LARGE 81 CENT cAsE--ANY DRUG STORE.

Now what Go the people who afe in
favor of this bill say? They say it
is double taxation. That word double
taxation is soaring Il great many pee-
pie. We dread taxation fearfully now
but when you double it, it scares any,
enc at once. What does the law in
tend to do? Tho proposition is Just

according 10 what he has; What We
find i'll his possession when we take
the inventory. ana if We eliminate
what they object to- and call double

you never viii do it until YOU elimi-
nate and wipe off All taxation laws
from the statute books.
To Illustrate Here is a trader in tie
city of Augusta, and he has q stock
of goods worth $4,000. The assessors
come around in the spring. and they
assess him for his stock in trade lie

mill where they put in about $23.-

any other basis upon which they could

that not as much double taxation as
the double taxation of real estate?

my pass all the laws with that
thought in view that you like.
There are a great many people who
hold UP their hands in holy horror at
this proposition of double taxation, but
the supreme court of New Hampshire
iias repeatedly decided that the taxa
ton If the man who invests money
and the taxation Of the property is not
double taxation
Now we come 10 one mere tlustra-
ten. The htw of the State eC Maine
taxes every man that owns an automo-
bile for the full value at the municipal!
rate of taxation. The State 81 Maine
requires a license before you can drive
the automobile Every individual that
runs a car must take out license.
Then it turns around and says that
you must pay a registration fee, $15, $40
or rs, and that must be paid 70 the
State of Maine. You are issuing on that
law S2.000,000 Of bonds, and you say
that the owner OF the automobile in
this state must pay principle and in
terest OF that $2GG0, 900. Any Question
or double taxation enter into That prop
osition, gentlemen? The State is taxing
the property. the municipality Is tax
ing the pre- perty and we have heard
10 complaint Nobody objects 80 it,
Why do they make this cry against
double taxation? / will tell yon why.
The wealthy man. the man With mon
ey that ne wants to invest is attempt
ing 10 escape the payment Of what he
should contribute to the public in the
way OF taxation.
They give one more reason why
this exemption should stand. They
say that to the precise extent that
we remove taxation on mortgages, we
lower the interest rate and that II
helps the poor man. These rich men
come here and argue that they should
have this exemption to benefit the
poor men, and that it Will reduce in
terest rates just that amount. IT they
had been sincere in their proposition,
il, theN, really . had, wanted 10, hepeht
the poor man, it would have been very
ea9y to put a provision in that law
that all loans bearing four per cent.
or less or five per cent. or less, should
be exempt from taxation. but they did
not do that They left 1t wide open
so that any man loaning money today.

To Improve Expression
as Well as Complexion


No face is really beautiful that lacks
expression. DO YOU realize that con-
tlnual use of powders and creams
tends to spoil pliancy of skin and
elasticity of expression? Why not
quit cosmetics and use something bet
ter, which won't clog the pores or
make the skin either dry or pasty?
Ordinary mcrcoliZed max acts quite
Inherently from any cosmetic. 1t
wonderfully improves any complexion,
giving it life and expression. BY
gradually, harmlcsly peeling off the
thin veil of outer surface skin, it
brings to view pure, soft, spotless
complexion, delicately beautiful and
youthful. Every druggist has this
wax; it is seldom more than one ounce
is needed. 1t is spread on nightly
like cold cream and washed off morn
ings. In week or two the trans
formation is complete.
Wrinkles do not Of course enhance
the expression. Neither do the pasty
things many use to eradicate them. A
treatment free from all objection is
made by dissolting on powdered
saXolite in x pit. witch hazel use as
a wash lotion. This soon removes even
the most obstinate wrinkles

FOR public purposes in this state
In 1911 the county and municipal
taxes in the State Of Maine were So :
461, 05SQ0 that was raised by the va
/ rlous cities and towns for public pur-
| poses. The direct state tax which
was levied upon all the property of
the State and directly affected every
property owner was $2,7t2,Gft61. The

day, upwards of twelve million dollars

be raised in an equitable and just man

Jennings is one of the best known
theatrical men in the country and is
of Elks.
The Times Says:
cit pays the city to have a theat-

Works company of West Haven to

shells, for $3.50. The chairman was
on the island in the river with the
contractors from the jump and they
had to do everything in the open.
Mr.. Jennings had an annoying GU
riosity about everything connected
with the performance and the people
who were working to get the city's

have the effect of whitening the teeth

excellent idea is to rub a little dry
charcoal powder into the crevices be-

the teeth white and glistening and the
