Mr.. Reveu is interested in manuiac1ur-
ing and has been to New York City on
business.
The Maine election carried yet another
lesson. and that is that there IS among
Republican business people everywhere
! ominous dissatisfaction with the tariff
law as passed by the last Congress. This
dissatisfaction exists not only In Maine,
but Is found in California and elsewhere
Another lesson which Maine teaches is
that the old regime Of standpatism IN the
Republican party is a thing OF the past.

preston Of mind by the people. Whether

age OF, progressiveness and not OF stand

The whole story IN a nutshell Is" con-
cluded Mr.. Revell. that the Republicans
will have TO promise the voters TO revise
the tariff at the next session OF Congress
in manner most satisfactory to the peo-
pie; not only 20 the Republican voters,

TAX COMMISSION MAY REVIEW
TAXES AS IT PLEASfS NOW
Attorney General Bird Makes De
cision and Gives Commission
That Power.
COMPLAINTS ARE NOT NEEDED

Under an opinion handed down by
Attorney General Bird the state tax
commission. Of which Robert II.
shields OF Houghton Is a member. has
restored 10 il the power to review
assessments generally upon its own
initiative The opinion was furnished
i'm response 10 the request OF the COM
mission for construction OF the ad
valorem tax law, in view of the
amendment made by the Copley act
passed by the last legislature.
II is a most important ruling in
view of the threatened attack of the
corporations taxed under the ad va
loren system. upon the rate at which
the property Is taxed, alleging that
the rate is exorbitant because general
property is not assessed at its cash
value. in consequence of which the
ad valorem rate Is increased.
Originally the tax commission had
power to review assessments upon
its own initiative. but owing TO the
assault of local assessing officers on
that phase of the law, It was re-
pealed, allowing the commission 10
make a review of general assess
ments only on the complaint Of a
taxpayer.
The following part Of section 152 Of
act s of the laws Of 1909 is quoted by
the attorney general: after the
various assessment rolls required 10
be made under this act shall have
been passed upon by the several
boards OF review, and prior TO the
meeting Of the board Of supervisors
in October of each year. the said
several assessment rolls in the state
shall be subject to inspection by said
baOrd OF state tax commissioners, or
bv any member thereof, and in case II
shall appear or be made 10 appear.
by written complaint OF any taxpayer
to said board that property subject
TO taxation has been omitted from
said roll. or individual assessments |
have not been made in compliance |
