An impregnable wall of secrecy
was erected and maintained today
by the Borah committee about q
story Of Republican campaign ex.
penditures. which Samuel Inter,
myer. attorney for Senator Robert
M. La Toilette, promises TO be the
most sensational yet produced in
connection with the ''sIush fund.-

the story to the committee, according
to Untermyer, but he would not put
them on the stand for examination
without first relating their story I'd
Senator Borah and the other investi.
gators In q secret session. Their
testimony. Untermyer said, would
probably have a disastrous effect on
the Republican party, and 1t was for
that reason that he declined, he ex-
planned, to have the story spread
before the country before the com.
mittee was given an opportunity to
obtain corroborative evidence Of the
new charges which are to be made.
It was Unternnyers original sug.
gestion that even the testimony Of
the mysterious Chicago, witnesses be
taken behind closed doors, but Sen.
ator Borah would not agree to this
declaring that all the inquiry would
be conducted In open session.
The committee stood in recess to
day, but will resume the inquiry

u. s. Dept. Commerce
Figures of Interest
to Tax Exemption 81
Board of the State

Certain figures announced for the
state Of Maine by the U. S. depart
pent Of commerce at Washington,
D. c., in a, report just issued, are Of
particular interest to the members OF
fhe Maine committee appointed by
order Of the 81st legislature to In
vestigate the tax exemption laws OF
the statee. This report announced
that all classes of property in the
state Increased In value from 1912 to
1922 and that the estimated value OF
exempt real property Exclusive of
Lafayette national park increased
IN that period from S59.22S.000 to
$S7,725,000 or 1895 per cent.
State Auditor X. d., Hayford,
chairman of the Maine investigation
board, stated yesterday that he was
1T loss to know from what sources
the figures we're obtained relating to
exempt real property. tt was Mr..
Hayford's opinion that the value OF
tax exempt real property in the state
Will be shown to be much more than
shown in the report of the depart
T1ent OF commerce. but he stated that
he had no figures yet available on
which 10 base this conclusion. II Is
probable that the board will inquire
nun tDD uSPdl tbiJht 1T "h5hih6 lcii
regarding the sources from which
these figures were obtained, and II
the sources are found to be anthem
tic the figures In the report wifi be
Of great help to the Maine board in
its work.
It has been estimated by a man
who Is considered one of the best of
authorities on the subject OF taxa
ton In the state. that there Is as
much property Of all classes exempt
from taxation by law AZ Is now
taxed. and. the present state valua-
lion Is about $G72.000.0 900. This tax
exempt property comprises 50 differ
ent classlflcations.
Mr.. IIayford suggested that the
department of commerce might have
obtained its figures by sending ques-
tionnaires to every city and town in
the state. That is the only way that
nc thought these figures could have
been secured at Washington.
There have been n number of diff
ferent commissions appointed at
various times to study different
phases OF the tax problem in Maine,
but the board appointed by order OF
the last legislature Is the first to
look into the tax exemption laws and
70 tabulatc statistics showing the
amount Of property in Maine exempt
from taxation under sectian of
chapter 10. revised statutes. The
members of this board which is now
busiy engaged in its work. are:
Chairman, State Auditor Hayford;
secretary. Clement :. Stctson chair
man of the board of state assessors
Clarence Hanson of Auburn. Herbert
II. Powers of Fort Fairfield, and
Donald +. Snow of Bangor.
