Bill to exempt growing white pine from
taxation.
Mr.. COUSINS of Standish: Mr. Speaker,
| move that this resolve be indefinitely
postponed. | believe in taxing wild land.
/ believe in taxing all property, and 1
cannot see where this is not an injustice.
In my section there is probably as much
white pine as in any other part of the
State. 1t is property which capitalists
are investing their money in and consid-
er it a good investment, and + cannot see
any reason why it should be exempt from
taxation any more than any other proper
ty in any other part of the State. For
instance, if you exempt this, what reason
is there that you should not exempt the
spruce in all other sections of the State?
In my vicinity there are corporations
which are buying up this land as an in
vestment and they are willing to pay the
tax. L do not think this bill was pre-
scented at the request of any of that class,
and do not see any reason why it should
pass; and I move that it be indefinitely
postponed.
On motion of Mr. Peters of Ellsworth
the bill was laid on the table

grapher of the committee on military

On motion of Mr.. Kavanough OF Port
