Maine Local
Milk Inspectors to
Meet at Portland

Invitations to attend the conference
at Portland city hall are being sent to
all local milk inspectors of the State.
This is the first meeting to be held
for several years and it is the inten-
ton of all concerned to make the
meeting of great help to all inspec-
tors who avail themselves of the op-
portunity.
It is planned to have two speakers
present who have had experience IN
milk and dairy inspection and its re-
lation to better milk supply. Many
problems which come up every day
will be discussed, such as the system
Of improved milk inspectors: whether
or, not the application cards should be
signed by local inspectors, and Is 1t
best to send out the licenses before
inspection is made. The above are a
few of the problems which confront
the state department at the present
time and can be decided better by the
inspectors as a whole rather than by
one Individual.
Closer cooperation between the To-
cal inspectors and the State dairy in
, spector is one of the great objects of
the conference. AS it is only by this
cooperation that the best results for
the good Of the communities them
selves may be obtained.

tive Council reported regarding the
appropriation by the Legislature OF
SOS, 900 for each of the two coming
years for advertising Names advan-
tages, pointing out that now about
$1,000 or $4,000 of that sum has
been expended.
Philip r. Shorey of Portland,
publicity director for the State OF
Maine Associates, showed that his
work was to get what the State OF
Maine holds and its activities into
bsory form for newspapers and to
prepare moving pictures depicting
Names attractions. From newspaper
clippings he showed that there is q
nationwide interest in ths Maine
Development project.
Governor Brewster Speaks
Governor Ralph o. Brewster de-
c1ared that Maine should cultivate a
proper loyalty to products of the
State giving them preference when
they are available. AS subjects for
consideration he suggested: A book
let listing Maine industries and
products; advertising in newspapers;
a poster campaign: and a series of
meetings in the larger communities
across the State to teach people the
way they can serve themselves by
cultivating a project of this kind. He
expressed the opinion that the
Know Maine Products Campaign"
should now be known as the BUY
Maine Products" campaign.
Upon motion of Guy 2. Gannett,
1t was voted that a committee be
appointed to take charge of this
campaign.
There was some discussion con-
corning the booklet to be published
listing Names industries and prod
ucts and committee to take charge
of this was appointed consisting of
A. L. 7. Cummings of Portland,
chairman; Arthur G. Staples of Lew
iston. Charles b. Ault of Auburn, and
A. j. Stearns of Norway.
Agricultural Advantages Of State
DIR. Owen Smith of Portland told
OF the endeavor on the part of Maine
farmers to improve the livestock of
the State and he made the sugges-
ton that man be placed in the
State department of agriculture to
answer inquiries regarding livestock,
to list the surplus stock on the farms
and to keep in touch with the live
stock market situation.
Following a general discussion of
the development projects the session
was adjourned.

has tripled in the same period ana
that these new scources of revenue
must be discovered and tapped II
these conditions are to be met. he
said that within the past ten years
that much time has been taken up
along lines of thought relative TO
spending. Now it is necessary 10
direct the public thought to the
question of legitimate revenues.
Mr.. Wheeler declared in opening
his address that "the present atti-
tude of the taxpayer toward pubic
revenue is important, because 1t Is
now conceded that taxation Is the
leading economic issue in the public
forum. 1t has been said that taxa
ton is the badge of civilization, that
when savagery ended. taxation Pc
gan. But If we bear in mind that
sixty per cent of the civilized world,
practically all of civilization outside
of America, is staggering along I'M
der a burden so heavy that 1t nearly
amounts to confiscation, it Is easy
to see why taxation is such q live
issue.
He divided the tax history Of the
United States into three periods, that
following the Revolution when little
heed was given to tax problems as
the aim was to establish protec-
tive government; that following the
Civil War (which found out states
men developing great industrial
nation under. the various aspects of
a protective tariff functioning in a
country having natural resources
supposed to be unlimited" and that
following the great World War
which finds us cropping for the right
solution of a complicated problem, in
an age when our natural resources
are giving us some anxiety and
wherein we find that while the cost
of living has doubled the cost of
government has more than trebled."
Morning Session
'Tt is essential to all just taxation
that it be levied with equality and
uniformity. Exemption of property
from taxation Is the imposition of
increased taxation upon non-exempt
property" stated S. B. Furbush.
of Brunswick in an address We'd
nesday morning the title of which
was Property Exemptions but
the speaker declared his audience
would find to be a treatise on Tile
gal Exemptions of Real Estate"
He, declared that figures furnished
by the Census bureau that the ratio
of exempted property to the total
property is less in Maine than in all
but ten states of the Union. 1t has
also been found that in the country
as whole the figures have tend
ency to increase while those given
for Maine show a decrease.
Mr.. Furbush said, Where 1t is
we'll defined that only the legisla-
ture can determine what property
shall be exempted, and further, that
it cannot constitutionally transfer to
municipalities the power to deter
mine what shall and shall not be
taxed, 1t Is with some surprise that
we find that many communities have
taken upon themselves an authority
which Is absolutely illegal.

Evening Session

In an interesting talk Wednesday
evening on Taxation of Musical In
struments and Automobiles, w. A.
Kicker of Castine urged constant val
uation on this type of personal prop
erty throughout the state. He declared
that he felt 1t perfectly feasible to
place the valuation of a piano at one
half its cost at retail for the first wear
md to reduce this valuation the sec
ond and third years so that when tax
ed the fourth. year the valuation on an
instrument costing up to $500 would
be 500. with proportionate increase
for higher priced pianos.
With regard to automobiles he stat
ed his belief that when a car is in
UGH shape that the owner is willing
pay the necessary license and op-
rating expenses, it is in good enough
ondition to bear its proper portion of
zeal expenses through taxation. He
commended an initial valuation of
asst, one-half the cost of the car and
reduction spread over a space of
four years so that on the fifth year a
ar selling at $500 when new would
he taxed at 800 and higher priced
mes In proportion. He emphasized his
belief that no car Of whatever year
or make should be valued for the pur-
pose or taxation at less figure than
500 so long as it is in suitable shape
to be licensed and used.
With regard to small musical instru-
ments, the speaker gave as his opin-
ion that they should be classed as a
part Of the educational system, play
ing the important part that they do
In the education Of the young people
of today. Radio sets he declared in
his opinion were not musical instru-
ments but that they were certainly q
taxable proposition and considerable
revenue could be derived from them.
Square pianos and organs the speaker
did not consider Of taxable value.
A considerable discussion of specific
questions brought up by this talk oc-
cupied the remainder of the evening.
The closing session of the conven-
ton will be held at $50 this morn
ing with DR.. c.. F. Kendall, commits
sioner of the State Department of
Health, as the only speaker.
