is to create so much popular senti-
ment in favor of reform that the own
ers of intangible property who have
hitherto opposed such legislation will
cooperate in drawing fair tax bill.
Until this cooperation Is obtained there
is little possibility OF passing such
legislation. The opponents Of reform.
the speaker stated, are of course op-
posed to the Legislature having power
to tax incomes. because an income tax
is the fairest and best method Of tax
ing intangible property.
Mr.. Gardiner used a chart showing
the average tax'rate for all cities and
towns in the State. the assessed value
of all property in the State subject TO
State, county and local taxes, and the
assessed value of all tangible proper
ty that is reached by our present tax
laws.
In closing he said: 1T is we'll that
we should change our laws slowly. but
there would be nothing precipitate in
adopting some of the suggestions
made by the special commission Of
1890 or by the able committee appoint
ed by Governor Milliken, which also
recommended the adoption OF legisla-
ton to tax Intangible property. If
Justice and a square deal require
change in the tax laws, cannot suffl-
cient interest be aroused in demand
ing a change? If the State OF Maine
is to advance, she must be able to
boast that her tax laws are as fair and
as just as the hearts Of her citizens"

We're twice attacked by strike SYM
pathizers, as they started to leave a
packing plant and several arrests
were made for minor disturbances.
The calling out of troops at South
st. Paul followed attempts of the
packing companies to bring workers
to the plants to take the places of
the strikers, labor leaders refusing to
discontinue the picketing.
While little violence was reported at
Kansas City, Kansas. the district

ability to pay q tax, could be readily
scanned by the eye. His property
was tangible and visible. But now
a-ddys il is common knowledge that
n large part of the wealth owned by
individuals is represented by the
class of property we term intangible,
the term covering shares of stock,
bonds and other forms of paper
which represent money at interest
or ownership OF property which may
be situated in other states or foreign
countries, the paper itself represent
ing an income bearing wealth in the
hands of the owner. Our laws state
in substance that all the wealth of
the<state shall be taxed and the law
and the constitution indicate that
there shall be no discrimination
shown in the assessment of the tax
burden. The definition of personal
estate to be taxed is broad enough
to cover most of the intangible prop
crty owned in the state, but the ma
chinery for the enforcement of such
taxation is lacking.
"The most glaring and obvious in
equality in the execution of our tax
system is the escape of intangible
property from any form of taxation.
The problem is not a new one. The
difficulty is not in the enforcement
but arises from inadequate laws. The
assessor is bIamcless, the legislator
is at fault
At this point the gentleman laid
emphasis on the fact the question
can be traced back to a report OF
special commission appointed by the
legislature of 1889. which recommend
ed in the strongest terms the passage
of such legislation as would reach
intangible property, quoting extracts
from statements made by governors
for several years prior to that date.
, The matter was next taken up by an
able committee appointed by Cover
nor Milliken, on which Justice Spear
and President Sills served. They al
so recommended the adoption of such
legislation.
Representative Gardiner then
touched on the history of the income
tax amendment which was placed
before the voters q year ago last
September.
The adoption Of this amendment was
urged by the platform of both Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. but IS
said to have been defeated chiefly BY
the fact that unsigned politica! adver-
tisements were circulated just prior to
election day. and these advertisements
contained great deal of misinforma-
ton. He quoted figures showing that
brought to his auditors the realization
Of the startling fact that in 1913 that
for "every one hundred dollars OF
wealth in the State that bears its
share of our tax burdens. seveEty-fve
dollars of wealth escapes any share
in that burden" and that in the class
Of intangible property $50 is taxed and
$3.50 goes free.
The speaker emphasized the fact
that the present situation demands
some reform in our tax laws; that the
way a result can best be accomplished

with history and description Of our

critics and explained what tax rate

that the chief failure Of the present
