such manner as the Legislature may
determine, at rates differing from
the rate imposed upon real and per-
sonal property within the State;
and such powers and privileges may
be classified as developed, partially
developed, and undeveloped, and a
different rate of taxation may be i'm
posed upon each class: provided,
however. that all taxes shall be ap-
portioned and assessed equally at
uniform rates of taxation throughout

waters, and the development, i'm

Since then the Governor has made a
number of speeches. His early
speeches were in exact accord with
his declared policy as contained in

no doubt that as he Travelled over the

mitted herewith in my opinion full
fills present day requirements.
This Legislature in my opin-
ion will act wisely if it passes this
constructive legislation, for under the
first paragraph OF the Amendment
the people can derive direct benefit
from the development of storage
reservoirs and water powers, and I'M
der the second some relief from the
crushing burden of taxation can be
obtained without injustice being done
to those who will be called upon to
pay"
The Amendment drawn by Cover
nor Baxter. and submitted with his
message is In the following Ian
guage:
1.-THE conservation, storage control
and use Of waters, and the develop
ment. improvement, transmission,
utilization, electrical interconnection,
control and sale of water powers, by
the State of Maine, either directly on
through such public district or dis
tricts, as the Legislature may auth
orize and not otherwise are de-
clared to constitute paramount pub
lie uses. for the accomplishment of
which the right of eminent domain
may be exercised, and in furtherance
Of which the right of taxation may
be employed; and the Legislature
may also provide therefor and for the
apportionment to, and assessment
upon, the lands and property which
shall, or may be benefited thereby,
and according to the extent of such
benefits. the whole or any part of the
cost of such conservation, storage,
development, improvement, trans
mission, control, electrical, intercon-
nection and utilization of said waters
and water powers, including the cost
of maintenance and operation there
of.
For the purposes Of taxation wa

note with some surprise that YOU
are apparently Of the opinion that
Governor Bakers letter to you,
dated July 2Sth, this year, a copy of
which you sent me, reflects the at
titude Of the Governor as it has ex-
listed from the beginning, and that
you are not aware that he entertain
ed any views different from those ex-
pressed in his letter to you. I wish
I could obtain for you a copy Of
Governor Bakers communication to
the S0th Legislature, signed by him.
and dated March II, 1921, copies of
which were printed and distributed,
but the edition now is entirely ex-
hausted, and I have but one copy
AS you and 1 know. Governor Baxter
for many years has been making a
study of water power matters in the
State, and it is to be assumed that
as result Of this several years
study he had reached some very
definite conclusions, based upon the
facts and differences coming to him
during those years. It Is hardly
conceivable that having devoted all
of those years to this study, he had
entirely abandoned all of those ideas
between the 18th day Of March, 1921,
and the 2Sth day of July in the same
year. Yet his letter to you, bearing
the later date, is as entirely different
from the message which he read to
the Legislature on March 18th as is
possible, and great many people in
Maine who know that he has changed
his language since the Legislature
SO definitely turned down his Con-
stitutio- Amendment are still won
dering whether he has really changed
his views. They still believe they see
the hand of Esau, no matter what
the voice may seem to indicate.
In his message to the Legislature,
Governor Baxter says among other
things, II have prepared, and here
with submit, Constitutional
Amendment for your consideration.
