HOW THE DEMOCRATS ECONO
MIZEO.

They cut down the appropriations
for charitable, benevolent and edu-
cational institutions nearly one
half. They made no appropriation
for Free High Schools for the year
1912. This will necessitate an emer-
gency bill early in the next LIE gislature
for approximately $3.50, 600. They referred
twenty-eight State pauper bills, amount
ing to nearly $4,000 to the next Legis-
lature. They refer red nearly one hun
dred other bills to the next Legislature
thus illustrating their ideas of the appli-
cation of ''good business principles. :"
They did no new construction worthy of
mention.
They called Special Session of the
Legislature, which enacted just one bill
into law. This bill provided that the
Secretary of State should furnish bal
lot box for each voting precinct in the
State, over 600 in number, with suit
able lock and key to each. These boxes
were to be sent by express, and the
whole expense is to be paid by the State.
The bill further provides that within
twenty-four hours after an election the
ballots cast shall be sent to the Secre-
tary of State and that the express
charges shall be paid by the town. If a
recount, or an examination of the ballots,
is desired in any town journey to Au-
gusta will be necessary at the expense of
the persons whose interests are involved.

order for the delivery to each member of a
bound copy of the record of their impor-

pages, printed in double columns of very
fine type. They then drew their mileage

The whole performance was political

ries, printing, elections and the direct
expenses of the Legislature itself, about
$4,000.

Des Moines Solves the High
Cost of Living.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 20, 1912. The
municipal market opened here not long
ago is heralded by Des Moines as an
instance of the efficacy of the commission
form of government. 1t demonstrated
the readiness with which public opinion
is carried into effect under the Des Moines
plan and the closer union that exists be-
tween the people and their representa-
tives.
Although the city is the center of the
richest agricultural district in the world,
the prices of vegetables, fruit and garden
stuff were so high that necessities were
fast becoming iuxuries. For instance,
potatoes at one time reached $500 per
bushel. All kinds of produce was selling
at prices much higher than the average
for former years, some of the advance
being due to unfavorable growing con-
dtions. Most of the high cost was due
to the necessity of the dealers adding a
large per cent to the cost of his produce
to cover delivering charges, clerk hire,
rent and profits. Truck gardeners were
not able to peddle their products from
house to house because the grocers would
then refuse to buy their surplus stock.
The discussion of the high cost of living
became a fad. The newspapers featured
the subject, it had its share of attention
in the pulpits. The Mayor and Commits
sioners took the matter up. They an
nounced that the little plot of lawn at
the City Hall would be opened as a
municipal market. 1t was regarded as
an experiment, and many of the officials
were skeptical as to whether it would be
successful. The first four or five farm
ers drove their wagons on the lawn and
sold vegetables from the cart.
The next day the number doubled.
Within week over one hundred farmers
were at the market. In month it had
become so popular that more than hum
dred farmers were selling direct to the
Des Moines housewives and the wagons
stretched for thu ee blocks along the curb
on market days. In many instances the
old prices were cut in half, in others the

ENFORCEMENT AGAIN.

Last week, to show that the Demo-
cratic administration had not kept its
promise to enforce the prohibitory law,
l stated the conditions in Bangor, and
have no doubt but some persons who
read the editorial said that liquor was
sold there under Republican admins
tration.
No one can dispute it, but it happened
that during the summer and fall of
1906, when a Republican governor was
in power, had occasion to visit Bangor
nearly every week. AS my business
took but short time, had the most of
the day to myself and walked about the
city great deal, and time after time l
would be there without seeing a man
who showed the influence of liquor.
was told by two men in the fall of
1907, one grocer whose store was not
far from Hancock street, and the other a
prominent official, that the sale of
liquor had been driven out of the prin-
cipal places and was confined to Arme-
mans and other foreigners. This was
still under a Republican Governor and
while the Sturgis deputies were work.
ing.
But what is the condition in Bangor
today under Democratic administra-
ton? l was in the city short time
ago and met man on Exchange street
who had just come out of saloon SO
drunk he could not walk straight, and
within a rod saw two young men
staggering along the sidewalk. The lid
was surely off!
And what is true of Bangor is true Of
other cities and towns in Maine, if
newspaper reports can be relied upon.
In short, the regularly elected or ap-
pointed officers are not enforcing the
prohibitory law in these places and it
is generally known they are not, but no
effort is made by the. administration to
compel them to do so; on the contrary,
some deputies who were jealous in en-
forcing the law are deputies no longer.

DEMOCRATIC TAXES.

The leaders of the Republican party
know that they cannot successfully assail
the financial record of the Plaisted ad-
ministration. The endeavor they have
been making to defend the record of the
Fernald administration and to belittle
what has been done in the way of pay
ing the debts which it left behind it has
not met with success. The debts have
been paid by Democratic administra-
ton and the tax rate has been reduced.
Economies have been introduced in the
management of State departments and
institutions and the results speak for
themselves. Waterville Sentinel.
Yes, and some of them speak more
loudly than others; for instance, the veto
of the Children's hospital resolve, which
compelled the friends of the institution
to get out and hustle for private SUBJ
scriptions in order to keep it open for the
treatment of the poor little sufferers.
That kind of economy does indeed speak
for itself. One of the claims in behalf
of the Plaisted administration is that
1.-The tax rate has been reduced" Not
much unless a Is per cent increase can
be called reduction. 1t was nominally
25 per cent, but actually the present adj
ministration had the benefit of an in
crease more than three times as much.
AS well known, the proceeds of a State
tax assessed for any given year are not
available until the following year. The
Fernald administration received in its
first year, 1909, the three mill tax levied
in 1908. The rate fixed by the legisla-
ture for 1909 was the same, three mills,
and it became available in 1910; so that
for the two years the Fernald admins
tration had the revenue of six mills on
the dollar of property. To provide for
necessary extraordinary expenditures,
such as the State house renovation, new
Home for Predetermined, care of pau
pers, etc, the rate for 1910 was raised to
five mills. But by the same process the
proceeds did not become available until
1911. At the same time the Democratic
Legislature of 1911 increased the rate
for that year to six mills and fixed the
rate for the present year at four mills.
Consequently the State treasury has re-
ceived eleven mills in the two years,
which, compared with the six mills of
the preceding biennial period, was an in
crease of more than SO per cent. While
the treasury will have to get along next
year with the four mill levy of the year.
And still they claim to have reduced
taxes, and brag about their great achieve
ments in paying the States bills! Any
body could do that. Even a tyro, let
| alone such great financier as Lamont
A. Stevens, could do it. 1t is as easy as
rolling off log. Put in another form,
the direct State tax for the four years is
! as follows:

on railroads, corporations, automobiles,
etc, amounting to over $500, 600. Hence
it appears that during the Plaisted ad-
ministration the total tax levy has been
81, 900, 900 more than it was under the
Fernald administration Who couldn't
pay bills with all that money to pay
them with? But whose bills? The peo-

the general benefit. Whose money? The
peoples. They pay their bills out of

the facts the claim that the Democratic
administration has reduced" taxes is
laughable. Portland Press.
