1.-The Chandler railway tax bill was
signed by Governor Bliss May 27, 1901
The first assessment of taxes under ii
was i'm 1902. Near the close of my
administration as attorney general /
advised the state board of assessors
that i'm my opinion they had authority
to equalize the value of general pro-
perty assessments with their railroad
assessments before computing the
average rate. / contended that, from
Governor Pingree's messages, the
terms of the Atkinson bill, ETC., 1t was
clearly evident that it was never
sought or intended by Governor Pin
gree that an ad valorem average rate
system of taxation should be imposed
upon the railroads without an inter-
mediate equalization. My opinion and
views were challenged by my success
sor. Attorndey General Blair. and by
many of Gov. Pingree's former sup
porters. among them Mr. Osborn. The
supreme court i'm two cases, sustained
Mr.. Blair's contention. the basis OF
the decision being that the Pingree
state tax commission act, i'm the duty
imposed upon it of forcing general
property assessments to cash valua-
tion rendered equalization unneces-
sary. I'm fact. became the substitute OF
the equalization for which | contend
ed While / do not yet concede that
under the rules of constitutional and
statutory Interpretation, my conten-
ton was unsound, yet l am bound to
admit that the result of the inter-
pretation is the most perfect system
of ad valorem taxation for corporate
and general properties in vogue in any
state i'm the union. II is a tremen-
dous and monumental success. But |
do not think it can with justice be
called solely the 'Pingree' system. A
fairer naming of it would be the Pin
gree Blair system.
although by that l do not concede
that Mr.. Blair is entitled to the sole
posthumous Pingree honors. Many
who agreed with Pingree in part, but
not wholly, and many who entirely dis
agreed with him periS,nally and poll
tically, contributed helpfully in varl-
Gus ways and at various times to see
creation of our present perfected sys-
TEN of ad valorem taxation. It was
not alone of Pingree creation though
Il may bear his name, and II does not
at all follow that because Mr.. Osborn
may have disagreed in part with Gov
ernor Pingree, that he. Osborn, was
not as devoted to the cause of fair and
equitable taxation which was pursued
in Mr. Plngrees name, as was Plngree
himself.
There are some of us, and I am

I'VE have heard similar sngges-
tions before, sometimes including
still more remote and detached pos
sessions of the United States, and to

Sleep is q wonderful beautifier. Moth

over the Inevitable Is not only a wrin-

1t is a senseless and wicked rebellion

Hair Brushing Hints.

Do not use a brush to remove tan
giles. This Is a too common practice
that is responsible for much of the
badly split hair of the present day.
Remove tangles with a comb of
smooth, even teeth, used gently and
regularly, then brush steadily from the
roots down to the very end Of the hair.
There are few scalps that are not
benefited by daily brushing for Ave
minutes. Occasionally, however, when
the hair Is fine and delicate or is fall
ing badly, brushing should be omitted
as too severe.
Brushing with an unsanitary brush
is worse than nothing. II 1t is too much
trouble to wash a brush after each
using, at least wash it once every two
days.
This clearly ~precaution takes but q
faw minutes II a little ammonia Is put
in a basin of water and the brush
dipped into it several times, then into
fresh water. Dry quickly in the sun
and the back is not injured.
Do not economic In your brush buy
ing. Cheap bistles tear the hair and
may inJure the scalp. A brush with an
air filled back is advised by many hair
dressers. When the hair is not heavy
shampooing, Is a good choice for daily
brushing, for 1t is more likely to get
