COMMITTEE ON TAXATION
Give Hearings on Two Bills Recon-
mended BY Tax Commission.

The committee on taxation Thursday
afternoon gave hearings on two bills
of Importance both of them being bills
recommended by the special tax COM
mission. One provides that the rail-
road commissioners shall fix The valu-
alton and apportion the same between
the several towns in the case of light,
heat and power companies whose
plants are located in more than one
town. The other provides that savings
deposits in national banks snail pay u
State tax of onc-half Of one per cent.
as such deposits do in savings banks
and trust companies.
Morrill, n. Drew of Portland, men,
Der OF the special tax commission,
spoke in favor of the two bills. On the
first measure they argued that the cor
pOratlOnS mentioned are inequitably
taxed at present-that where one Sc,
of assessors place Il value ON a part
of a plant and other assessors fix q
value on other portions the combined
valuation is not liable TO be SO equt-
able as it would if a State board valued
the plant as whole and said that each
town was entitled to claim. They said
work Well
Principal objection was made to the
bill by representatives, of cities and
towns, their argument being that the
local assessors are better able to fix a
proper valuation than an outside board.
Among those who appeared were City
Solicitor Robert ID. Seidel of Biddeford,
Mayor Will c. Atkins of Gardiner, Fred
W. Andrews of Rockport. Judge Deer
ing of sSaco and Mayor Plaistrd Of Au-
guSta Senator Warren OF Cumberland
thought that the STATE asscssors should
do the work ana suggested that it might
have been better to provide for the
taxation of these corporations on their
srosS earnings.
Morrill, n. Drew. in explaining the
banking bill. said that the commission
found this large amount Of money es-
Gaping taxation and could sec no rea-
son why it should not bear the same
burden as like depOSitorS in savings
banks and trust and banking compa-
mics.
Representatives of number of
banks @rgue1 against the measure, bas
ing their objections on the ground that
if enacted the law would drive the ma
tional banks into q surrender of their
charters and force them into new eX-
istence as trust and banking companies.
They also claimed that National banks
are SO much more restricted than trust
companies in the matter Of investments
that they should not be required to
pay the tax suggested. They made the
further and broader objection that
when all is said and done the State has
10 right to attempt to tax National
banks save on shares of stock and their
real estate. Hon Charles s. Hichborn,
president of the First National bank of
Augusta, opened the case for the banks,
