Mex. Council Meeting ;. . 10 A. N, Thursday Dec 2s

Some Of these people go SO far as to
claim that all pulpwood lands should be
exempt from taxation entirely. With
more than 100 of these townships. each
containing more than 5000 acres with
constant cutting going on. with de-
structive forest fires and annual growth
increase, the magnitude Of the task in
keeping up with the procession can be
appreciated. So long as the present
law is in force, it Will be the policy Of
this board, aided by such information
as is available and such investigs ton
as we can make, to place such valuation
as in our judgment is just and equit-
able.
"Our pulp and paper mills are among
the biggest industries in the State. and
We readily recognize the fact that they
are tremendous asse. to the State,
giving employment to thousands Of peo-
pie and distributing large amounts OF
money annually. The same contentious
are made for consideration relative 10
valuation on these properties as are
made by owners of other large proper
ties. We can see no reason why these
are rot properly taxable Under the law
as all other property. and we contend
that tax upon this kind Of property
assessed upon full valuation is not so
grea. a burden az is the tax on some
small property owners who are obliged
to pay the collector in installments. and
finally to pay interest upon a small bal
ance to save his property from being
sold for taxes. and especially 10 this
true when a big share Of the stock in
some of the larger industries Is held by
nonresident owners. whose only inter-
est in Maine is to draw dividends to be
spent outside the State"

BILL TO STOP THE BOOZE
SPECIALS TO BALTIMORE
State Senator hIetzerott Would Make
It Difficult to Buy Bottled Goods
10 Maryland City.

Many Baltimore liquor dealers are
said to favor a bill that has been in
troduced in the Maryland Legislature
by Senator Metzerott, of Prince
Georges County. The bill is designed
to put stop to the practice Of in
toxicated Washingtonians riding on
the so-called booze specials" between
Baltimore and Washington, and 70
make it more difficult for them to pur-
chase bottled liquor in the Monu-
mental City.
Senator Metzerott would put a stop
to sale of bottles of liquor by keepers
of drinking saloons and permit their
sale only in places holding a special
license for that purpose, and no place
would be permitted TO operate under
both classes Of licenses, He would re-
quire holders OF licenses permitting
the sale OF bottled goods to close their
places early enough in the day to pre-
vent Washington residents from go
ing there at night and buying supplies.
It is Senator Metzerott's belief that
enactment Of his bill into law will inn
prove the almost unbearable condi-
tions which. he says. have arisen since
the capital went dry.

CHAMPION MAN-KlLLER
TODAY IS HEART DISEASE
Proved By Statistics Deaths Due From
Heart Disease Number Two Thirds

Almost a third Of the S9S,059 deaths
in the United States in the sregistra-
ton area" which contains two-thirds
of the population, are due to three
causes-heart disease, tuberculosis
and pneumonia-an heart disease is
first The Bureau of the Census has
compiled figures which tell the story
better than words.
The deaths from heart diseases in
the registration area in 1914 number
ed 99,5S4, or 1903 per 100000 popula-
ton This mortality rate shows a
marked increase as compared with
1900, when il was only 1891 per 1O0,-
600.
tuberculosis in its various forms
claimed 96,s03 victims in 1914, of
which number S4.366 died from tu-
berculosis Of the lungs AS a result
of a more general understanding OF
the laws OF health. there has been a
most marked decrease during recent
years in the mortality from this
scourge Of civilization In only a de-
cade-from 19e4 to 1914-the death
rate from tuberculosis in all its forms
fell from 200.7 to 14e.S per 100, ,000, the
decline being continuous from year to
year. This is drop Of more than %
per cent Even yet, however, tuber-
culosis has the gruesome distinction
Of causing more deaths annually than
any other form Of bodily Illness ex-
cept heart diseases. and over 40 per
cent more than al external causes
accidents, homicides. and suicides
combined
Pneumonia was responsible for S3,-
S04 deaths in the registration area in
1914. or 127 per 100.000-the lowest
rate on record. The only remaining
death rate higher than 100 per 100 600
in 1914 was that for Brlghxs disease

The less essential industries them
selves may be further classified. as it
probably will be found necessary to
keep some of them running more
steadily than others.
The preferential and curtailment
plan, DR.. Garfield made clear Is an
emergecy arrangement made neces-
sary by famine conditions. When re-
lief appears for the shortage that is
bringing suffering TO thousands in
Eastern cities the orders will be
modified.
Fuel administration officials hope
that relief may be made possible by
shutting down the less essential in
dustries for three days a week, but If
it appears that this will not material
ly benefit conditions, they will be
forced to remain closed until relief is
assured
State Fuel Administrators were
given wide authority two weeks ago
in apportioning coal shipments, but
the shortage in the East has become
so general DIR. Garfield decided that
the situation should be handled large
ly from Washington The State Fuel
administrators will be given definite
instructions as to distribution in con
formity with the Fuel Administra-
tion's general plan The purpose is
to bring a uniform degree OF action
and thus save confusion in adminis-
