Two Questions for the Voters

In addition to the choice of state and
county officers at the election OF next
Monday, the voters will be called upon
to vote yes or no upon two Important
questions. One of these measures Is a
referendum on the ballot law which was
passed by the special session OF the legis-
lature, and which, aside from applying
a coat of whitewash in the York County
matter, was the only tangible result OF
that session. This law Is essentially
Objectionable. 1t requires that imme-
diately after the election returns are
made out in each town, the ballots cast
shall be transmitted to the secretary OF
state at Augusta. This takes away from
eyery town clerk the evidence of the cor
rectness of his own record. Moreover, 1t
puts it within the power Of one man, II
be were 80 disposed, to overturn the
result of q close election. 1t is we'll to
consider that men are generally honest,
but 1t Is not advisable to put 80 great an
opportunity for wrong-doing before any
one man. The vote on that proposition
should be No.
The other proposition is an amend
ment to the constitution of the state,
permitting the legislature If it sees fit to
authorize the issue of two million dol.
lars in bonds, for the improvement Of
roads, the money to be spent equita6ly
in all the counties of the state, and the
interest on the bonds to be paid from
the license fees of automobiles. The
adoption of this amendment will not au.
thorize the issue Of any bonds, but will
allow the legislature to do 80. There
are various considerations that enter into
the action on this matter. Maine needs
better roads, and needs them not only
properly built but properly maintained.
There is also little doubt that the auto
mobile licenses will take care of the
interest on two million of bonds as long
az present conditions prevail. 1t Ia
urged by the opponents of the measure
that it is always bad policy to run In
debt, but on the other hand il Is as truly
said that it is often good policy to bor-
row money. This good roads question
is business Question, and should be so
regarded by the voter.

Ar. c.,Iahan's Undlsputed Figures

Timothy r. Callahan of Lewiston,
former treasurer OF that city, and now
candidate for state auditor on tho Repub'
lican ticket, makes statement OF Maine
finances, In answer to the Democratic
charges, which Is carefully considereh,
and no one statement OF which has been
controvsrted. 1t will pay for careful
reading. The summary OF 1t Is as fol-
lows:
1st.-The Plaisi ed administration tax
ed Maine about 81 ,OOO, 600 more in direct
tax than the Fernald administration.
You. the taxpayer, paid III
2ud.-The Plaisted administration re-
ceiyed in cash from State tax over ~, lOO,-
600 more than the Fernald administra-
ton. 1t came from your pockets!
3d.-The Fernald administration re-
ceiyed from all sources S7,S6O, Ol0.42'
The Plaisted administration will receive
over $40, 142,0 900 from all sources In 1911,
1912. You help pay the increase OF over
two million dollars. And It is the o'g-
gest jump in the history Of Maine. 1t IS
more than the whole appropriation Dill
was, a generation ago.
| 4.h,-Had not dollar OF state TAX
been levied by Plaisteds administration
for the year 1911, the receipts from State
tax of 1910 and the corporation taxes OF
1911 would have paid all the bills that
PIaisted's administration paid in 1911,
Including the left over bills, and had
sl29. 1928 "a In the treasury Jan. l. 1912
What do you say to that? Was Maine 10
a bankrupt condition when Plaisted took
it over?
5th.-The total State tax levied for the
year 1909 1910 was 50, 429 ,SlS W. VI
This amount the Fsrnald administration
received 81, 657, 1904 40, and the Plai1ted
admins ration received OF it 81 '76S'o9l'
In other words, of the Fernald State tax
Plaisted's administration has received
Sill .O98 81 more than did the Fernald
administration which levied 1t. This
shows conclus;vely that the bulk OF the
State tax of any year, although paid by
the tax payers in that year, Is not re-
ceiyed by the State Treasurer until the
following year. -,
6th.-Had Fernald levied his five mill
tax In 1909, and his three mill tax In lSlo
instead of the reverse, he would have re-
ceiyed $3.50, 1000 more revenue on exactly
the same State tax levy for use In his own
administration. This would have been
more than enough to have paid the s751:'
ISL 10 of the outstanding bills OF l9lO
paid By the treasurer during 1911 and
made special item on his report OF l9ll
page 81. 49,
7lb.-The Plaisted administration re
ceiyed in the first two months OF Its ex'
|istence, s2,035, 47547. This was before
any State taxes of 1911 were collect 60.
The administration had hardly taker
its seat before the money began TO poul
lin from the Fernald taxes. In January
I1911, alone, they received 81 $50 $50 W
| Does this look az though the Fornald
administration left them bankrupt?

The Lackawanna ferryboat Bingham

Hardly had the Putnam backed away

No one was injured and all the oraft
involved in the collisions proceeded
safely to landings.
Notwithstanding this, however great

DEER DELAY STEAMSHIP
Horde Fleeing Hunters Swim
Delaware Bay.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.


Wilmington, Del. Nov. 23.'-When tho
North German Lloyd steamer Neckar.
from Bremen for Philadelphia, was pro-
ceeding UP Delaware Bay last even
ing she was forced to deviate from her
course because Of the presence Of a
horde Of deer in the bay Had she kept
in the channel she would have killed
several of the 4limals.
The sight was the most unusual that
the pilot and officers Of the liner ever
witnessed. The herd, comprising large
number Of fine specimens, was sighted
when the Neoksr was of Augustine
Pier, Del. At this point the bay is five
miles wide. The animals were swim
ming rapidly for the New Jersey shore.
They had evidently plunged into the
bay from the Delaware side to escape
from hunters They made the swim In
safety.
