Political Arena.

Senator William Joel Stone. OF Mis-

at 4:9O o'clock, succeeding a paralytic
stroke he suffered a few days ago.
Senator Stone was one of the most
picturesque and widely know figures

politics His campaigns had always
been bitter and he fought them Wig
orously to the end.
Was Democratic Leader.
Long allied with the Democratic
party, it came as a great surprise
when he fought and voted against
the arming of American merchant
vessels. The day after this vote.
President Wilson issued his statement
concerning the little group of wilful
men," and Stone was generally in
cluded by the public in his list.
The Senator also voted against the
war declaration. and many singing
criticisms were made of him through
out the nation.

problems. Another class, perhaps
much the larger, think that intelli-
ent government control is the final
solution. Time. patience, and just
appreciation of the difficulties in
volved in the problems are required
to work out a solution.
Taxes and the Rural Problem
One thing is evident, not less, but
rather more, government control Is
necessary. Not less taxes, but more.
The supreme question is how to Sc
cure the best and most economic re-
suits for the money invested by the
government.
The rural problem is one you must
keep in mind. How to make country
life attractive waits your action. II
the world is to be fed, the farmer
must be given government help. Tho
farmers family must have social adj
vantages; his children must be given
the opportunity to secure an adequate
education, an education that will ad-
NIT them to the fellowship of the best
thought Of the year, and at the sama
time be technical enough to give him
the fundamentals of soil chemistry,
the science of breeding, the princi-
pies Of transportation and marketing.
The problem of making the $4,000
miles Of public highway the open
roads to an open market and to the
centers Of social and educational life
must find a solution. At last all the
world admits we are all our brothers
keepers. The welfare and well-be
ing of every citizen is matter Of in
terest to every other citizen. Every
person must be given an equal oppor-
tunity before the law to share in the
social, and industrial
achievements of the wonderful CEN
fury.
All these problems are related to
taXation-more money is required. 1t
is your task under the present laws
and conditions to find and tax with
fairness, and so far as
possible with equality every dollar of
every mans property.
Gentlemen, We trust your delibera-
tons may result in advancing all the
interests Of our people, and in estab-
fishing a new period Of good fellow
ship, and setting forward the day
when every citizen shall give to the
government his confidence, his service
and his love, because the government
is for and by all the people.

Maine Assessors
Continued from PAGE One)

The difficulty is complicated by the
fact that the officers who make the as
sessments are chosen by the people as
sessed. and as the local assessments
are made the basis for county and
state taxation their constituents will
expect them to make the valuations
sufficiently low to protect them against
unfair assessments elsewhere.
The sense OF official duty must be
strong and the firmness considerable
that can resist under such circum-
stances the pressure for some de-
parture from the strict rule of law
as laid down by the constitutional
provision.
The wrong which results in injury
to the TX payer IS .""y likely to
originate with the assessor. The &C
ton OF that officer whel property is
taxed by value. determines the pro-
ptrt'on which shall b, levied on each
indy dual. tax payer. End the taxa
ton is equal or unequal according as
the assessor performs his duty we'll
or i'll.
The law does not intend that wrong
shall result in any case; it gives rem
edies which are supposed to be ade-
quate for all wrongs and We are to
see whether the particular remedy
OF a personal action at law is given
against assessors.
1t Is the proud boast OF our COM
mon law that there Is no wrong with
out a right. on injury without a rem
edy: and this principle permeates ev-
cry phase Of our national life and
makes it possible for the good. bad
and Indifferent citizens to live to-
gether and under the financial aid
necessary for the upbuilding Of our
great commonwealth, for 1t is not
uncommon to encounter in the admin
istration Of tax laws shifts and de-
vices. not amounting to legal fraud,
but which. nevertheless, have in
view the same purpose: To avoid n
just share in the burdens Of public
taxation.
Therefore. the conclusion must me-
cessarily be. honesty belongs to the
property owner in private life as a
patriotic duty. We need the feeling
OF brotherhood: We need to be knit
together in ties Of cordial amity. and
the inward vivifying principle Of our
government must be sympathy and
liberty.
Problems Of Valuation

the poor, are always with US. and

ton so long as property bears the

the problems Of valuation are Of
prime Importance.
81 have approached this subject
mainly from the viewpoint Of munic-
ipal revenue, and the substance of
this address is taken from a PAM
phlet (now in press) on Sources of
Municipal Revenue in Maine. The
study is based upon data collected
from the twenty cities, and twenty IF
the larger towns of Maine.
THE problem Of taxation for local
purposes has become vastly more i'm
portant with the unprecedented in
crease, on account of the war, in the
demands of the Federal Government
upon the taxpayers of the country.
National safety, as we'll as local self
interest, imperatively demand that
we no longer complacently tolerate
the inequalities and inefficiencies of
the period before the war, in our
methods Of assessing taxes. Munic-
qualities must either give up their
programs Of social welfare and even
deny themselves some Of the actual
necessities, or correct the defects in
the present system Of taxation.
Taxation in Maine as the chief
source of municipal revenue, falls
far short of what it should and can
produce Why does such a situation
exist? First, on account of the de.
fects in the assessing Of property;
and second, on account Of the ex-
emption Of property from taxation"
The address in full was instructive
and at many points covered situa-
tions for his listeners in way to
make it invaluable to them. 1t would
have been interesting reading for the
general public did space permit.
