burg's leadership. in the opinion Of
Garland w. Powell, national director of
the Americanism commission Of the
American Legion, who today issued a
warning to all Americanism officers of
the Legion to be on guard against Ger

THE picture Of Won Hinderburg is
reappearing in the American papers as
it did in 1914" Mr.. Powell stated. He
has been selected by the German mon
archist party 70 rattle the sabre in
the kaiser style and bring about coup

has opened his campaign by calling
for war with France, in his address to
the German Veterans League in Han

Germany today is in a better posi-

Mr. Powell declared, but this German
propaganda is being exerted to bring
the American people TO believe other
wise. The Americanism commission of
the Legion has information of the
course of German propaganda efforts
in the country for the last year. There
are 10000 Americans buried in France

vETOEs SHED RESOLVE

The House of Representatives
Wednesday received Governor Bax-
ter's veto message on the resole ap-
propriating $1s5.oo0 for the rebuild
ing Of the Franklin Wharf sheds at
the State Pier at Portland, and upon
motion of Representative Rounds Of
Portland this was specially assigned
for this Thursday morning. 1t is the
claim Of Representative Rounds that
he has enough votes to- pass the re-
solve today over the Governors veto.
After haing been passed by both
Houses, the resolve was recalled by
the Senate and lay on the table for
sometime, the general understanding
being that an investigation OF the
situation was bling conducted by the
Governor. On Tuesday the resolve
was taken from the table. once more
given passage and sent to Governor
Baxter. who vetoed it Wednesday
In his veto message, Governor
Baxter said in part:
Il have given serious thought to
this Resolve and have considered it
from Gerry angle. The problem t5at
it presents is one of the most du-
ficult | have been called upon 10 face.
My reason for declining to approve
the Resolve is that at the present
time the State cannot afford to spend
the $4,000 called for. On ali sides
demands for money are pouring into
the Legislature and some halt must
be called before IT is too late. TIE
tax rate is mounting and its progress
upward must be arrested. Almost
every legislator has a special project
in which he is interested and each
member will need to make some sac
, rifice II any limit is to be placed on
taxation.
AS often happens excuses are now
being offered as TO why an increased
tax rate is unavoidable. Some urge
that the rate OF the last two years
was too low. but with this argument
I am not in accord. II may be that
II the tax rate for 1921 and 1922
had been larger this Legislature
would have more easily excused a
high rate OF its own making. This
argument is based upon political con-
alterations and is not sound. / be-
lieve in reducing taxes whenever 1t is
possible to do SO. and am glad We
were able TO offset a considerable
saving Tor the people in 1921 and
1922. / do not approve the position
some public men take. that II is no:
good politics TO reduce taxation be-
low certain point for fear that in
vidious comparisons between State
administrations may be made. II We
weree able to carry On the State
Government at low tax rate in 1921

concerned; the future must care for
itself.
