1t is only fair to say. however, what
is we'll known to and thoroughly un-
derstood by everybody familiar with
the history of this legislation, that it
was the well-considered response of
broad and fair minded and honest and
candid citizens, senators and repre-
sentatives OF both the leading politi-
cal parties of that day, from every
section of the State, to the unanimous
sentiment of the three great counties
of the north, Aroostook, Pieataquis
and Penobscot.
And as the direct outcome of this
statute, whereas in the year 1891, only
$S1S.i2 was received into the State
treasury from the tax on the TWO rail-
roads that operated in Aroostook
county, the Canadian Pacific and the
New Brunswick, four years later the
tax on the Bangor & Aroostook be-
gan to come in, and the net tax in
1895 from these roads received by the
AShSHlS NtIll up iloIt tiltH tNo-
fold. or to $733.92. Five years later
1900. it had risen to $2,760.S5, in 1905
to SCI ,610.29 and in 1910 to $69S09,I2
And further. largely as the direct
RESULT of this legislation, whereas in
1890, the valuation of Aroostook coun-
ty in round numbers was SIS 900, 600,
six years later it had gone up tie SIS
100000 and in 1910 was more than $751;
600, zoe.
And it is perhaps the usual manifes-
tation of the old time and ordinary
antihathy of Interchangeable democracy
to thrift and enterprise; the resolute
ard unalterable opposition of the
clean citizenship of our great north
ern county to the fundamental prop
of democracy, license and lawIessness,
and their consistent and overwhelm-
ing republicanism. that impelled the
Democratic administration in the first
year of its reign to levy an excessive
and uncalled for direct tax or six
mills on the dollar OF valuation. g tax
that bears heaviest upon the farm
and farmer. and drew from the prop
erty Of Aroostook county alone the
sum Of 24,000,-a striking contrast to
the three mill rate of the first year
of the administration of Gov. Fernald
and the State tax on that county of
500. coo.

The sentineI's "penial.n

The Waterville Sentinel, the private
enterprise of Cyrus w. Davis and
William r. Pattangall, State officials,
peeps feebly on the State printing It
denies, right out loud. Tat Secretary
Davis is carrying about with him
voucher that belongs on file at the
State House.
Perhaps those who have heard Mr..
Davis frattie denials and explana-
tions and spzcalled proof" of his po-
sitien may have misunderstood his
claim. At any rate, we are glad the
Sentinel knows what is going on,
even il this is the first point it has
been able TO deny,
Now that the Sentinel and the au-
ditor's office are seeking light on a
pretended misunderstanding of con-
tract, it begins to look as if Mr.. Da-
Wis must eventually retreat bit and
let the Sentinel do the explaining Of
a @misinterpretation of the law" But
they are struggling to bluff the pub
lie until after election.

in the way of fines and costs from The
enforcement of the liquor law was
only s9,774.09. whereas under Sheriff
| Getchelrs first year of administration
the county received from the same
sources $15.733.44. or nearly six thou
! sand dollars more.
If the reader happens TO be ae-
quainted with one of the Kennebec
county rumsellers he might ask that
man what percentage Of the six
thousand dollars saved" by Sheriff
Richardson remained in that partieu-
lar rumsellerss possession.
Now while engaged in that sort OF
economy" it appears that Sheriff
Richardson's administration didn't be-
lieve in half way measures as he had
only about third as many rum
sellers in Jail as had Sheriff Getehel
during his first year. Moreover
those rumsellers not compelled to
serve Jail sentences seem to have been
quite busy. While Sheriff GeteheH
during his first year as sheriff had 227
in iail on account of drunkenness
Sheriff Richardson had $50!
The record sums up as follows;
The county derives nearly six thou
sand dollars less income and boards
nearly three times as many drunk
ards. but-and here is where the real
saving comes in-the county had to
board only about a third as many
rumseilers,
In reply to the above it may be
urged that these results are what the
.peepul' voted for, that they decided
Sheriff Getchell was narrow and puri-
tanicaI in his views respecting the
enforcement of the liquor law and
that the "peepul" are willing TO dig
down into their jeans and pay the
fiddlers. This, to US, seems to be an
erroneous conclusion. If the rum
sellers are not required to pay into
the county treasury and are MOTTO be
shut up IN JAN bul diioNNV " w.
tinue their pursuit of life and the
happiness of others. is it more than
fair that they should contribute
toward the board of their $50 victims
living in Jail, especially as the other
neopIe will have to contribute toward
the support of the families of the vic
tins?
Someone may urge, however, that
an unfair comparison has been made.
that some other year ought to be
taken for purposes of comparison.
Very we'll. if it will better suit the
instead of comparing
cetchelrs first year with Richardson's
first wear let us compare conditions
ton wears ago with those of 1911.
On page 81 of the county report los
the year 1902 we find that the treas
urv of Kennebec county received from
fines. etc, paid under the enforcement
of the liquor law $44,7o8.3S as COM
pared with s9,774.o9 from the same
sources during the year 1911!
