A WARNING

1t is both a serious and disturbing
statement made by the State chamber OF
commerce that the State has not held its
own in population the last ten years.
The rural population in almost every
county fell off Against this note that
valuation of property for taxable purpo-
ses increased during the ten years Al per
cent, the total being Sl85, 623, 3l4.
Take the two together and one can
easily see what the end will be if the
State board of assessors keep en- raising
the valuation of the property that larger
taxes may be assessed, without raising
the tax rate 1t looks as though there
were some questions which the voters of
Maine should be attending to and save
themselves if possible from the drift now
tending SO strongly towards the wlping
out of rural sections.
What Maine might be doing and what
is being done are two entirely distinct
propositions. 1t is time for the small
property holder to wake up and take no.
tice.-Maine Farmer.
1t should be realized that the State AS
SCISSORS are in no way to blame for high
taxes. 1t is probably true that few
years ago the valuation fixed by them
was too low but in most cases the valua
ii on has now teen placed on reasonably
high basis. Raising the valuation of
property and the increase of the rate of
State taxation is not the fault of the
State Assessors, but is entirely chargea-
BILE to the legislature and to the people
who pay the taxes. The legislature
makes the appropriations and the people
pay taxes. Both have been over indul-
gent and sometimes extravagant in the
expenditure of money. The consequence
is that high taxes are and for long
ii me will continue to be menace to the
pr osperity of the State of Maine. Dras-
tic retrenchment is the only remedy.
