MAY INCREASE TAXES

If the bond issue amendment is de- feated therefore, the opinion exists that the next legislature will be compelled to authorize an increase in the rate of tax ation from 60 per cent to 100 per cent. Administration leaders see no other way of placing the state again on firm finan- ciaI basis.
 The defeat of the amendment it is claimed, will produce certain dire inn mediate consequences. It will affect the thousands of teachers in the state, it will affect the thousands of old soldiers, it will affect the sheriffs of Alabama, it will effect the thousands of persons em- ployed by the state, and it will affect every institution maintained by the state.
 The teachers, as is known already have experienced difficulty in receiving their salary. They have not yet received their salary for December. and it is ex- pected that the state will also be be- hind in paying their January salary. though the passage of the bond issue may allow the state to make immediate ar- engagements for the prompt payment of this obligation.
 Up to the present time the state has been paying pensions with a fair degree of promptness, and the governor has in- dicated that he intends to put forth every effort to meet the states obligation to her old soldiers, However he has not indicated whether he will be able to continue to do so in the event the bond iCSI faj 1s tn

AMENDMENT NOT UNDERSTOOD

It is known that the impression was pretty general throughout the state that the amendment would immediately upon it's adoption have brought about tax raise in Birmingham. It is doubtful if many people outside of Birmingham knew that the amendment was for the purpose of allowing the people of that city to vote on the question of whether or not Birmingham should increase her tax rate from $1 to $1.50. To most people the amendment contemplated tax raise, and, notwithstanding the fact that it affected only Birmingham, they voted their disapproval
 Hence the third argument.
 If the bond issue amendment is defeat- ed the inevitable result will be, it is claimed by state officials and admins- tration leaders, general increase In taxes. They assert that there can be no other result. The governor has said he will not call special session of the legislature, declaring that whatever may be the result of the election on Jannary IS it will present mo impelling reason for the reassemblng of the state law mak kerS."

THEY PUZZLED HUXLEY.
Terms In Which Ae Found II Difficult
to Define His Belief.

Huxley once wondered whether he
was q deist. an atheist, an agnostic. q
pantheist, q materialist or skeptic, an
idealst, Christian, an infidel or a
freethinker. And the more he reflect
ed the deeper his problem. What an
swer will any one make? DR.. James
c. Fernald in his work Synonyms and
Antonyms'' defines each according to
his own belief. as follows:
1.-The deist admits the existence Of
God. but denies that the Christian
Scriptures are a revelation from Him.
The atheist denies that there is God
The agnostic denies either that we do
know or that we can know whether
there is God. The skeptic doubts d.
vine revelation.
1.-The infdel is an opprobrious term
that might once almost have been said
to be geographical in its range. The
crusaders called all Mohammedans in
fdels and were so called by them in
return The word is commonly applied
to any decided opponent Of an accept
ed religion.
"a freethinker is inclined or addict
ed to free thinking. especially one who
rejects authority or inspiration in re-
ligion. materialist takes interest
only in the material or bodily necessi-
ties and comforts Of life. A pantheist
accepts the doctrine Of pantheism. An
idealist idealizes or seeks an ideal or
ideal conditions. Christian is one
whose profession and life conform to
the teaching and example of Christ.
"Pantheism is the doctrine that God
and the universe are identical. 1t con-
trasts with atheism as the positive de-
NAL and with agnosticism as the dog
; matte doubt Of the existence Of God.
It opposes that form of deism which
denies the divine immanence and sep
arates God from the world"

Fish and Game

Word was received Monday at the
department of inland fisheries and
game of a prosecution in connection
with the bringing Of coyotes into the
Rangeley region, the animals after
wards escaping. The report stated that
Mrs. j. B. Mathieson of Pennsylvania,
whose summer home is in Rangeley
and who is alleged to have brought
several of these wild animals into
Maine from Colorado and allowed them
to escape, was before Trial Justice
Cony NJ. Hoyt at Phillips. charged
with importing wild animals into the
State without permission from the de-
partment of inland fisheries and game.
Probable cause was found and the re-
spondent bound over to the Septem-
Der term of the supreme court.
The department Of inland fisheries
and game is receiving letters nearly
every day inQuiring as to the cost of
non resident fishing licenses. 1t would
appear that a considerable number Of
people residing outside the State have
the impression that Maine has an
anglers license while as a matter of
fact Maine has a hunters license but
70 license for inland fishing.
Report is received by the Inland Fish
and Game department from Chief
Game Warden Andrew Leach Of York
on Sentry hill, went to the place. found
deer suffering with both fore legs
broken, and shot the animal. 1t is ev-
identity the same deer that had pre-
viously been disporting about York
Harbor and probably the dogs had
again got after 1t and in trying to es-
cape the deer jumped or fell, causing
the injury.

fed that it was the same old joke that
has been played on Mr.. Cushman time
and again in the past. Mr.. Cushman is
highly respected and law-abiding old
gentleman and some Of the young
people of this town seem to enjoy irri-
tating him by telling him moose and
deer are being killed and asking him to
have the matter Investigated and the
guilty parties brought to book and
when he has complained to the COM
missioners and they have sent an Off
Ger to investigate these parties will
laugh at the old gentleman and say
why we know nothing about it and told
Uncle John so when he came and
interviewed us. This may be a good
Joke on Mr.. Cushman, but it is quite
expensive to the State.
