Maine is now cutting more lumber an
nnally than ever before. The reason
for this is that most states have taxed
their trees off the soil, while the low
tax here in Maine has allowed the
owners to pick the trees suitable for
cutting and thus conserve and de-
velop this great industry which is
the most important in Maine.
Mr.. Darling read of the commission
tho outline of a law which he would
have the Legislature consider, law
for the preservation and perpetuation
of the forests. This provides for
State forests on townships which have
been cut over or burned over where

THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign IS permanently attached
10 the front of the main building OF
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Meanp
It means that public inspection OF
the laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
lness which is not "open and above
board"
It means that permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it q purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs = with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told :?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick

Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?

over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondence

Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement Is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshe also
might just as well regain her health.

and the rest should be divided among
the cities and towns for school and
highway purposes. The total revenue
from the timber lands under this sys-
tenn would be from $3.50, 900 to $500, 100
annually He would apply this princi-
pal only to unincOrpCrated places.
Prof. Roland Sprague of the Univer-
sity of Maine next addressed the COM
mission. not on behalf of the univer-
sity. but as private citizen anxious
to see taxation reform. There should
be reforms in other lines of taxation
he said, than in regard to wild lands.
but the need of reform here is one OF
the most pressing. The wild lands Of
Maine are apparently under-valued.
The area of our wild lands is greater
than the combined area of Massachu
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Delaware and is valued at S35,000,000.
There are y billion feet Of spruce
alone now standing in Maine. not to
mention hemlock, pine, etc, and the
land itself. The stumpage value of
the spruce alone is fully S150,000, 900.
Not only is the valuation far too low
but the rate is too low, lower than on
any other class of industry in the
State These wild lands have increas-
ed in value in the past generation fast
er than any other class of property.
Maine has monopoly share in the
timber supply of the East, but is Of
fering Inducements to outsiders tc
come in and strip her of her best re
sources. 1t was Names greatest nil
take when it sold these lands TO !;
l., ~
great error if the State does not now
collect Il revenue from these wild lnds
commensurate with their value. 1t is
wrong to assume that higher tax will
cause these lands to be strip d by
their Individual owners. There must
be State forestry regulations and laws
to preserve the forests ard save our
great water powers.
A doubling of the present tax would
not change the policy of the owners
as to cutting timber, especially i'll view
of the increasing value of lumber. The
tax should not be made as high as on
property in incorporated llaces, but
it should be much increa 5ed. First,
there should be more definite knowl-
edge about our wild lardS. The tax
should not be based on the annual cut,
but on the probable yield of the land
in coming years. There is no need to
change the Maine Constitution in order
to reach the wild lands. Their valua-
ton should be increased and then the
general rate of taxation through the
State should be raised, the State tax
ing greater control than now of the
roads and schools. Prof. Sprague was
the last speaker Of the forenoon and

cess was declared at 1910
