The Budget.

Feb. 14th. Governor Miliken present.
ed the budget upon which he had been
! working since the Legislature convened.
! 1t is the most complete and satisfactory
presentation of the States income and
needs that has ever been made. The do
! cument in itself is very long and is ac-
compaDed by tables showing the details
of both income and prospective appro-
priations, together with long and COM
prehensive report by the commission ap-
pointed to consider some method of tax
ing intangible personal property.
Several important and sweeping re-
concentrations are made by the Cover
nor in the presentation of his budget
One of these relates to the tax on intan-
gible personal property, folio wing the re-
! concentrations of the commission. The
commission and the Governor favor fl at
tax of three mills on such property and
the establishment of tax commissioner
to collect the tax thus imposed. The
Governor recommends that half of the
tax collected under this system should be
returned to the cities and towns where
it is collected. Such tax would reach
class of property which now escapes
taxation altogether, and if it be taxed it
will add materially to the State.
Another sweeping recommendation is
That the railroad tax, part of which is
now returned to the cities and towns
where the stockholders of railroads and
telephone companies reside, be entirely
retained by the State. The Governor
argues that the retention of this railroad
tax complete will admit of the State tax
being five mills, whereas if it be distri-
huted, the tax will be six mills. Among
other things he recommends the mill tax
for State highways, as it was assumed he
would do, and he includes this proposed
tax in the budget. He likeuise makes
recommendations for the adjustment of
some appropriations for some depart
ments, the transfer of others, and many
important changes, the advisability of
which will be for the Legislature to de-
termine.

Blaine Mansion for Governors Home

For a number of years there has been
talk of providing an executive mansion in
the Capital City for the Governor. Re-
preventative Cole of Eliot has introduced
resolution which provides that COM
mittee of five be appointed to investigate
the proposition.
''The Governor is obliged to reside in
Augusta" Mr.. Cole said, because a
law to that effect was passed by the last
Legislature This entails no hardship
upon the present Governor, but the next
one may not fare SO we'll. 1t is almost
notorious, that only the wealthy or very
well-to do dare aspire to the office, and l
think it only proper for the State to pur-
chase and equip residence.
''The old Blaine mansion is for SALE
To what better use could this fine old
mansion, with its honored traditions, be
put than for the Chief Executive of
Maine?"
The resolve received unanimous pas

THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN.
Are You Doing Your Share to Make 1t
Bio Success?

The greatest thrift movement in the
history of this country now appears to
be making considerable Roadway. The
American Savings Bank association Is
giving much time and energy to this
thrift campaign and Offering especial
encouragement to the new depositor OF
small sums. Women, children and
young wage earners are being particu-
larly sought as depositors by banks all
over the country. Parents are urged
to start small bank accounts for their
children, to teach them thrift, since
the habit of saving does more than
build up bank account; it builds char
acter and credit, and the child of today
may be glad ten or fifteen years hence
to have the reputation of being thrifty
and substantial.
The man without money-at least a
few hundred dollars-is not likely to be
regarded as of great consequence by
his fellows. Money is not everything
nor even the thing to be most desired.
Good health and good character are
more to be desired than great riches.
But money bears close relation to al
most everything worth while. 1t Is
therefore important to train children
in ways of thrift, and nothing gives a
child more of sense of Importance
than bank account in his own name.
Such an account is good for the wo-
man In the home too Many wives feel
hopelessly and even rather resentfully
dependent on their husbands. A saw
ings bank account in her own name
not only cures many woman Of eX-
travagance and unbusinesslike methods
Of conducting her household, but gives
her feeling of independence and self
respect that makes the whole atmos-
phere of her home appier.-Exchange.

SETTLING ACCOUNTS.
People Are Now Paying Up at Shorter
Intervals Than Formerly.

Business men are agreed that a very
noticeable change has come about in
the past five years in the matter of
paying accounts. While that length of
time ago yearly settlements were the
rule, settlements at much shorter peri
DDS are now getting to be the fashion.
Just what has brought this about is
hard to say. Possibly there are a num-
Der of things which have worked to-
gether to bring about this good result
Of course, years ago, before this coun-
try began raising stock, there was but
about one time in each year when
farmer had any money. Consequently
no one else had any except at that
time. Now, with creameries paying off
every two weeks and with 1--we stock
marketed any time during the year,
money flows far more evenly.
Then, too, banks are coming to be
far more generally used than before,
which accounts for an evener flow OF
money. The farmer borrows money to
tide him over till he sells something
rather than stand off his creditors as
long as he formerly did.
A number of younger men have gone
into various businesses of late years,
most of them without sufficient capital
to enable them to carry accounts long.
They W ere therefore compelled to make
frequent collections, and that might be
said to have started the habit of pay
ing up all around
Automobiles, which are alternately
blamed and credited for almost every
thing, may be said to have had some
thing to do with the matter of credits.
Automobile accessories run into money
very fast, and garages, being of COM
paratively modern creation, started
out at once to keep book accounts
down. The motorist, therefore, was
educated at the start to pay up his
garage bill frequently. This helped
along other lines of business as we'll.
Many lines Of business make month
ly collections the rule, and it Is admit
ted by every one to be the best plan all
around-Osage Qa) Press-Journal
