Bates COLLEGE
Basketball Scorea

West Parker and John Bertram
played the first basketball game of
the year Monday night in the GYM
rasium, John Bertram winning the
game with the final score 1921 after
hard tussle. Roger Williams and
East Parker was not such an inter-
esting game as the former because
the boys from the monastery did
not put up much opposition for the
East Parker hoopers. The score for
this game was 1915. Roger Williams
on the little end. The men from
both teams in the first game were
very evenly matched ami 1t was not
until the final period that the ]. Il.
boys got the edge on their opponents,
chiefly from GerouX's work who ac-
counted for IL points of the score.
Chisholm and Geroux were the out
standing stars for John Bertrarn hall
while Ledger, Sinclair and Proctor
stood out for their consistent work
for West Parker hall. East Parker
begun to show their superiority from
the beginning of the game and the
first half ended 1875. The second
team was put in during the second
half. Woodman, Wyllie and Peter
SON were easily the stars of this
game.
The French plays will be held in

dealers have the facilities available
for DETERMINING the quality OF their
product according to the accepted
measures, namely. bacterial content,

deaie1 who sell Grade A. milk

Probably from IS TO 80 percent Of
the dealers ain Maine are selling
milk within the quality requirements
OF any Grade A" regulations In the
United States. These dealers are
not inclined to advertise their

are not sure that 1t will meet. the

"In obtaining the information nee
essary to enable us to make an
equitable distribution of the State
and county taxes for the years 1925
and 1926, a careful investigation and
study of conditions which affect pro-
perty values has been made in near
ly all taxing jurisdictions in the
State" say the assessors In their re-
port.
Absolute equality in the distribu-
ton of the tax burden Is a dream
which we never expect TO see fully
realized, but by a careful comparison
Of present conditions with those of
the past, we are convinced that
marked progress Is being made" con-
tinues the report.
I'm accordance with the provisions
of law, we have met and conferred
with nearly all boards of assessors
in the State. and from the Informal
ton obtained from them and from a
personal conference with taxpayers
and in an examination and COMPARE
son of property in certain cities AMI
towns with that in other localities,
we are assured that marked advance
has been made in the attempt TO
equally distribute the tax burden.
I'VE have been gratified to find
that taxation officials and taxpayers
are meeting and trying to solve the
new ami serious problems that are
constantly arising with determine
ton to succeed and courage that Is
sometimes surprising.
ut convinces US that Maine peo-
pie as a whole are loyal to Maine:
that they believe in its future and in
it's possibilities. Present conditions
relative to the ever increasing bur-
den of taxation and also regarding
business conditions, especially in the
rural sections, are not as encourag-
ing as could be desired, yet the peo-
pie as a whole and individually are
meeting these conditions with a de-
termination to accept their full share
of these responsibilities. We have
received the hearty cooperation and
support Of nearly all boards of local
assessors. These boards are, as
rule, composed of men we'll equipped
for their work, who are devoting
more time to the administering of
public affairs than they can afford at
the salaries they are receiving.
Recommendation
"Our general property tax law was
lTdNleu III dCCOlhdNSC Win
tional provisions, more than 100
years ago. Many changes have been
made from time to time, to meet
changed conditions, and it wouh
seem apparent that further changes
are called for in order to be able to
keep abreast of the progress and
changed conditions OF the present
time.
1--WE, therefore, make the following
recommendations to the legislature
of 1925, and respectfully urge their
adoption:
"That the legislature consider the
classification of intangible property
for purposes Of taxation.
1.-THE taxation Of pulp wood. cord
wood, logs and similar property"Hn
the towns and organized plantations
where they are located on April first.
1.-THE taxation of savings deposits
In national banks on a basis similar
to the taxation of deposits in savings
banks.
