Seek Return Taxes
Totalling $4,O0O,OOO
From United States

An effort Is to be made to secure
the return to Maine people of $4,000
OC0 illegally collected in taxes from
them if a resolve now on its
way through the legislature becomes
a law.
This resolve. authorizes the State
administration to press a claim for
that amount against the United
States Government. But little has
been said concerning the resolve,
and few of those members who have
heard it read by title at various
stages of it's progress toward en-
action have comprchended its i'm
port.
The resolve sets forth that during
the year 1S66-67-6S there was as
sessed, by the United States Govern
ment, upon the people of Maine,
taxes to that amount; that this as
sessment and the subsequent collec-
ton was illegal and contrary to law.
The resolve. therefore. provides that
the State shall make the effort to
recover the money from the federal
government with interest upon the
principle and then to repay 1t to the
citizens who paid the tax or to their
heirs, many of those who paid the
money originally having died num-
Der of years ago.
But while the language of the re-
solve gives authority TO the State
to press the claim for 100000 IL
legally collected from citizens of
Maine in taxes" sounds rather
simple there is going to be great
deal more to getting this four mil

the income from them to a large eX-

Fighting for Ideas
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

promise is as false as the wrong ex-
tremc.
We need people who are enthusi-
asts and who are willing TO fight
and die for their ideas, but they
want first of all to find out what they
are fighting about, to make sure Of
their issues. A man needs the
basis OF fact under his feet before
he is carried away by his fancy.
Don Quixote's spirit was very
beautiful, and his willingness 10
fight for his ideas, but he was not
willing to learn from others what
was the proper basis for his ideas.
He therefore rendered himself ridicu-
lous.
The spirit of Mr.. Bryan in advanc-
ing the anti-evolution law is very
fine. We commend his faith and
his willingness to fight for his opin-
ions. We only regret that he did
not take the trouble first of all to
find out what was the underlying
truth. A little study and examina-
ton would have shown him that his
conflict was like that Of Mrs. Part
ington sweeping back the waves OF
the sea. -r

On one occasion, the story goes,
Don Quixote engaged in a conflict
with barber who wore a basin on
his head instead Of helmet.
Don Quixote took the basin away
from him and insisted that it was
a helmet-the helmet of Mambrinus,
which was endowed with mythical
qualities.
When the priest and the barber
and others came TO see it they all
laughed and insisted that it was
nothing but a basin. Don Quixote
maintained that it was not a basin
at all, but it was the helmet Of
Mambrinus.
Sancho Panca represented the peo-
pie who compromise, and thought it
might be a helmet-basin.
There are those who always see
the sordid and factual nature Of
everything. They can only see what
is before their eyes. They have no
Imagination.
Others have a preponderanee for
imagination and not only see the
thing itself, but whatever their
fancy may add to it. Carried TO
excess this is quixotism. 1t is a
disposition to make issues where is
sues do not exist. 1t is willingness
to fight and die over trivial matters.
Then there is a third party who
only want to keep the peace. These
are represented by Sancho Panca
and his view that it was a helmet
basin.
In these cases the truth does not
lie between two extremes, but is
found at one them. And the com
