Belfast ROtarians
Hear State Treasurer
On Finances of Maine
(SneciaI to Kennebec Journal,

especial to kenneDec JOurnal)
Belfast, Me-, July 19-"Last week
was the busiest week in the year in
my Office" state treasurer William L.
Bonney, told the Belfast Rotarians
today at their luncheon in the Wind
sor Hotel. 1--WE disbursed approXi-
mately a million dollars, 1000 in
checks. All the states income passes
through this office as well as all dis
bursements."
In speaking of the present tax rate
of Z mills, treasurer Bonney said the
revenue received from direct and in
direct taxation one-half from each is
expended as follows: three and one
third mills to the public schools; one
mill to the war bond sinking fund (;
one mill to the support of second and
third class roads and the remainder
for the running expenses ofsthe state.
The last legislature appropriated ap-
proximately one million dollars for
each year. Twenty five years ago the
tax rate was two and two third mills
but at that time there was no war
bond and but little was spent on the
roads. At that time too only one mill
was spent on the public schools, the
remainder one and a third going to
state expenses"

sacrifice and too little upon the
American treatment OF debts on

that his second cabinet was virtu-

awaiting only rel lies from two pro-
spective ministers. The president
of the chamber was able to make
this announcement only after var-
Gus vicissitudes which threatened to
bring an end to his endeavors.
The first intention of the premier
designate to form a national union

except extremists, was defeated by
the decision of the conservative
leaders that NJ. Herriot was not the
man to bring about the union nee
essary to carry along with it the
whole force of the nation for the
solution of the financial problem.
His second plan was to enlarge
the old coalition of the Left and
rely upon majority made up prin-
cipally of Socialists and Radicals.
but this was compromised by the
withdrawal of NJ. LIE Trocquer.
NJ. Herriot finally prevailed upon
Maurice Colrat. who was a member
of M. Poincare's last cabinet. and

opinion in the combination as min
