TAX DISCUSSION.
Power Company Claims Assessment
Not EquabIe.

MOI
The city government and board of
assessors of Ellsworth gave public
hearing at the board of trade room
Monday evening, on the complaint of
tbc BAR Harbor & Union River Power
co, that assessed valuations for tax
alton purposes were not equable and
that the company was Disseminated
against in favor of resident tax payers.
About fifty people were present at
the meeting, several of them large
taxpayers, and before the meeting
was adjourned the discussion became
quite general, and many expressed
tbeir views Mayor Hodgkins pre-
sided.
c. S. Humphrey of DIadison, State
engineer. sent here by the State board
of assessors at the request of the city
government, from his large experience
rave some valuable information as to
methods used in arriving at an equable
and fair valuation Of properties. He
SUGGESTED that the Bar Harbor x I'm
ion River Power Co. be requested to
file an inventory of all it's property
here. Then the assessors could take
valuations of various other pieces of
property here, and arrive at a fair
basis of operations
Edward NJ. Graham, president of the
company, expressed his position. lie
did not complain of valuation,
but of unequal assessment as compared
with other property in town of which
he had knowledge. If the basis of
valuation was to be 100 cents on dol
lar. he would not object if the same
basis was used in valuing every other
property. but when his company was
assessed on a valuation of 100 cents
on a dollar. and other property only
25. so or rs cents on a dollar, he
thought it unfair lie cited a few in
stances that had come within his
knowledge. lie had taken pains to find
out the valuation placed upon other
property in Ellsworth, and knew of
t,yenty-one concerns, he said, where
the valuation averaged u cents on
dollar.

The question of boxing matches
or no boxing matches is again be
fore the people of Ellsworth. The
matter came up in the shape of an
application for the use of Hancock
hall for that purpose at Monday eve
ning's meeting Of the city govern
ment Though the application was
afterwards withdrawn, the mayor
and aldermen appointed a special
meeting to get the views of the peo-
pie on the question. This meeting
will be held at the aldermen's room
next Tuesday evening, instead Of
Monday, as first appointed. Here
is an invitation for an express
sion Of public opinion that
should not be denied. Turn out at
that meeting next Tuesday evening

A few Ellsworth citizens got to-
gether Monday night for discussion
of tax valuations with the city govern
ment and assessors. 1t is pity there
were not more there. These meet
ings are good for us, and productive
OF results. even if nothing more than
an awakening of public conscious
ness to the fact that this is pro-
blem for all of us, and not for few.
The meeting Monday night was the
outcome of the power company S
complaint of inequality in valuations.
The company feels that it is being
Disseminated against. We do not be-
Ieve that this is deliberately so.
The company has a large and valu-
able property here. 1t cannot justly
use the revenue received from ELS
worth alone as a basis for computing
the value of the property, for it sells
a very large part of its product out
of Ellsworth Nevertheless, there
doubtless are other cases where
property is decidedly undervalued
and the power company may be
justified in its complaint of Unequal
ity. There doubtless are other prop
critics, many others, valued fully as
high, dollar for dollar, as the power
company, and these taxpayers also
have cause for complaint. To adjust
these inequalities, by the raising Of
those too low or the lowering o
those too high, is the task before
the assessors. In an honest attempt
TO do this, they should have thu
support, not the criticism, of tn,
people.

Judge s. L. Fairlamb Erwin was tax
en- into custody by Sheriff Davis one
Saturday night September 10th At
the time he was apprehended he had
a bottle Of moonshine whiskey, which
he broke. thus destroying the eyid-
euce against him.
The case was tried before a jury OF
six men, including William Atchley,

the jury returned a verdict OF guilty.
and he was sentenced to thirty days

economics, large and small, the Presi-
dent has announced his hope that the
balance at the end of the fiscal year
will be larger even than he anticipat-
ed. These economies include forego-
ing repairs at the White House which
would cost S4OO,O 900. and have even ex-
tended to the stenOgraphers in the Of
fices who must surrender the stub of
one pencil before another one is given
them. Every cabinet officer and bur
eau head has been requested by the
President personally, to use the ut
most care in affecting economies.
President Coolidge sets a good ex-
ample himself
The major recommendation of the
tariff commission before the Presi-
dent, it is said. calls for a reduction of
Al cents per 100 pounds from the pres
ent duty Of $L76. This would com
pei the budget bureau to revise its
estimates on receipts for the year to
between 30 and 81 million dollars less
than is now planned for. The revis-
ion does not fit in with the extreme
effort being made to build up the bal
ance.
1t has been for sometime regarded
in Washington as inevitable that the
sugar schedule would be brought into
the present political campaign. The
Democrat candidate has called for
a general 0verhauling of the tariff act
and La Toilette is specially advocating
the lowering Of the sugar duty.
Were it not for an adequate protect
i've tariff there would be no American
sugar industry and consumers in this
country would be entirely at the
mercy Of foreign producers who would
fix high prices for their products once
they were established and had ruined
the national sugar industry This is
one of the most vital questions of the
campaign not only to this valley but
to the country as a whole as well,
though n0n-sugar producing localities
will not feel the changes so much.
Let's keep America American and
vote for the men who will support a
protective tariff on sugar so that our
national industries will thrive instead
Of contributing to foreign producers.
who are anxious for a lower tariff that
they may step in and grab the sugar
market with their low prices.

BAPTIST MEN ORGANIZED
BROTHERHOOD TUESDAY

About thirty-five men of the Baptist
church met Tuesday evening at the
church and enjoyed a supper prepared
and served by a committee OF ladies
from the Calendar club After the
dinner hour a general discussion of
the plan of organizing a brotherhood
composed of the men of the church
and congregation was held.
1t was decided to complete an or.
ganization to hold meetings once
month at the church. Community
benefits will be the object of the
organization and at the meetings mat.
ters of community interest and bene-
fit will be discussed. Those present
at the first meeting We're very en-
thusiasic and everything points to a
very successful and interesting pro-
gram for the members. Any member
OF the church or congregation is in.
vited to become a member OF the
brotherhood This will no doubt be
felt as a power for betterment in
the community.
Officers elected at the meeting on
Tuesday were. Carey B. Adams, presi.
dent; Frank E. Woods, first vice presi.
dent; F. L. Ray, second vice presi.
dent; f. f. skinner, secretary treas

NO CHANGE OF SUGAR
DUTY NOW IS FORECAST

Washington, Sept 25.-Callers at
the White House during the recent
past have gone away with a growing
conviction that there is little likeli-
hood OF a tariff reduction ON sugar at
the present time President Coolidge
is still considering. OF course. the
matter and the reports OF the tariff
commission.
The chief reason visitors feel that
the President will not authorize any
reduction is one which was not con
sidered In the majority report Of the
tariff commission That is the matter
OF government revenue from the tariff
II the cut advocated by the commits
sion was put into effect II would re
duce the governments revenues by
from 30 to 30 million dollars during
the current fiscal year, which ends
June 30. And SO nicely have the gov
ernments books been balanced for
the year that on the surface such a
reduction would entirely wipe out the
slender anticipated surplus and would
result in an actual deficit of from to
10 million dollars. The President has
declared against any policy
involving a deficit and It is unlikely
that he will adopt such a policy in re
gard to tariff reduction.

It is important that all women,
