New Valuation Record.
This is the largest amount ever
| added in one year for new buildings
| and additions. Last year new prop
| erty was assessed at s9,339,000. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
that figure represented a two-thirds
value.
Congress, in passing the new appro-
priation act, directed the Commits
sioners to assess property at full
value for taxation purposes. If the
old rule had remained in effect the
new property added this year would
have amounted to s12.636423, on a
two-thirds value. Taking them at full
value, the new structures and addi-
tions came to S1S.954635.
A staff of clerks in the assessor $
office is now busily engaged in the
preparation of this years tax bills,
and they will be ready for property
| owners to call for them carly in Oc-
tober.
Two Tax Payments.
Taxes this year must be paid in two
| equal installments-half in November
and the balance in May.
A table prepared by Mr.. Richards

been gradually recovering during the
| past few years from the building
| slump which occurred in 1915-19l6
| just before this country entered the
| war.
| In 1911 new structures erected were
| valued at S10,773.710. This went down
gradually to s5,5S2.269 in 1915. In
| 1918. the year of the armistice, new
| building projects went up again 20
| a total of sS.934.40O. In 1919 there
was another drop to s6,214,220. From
| that time to the present the trend
has continued upward.

Baxter, Candidate for Re-
election, Shows Stand in
Answering QUESTIONABLE.
G. O.P. VICTORY CERTAIN
Republicans Expected to Carry All
Tickets by Substantial Majority
Next Monday.
BY n. o. MESSENGER,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

AUGUSTA, Me-, September 6.-As
next Monday approaches. when the
electorate Of Maine will go to the
polls to vote for United States sena-
tor, representative in Congress. gov
ernor and other state officers, there
Is no diminution in these closing
days of the campaign of indications
of a substantial republican victory on
all the tickets, by a majority less
than that of the figures of two years
ago. The campaign has lacked the
vigor and interest of some former
contests between the democratic and
republican parties for the reason that
there are no vital issues at stake.
There is, indeed, quite marked apathy
in the democratic ranks, and there
will be, the leaders here predict, a
large stay-at-home vote
The only uncertainty in the equa-
ton is the drift of the women's vote
The indica tions are that there will be
more republican woman voters than
democratic, based on the registration
figures, which show apathy among
the democratic woman voters, espe-
ciaIly in the French-Canadian and
Irish communities.
Heavy Womnn's Vote.
But that there will be a heavy
woman vote, just the same, in the
total, is forecast by the interest taken
in woman civic organizations, whose
efforts are bent along lines peculiar
to woman's solicitude for health and
morals. A number of these organi-
cations recently submitted to Gov
Baxter, candidate for reelection as
governor on the republican ticket, a
QUESTIONABLE to elicit his stand on
some measures Of legislation deemed
of Importance by the women eSpe-
cially.
The governor found it the part of
wisdom to reply to these interroga-
tions, and today issued a statement
addressed to ''the woman voters OF
Maine" One of the questions pro-
pounded to him was, Will you accept
the Sheppard-Towner bill (the ma
ternity acO or assure the mothers OF
Maine of your approval of an appro-
priation equal to the five-year money
benefits of the bill?'
Reply Of Governor.
In a previous dispatch it was ex-
planned that the governor and his
council had refused to accept Names
allotment. In his reply the governor
avoids alternating the class in the
state which opposes federal aid by
saying:
"As governor. have advocated, and
under the direction of the governor

THROUGH TURKEY

ALEPPO, Syria. September g.
One hundred blind children from
the American school for the blind
in Harpoot have arrived mere
safely after a 500-mile hike across
the Turkish interior. during Whlch
they passed through mountains
infested with bandits and over
long stretches of desert where
camels carried water and pro-
visions.
The children are from seven to
fifteen years of age. Their Pill.
grimage is part of the plan OF
the Near East Relief to remove
several thousand Armenian or
phans from Asiatic Turkey The
journey from Harpoot took a
month to complete. On the last
twenty miles the children foated
down the Euphrates on barges.
They now are housed in the re-
established school in Aleppo,
which is the capital Of Syria
under the French mandate.

returns. it appears that the people Of
this state Endorsed the issues which
La Toilette had advocated at WASH
ington, and upon which he sought re-
nomination. These were: Opposition
to the Esch-Cummins act. Newberry-
ism, the four-power treaty, and his
opposition to the policies of Presi-
dent Harding.
Lenroot Backs Garfield.
Mr.. Garfield was the candidate of
the citizens republican conference,
which had the backing of Senator Ir-
vine l.. Lenroot. Wisconsin's junior
senator. He was supported also by
the Anti-Saloon League, which as
serted that the fight in Wisconsin
this year was "the most important
wet-and-dry election in the United
States" Mr.. Garfield made more
than 800 speeches during the cam
paign, in which he asked La Follette's
retirement from public life because,
he said, the senior Wisconsin senator
is an obstructionist in Congress, and
the upper house. Mr.. Garfield also
charged La Toilette with being radi-
cal in his tendencies.
Returns from SIS precincts show
that the entire La Toilette state ticket
decisively overcame its opponents by
large majorities, with the exception
of Solomon Levitan, who was leading,
in q close race for treasurer against
Henry johnson, incumbent for six sue
cessive terms.
Gov. Blaine Leader.
Gov. John B. Blaine led the state
ticket, his victory being decisive over
Attorney General William ]. Morgan.
The vote in 1888 precincts was:
Blaine, 14s,32s; Morgan. 1888, and
McHenry, 1887.
The Anti-Saloon League indorsed all

the Turkish nationalists, under
Mustapha Kemal, have concentrated

In anticipation of an offensive by
