The 9act provides that it shall be I'M

upon a street car or other vehicle, in

come under existing TAX laws and at
tax rate agreed upon after a conference
with the committees. and, also the over
head expenses and the amount of money
left over to meet special appropriations
which are asked for. The Legislature
will then determine what special appro-
priations should have preference.
1T is not my purpose to go beyond
for public departments and
institutions, and charitable institutions
of public nature.
The Governor also indicated that he
would include in the budget report OF
what revenue might be expected under
proposed changes in the taxation laws.
In reply to another question from Sen
ator Deering, the Governor said there
would be no. need of formal hearings by
the appropriations committee if the in
situations were satisfied with the ap-
preparations recommended in the budget.
but that if they were dissatisfied all their
rights would be preserved in formal COM
mittee hearings.
AS a member of the committee on sal
aries and fees, Representative Rounds OF
Portland asked how it would be possible
to tell in advance how many applica-
tons would come in for increases in SAL
aries. which increases, he thought, would
be justified by the high cost of living.
The Governor replied that he hoped all
these applications would be filed as soon
as possible. and that the salaries COM
mittee would confer with him on the pol
icy to be followed in increasing salaries.
Asked by Senator Beering of York
whether the Governor" and Council, in
the executive budget, would scale down
the appropriations of over $4,000, 000 the
Governor replied that if all the money
asked for was appropriated. the tax rate
would have to be eight mills year.
The recommendations in the budget
will balance" said the Governor, the
report of probable income on one side
and the. recommended appropriations on
the other. The difficulty that we have
experienced in the past is that the COM
mttees have not known how much they
could appropriate and come out even Or
their tax rate Fhen the executive bud
get is presented, the committees will
know how much they can appropriate
and come out even, and that if they in
crease those appropriations they must
also increase the revenue

The Man Who Abdicatcd

POSSIBLY the man who can best un-
derstand the sublimity of the great
renunciation of John the Baptist, in
surrendering his leadership and his
disciples to Jesus is the pastor who,
upon the advent of an evangelist in
Lis community, suspends his own
services, gives up his own plans,
and becomes a mere assistant to the
temporary preacher, probably being
denounced by the latter after all.
All the while he knows that the
evangelist could not hold a pastorate
or succeed in the exacting and con-
tinuing work of the man whom he
has for the moment displaced and OBJ
scured.
John the Baptist was so thoroughly
first-class that he was able to take
a second place. He was great enough
to know a greater. Therefore, with
Jesus. All the prestige he had won,
all the popularity he had built up,
all the following he had gained, he
laid down as a cloak on the highway
of the One whose messenger he had
been. Let us tarry to thank God for
this John the Baptist spirit, which
has never been absent from the
church. The richness of the Chris
tian fellowship is in these superior
saints who take a secondary place.
Their faith is that THE Father
which seeth in secret, he shall re-
ward you openly" Whittier's fa-
miliar lines might have been written
of the Baptist and all who follow in
his train:
