Fair skies and a bright sun was the
weather program in Waterville for
yesterday. Nearly every day now at
noon there is period Of melting and
a distinct touch of spring In the air.
In many places. where the sun has
good chance to do it's work, the snow
has been eaten away to such an en-
tent as to give the impression that
the worst Of long. hard winter has
passed. But not soul dares say
that there won't be another snowstorm
to undo the good work before the end
Of the month.

The Opposition


Professor w. B. Catlin of Bowdoin
College, professor of economics and
sociology, said he had been chosen to
represent the college in opposition to
the Spear bill and read a letter from
President X. G. NJ. Sills. giving these
reasons for opposing the measure:
l. Such an amendment would de-
crease the sense of responsibility of
the members of the legislature and
would interfere with exercise by
them of proper judgement that
would be required to meet changing
conditions in the future. We ought
to be very careful not to pat in our
constitution provisions that will tie
the hands of our lawmakers that are
to come. Several western states
have suffered by such legislation.
2. Such an amendment seems to
me clearly not of class legislation.
3. Such legislation would newt
ably Increase the burdens of taxation
that are now being carried on by
real estate. farms, industry, etc. and
would very likely in the long run in
crease also taxes in cities and towns.
A. Income and inheriterce taxes
are In my judgement the fairest tax
es that can be levied. and If in some
instances of late. this kind Of taxa :
ton has been abused, that is no
reason for making it impossible to
levy such fair taxes in the future.
S. The way to build up the State
Of Maine is not to make it happy
and for people who wish to avoid
the just obligations of citizenship;
but to encourage industry and farm
ing in every legitimate way, by prop
er publicity and advertising and not
least by a just system of taxation
that shall be borne by all the people
as fairly and as directly as can be
devised
Professor CatIin's Views
Speaking for himself, Prof. Catlin
said he felt that to pass such meas
ure would be disgrace to the state.
Referring to the Florida law. he said
that Florida had never had an in
heritance tax and so gave up nothing
by not having it. The Inheritance
tax is called by economic authorities
the best and fairest tax that can be
devised, he said. The Maine tax
is not a grevious one, but If 1t We're.
he argued, that is no reason why 1t
should be done away with.
Prof. Catlin cautioned against too
much constitutional legislation"
saying that all taxes are unpopular,
and that while 1t might be easy to
put the proposed amendment on the
books, it would be very hard to get
rid of 1t.
Regarding the income tax. he said
that sentiment in favor of it is grow
ing, as a relief from the present in
equity of taxation which falls heavily
on the farmers aid other property
owners.
Replying to questions from Repre-
sentative Spear as to the attractive
ness of the proposal for prospective
citizens. Prof. Catlin said:
I'VE don't want to make Maine
merely a good place to die In; we
want to make it good place to live
in
He characterized the Florida law as
"barga in-counter legislation" and
nothing that Maine wants to initiate.

Stop That Backache!
Many Cody Folks Have Found
the Way.

Is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do You feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you? Then there's
something wrong and likely it's your
kidneys. Why not get at the cause?
Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant diuretic
to the kidneys. Your neighbors
recommend Doan's. Read what this
Cody resident says:
Mrs. Bert Cogswell, 1st, St., says:
my back was lame and weak and
there was a soreness over my kidneys.
Dizzy spells came on suddenly and
specks appeared before my eyes.
My kidneys acted irregularly and /
always had a tired feeling. / saw
Doan's Pills advertised and made up
my mind 10 try them. / used two
boxes purchased at the Cody Drug
Co., and they relieved me-" 4,

Cogswell had. Foster Milburn Co.,

Tony Hubner purchased a four
wheeled, horseless conveyance which
his family christened the Nervous
Wreck. 1t is claimed by those who
know that it is a real antique and
dates back almost to far to remember.
Tony found that it would not run
without an hour or two of coaxing for
every two or three hundred yards of
travel so he took it apart. He sent
for several new parts on the advice
of everyone to whom it was shown
and then spent from four to twenty
six hours a day putting it together a.
gain. Eventually all the pieces that
had reposed in orderly array on the
work bench were put back again.
Tony decided that now it was alto
gether again he would make a trip
to town. A date was set, and after
a good deal of coaxing Tony persuad-
ed his wife to accompany him. She
rather suspected him of wanting her
along to push and to hand him tools
while he undid this thing and fasten-
ed that thing accompanied what
would sound to be uniciated like a re-
ligious chant. Tony only spent nine
hours making the journey to Cody
and he says that he met everyone he
knew; never while the Nervous
Wreck was in motion but always
when he had parts strewn all around
him trying to find out what allied it.
And everyone offered him some well
meant advice. One neighbor who
kindly towed him up the hill advised
him to trade it in for a Ford, while
another announced that it was his
opinion it needed a new distributing
system, while still another was sure
! that a new carburator would set it in
motion. Tony admitted that it need
ed something alright but 'damifhe-
knew what it was.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lenniger becoming
worried at the non arrival of Tony
and his wife started up the river to
find there reason. At Bull Creek
they came upon Tony anxious
ly peering here and there to see if
everything was together again for the
fifth time. Deciding that it was he
spent some little energy in cranking
when the thing finally consented to
start and Tony climbed in and STRAIT
ed off, while Mr.. and Mrs. Lenniger
brought up the e To their sur
prise they saw their son-in-law spin
ming down the road as If something
were after him, or perhaps a life and
death race were taking place.
Tony said he thought that Il his
time had come to bid this world a
fond farewell for nothing he could do
would cause a decrease of speed and
finally he thought Of the switch. He
shut off the switch and with great re-
lief felt the Nervous Wreck slowing
down. He stated his opinion Of the
tempermental thing in good strong
language and climbed out to see what
was the matter. This time 1t proved
to be nothing more than the rubber
mat having caught the gas feed and
literally STEPPING on it" as II was.
Much TO Tony's wonder this proved
to be his last difficulty and upon
reaching Cody he took II to the
garage where they looked II over and
infomed him that there was nothing
wrong with Il, except there was some
rust in the gas tank which interfered
with its feed.
A taveling salesman and q garage
man offered to buy Il and Tony is
not yet certain whether the offer wns
sarcasm or pure kindness OF heart,
anyway Tony has become so attached
to the Nervous Wreck that nothing
could induce him to part with II.

Timely Hints For Another
Ton Per Acre
SEED BEDS

Our season is two weeks in advance of the average
year. Keep up with it by getting your beets in early.
This does not mean planting in seed beds which
have not been fully prepared. The effect OF a good seed
bed is lasting. Every subsequent operation on your
beet crop is decreased as the result of having a well
prepared seed bed.
However, there is still time to plant your beets as
they should be before May 18th. Make this date your
limit of planting.
