MRS. MARGARET j. REYNOLDS.
In perfect faith and peace she has en-
tered into the Great Life Eternal. She
was lovely by nature, sweet, gentle,
loyal and true, her heart had no room
for anything but kindness and love and
was filled with the thought of her Di-
vine Saviour; she had a wonderful store
of knowledge and her principles were of
the highest character Her sense of
honor never lessened, and she never
failed to lend helping hand in cases of
need and sickness. She rests from her
labors in the little churchyard beside
thos9 whom she so dearly loved, her
father and mother. She leaves an i'm
press and an influence fresh and fade
less.
May our brother, the sun, who gives
US the day, and who shows forth the
light of God, so fair, and radiant with
great splendor, and our sister, the moon,
and the stars, so clear, beautiful and
precious in the heaven above, shine on
her resting place in the bosom of our
dear mother, the earth. and the waving
grass, and bossoming flowers and trees,
with the running brooks, be the sweet
music of which she was so fond. She
will sleep peacefuly-my mother al
ways my faithful and loving companion.
May light perpetual shine upon her.

The Spirit of Winter is with u.s. making its

Voice Of the People

Legislators:
Listen to the voice of the people.
To me they seem to say:
We have great and glorious state,
rich in resources and of wonderful
scenic splendor, in which we believe
and place our hope.
We depend upon you to represent
us intelligently, honestly and fear
lessly.
We are anxious, eager and deter
mined to be first in all matters where
your earnest thoughts and facultative
ability can avail and promote.
We wish the stranger within our
in all seasons, to see our farms pro-
ductive, our mills and factories busy,
our towns and cities teeming with life,
energy and activity, and the waters
of our seaports plOughed by the ships
OF commerce.
The markest stand waiting for our
products and also the merchandise at
tracted by our seaport facilities.
Time was when our clipper ships
sailed the oceans of the globe; we
were close to the markets of the
earth, and the world knew that Maine
is here. We find no fault with the
past; it speaks for itself; but the flu
ture is before us, and we want our
place maintained among the prosper
GUS states of the union.
We have our railroads, and they
must expand into our undeveloped
territory.
We have our water powers, and
they must be developed and harnessed
for use.
We have our farms, which must be
made to yield to the uttermost.
We have idle land to spare, which
must be cultivated.

Power of the Amendment
The amendment gives the legisla-
ture the power to levy a tax upon
such property at any rate it may deem
wise and equitable, regardless of the
TACT that heretofore the same prop
erty was supposed to be taxed at the
same rate as all property.
No doubt it has been taxed in some
cases and not in others, being sub
stantially at the option of the local
assessors, although not legally so.
The difficulty is apparent by reason
OF the lack of opportunity to secure
the evidence of such property. Con-
sequently, it may be that the tax as
sessed in the past has been UNEQUAL
causing hardship in many cases by
reason, for instance, of the accessi-
bility to probated accounts, particu-
larly of widows and orphans who
perhaps have been taxed full value
whereas many much larger estates
have been able to go free through the
astuteness of more experienced ad-
mlnlstrators or trustees.
Also, to illustrate, many widows
declare their Intangible property, if
1t be such, to the local assessors, in
their innocence of the unwritten law
of tax lodging and their honesty OF
purpose in paying what they believe
10 be their just and proportionate
tax. Should the local assessors be
severe by reason of political exigency,
sometimes termed financial, to raise
revenue by increased valuation at the
expense of justifiable tax rate. the
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1915-01-14

