A Welcome Contemporary

Welcome to the, Franklin Journal.
Mondays mail brought us No. |, OF
volum, 8, and it was a pleasure to
note the suspicious manner in which
this contemporary has come back
after twenty-five year vacation. The
Typography of the Journal indicated
a mechanical equipment of the up-to-
date kind, while the reputation OF
Managing Editor Henry P. White in
the newspaper field, is ample guaran-
tee as to the contents. The editorial
foreword has the twentieth century
ring, and every true son of Maine will
wish the Journal Godspeed in the bat
tie "for the purity of the ballot, the
rights of the people, and the greatest
good to the greatest number" The
harvest indeed is ripe. while the Ia
borers are few, and we heartily well
come this new contemporary to the
field

Voters Have to Be Shown

Politicians certainly resemble dogs
in that it is so hard for the old ones
to learn new tricks. Evidently some
of them are not yet aware that by
vote of the people last September, the
rules of the political game were
nightly changed. Here is our friend,
Col. Boothby of Portland, giving out
an old-fashioned newspaper interview,
setting forth his undying ambition to
do something" for the good old state
of Maine. Why bless his heart. any
zap of ward heller could get that
off, and with just about the same re-
suit
Getting nominated through the di-
rect primary is very much like SELL
ing goods. The candidate for office
must get the voters attention, then
arouse their interest in what he has to
offer, and finally convince them that
he Is just the man to deliver the goods.
Now would the amiable Col. Boothby
buy anything, however trivial, from
salesman who tried to talk to him as
he has been talking to the voters of
Maine? We rather guess not! Col.
Boothby would have to be shown.
Likewise the voters of Maine will have
to be shown.
There recently called at this Office
a gentleman who has been putting in
the fall and winter months selling
fertilizers. This neeessitated a good
many protracted calls at good many
different farmhouses. With the bust
ness out of the way, politics was nat
urally frequent topic of converse
ton Unless this salesman is greatly
mistaken. there is spirit Of unrest
among the farmers that bodies no good
to the old line politician. The farm
ers' have been reading and thinking
these long winter evenings, aud also
talking things over at Grange. If Col,
Boothby, or any other aspirant for Of
ftice, thinks he can get by the prl-
maries with hot air campaign, he
certainly has got one painful sur
prise coming.

Let There Be Light

Probably the most thankless task
in civilized society is that of the tax
assessor Sworn to apply the pro-
visions of law that is fundamentally
unjust, he is always between the
devil and the deep sea-" AS a natural
consequence the most of his kind have
adopted the do-nothing policy 10 these
many years.
The standpatter is always quick to
explain that the principal defects in
our governmental system are due to
the refusal by the voters to support
the official who lives up to his oath Of
Office Admitting that the voters do
make mistakes at times, we are still
very sure that they are always of the
head and not of the heart. The
trouble can invariably be traced to the
lack of proper information.
The average man asks only for
square deal. He wants his property
taxed on the same basis as his neigh
bors Prove to him that it has been,
anu ht Nill DC wen NOhtNhe LUZ ~
order that he may really know the
kind of deal that the assessors give
him, he must be able to compare the
valuations item by item. The lump
valuations generally in vogue are
hopelessly blind For this reason the
last Legislature made it the duty of
the local assessors to estimate and
record separately the land value for
each parcel of real estate"
In carrying out that law the asses
sors will hive to do one or two things;
make some changes in the present
valuations, or leave some strange
comparisons recorded in black and
white. The right thing to do of course
will be to give everybody square
taxpayers will doubtless have to be
shown. They will demand both OPP
portunity and time to compare land
values with land values, and improve
ments with improvements. Can there
be any good reason why they should
not have 1t?
The one sure way for doing the
right thing, will be to publish as a
part of the annual town reports,
list of the parcels of assessed real es
tate, with the separate valuations as
recorded on the town books. Then
the voters will be able to judge
whether their public servants have
given them square deal, and at the
polls reward them accordingly. Fore
handed assessors will see that an arti-
Gle to provide for such future publica
ton is inserted in the warrant for

THE POLITICAL LID
IS OFF
Somerset Farmers Doing
Hard Thinking
Lively Discussions st Meeting OF Pom
Ona In Madison, Tuesday.

There is a revolution going on in
the public mind declared T. D. Sal
les of Madison during the meeting of
Somerset Pomona with Kennebec Val
ley Grange. Tuesday. "A few years
ago" he continued. graft and greed
we're everywhere prevalent. The
trusts exploited us without let or him
drance The direct primary is long
step towards putting a stop to that.
We are going to pick out our public
servants ourself instead of letting a
few curb stone loafers do it for us.
or course it will take time, but the
right is surely going to prevail The
question before the meeting was:
Are we as a whole progressing or re-
trograding in the principles of true
manhood and womanhood?" The dis
cussion was opened by S. F. Emerson
and continued by T. d. Salley and w.
c. Hobart. The trend of the remarks
was generally to the effect that the
political lid is off, and the opportunity
for the farmers to make use of their
power had come. Following the tran
saction of routine business, the lee
turer's program opened with the ad-
master of Kennebec Valley Grange.
The response was by c. NJ. Gallup of
Skowhegan. Overseer L. L. Allen then
opened the discussion of the question:
will the formation of a COW testing
association benefit the farmers of
Somerset County," He told of the
benefit which his membership in the
Waterville association had been to him,
described the work of the official test
err, and explained how this man had
been of the utmost possible help in
working out the cheapest and best
methods for feeding. Through CO.
operative buying of grain, grass seed
and fertilizers, he had saved more
than the entire service had cost him.
George d. Fletcher and T. d. Salley
also told of the benefits that they had
found testing to be in their own herds,
and then the questions began to fly
back and forth with Otis Hilton, A. II.
Ellis, George II. Foster. H. p. Ellis,
J. S. Blackwell, Charles Reed w. B.
Whittier, and Fred DinsmOre, partici-
pating. An immense amount of inter
ac TING and uSefu1 informatfon was Tins
brought out, and for nearly ten min
utes the discussion was continued af-
ter the dinner had been announced
Other features of the program were:
songs by the choir; piano solos by
Sister Edith Gray and Sister Ingalls,
recitation with encore by Victor Pease.
The March meeting will be held with
Bingham Grange at Bingham.
