scd on BY the coming Legislature. I
believe that the proper course was
taken during the last session in prov
iding for commission to thoroughly
Investigate conditions and to make such
a report as they thought best, after
duly considering all matters brought
70 their attention. That commission is
made up Of men Of such ability and

they win make such recommendation
as win appeal to the good Judgment
Of the coming Legislature and that
such laws viii be passed as viii more
nearly equalize the burdens Of taxation
than at the present time.
Personally / feel that the greatest
difficulty with our system of taxation
is non-taxation; that is, those people
who have large amounts OF property
fail to pay their just proportion. AS
the law is today man owns a small
farm which is visible property and on
which he must pay his full share Of
taxes On the other hand man may
be possessed of million dollars IN
stocks and bonds and all he has to do
is to refuse to make an inventory, in
which case the listers may find what
they can and double his list, whca
may not amount to an hundreth part
cf what he is actually worth. / am
well aware that this is very hard
natter to regulate but we should GER
tainly make an honest effort to do
away with any such state Of affairs
and ! have great hopes that when tho

some remedy win Be offered which win

when such report is received and placed
before the Legislature no hasty action
viii be taken, as has been done some
times in the past.

MIR. Prouty'S Public Career

Mr.. Prouty first entered public life
as the representative from Newport in
the legislative session Of 1896 The
circumstances Of his election were such
as to show his home popularity to ex.
cellent advantage. Previous to the men.
ton Of his name two other candidates
within the Republican party had made
q good deal Of Roadway and it was late
in the canvass that certain friends se-
cured from Mr.. Prouty consent to make
him candidate. At the same time
the Democrats Of Newport thinking that
they could take profitable advantage
of a three eornered contest in the other
party, selected their strongest man, one
who was popular in both parties as
their candidate. The result was Mr..
Prouty's easy election over all other
contestants, and that without making
any personal effort in bis own behalf.
In the House Of Representatives Mr..
Prouty was an effective member Of the
important committee Of Ways and
Means.
Sir Prouty's next public service was
performed in the legislature Of 1908 a.
senator from Orleans County. His
nomination and election to the office
