Ever since the exodus OF young p6O-
pie from the farm because IL had become
evident that bigger daily wages and
greater advantages could be secured In
the city than In the country, farms have
been deserted 10 whole or In part. This
has been deplored, generally for senti-
mental reason. People - . whole dis
like to see deserted property. II does
not make the countrywide look prosper
ous. Persona living in the rural Sec
tions have always cherished pictures Of
English country life, and hoped and ex-
pected in some way to build up an
estate which should descend from father
to son for countless generations, and
these desertions gave Q violent wrench
to their ideals, for they were just as
likely to occur In the oldest and most
aristocratic families, a. among those Of
less repute.
Deserted farms do not, however, mean
forfeited ownership. Tax bills follow
the owner to the city; 30 it Ia his until
some one wants it more than he does or
it 10 covered over with tax deeds. II
produces no income, however, only an
out 90 until some time In the dim future
perhaps, be or his children can harvest
. crop Of timber. Sometimes this crop
is generous; but be has been paying in
stead Of receiving Interest on his invest
ment for 10 these many years, and this
10 rarely taken into account when prohts
are added up.
Not only are farms entirely deserted,
but many are partially 30. That 10,
many fields on farms Jet supporting the
owner, are given over to the forest be-
cause they have lost their fertility and
will no longer yield salabls crop.
Nature, however, understands such
cases. She can adapt q crop to such
worn out soils and does-sometimes 4
valuable one. As proof OF this, there
are acres Of white pine growing In Ok
ford County on one time fields 30 i'm
poverlshed-- they had to be abandoned.
10 time these pines became valuable
When town fathers become aware Of this
fact, trouble begins. These same faith
ers need 90 much money to make i'm
provsmsnts and keep their towns up to
date, they are always on the lookout for
new property, or property with IN In
creasing value upon which to levy tax
and 90 keep down the rate per thousand
dollars. It dossn't make much differ
euce In the amount Of tax whether prop
srty 10 valued at fifty per cent OF its
value or at its full value, but the sound
is better. It sounds better to have the
rate one per cent than two, even II the
total amount of assessment or tax 10 the
Same on . given number OF farms.
Thus the temptation to increase the val
uation OF few scrub pines grown mp In
. pasture or where q pasture once was.
These scrub pines do not add TO the
income Of the owner, however, except at
harvest time; and II he has enough Of
them they may impoverish him-make
him land poor, as the saying 10.
The question arises then 40 10 wheth-
or the present methods Of valuation and
taxation are just ones. Whether it
would not be better and cause less in
convenience and perhaps distress to
make . special assessment OF some
stated per cent, st time OF harvest.

Finances


The financial condition Of . gov
ernment Is its cornerstone, while
character is its foundation. During
the stress Of war when the operation
Of the usual system of checks and
balances might cause fatal delays, all
governments to some extent let down
the bars and, regardless Of cost. bent
all their energies to war. The State
of Maine, under the broad and Wise
guidance Of our then Governor. gave
freely Of Its men. its women, and its
wealth. Governor Milliken's record
in those trying years assures him Of
an enduring position In the hearts
and in the history Of our State.
1t Is our duty now to enter upon =
period Of reasonable retrenchment
and trpe economy. The. rate Of State
taxation has climbed steadily from
2h mills In 1905 when the Stats's
expenditures were z3.502.02. to tn
mills In 1890 when they were $lsr
s4l,sss.25. This may properly be 90
counted for In many cases BY . whole
some and necessary increase In me
many activities of the Stats.
Beyond certain point Of taxAtion
we cannot safely 60. The time has
come whom the State, Ike the fn-
diyidual, should strike trial balance
and determine whether or not It lives
within it's income. The tax rats of .
heavily burdensd people should con-
stsntly be before you, and an earnest
effort should be made to eject . reduc-
tion. Upon you members Of the Lesis-
lature who control the purse strings
rest these responsibilities. The expend-
