PITY THE POOR COLLECTOR.
4 Down-and-Oute Writes of His
Trials and Tribulations.

IiN a. Il. II, ~
The most hated, despised, de-
tested human being among the chill
dren of men is a taX-collector. The
writer served time (not in jail but
as taX-collector) four years. |
would have served five, but another
man wanted the job. | have learned
that, when I'm the only candidate
for Office my election is always
unanimous, but when there's another
candidate his election is always
unanimous.
When ] took office l hadn't an
enemy in town but when | left Of
flee, | hadn't a friend Things
changed, you see, in four years. If !
should die to-day, my wife would
have to hire pall-bearers; I'm abso-
lutely friendless.
Yet there are some things | like
about the tax business. I've always
been interested in oratory. During
my administration, | have, by actual
count, listened to one hundred and
forty-one orations accusing the Sc
lectmen of every kind of a political
ill-high taxes, bad roads, poor
schools, floods, everything one can
imagine.
At first | attempted to defend these
worthy town officers. but soon
learned that this was poor policy
poor for me, at least Three times
barely escaped assassination. After
this, applauded. Occasionally l
would whisper, you are right"
| have listened to these orators rip,
tear, dissect the first selectman just
eiShty-four times. Some of these
prepared speeches were really
classics. For sarcasm, for wit,
doubt if old Demosthenes or Robert
Ingersoll could equal some of the
lectures listened to. In four years
my vocabulary was increased 1000
words-increased by listening.
But, strange to say. these men
seldom talk in town meeting. They
preferred small audiences, preferred
to have me alone in some room, the
only listener. Whether they thought
these orations would benefit me edu-
cationally, or whether they thought
| had a strong constitution and
could live to endure them, of course
/ don't know. This did. however. i'm
pair my health.
The biggest taxpayers, strange to
say, seldom, if ever, complain about
their taxes These men say but very
little in town meeting. The small
taxpayers are the kickers; some who
pay only poll tax complain about
the condition of the roads and
schools and everything in general.
Yet, in town meeting, these small
taxpayers are always ready to ap-
propriate any amount of money.
Usually the collector is bothered
most with the small taxpayers-the
poll taxpayers
Many complain about their neigh
boris tax not being high enough and
theirs too high. This is a general
complaint
In Maine we have a great mass of
tax laws-laws that no one under
stands, not even the lawyers. These
laws should be simplihed so that the
average man and woman can under
stand them. Tax laws are puzzle.
Yes, I'm friendless. | have that
feeling of Oppressive loneliness, of
utter desertion--a feeling that only
doWn-and-out tax collector can
have.

SKAGWAY PEOPLE INVEST SAVINGS IN MOVIE VENTURE

George Dedman, proprietor of the Golden North hotel in Skagway, is in Juneau on jury duty, having ar rived on on of the recent boats. As evidence that Skagway is still up and doing MT. Dedman says that the residents of his town have invested $12,00O in "The Eternal Frontier" which was lately partly filmed at that place by G. E. Lewis.
 Mr. Dedman says the plant of the late Skagway Alaskan which was sold last July for a song to William L.. Paul. is still at Skagway, but is not issuing any paper, even though the new movie enterprise sprung into ex- istence. It is the intention of MT. Paul to move the Alaskan plant to Ketchikan as soon as the weather moderates sufficient for the handling of the machinery without being either frozen to death or being stuck to the castings from perspirations and losing about half your hide.

PoSTMAsTERs TOLD
 OF ALASKA SERVICE

The following communication has been addressed to pOstmsaters from the office of the Postmaster Gen eral:
 Daily air mail service on a route from New York to San Francisco has been established. The postage paid by the public is 8 cents per ounce for each of the three zones. The value of such service to busi. ness and to the development of the science of aeronautics is readily seen and fully appreciated by the public. The schedule is every day, including Sundays and holidays, and the time for the trip is 34 hours and 45 min utes going west, and 31 hours and 45 minutes coming east New air mail stamps, 8 cents, 16 cents, and A cents have been issued.
 This is the longest air line in the world and is the only route upon which night as well as day flying is employed Air mail was recon mended by Postmaster General Hays and Work and the first transcon- tinental route was put in operation by men on July l, 1924, by and with the approval of President Coolidge aud congress.
 An airplane service was estab- lished and run as an experiment in Alaska, covering a route from Fair banks to McGrath which ordinarily takes the dog sleds 35 days. Larger cargces of mail were carried than possible to accommodate in the dog sleds, and the round trip was made in one day, going out in the morning and back in the evening, two and a half to three hours being required for each journey of the plane.
