probable cost. or to ascertain what
would he the most feasible route.
The request for new bridge
over The Little Cheyenne, at the
upper town, has also been ignored
for 10 these many years.
Nowhere in Forest City town
ship is there a bridge, or Il single
mile of grade in existence, to show
for road funds proportionately ex-
pended in this township in the last
decade, whereas one other town
ship alone, in the same time, has
received approximately some S3,
900. All this township has to
show is merely the inadequate poll
tax that has been worked out, and
most of that has only been done to
repair the damages caused by
foods and erosions.
And Potter county aint as pow
erty-stricken as she might be!
With balance to her credit of
SIS, s,l51.77 i'm all funds, ST. ,295
in general fund and S 1892
in roau aud bridge funds,
it is hard to tell whether fayorit-
ism has been the ruling passion of

ers, or whether the vote of this
precinct has always heretofore
been cast IN ''blocks of fivc.n

wANTED.-sQuARE DEAL, OR
FAIR SHAKE.

Ii there ever was a town that
had a legitimate cause and reason
for complaining about the neglect
full treatment dolod out to it by
the ''powers that be, it is certain
that that town is Forest City.
Two facts OF history stand out
boldly and prominently, viz:
First, 1t was resident of
Forest City who first mentioned
and urged the need of a new
Court House at Gettysburg, and
then supported the issue of $780,
in bonds from start to finish.
And Furthermore, the people of
Forest City have unanimously, un-
remittingly, endorsed and sup
ported the court house project, till
now it is safe to say that there is
not a better building, for the
money, in the State.
And how have we Jared at the
hands Of our county road and
bridge funds
Second. The record shows some
of the most glarlng partiality that
we have ever seen. From these it
appears that in one certain town
ship of this county there was ex-
pended in one season aIone-last
scason-the sum of $17S1.35 for
road work. And this vas not the
first road work done in said town
ship; but for two decades in addi-
tion said township has certainly re-
ceived another sum approximately
twice as large, or over S 5000. 90.
Forest City during these two
decades has had one road laid out
as per petition, which, at the time
caye us direct road, at cost of
$500, if we remember correctly. to
our then depot on the hilltop
south of town. Since then two 9th
er petitions, separated by two or
three years. have been duly filed
with the county auditor, praying
for another direct road east and
west to connect us with our pres
sent railroad point, the last peti-
tion having been filed since work
was begun on the construction Of
the above mentioned court house.
And how much do you suppose
Forest City township has received
in return for the good will shown
to Gettysburg and the rest of the
people of Potter county?
The editor of The Press has not
had the time to spare to figure i,
all out; but few facts will show
that such appropriations for the
benefit of the roads of this town
ship have been next to NIL.
The last two above mentioned
petitions have been practically
ignored, neither one having evel
been referred to a civil engineer
for survey and estimate of th,

the defeat OF the Commonwealth nine.
Sharp fielding in the seventh would have
made II impossible for the home team

INCOME TAX NOT A NEW IDEA.
First introduced in England as Far
Back as Henry Wills Day.

It was just II years ago that SIR Rob-
ert Peel, of policeman fame, first
thrust upon the British nation the not
altogether pleasant duty OF paying in
come tax.
Originally, of course, the tax was a
war tax, and as such, was by no
means a novelty, for similar impo-
sitions had been made upon the ma
ton so far back as 1872, when parlia
ment granted To the king-Henry VIII
IA subsidy of two-fifteenths from the
commons and two-tenths from the
clergy in order that he might go to
war with France. Still. it is only
since 1912 that incomes have been
taxed regularly each year, and the
rate has varied from Is 4d in the
pound in 1855 to I'd in the pound in
1874.
Ours. again. is far from being the
only country in which the income tax
has been adopted. 1t was introduced
in Italy in 1864. in France soon after
the Franco German war, and in Prus-.
STA in 1891. Since then Austria. Den
mark, Switzerland, Holland all have
followed suit OF course, it is an IN
va luabe source of revenue to any
country In the United Kingdom, for
example, it has produced sums vary
ing from e4,0000o0 in 1875 to G25.oo.

Interests of Our State.

What is best for the interests Of
the State of Maine? What course can
this government pursue that we can
properly ask them to pursue, that
contains and holds the hope of pros
perity here in Maine? Is it free trade.
or anything that approaches it, The
hope of the Democratic party. the be
lief of the Democratic party. as ex-
pressed over and over again by those
who sincerely cherish the doctrine of
free trade, is that we shall have hiSl
wages and lessened cost of living.
That is splendid platform. There Is
not a man but would subscribe to tina.
If he believed it We're true. Personally
do not believe it can be done. do
not believe you can have general
prosperity, high wages, and a low tar
if, nor do | believe that the citizens
of the State of Maine Judging from
the past, or from their own eXpe~
rience or hopes, believe that thing
can be done And that is why II
seems to me it is upon the question
of economic policies To be followed
by the national government that
should arouse us all to work and sup
port Mr.. Peters. That is sound Re
publican doctrine. 1t has brought
prosperity in the past in Maine, and
in my Judgment it will preserve it or
if we are temporarily overcome. Il
will bring it again.
Those are the questions that IL
seems to me should be in the minds
of men in this campaign. 1t is of No
