States Senator and now a member of the
Prof. Kenneth C. NJ. Stills of Brunswick.
dean Of Bowdoin college and candidate
for United States senator for the short
term Of the Democrats at the last cleo
ton and Hon. Hugh X. Chaplin Of Ban
gor. All these men have most willingly
consented TO give their time and effort
for the Investigator of this important
matter at the request Of Governor-elect
Milliken.
In the course Of their deliberations, the
advisory committee will before the LegIs-
lature conyenes, hold several hearings in
various parts of the State. The first of
these will be at Portland Friday.
The taxation Of intangible personal
property Is a question which has engaged
the attention Of the best minds for many
years. That this class of property. if
taxed. would yield a large revenue to the
State is generally conceded.
On September 8, 1914, a constitutional
amendment was duopteO WHICH duINOT-
ICED the taxation Of intangible personal
property. This amendment was formally
declared March 81, 1915.
In investigating this subject Justice
Spear and his associates will take up
every phase Of the matter. The report to
be presented by the advisory committee
will include the changes. II any, to be
made in the present law which remains
unaffected by the adoption Of the consti-
tutional amendment. The method of
taxation will be one Of the most impor-
tant features Of the investigation. wheth-
er this method will be q tax levied upon
the income derived from tho Intangible
property or whether it will be a fiat rate
Is the point to be decided. Administra-
tive features Of the plan proposed win
be recommended and many other matters
that will necessarily arise In considera-
ton Of so important q subject will be
thoroughly threshed out
1t Is the intention Of Justice Spear and
his associates to formulate such a re-
port to the Legislature that the method
Of procedure under the constitutional
amendment can admit Of no misunder-
standing.

An Unappreeiated Pardon

IL Will De remembered That one Harry
Avery. serving a term in the State pris-
or for bigamy. having been committed
from the Kennebec county court. the Of
fence occurring in Augusta. was. by the
advice and consent Of the Executive
Council. pardoned by Governor Curtis,
on the condition that he should leave
and remain out Of the State. Strong
backing for the petition for pardon was
presented at the hearing and equally. IL
not stronger backing was presented for
the opposition.
The matter was rather pointedly
brought to the attention Of State House
people and others on Wednesday by a
report that Avery was a much-wanted
man in Detroit. Mich. for passing two
worthless checks. a peculiar manner, to
say the least. of showing his apprecia-
ton of the clemency shown him by the
Governor and Council. The report was
':;ubstantiated by the following letter:

The matter was called to the atten-
ton of Governor Curtis. who said he had
nothing to say beyond the fact that it
was often difficult to decide absolutely
in many Of these matters and that it had
been the mother in the case who had f.
nally decided him on signing the pardon.
which was held up for some time after
the advice and consent" Of the Council
was given.
! No particular enthusiasm was shown
by anyone around the State House over
the reports of the pardoned mans latest
reported acts-and as to that no partic-
ular surprise.
