blossom rarely, but as they die immedi-

General Stark.

A subscriber has the following In
regard to General Stark:
The general was at Bunker Hill
and commanded the New Hampshire
troops; but Col. Prescott was chief
in command. The remark attributed
to Gen. Stark was made just before
the battle of Bennington which was
fought Aug. 16, 1777. The words OF
the remark as they have come down
to us in history are these: There
are the Red Coats; we beat them to-
day or Molly Stark Is a widow"

The exact anniversary of the bat

to determine, for 1t continued three
days. 1t was begun July l and end

LARGEST POTATO CROP IN YEARS

The potato crop in Somerset coun-
ty has not looked better in years. The
late spring interfered somewhat with
planting, but since that time weather
conditions have been almost IDEAL
moisture enough but not too much
and well balanced with sunshine. Elk.
tended inquiry reveals little IL any
reduction of acreage as compared
with last year. On the contrary those
who lost on the crop last year have
generally increased the plant expect
ing to recoup their loss. New houses
have been built on many of the farms
Tor storing the crop, and there is
considerable disposition to enlarge
shipping facilities. Prospectors were
In town Within the last few days
looking for location close to the
Maine Central tracks. Farmers who
planted early on early ground have
begun digging and are selling their
products at 81 per bushel In the local
markets. The task of picking up all
the tubers that will be grown here
this year will be big one in itself
and the more prudent of the growers
are already engaging men for that
time. The severity of this task caus
es wages to stiffen as the contracts
are closed Some of the larger

An Indignant Augusta Woman.

Kennebec Journal: An indignant
Augusta lady takes the Journal to
task for referring to that beautiful
wooded high land to the southwest of
the Capitol as Niger hill. She scold-
ed the editor In such a sweet and
kindly voice that 1t became a pleas
ure to be scolded, because he had al
lowed this Objectionable name to ap-
pear again when even the elder gen.
GRAFTON Of today believed 1t forgotten.
We volunteered to spank the re-
porter, who. being comparative
stranger In these parts, caught up the
title some one else had carelessly
used He had never heard of Betsey
Howard but he has now, and has
proper respect for her namesake
With the editor he thus humhly and
publicly apologies for the error, and
promises never to do so again. With
the present editorial force of the
Journal 1t will be Betsey Howard hill
In the future. From the incident we
have managed to extract a morsel OF
satisfaction. We are flattered and
pleased that such kindly friends are
reading our editorial department and
find nothing more Objectionable than
the mistake of repeating vulgar
adaptation for lack of the better name
which we did not know. We accept
the criticism with thanks.

NOVEL SYSTEM OF TAXATION.
Edmonton, Canada, Tries Out New
System.

Edmonton, Canada, Is trying out Q
new system OF taxation. In essentials
1t is a single tax system, since II
levies on the actual cash value oil
land and does not tax improvements
at all, directly. There are three
other regular schedules, however
covering business, income and special
franchises, 30 Edmonton's Is not
strictly a single tax system, though
there Is a good deal of the spirit OF
the single tax idea In 1t.
The fact Is that the man who drew
up the plan, William Short, kings
councillor, didn't know who Henry
George was and had never heard the
term single tax" when he framed his
taxation scheme.
In brief, this Is the scheme: Levies
are made on the actual cash values
of land. In estimating the value of
vacant lots the value of nearby i'm
proved property is taken into consid-
Grafton. Thus a vacant lot is listed
at its value as site for a building
like the average building of the
neighborhood-not az prospective
The tax on business Is reckoned
by the square foot of floor space, and
the rate for each different business
Is determined by table, corrected
every year. Thus florist Is taxed
the minimum, "a cents per square
foot, while banker IL taxed the
maximum, $3.50 per square foot.
Fifty different businesses are classi-
fed and there Is fifty-first class to
serve as a catch-all for odd voca-
tions.
NON-ESSENTIALS IGNORED.
No attention Ia paid to the nom
essentials, to the character of the
building or furnishings. A bank built
of Carrara marble Is taxed at the
same rate per square foot as Ia the
bank built of boards.
Here are few sample assessments
per square foot for 1909: Millinery
stores 81; undertakers' parlors $3.50;
ice cream parlors 81; boarding houses
so cents; drug stores $4 printing Of
fees $3.50; lawyers offices 81.
The income tax Is levied at a fixed
rate on each thousand dollars over
the first thousand. which Is exempt
from taxation. During 1908 the rate
was $l.45 per 800.
The tax on special franchises
doesn't worry the Edmontonites, since
the city owns all the special fran
chlses at present, and all are exempt
from taxation.
The system works. During the
year 1908 there were less than hall
a dozen appeals to the council, Of
provided for in cases of alleged unfair
valuation, and only one second appeal
to the courts.
The most notable effect of the sys.
tenn Ia that 1t has on the improvement
Of property. Since the system puts q
premium on improvement and pen
atty on non-imprOvement, vacant lots
In the downtown section of Edmon-
ton are rare. The town Is growing
rapidly, but not raggedly. There is
no inducemnt to buy land to hold for
rise. 80 Edmonton Is being built up
cOmpactly.
