In his presentation Herbert w. Hu- ber presented MT. Greene with a toy gun and a salt cellar, both of which should be used when lion hunting.
 The meeting was then turned over to John Ahern, who introduced State Tax Commissioner William H. Biodgeh of Winchester His talk was most i'm teresting. Mir Blodgett was of the opinion that the general public con cerned themselves too much about the expenditure of the money than in thsl manner in which 1t was raised. He told of the we'll known theory that the real estate owner pays too much of the tax as it discourages many from build | tend towards patriotism as having home of your own The speaker also mentioned the fact that there has been a demand for further appropriations l for state highways, the schools of the state and the hospitals. He said that she was not in favor of the plan of a | bond issue for road building at th.s time as the plan has not been success fuI in other states and that there ] would be time to consider such action within the next ten years.
 Mir. Blodgett then explained the new ! taxes passed at the last general as sembly of the state which include taxes on unincorporated mercantile and man ufacturing estalblishm ents This tax Is ! one-tenth of one per cent of the gross income and is such small sum as not to be conducive with the raising of prices The state personal income tax which has been advocated is neither fla voralbie nor popular. The tax on nov
 ing pictures he said went half to the state and the other half to the various counties to help them defray expenses.
 MT. Blodgett said that the increased tax on automobiles was to defray the state highway expenses and is to the pays out $20 for his automdbile tax per year. it is only costing him eight cents per day for the privilege of using over
 $45 .000 .000 worth of highway which is in good condition and means that he is saving three or four times that amount in repairs saying nothing of the added , comfort and gain of time while travel , ing. He said that the weakest point in taxation lay in the fact that as money was needed tax was clamped on here I or there without regard to harm | might be doing or to the justice of 1t In conclusion he said that a cornmE tee of reliable men, not politicians. should be appointed, to see that justice
 is done in regard ito taxing
