governor of the State of Maine in a
letter to Congressman Peters dated
July %. 1921. stated the following:
Il ask only to do what other states
such as Massa chusetts and New York
are doing. and believe that Maine
with its great power resources should
lead and not follow in this forward
movement"
He advocated in his letter construc-
ton of State owned storage reser-
Volrs, and to those who We're in doubt
as to whether or not his mind had
changed. I would say that if a per-
son asked for your horse, wagon and
harness in the month of March end
you refused to give it to him, and
then in the month Of July asked for
the horse, knowing that the wagon
and harness would not be any good
to you If the horse is taken away,
you have an example that is similar.
He would not go the whole distance
now and take away all the hydro
electric property-he would simply
take the construction of storage
basins
If YOU amend the constitution of
Maine You must amend it for all peo-
pie alike. You cannot make change
of the constitution that shall. apply
to one. 1t must apply to ali. The
State cannot take my cooryard for a
commercial enterprise unless it has
the power to take the dooryard OF
every other person in Maine.

William S. Hart comino

The history of screen and stage
discloses no more vigorous personali-
ty than that of William S. Hart.
From the time he made his very first
picture until the present. Hart has
been recognized for the star that he
truly is. In every respect he fulfils
all the qualifications that ones con-
ception includes in conjuring up the
type of man who made the early
West what it is today. Hart is the
screens ideal exponent of the type Of
Westerner who, in the early days of
the stirring history of the West, con-
verified the lawlessness and badness
into the well-ordered West of today.
At the Opera House tomorrow and
Saturday Hart will be presented in
the first production he has made in
the past four months, THE Three
Word Brand" This is an offering
that is certain to delight his legion
of followers in Augusta, because it is
Il picture in which Hart once more
goes back to his two gun" days. The
story is one that gives him wide lati-
tude. and the management has no hes
itancy whatsoever in predict
ing that it will more than
enthrall all Of those who are

Matter of Taxes

+, 1t was Attorney General Ransford
w. Shaw who said the following:
Il note that you the other day had
an item regarding the inheritance tax
receipts for the last year in Maine
and it made a good item. If we had
thought of it at the time. you might
have added that the inheritance tax
in the State of Maine is collected at
less cost than any other tax that is
collected-being less than l per cent.
When it is remembered that the aver
age cost of collecting town taxes is
about per cent. the work that is
being done for the State in collecting
the inheritance tax will be better
appreciated"
Then it was Secretary of State
Frank w. Ball who spoke:
It'll tell you of tax that I believe
is bound to come in Maine and that
also will be an inexpensive tax to
collect was told the other day while
at the Conference of Motor Vehicle
Administrators in Hartford, Conn,
that Connecticut now imposes a cent
a gallon on every gallon of gasoline
sold in that state md that the cost
of collection was very light.
''You see, the state imposes the tax
on the wholesalers, Of which there are
but 81 in the state. The retailers
make report of their sales to the
wholesalers and the latter report to
the state, with the accompanying
check or cash. 1t would be a ire
mendous and very expensive job to
tax the retailer. but with but u
firms to do business with, it is easily
and quickly done. They were urgent
in impressing on me the wisdom of
advocating that method when the tax
on gasoline is again agitated-and ]
believe it will be at an early day"

