It .'iocs draw rather liaro on merchants who convenience custom ers by giving them credit to ha e to pay taxes on amounts thus due, and also be unable to offset what they themselves may owe.

The arguments for and against the proposition are about the same as those that were advanced in Vermont. Proponents of the measure claim that the change will save the state something like $lj,KKJ every two years and that the later date will be far more convenient for farmers and fishermen. Opponents con tend that the state gets good advertising from the September election and that state matters are given more consideration when they come up at a separate time. When everything is considered, however, the preponderance of argument seems to favor the change, and the chances are that Maine will follow Vermont's example. up to the full standard that one has a rijiht to expect of public servants, it' he sanctioned the disgraceful ''raid on the treasurv.
