AustrsIian Ballot for Town Meetings

Mr.. Hersey of Buckfeld, II the Australian
ballot bill becomes law, thinks its proyi-
slons might wisely be extended to the busi-
ness of town meetings. Mr.. Hersey SAYS
that at an annual meeting of the voters in a
Maine town, all the way from 10 to so or 60
questions are voted upon. These questions
are of much more important to the voters
tnan the choice of representatives. Tney
are the public questions which the most
nearly affect the private business of the peo.
pie. For this reason MT. Hersey believes
to the choice of state and town officers. it
should also be applied to the vote on town
affairs and the voters should be allowed to
write yes or no after each article in the town
warrant and in this, way Keep their action
private If they wished.
When the bill comes before the House.
Mr.. Hersey will move to amend 1t so that il
may be made obligatory, only In cities and

The Campaign of Enterprise Grange.

Mr.. White of Bangor has at last placed the
petition of Enterprise Grange of Orrington,
where its signers wanted 1t to go and Mr..
Porter, also of the Queen City, can now
draw long breath Of relief as the judiciary
committee will get no chance to hoodwink
the farmers of 0rrington this year. Enter
prise Grange, it will be remembered, regards
the standard time law as an impertinent in
reference with the functions of the sun
In his capacity as time keeper for Orrington
and the rest Of the world. So the Grange
petitioned that the STANDARD time law" be
repealed. Mr. White of Bangor introduced
this petition several days ago and moved its
reference to the judiciary committee.
1t was so referred notwithstanding
the objections of MIR. Porter, who said
that four years ago the judiciary committee
hoodwinked the farmers. To prevent a sim
liar deception this year MI. Porter wanted
the petition otherwise referred, but the
House seemed to think that the farmers
were able to take care of themselves even If
the judiciary committee took charge of the
measure. This morning, however, Mr..
White said that since the petition was re-
ferred. he had discovered that in it was a re-
quest that 1t go to the committee on agricul-