STATE HOUSE
Mex. Meeting Of Council Friday a. A. NJ

The following statement has been
issued from the Executive Depart
ment in relation to the State Con-
fingent fund;
The present Governor and Council
have adopted a strict rule in regard
TO payments from the Contingent
fund and have guarded the fund in
every way. AS an example, the Bud
get Committee of 1920 recommended
n sie,500 appropriation for fixing the
grounds in front of the State House,
called the State Park. This appro-
priation was reduced to $4,000; $4,000
10 be spent in 1921 and $1,000 in 1922.
The work was commenced and 1t APP
peared that If the $4,000 could be
spent at one time, the land that had
been graded could be seeded down
and would not wash away during the
spring and summer. The Governor
and Council authorized the expendi-
ture OF the total of $4,000 in 1921; no
money TO be spent in 1922. This APP
peared TO be good business.
The other bill in connection with the
State Park was a bill for $2S432 for
landscape gardening. including Sill
Tor gravel. contracted for by the Park
Commission before the term OF the
present Governor. This bill Of course
had to be paid.
Another example was in the town
Of Arrowsic, Sagadahoc county. The
Legislature of 1919 appropriated
Ill, n
bridge. Through Il misunderstanding
of the towns officials, the money was
not called for until after the States
books were closed and the appropria-
ton lapsed into the Contingent fund.
The bridge was dangerous and had
10 be repaired, and upon recommen-
Gation of the chief engineer of the
Highway Commission, the Governor
and Council took from the Contin-
gent fund the same amount that had
been appropriated by the Legisla-
IL to the town.
Another class of cases taken care
Of by the Governor and Council from
the Contingent fund is where the
Legislature appropriated money to
help town build a road, the act
providing that one-half the amount
should be paid in the year 1921 and
the balance in 1922. In some Of these
eases the towns have appealed to the
Governor and Council and asked that
the total amount be made available
for use in 1921, so as to give employ
ment 10 citizens who are out of work.
The Governor and Council felt that in
view of the unemployment situation
II was proper to advance this money
TO furnish employment and they did
so. the money being expended in
1921. and no money will be payable
in 1922. SO the Legislative eppropria-
ton will not be exceeded.
Actual emergencies have been
taken care of. and the principal
items that have been, and will be.
taken from the Contingent fund un-

DEER|NG AT BANGOR
Addresses Rotary and
the National Repub-
lican Club
Opposed to State Ownership Of Wat.
or Powers and Says Issue Clearly
Drawn - How Change in Fiscal
Year Affects Taxes

Hon. John P. Deering, candidate
for the Republican nomination as
Governor, addressed the Bangor Ro-
tary club at luncheon, Tuesday. i'll
the course of his address he extended
an invitation to Hon. Leon z Hig-
gins of Brewer to come to Biddelard
of which Judge Deering is the pres
i'd; mt.
Judge Deering spoke at some
length on the water power question.
He declared that at the next State
primary election the people will vote
for or against the principle of State
ownership of private property.
Il am absolutely opposed to- State
or Government ownership, and be-
iieve that the business of the State is
to govern and not to build storage
basins with the taxpayers money
he said.
Il want it be known not only in
this State, but as far as the means
of communication will carry, that
| every person, firm and corporation is
hereby invited to come to Maine and
do business; that guarantee. so far
as it can be given, will be given by
the State that it will not interfere
with their possession and enjoyment
of property so long as they do not
break laws and do not trample upon
peoples rights.
THE conclusions reached in this
discussion are not based upon what
Judge Cleaves thinks Judge Peters
thinks that Governor Baxter thinks,
or upon anything that Judge Peters
thinks that Judge Cleaves thinks that
Governor Baxter thinks or upon any
thing that any one of them really
thinks, nor upon the conjecture that
any one of them has changed his
mind since last March, or expects to
change it again before June"
The leader Of those who were be-
coming more or less prominent on
account of the water power agitation,
| proposed to the legislature in 1921 an
amendment to the constitution of
Maine. In proposing this amendment
he used the following words:
This legislature. in my mind, will
act wisely if it passes this construc-
| i've ieSlSldllOI, LOT unQCr the nrSt
| paragraph of the amendment the poo-
! pie can derive direct benefit from
the development of storage basins
and water power-if they later deter
| mine upon proper legislation they de-
sire to do so, and under the second
some relief from the crushing burden
of taxation can be obtained without
injustice being done to those who are
called upon to pay. The amendment
declares for the absolute State own
ership of all hydro-electric property.
and it also provides for different
system of taxation for hydro electric
energy. This amendment was pro-
posed to the legislature by the leader
of that group of men who obtained
all the prominence they now possess
by the advocation of State ownership
! of public property. There is no opin-
ion consistent with reason except
| that that group of men believes in
this amendment, and was proposing
tc the legislature that the State begin
to acquire all the hydro electric prop
erty and put tax upon the same"
After the legislature had refused to
accept this socialistic doctrine the
