MONEY SAVED IN TAXES.

High prices resulting from war
conditions have introduced the same
perplexities and emergencies into the
business affairs of the State that con
front the average man in his family
expense account l have no time 10
tell you in detail how these problems
have been met. 1t Is sufficient to say
that every need of each State depart
ment and institution has been fully
met, the bodybuilding program mas
been continued at less increase ABOVE
normal cost and with less overhead
charge than In any other eastern stats.
All building projects except those
which were delayed with the approval
of the Capital Issues Board have peen
carried on, and yet in the fact OF war
conditions and increased costs, we
have run the State at tax rate OF TWO
mills less per year than the auditor OF
the previous administration estlmat-
ed would be necessary. This mas
meant g saving of more than two MIL
lion dollars in the two years and any
of you gentlemen can note the saving

following statement:
W. j. Heal, retired farmer, 80 Miller

back and kidneys. At times my back
ached so it was difficult for me to stoop
over or straighten up. Since then when
my back troubled me, got Doan's Kid

with my kidneys. l take this medicine
occasionally and it keeps my kidneys in

There was q substantial saving
even from these figures in the year
1917 as indicated by the contingent
fund balance of over 100000 on July
nrst 1918, a balance accumulated out
OF unexpended appropriations for the
previous year. There will also be
substantial balance on the right side
at the end of the year 1918.
These results were made possible
IN the first instance by the wise act of
the Legislature in adopting the budget
system and further by close personal
attention of the heads of departments,
members of the Executive Council
and myself to every detail of the
states business. No checking ac
counts are no wheld for the State of
Maine outside the State Treasury All
receipts and disbursements are to and

NO CONCEALMENT: NO APOLOGY.
I'm general, without taking more Of
your time in discussion of the de-
talls, let me say that the present State
Administration has nothing to conceal
ana nothing to apologize for. We have
treated the States business from a
business standpoint and not from po-
htical standpoint. We have carried
out unn1nchingly our promise to the
people that the resources of the State
would be used to the utmost for the
rigid and impartial enforcement of all
the laws Of the State | have always
been accessible to any citizen who
wanted to see me for any purpose and
have listened patiently to all the ad-
vice that has been given me about ap-
po1ntments and all other public ques-
tons, but | have made my own decis-
ions and no man or group Of men
could ever dictate what course of &C.
ton | should follow. | have consist
emily refused to remove Democrats
from office during the term for which
they have been appointed unless had
sufficient reason other than the fact
that he belonged to a different politi-
cal party, and no political influence
has been sufficient to secure the ap-
pointment of even a janitor to the
State House, unless we felt satisfied
that he was qualified for his Job.
am not Indifferent TO political success
or failure nor am ignorant OF the sup
posed requirements of political ex-
pediency. but can honestly say to you
this afternoon that not since taking
the oath of office in January. 1911,
have turned aside from what seemed
to be my duty because of the possible
political effect of any action of mine.
The present State administration
in Maine stands for complete cooper
alton with the Federal government in
every item of the war program for
management Of the States affairs in
accordance with business principles
and for uniform uucOmpromising en-
forcemeut of the law In common with