widows may be obliged to pay what
would appear to be at least a dis
proportionate tax, If not an unjust
one.
Many specific cases could be cited
TO Illustrate this more fully, but to
generallze, widow might receive
sou, 700 in bonds by bequest; say this
comprises her whole property; by her
honesty, or through the avenue of the
PROBATE court, the fact may become
known to the assessors they may be
percent bonds, which is often the
case, rather than percent or 6 per-
cent, for reasons of greater security;
the income on the bonds would be
$1,000, and, if the tax rate of the city
or town was 500, she would be
obliged to pay $3.50 tax on these
bonds, which would leave her but $3.50
with which to live; whereas under the
new law, it the rate was made, say,
at mills, she would pay only $3.50,
and have $3.50 left.
There are cases where tax rates
are as high as $40. In such cases it
would consume the entire income, ii
they paid, and, if the tax was above
$4O, the more bonds they had, the
poorer they would be.
In cases of emergency by reason of
contiagration Or other cause land such
contingency might arise in this
state in some locality many unpro-
tected persons might suffer, whereas
many others more able to pay might
be taxed nothing.
This briefly illustrates the scope
and probable intention of the amend
ment. Experience has shown that
such property cannot be found under
Old conditions, except in a few cases
where the hardship is imposed, and
the great bulk of it is paying no tax.
The revenue which would be derived
from this proposition has no direct
relation to any increased expenditures
of the state by necessity, other than
the ordinary cost of administration
as it does not necessarily mean an
increased revenue, but an equaliza-
tlo+I vi ldAdtlUH, anu ill luCIodS6 Ou
this portion of property should dimin-
ish, to a certain extent, taxation on
other property.
Unfortunately, it is noticed that In
some states the increased revenue has
not Iessened other taxation, but has
increase expenditures to fit the in
creased revenue.
You, of course, recognize the dan
ger which will appear unless the rate
is made equitable and just so that, to
speak plainly, people will be more
honest in paving taxes, if it does not
cost too much, or more than his
dei@hhor is paying.
No doubt you will consider the ex-
emption of corporations which pay
their taxes in other ways, such as
those, for instance, which pay no
gross on earnings, and similar cases
Many other possible exceptions will
Of course, be given attention, such as

erty. securities exempt from taxation

Matters to Be Considered

The question of penalty on asses
penalty of failure to disclose, will I'M
doubte1ly attract your attention.
The ways and means of collecting
the revenue will, of course, receive
serious thought, as also the expense
Of it. The element OF protection will
call for some notice. If low rate is
named. can assurance be given that
it will remain low? What is a wise
and equitable rate?
Probably you will endeavor to seek
the motive, define the words, con-
template conflicting laws, classify the
property, apply the valuation, esti-
mate the volume, weigh the value,
consider the equality, state the eX-
ceptions, name the rate, make the
penalties, and comprehend the i'm
portant fact that it touches the funda-
mental principles so closely allied to
the financial system of the state.
Then, if all this is embodied in the
law, it will go to the assessors or tax
commissioners, as the case may be,
who must operate the law and expose
the property wherever it can be
found. 1t will require time, ability
and untiring energy to encompass it
all in bill, but without doubt you
will reach satisfactory conclusion.
Much more could be said, and ought
to be said, before the bill, if one is
presented, is finally completed.
There are many other topics which
should be touched upon, but space
forbids.
The Seventy fourth legislature
passed 701 acts and 345 resolves; the
Seventy fifth, 500 acts and 236 re-
solves; the Seventy sixth, 462 acts
and 1863 resolves; it is to be hoped
that the Seventy seventh will do no
worse

GAME EXPECTED

Basketball enthusiasts of this city
will be given an opportunity to wit
ness a good game tonight at the high
school gymnasium, when the local high
school guint clashes with the fast Sauk
Centre five.
The local team stands undefeated
thus far this season, having trimmed
the Elk River and the Royalton high
school teams. The Sank Centre bunch
is said to be much faster than either
Of these, but this only means that the
local boys will be given an opportunity
to show their playing ability. AS to
the outcome of the game, they already
have it won by a fair margin, they
say.
Few if any changes will be made in
the lineup of the Little Falls quint.
Among the players who will likely be
in the game are Meyers, Brannen,
Graham, Tomelty, Levine, Sutliff and
Longley.
The game will begin at o'clock
sharp. The usual prices Of admission

STATE ROAD BEING WASHED OUT
NEAR ROYALTON

That part Of State Road No. which
lies about one-half mile north Of the
Royalton bridge is being washed out
by the Mississippi river, due to large
whirlpool. The road is affected for a
distance Of about 800 feet and in one
place the top of the river bank is only
eight feet from the center of the road
way.
District Engineer A. J. Fem is now
at work preparing to remedy the trou-
BILE. Instead of building a concrete re-
tanning wall, which is usually done, he
will put in steel piling along the river
bank and fill in the cavitv with rock.
He estimates that at least 800 corde
Of rock will be necessary to make the
fill.
