roads Sre also interlocked with such
coal companies. The two dollar
price is merely a point of departure
at which the wholesaler begins to
reckon his retail profit, for he is also
the retailer.
If the two-dollar mine price be-
comes extortionate at the stove or
furnace of the consumer, there is am
pie power in the law to find out where
the profiteering comes in and check
it.
Coal Controller Garfield probably
will begin by putting his finger on
points of congestion and undertaking
their relief. If this does not work,
there are other remedies.

The State House was handsomely deco

dered by the citizens of Augusta to the
Governor, Executive Council the members

UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF TAXES

WASHINGTON. Feb, 26, 1917. In a
short but comprehensive speech during
the debate on the Revenue bill, Repres-
entative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois,
summed up the record of the Democratic
administration in extravagant expendi-
ture of money and forcefully presented
the unfairness of it's schemes of taxation.
The following paragraph shows the un
fairness of Democratic distribution of
tax burdens:
1.-The Northern States pay "a per cent
of the expenses of the Government of
the United States, and the Southern
States pay per cent. When the Demo
cratic party is in power the South is in
control, and the people who pay per
cent of the bills have the power to tax
those who pay "a per cent; and in the
exercise of that power they never over
look chance to tighten the burdens f
the people of their own section, while
they give no consideration whatever to
the rights of those who live in other Sec
lions of the country. Business efficiency
is taxed by an inc fficient majority in this
House whose lack of knowledge and
reckless extravaganza have run the
finances of the country upon the rock of
bankruptcy, beyond the hope of repair. -
Every voter should write Congressman
Madden for copy Of his speech.
That the Democrats are able to derive
such a large revenue from internal taxa
ton because of the carefully nurtured
prosperity which the Republicans left as
a legacy to the Democratic Administra-
ton is the contention of Congressman
Henry w. Watson of Pennsy lvania.
''The Republican protective tariff was
the energy which developed our great
resources, asserts Mr.. Watson, land
the Democratic Party depends upon that
prosperity from which to collect reve-
nue. to meet Incorporate Democratic dis
bursements. Representative Watson
recognizes the right of the party in con-
troll to impose their economic theories on
the country, but must deny his support
to a bill that will inevitably reduce wages.
further increase the cost of living. and
add more burdensome taxation.

Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1917. Can you
believe there are kiddies who never saw
a birds nest? There are thousands of
them right in New York city, according
to 7. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties. There are New York children
| who perhaps never saw any kind of a
bird except the English sparrow, or may
be pigeon.
To teach these children that there are
birds of beautiful plumage that fly and
sing, build nests, lay beautifully coiored
eggs and hatch tiny birds, the Junior
Au dubons, the name under which chill
dren members of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies are known,
have, in some parts of the country,
started plan to show the little ''shut
ms" of New York hospitals and other
institutions how these little nests are
made.
Many Junior Audubons living in rural
districts, last fall, collected the deserted
nests of different kinds of birds. They
then took the colored bird pictures which
Mr.. Pearson sends them as soon as they
become members, made "cut-outs" of
them, put the bird on its nest and sent
the nests to New York hospitals where
little sick and crippled children are con-
fined.
The happiness that the sight of the
little homes of the feathered songsters
brought to the pale faced little sufferers
was JOY to behold" Mr.. Pearson said.
1T was pathetic to reallze," said he,
''that these little children, who never
had the benefit of the fields and fresh
air, had never seen the nest of bird. "
There were 205, 900 children in 5000
bird clubs, last year. They studied the
habits of birds from the illustrated
pamphlets they received from the Audu-
bon Societies when they paid their ten
cents and became Junior Audubons, but
this Junior work cost the Association
S25, 900 more than the amount of these
fees. They also received little mem
bership button. The school teachers
who enrolled them received BIRD Lore"
the illustrated publication of the Audi
bon societies.
These little bird protectors, last year,
built more than IT'S, 900 bird boxes. Some
of these they sold and sent the money to
sick soldiers in Europe. They fed mil
lions of birds, some of the clubs having
bird tag days to raise money to buy food
for the birds during the snowy season.
A report from Memphis, Tenn, men,
Der says there were a thousand Junior
Audubons in that vicinity and that hunt
tiers can no longer violate the law with
out finding some ''kiddy" peeping at him.
The children have induced their mothers
in many cases to quit wearing bird feath-
ers on their hats, Mr.. Pearson says. Mr..
Pearson hopes to have half million
Junior Audubons this year. He is look
ing for some kind hearted man or woman
to give him the money needed to secure
the additional quarter of million chill
drep.

Santa Clara county Maine association
met in Schofeld hall, gay with American
flags, in the Y. w. e. A. building to en-
Joy delicious spread by the ladies of
that association. Soon after o'clock

ner.
Mrs. E. L. Wilson captured the audi
ence with her original Irish selection,
"Mrs. Casey's First Auto Ride" and
responded to two encores with other fine
selections.
Mrs. Ella McDowell's sweet soprano
solos, which were encored, were follow
ed by the reading of the obituary of
natives of Maine, who have passed away
in this county during the past year. This
was read by Miss Annie Thompson.
Baritone solos by Robert Waidhaas
were gems of voice and execution, as
were also the solos given Dy Dudley
Wendt in his magnificent dramatic voice,
with the finish and ease of grand opera
singer.
Excellent addresses were made by
Senator Herbert Jones, son of the late
Stephen A. Jones, one of the associa-
ton s most beloved past presidents, and
by DR.. John L. Seaton, president Of the
College of the Pacific. Both speakers
proved good entertainers, holding the
rapt attention of the entire audience.
A beautiful, original poem on the Pts
cataquls river III wi dine was ieoo Wy
Mrs. Dlnsmore. 1t was dainty gem of
poetical inspiration.
Little Miss Ruth Cauchman gave two
splendid recitations that showed unusual
talent and training.
Mrs. R Walgren's rich soprano solo,
can Irish Love Song" was a delight,
she responding 10 an emphatic encore.
The program closed with the singing of
America.
Resolutions of regret were passed up
on the absence of the two honorary
presidents, VIM. H. Seeman, WHO is
seriously ill at his residence on Lincoln
avenue, and Mrs. E b. D. Bradlee,
whose genial presence was greatly
missed.
The next gathering of the association
will be at Congress Springs In jnne.
