PENSIONS
Providing Additional Pensions for Dis.
abled Spanish War Veterans

Before the committee on pensions
Thursday afternoon was a bill introduced
in the House by Representative Wilson
OF Portland providing a pension of not
less than $40 a month for soldiers of
Maine who received a disability discharge
during the Spanish-American War, pro-
viding they were residents of Maine at
the time of their enlistment and one veal
previous to enlistment.
Charles A. Darlington of Portland ap-
peared in support of the bill and stated
hat there were about 80 Maine men who
were discharged from the service on ac-
count of disabilities during the Spanish
War. and that of that number II had died
and the balance are now receiving a PEN
disability they are unable to work. He
explained that no appropriation is asked
in the bill, that being left to the next
Legislature. He also explained that at
that time it would be necessary all that
would be called fer to meet the additional
amount would be $3.50. He pointed out
that in view of the movement for pre-
paredness the proposed legislation f
granted would interest volunteers in case
of war and make them feel that disa-
bility in service would be at least in part
compensated for and recognized by the
State.

stated that either the latter should
pay a tax on savings deposits or the
entire State tax on savings deposits
should be wiped out. He held that a tax
of three-eighths of / per cent. would
not be burdensome.
Mr.. Undertake at this time pointed
out that the average dividend the saw
ings banks of the State were paving
at the present time was 3.S7 per cent,
this coming in reply to a statement that
the rates in vogue were 8 1-2 and 4
per cent.
Mr.. Callahan in commenting upon a
matter brought up stated that at the
meeting of the savings bank officials
OF the State last December in Portland
the general statement was made that
the National bank people would not op-
pose a tax upon savings deposits in
their banks.
The argument by Hon. A. s. Little
held of Rockland was a legal one in
the strfctest sense of the word, the
legal and constitutional phases Of the
case being presented. He commended
that the State has no authority to i'm
pose a tax such as is proposed. He
held further that is unconstitutional
according to the State constitution and
the National bank act. He stated that
the bill is practically identical with a
similar law which has been adopted by
the Legislature and held to be
constitutional, but added that the sit
uation by which it was declared to be
constitutional in Vermnt does not
maintain in this State. He argued that
the State has no power to tax National
banks deposits unless that ~au+bor;+v
is given by Congress. He stated that
the State could not take out a certain
class OF intangible property and make
a special tax rate upon it this being pre-
vented by the State constitution.
Former Bank Commissioner Timber
lake stated that there were two oues-
lions one whether the tax was a fair
one. and the other whether the law
would benefit the people at large. He
stated that the man who drafted the
Dill must have been cunning for Ma
tlonai banks, and argued that it. was
an act that would drive National banks
to become trust companies. He stated
mat there had been a marked change
IN the character Of the banking insti-
tutions and added that in 1908 there
were Sc National banks and is trust
companies with nine branches. while
today there were 67 National banks
and 46 trust companies with q
branches.
