Mount, president of the Advance-Rum
ely company, believe a thirty-day OPP
ton on all Gaar-Scott property will De
secured within the next few days. A
holding company will then be formed
to dispose of the property
This is part of the plan which has
been evolved in the attempt to induce
a large manufacturing company to To-
cate here. The corporation will not
be able to use all the buildings. Direc-
tors of the club believe that the organ
ization of a holding company will be
the solution to the problem.
Members of the committee said to-
day that the Rumely concern is hold
ing the local buildings at price which
it would be impossible for local hold
ing company to take over the property.

YOUNG men ASSUME
CHARGE OF WORSHIP
AT FIRST CHURCH

More interesting than any movie
show
This is the slogan which the young
men of the First Methodist Sunday
school have adopted in their effort to
attract large attendance especially
of young people to the church services
Sunday night.
Giving the young mems class charge
of the evening worship is an innova-
tion which has never been tried by. the
church board. The young men believe
more young persons would attend
church if they realized how interest
ing the services can be made The
class which includes in its personnel
several talented musicians will furnish
special numbers. A fifteen-minute
talk will be given.
Members of the class are requested
to meet the teacher in the reading
room of the Y. NJ. c. A. at Z o'clock
Tuesday evening.

the hands of the committee.
TT was claimed by some lawyers in
1914 that such a State tax would be
unconstitutional, the banks being Ma
tional institutions. but note-that the
state Of Vermont has passed a fran
chise tax law and the supreme court
Of the United States has declared ii
constitutional in every particular. The
case was that of the Clement National
Bank of Rutland, VT, which made a
contest"
The Journal in further investigating
the matter found in the public reports
that in 1915 the corporation taxes de-
rived from the Trust and Banking
Corporations in Maine amounted to
$150,116.3O and from Savings Banks
the sum of 4S3,436.S4.
The Journal also found in the re-
port of the comptroller of the United
States treasury under date Of March
4, 1914, that Al of the 50 National
Banks then doing business in Maine
conducted savings departments. with
a total Of s26,51S,152.29 in deposits.
The working out Of the matter in

come will be watched with a great

State Board Of Assessors, asking his
McIntire said:
Il don't think the board has any
public expression to make at present
on this matter. but you may say that
the State Assessors have always been
of the opinion that these deposits in
the savings departments of National
Banks should be treated the same as
other deposits and we have been con-
stantly on the watch and ready to in
vestigate any and all methods Of how
to best arrive at the proper way to
handle the situation.
You will find by reference to the
State Assessors published reports our
recommendations on that point"
And the journal found the following
from the reports:
1s12-"We again call attention to the
large amount Of deposits now escap-
ing taxation in the savings depart
ments of National Banks and in fair
ness to all. would respectfully suggest
to the next Legislature, that these de-.
posts be treated in some manner
similar to savings, and the interest
bearing deposits Of trust and banking
companies"

included: such legislation as may be
expedient, in order that interest bear
ing deposits in National Banks. may
be treated on a basis similar to de-
posts in savings banks and trust COM

FOREST PATROLMEN
AND THEIR 1915 WORK

One hundred and three patroImen
were commissioned during the past
year for service In the Maine Forestry
District by Hon. Frank E. Mace of
Augusta, State forestry commissioner.
In addition to these, several deputy
wardens performed patrol duty in
emergency cases.
Up to the first of July the full force
Of patrolmen was necessary as the
woods were very dry. With the heavy
rains of the summer the men were
laid off as conditions prompted. All
patrolmen were finally retired for the
season on the last day of September.
During wet periods when patrollins
was not necessary and while they were
still on duty. much was accomplished
in the way of construction and repair
Of telephones, clearing and making

TWO FAITHFUL FISH
AND GAME WARDENS

captain William T. Pollard, perhap s
pest known as Capt. "Tim," who has
recently been appointed chief of the
inland fish and game wardens of the
State of Maine, has had long and
faithful service in this department, in
TACT but one warden having seen lon
ger service-Frank w. Perkins of
Bradley, the record in the Executive
department showing the first date for
commission bearing his name to be
May 10, 1889. The same book dates
the first commission for Capt. Pollard
on May 10, 1895.
This was back in the days Of the old
Commission Of Fisheries, which looked
after the business Of both the sea and
shores and the inland fish and game.
The present Commission of Inland
Fish and Game came into existence in
1885. when the first sea and shore
commissioner was appointed. two new
departments being organized. Both
the Inland department.
The new chief game warden has had
his cruising grounds principally in
PiscataQuis and northern Penobscot
counties and but few II any men in
the State possesses the intimate
knowledge Of those sections Of forest
land as he. His title Of captain comes
from the fact that he was at one time
commander Of the famous old Doughty
Guards Of Dover and Foxcroft.
Warden w. Perkins is now chief Of
the Penobscot and Hancock county
regions, although he has a wide
knowledge Of other sections. Both of
the men, have had exciting expert
ences during their long service in the
