w. Tudor Gardiner
On Taxation Before
League Women Voters

At the regular meeting of the
League of Women Voters at the Y.
NJ. G. A. building, Tuesday evening,
William Tudor Gardiner. Esq. of this
city, gave a most interesting discus
sion on the subject of taxation. TAX
ing up mostly that of Intangible prop
erty namely stocks and bonds, Mr..
Gardiner said that only per cent.
Of such property owned by residents
of the State Of Maine is really taxed.
The present tax when enforced Is at
such a high rate of taxation on
stocks and bonds since the report or
the special committee made in 1890.
Gov. Milliken referred the matter
again in 1917 and a committee re-
ported such tax. He told of the
subsequent defeat of the Constitu-
tional amendment in 1920. He told of
the law passed by the last session
Of the State Legislature on Bank stock
which he said meant loss of reve-
nue. to 303 cities and towns and a
certain loss Of 1000 to the State of
Maine. The advantages Of a State
income tax he said, would mean much
10 the people of the State. In closing.
he advised his hearers to invest in
Maine enterprises that would insure
a certain amount of capital for the
development of Maine resources and
for the charging of the industries OF
the State.

the show from beginning to end and
which went long ways for its sue

The Elks' Charity Ministries of 1921
certainly scored a big success, and it
was due in large degree to the most

SANE DIPLOMACY
Continued from Pace Qnel

TT is evident that mass immigra-
ton of aliens of particular race on
the one hand, and unfair and discrmi-
natory treatment of them on the other,
will equally tend to hamper their nat
ural process of assimilation. Neither
of such obstacles should be permitted
to exist if assimilation is to be en-
couraged. And after all there are only
1000 Japanese in the whole mainland
of the United States"
Referring to the statement that the
Japanese were not assimilable, he
said that when given the opportunity
and privilege the Japanese were cap
able of intellectual and spiritual as
similations which are compatible with
good citizenship, dgnified manhood
and loyal service to the community in
which he resides"
But does it seem quite fair" he
asked, ito condemn men for keeping
alive old allegiances so long as they
are denied the privilege of forming
new ones? Every man must have a
country and loyalty to that country
is one of the supreme virtues"

labor secretary, that pressure by
government officials would, force
Benson to listen to reason.
Working rules proposed by Sec
rotary Davis, were said to have met
the approval of union officials, who
headed by Thomas B. Healey, repre-
senting the Marine Engineers of the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, con-
ferred with him today The matter
of wage reductions was not dis
cussed. it was stated. The union
heads will meet again with Secre-
tary Davis tomorrow.
At the cabinet meeting today, the
secretary is understood to have said
that the situation looked hopeful.
Possible use of naval reserves to
man shipping board vessels was said
by representatives Of the engineers
to be satisfactory to them as most
of them are naval reservists.
Reports to the board today from
all districts, officials said, indicated
that as far as ship movement was
concerned the situation was gener-
ally satisfactory.
In New York, however, officials
said, some difficulty was experienced
as strikers were picketing the
boards recruiting offices and in Bal
timore the situation seemed rather
unsatisfactory
In Boston, Norfolk, Savannah and
Charleston. reports indicated there
wouldebe no difficulty in moving YES
sells. Galveston appeared to be tied
up. but in New Orleans the situation
was good.
Discussing claims by the men that
the boards 10 per cent wage cut
amounted to reduction of from
4O to 30 per cent, Chairman Benson
declared that the difference was fig
ured through the loss of what he de-
scribed as overtime graft"
Overtime has been admitted by the
men to be graft to a great extent
he said, and by cutting out this
practice the board can effect a great
saving. Last year, he said, $50. 900,
900 Of the boards wage bill was for
overtime. or 10 per cent. Of that
item of expense"
