Harold NJ Sewall of Bath. the chair

from President Wilson. saying that
this State in extending its national de-
tense organization by the creation of

vital Significance.

thoroughly carried out in welding the
nation together as no nation Of great
size has ever been welded before" says
President Wilson.
1T will build up from the bottom an
understanding and sympathy and unity
of purpose and effort which no doubt
have an immediate and decisive effect
upon our great undertaking. You will
find it, l think, so much a new task as
a unification of existing efforts. a
fusion of energies now too much scat
tered and at times somewhat confused
into one harmonious power.
TT is, only by extending your or
ganization to small communities that
every citizen of the State can be
reached and touched with the inspira-
ton OF the common cause. The school
house has been suggested as an apt
though not essential center for your
local counsel. 1t symbolizes one of the
first fruits of such an organization.
namely, the spreading of the realiza-
ton of the great truth that it is each
one Of us as an individual citizen upon
whom rests the ultimate responsibility.
Through this great new organiza-
ton we will express with added empha-
sis our will to win and our confidence
in the utter righteousness of our plr-

DENIES DETERMINATION
OF THE NON-RESIDENTS

A editorial in the Boston Herald Of
March 3, dealing with the subject OF
taxation in Maine, was called to the
attention of Chairman Clement S.
Stetson of the Maine State Board of
Assessors, who Immediately after
reading said that much of it was in
correct in statement and meaning.
Said he:
THE statement that local assessors
in Maine are in the habit of crowdins
the non resident property owners is
absolutely incorrect. In fact, we be-
lieve they are very lenient toward the
out-of-State people. We are con-
stantly finding property in Maine, in all
sections. owned by non-residents, that
has never been listed, to say nothing of
paying a tax here in Maine. We are
constantly finding valuable summer
cottages, motor craft and other prop
erty whose nonresident owners have
not volunteered the existence of to the
assessors and the assessors have not
discovered said existence.
Neither is the rate of taxation i'm
posed on what non resident property
that is discovered higher than that on
resident property; it is precisely the
same in all cases. Much property es-
capes. but we are IN hopes that by the
means of awakening the local asses
sors to the sense of their full re-
sponsibility as assessors and by diligent
search by the State Board to gradually
get all property in Maine on the tax
assessors books where it belongs, that
it may bear its fair share of the public
burden.
But, so far as any over-taxation of
resident property is concerned.
the statement is all bosh.''
