On Bill To Reduce
Maximum Excise Tax
On Railroads In Maine

The railroads are made to bear
the cross upon which they are cru
cified,' said Edward w. Wheeler of
Brunswick, appearing Wednesday
afternoon before the committee on
taxation of the Maine Legislature in
behalf of the Maine Central Rail-
road for bill, which would reduce
the maximum excise tax upon rail-
roads doing business in Maine from
nVe and one-half per cent to four
and one-half per cent of gross re-
celpts. "A very large part of the
taxes which the railroads pay is de-
voted to the construction Of high
class highways, some of which cost
more a mile to build than did the
Maine Central Railroad, for the bene-
tit of motor trucks and automobiles
which reduce the revenues of the
railroads"
Henry j. Hart of Bangor, counsel
for the Bangor and Aroostook Rail-
road. also appeared for the reduction
of the tax. Passenger service on the
Bangor and Aroostook doesn't nav its
keep. for every dollar that we take
in we pay out from S102 to s1.15.
said he. IN 1916 the Bangor and
Aroostook paid an excise tax of $780,
66s: in 1917 it was $1l9.SS7; in 1921.
s360.S07. and in 1922. $399,115, three
times as much as it was in 1917"
said he.

was the reply.
Odd you object to the method? ?"
asked Senator Allen of York, the
chairman of the committee. of Mr..
Hart
THE method seemed fairly well
accepted in Maine but we do desire
change in the rate that shall be
Just and equitable" replied Mr.. Hart.
! he then went on to speak of the ways
IN which the Bangor and Aroostook
mad sought to improve it's passenger
and freight service.

OF Portland of the Committee.
1T ought not to have happened I"
replied Mr.. Hart.
Thornton Alexander of Boston.
counsel for the Boston and Maine
Railroad objected to the method of
assessment of the railroad tax. saw
ing that 1t was discriminatory in that
the Boston and Maine with a deficit
OF more than 100000 paid a fair
larger tax in proportion to it's mileage
IN Maine than any other railroad
operating in Maine. THE Boston

and Maine with 161 miles of railroad
in Maine paid in 1921 an excise tax
Of 1881, 661.98, while the Bangor and
Aroostook with $50 miles paid a tax
Of $36O.S06 and the Maine Central
with 1921 miles. a tax of $360,S06. !"
said Mr.. Alexander. 1.-THE Maine
system of excise tax bears no rela-
ton to the income or ability of the
road to pay. said Mr.. Alexander.
Figures regarding the operations of
the Maine Central and Bangor and
Aroostook railroads, as presented by
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Hart were
closely questioned by Rufus Webb of
Yarmouth and by Frank Winter of
Auburn. former representatives.
The Opposition
Frank w. Winters of Auburn, for
mer representative. was the first
speaker in opposition to the bill. He
stated that he felt that the railroads
were simply business corporations
and the question of railroad opera
ton is a simple business proposition.
He spoke of the valuation of the
Maine railroads. He scored the
management of the railroads and
stated that in his opinion the chief
weakness in New England railroad
running is the failure to keep up the
business and executive departments
with progress as is demonstrated in
the railroad circles doing business.
He characterized the business meth
DDS of the railroads as antiquated.
He asserted that there should be
cooperation and not competition be-
tween the motor trucks and the rail-
roads.
He stated that he believed that in
Maine there should be no discrimi-
nation. There should be no discri-
mination against the railroads as
business organizations, neither should
the railroads seek to get the Legis-
lature to discriminate by loading
taxes on the shoulders OF farmers
and business men.
Rufus S. Webb Of Yarmouth also
appeared in opposition. Mr.. Webb
claimed that so far as it's complaint
at the amount the excise tax calls
for, the Maine Central Railroad was
camouf1aging the facts; that in 1912
it was collecting 100 cents from the
Maine public for every IL cents it
paid by the excise tax. In 1912 it
was doing the same thing, today it
is doing the same thing.
Mr. Webb quoted many figures in
support Of his contentious.
1t was his claim that if the Maine
Central taxes are to be placed on a
fair basis, by comparison with taxes
paid by the average citizen, they
will have to be increased and not
decreased.

Ask Removal of Names
From Petition of Belgrade
Lakes Village Corp.

InaC tnelr names be removed
from petition seeking the repeal
of the act Incorporating the village
corporation because of their having
signed through a misapprehension
and misunderstanding. is the request
made to the Legislature in a petit
ton of % residents of the Belgrade
Lakes Village Corporation.
Frequently in previous sessions
one or two persons nave made a like
request. but so wholesale an asking:
as this is, has been rare.
These % persons constitute more
than half the names on the peti-
ton asking for the repeal of the VIII
lage corporation.
The act creating the Belgrade
Lakes Village Corporation was en-
acted by the legislature two years
ago. Back of 1T was the desire to
give that section of the town of
Belgrade known as Belgrade Lakes
village an adequate system of fire
protection, such as water service.

water supply for other purposes and
to provide proper side walks and
plant shade trees along the streets.
Included in the area of the VIII

square mile of land area and the tax
which the polls and real estate paid
to the town of Belgrade in 1922,
amounted to S6.623.O9. OF this
amount S1,233i.52 was State and
county tax, leaving So,3S957 for the
town. The total tax collected in Bel
grade that year for town purposes
was $233,32O.51, so that the property
of the village corporation paid more
than 20 per cent of the town.
Within the village corporation is
but Il short stretch of road, a State
highway. for which the town OF
Belgrade contributes only 500 Il
year for maintenance. There is but
one school requiring but one teach

The corporation has asked for a
return of only 20 per cent of its to-

other village corporations in the
State get back. The town of South

characterized our Post namesake and
said that George o. Grover was a
marvellous example of those high
! ideals for which the American Legion
! stands and that to have known the
lad was an inspiration to higher
achievements. One of the greatest

| for all men who had served under
! the colors to unite in a body under
I = 10, ;al, l. Il
to foster those ideals for which he
stod.'
John Eastman. Frank Lemelin, Jr,
