difference where the pain is located.
whether in the muscles, joints or kid
neys, Uric-O will search it out and

| .,entinG the Central Labor Union OF
that town. said that his organization
WAS in favor of the principle because
it had been tried in the large labor or
CARNATIONS and found to be complete
success.
Mayor c. A. knight of Gardiner en-
dorsed the principle. saying that nc be-
licvcd that in 50 doing he spoke for
the majority of the people of Garli-
ner. Personally he thought il might
be we'll to try it on the statutory laws
before applying it to the constitution.
| Kingsbury w. Piper Of Waterville,
secretary of the State Referendum
, League said that the constitution was
| amply provided for now. that the fixed
| number Of signers for the petition was
| preferable to his mind and that the Is
| per cent. in the counties was objection
able.
Rep. Cobb of Gardiner favored the
principle, but thought the constitution
| too sacred to be changed easily.
Hen. Herbert NJ. Heath of Augusta
touched upon the reasons why the con-
stitutional provision was either IA
vored or objected to. claiming that
some things are done on the ground
Of expediency.
He spoke of the promise in the Re-
publican platform that the 73d Legisla-
turc should give the people a direct ini-
tiative and referendum applying to
statutory law was not so plainly
cratic platform was not 50 plainly
wordcd. it meant precisely the same
thing. He then took up certain sections
Of the Weeks bill. saying that the use
Of the initiative might raise the ques-
ton whether or not it created sec
ond law making body.
"No more unjust statement was ever
made concerning this BILL" said Mr.
Heath, than that which has been pub
licly made that the constitutional Pro-
vision was left out on account of wild
lands and resubmission. 1t is a broad
er and wiser provision than that"
GAS to that doubt 1 would submit to
u committee of lawyers that the State
can no more raise the tax on wild
lands than it could tax my house three
mills and tax real estate in an morgan
lied township Is mills
Continuing and in regard to resub-
mission, Mr. Heath said:

Mr. Merrill declined to state an orin-
ion as to which bill was preferable.

ed that his organization was in favor
of the Weeks bill. preferrinS the fixed
,, number of petitioners and the provi-
sion allowing more than Is per cent. Of
the signerS to come from single

Abncr W. Nichols of Augusta, repre-
senting several labor organizations.
stated that they were in favor. of the
principle and the Weeks bill in partic-
ular. They are perfectly satisfied With
the bill without the constitution, but
would also be satisfied with the consti-
tutional provision.
In answer to a question put by Mr..
Johnson 10 previous WltIcSS, MI.
Nichols said that they felt as if all
parts of the State should have an APP
portunity to vote upon questions, even
though of local interest.
C.. L. Burleigh said that in govern
ment resting upon the sovereignty Of
the people the referendum was entirely
proper. AS newspaper man he had
recognized in his section of the State
a strong public sentiment in it's favor.
He believed, however, that matters of
State interest so submitted should
have behind them an expressed senti-
ment in favor of such reference that
should be fairly representative of the
whole State. In answer to a questi)l
by Representative Weeks. he said that
he had only considered the subject
with reference to matters of general
interest to the people of the State. He
could see 20 special objection. however.
to providing for a local referendum
in matters of q purely local character.
In reply to question by Representa-
tive Waldron he said that if the sound
ness of the principle was admitted he
did not see why it should not apply to
the constitution a. we'll as the statutes.
ina smuch as both rested upon the will
Of the peOnle.

commissioners and the probate court
and vault as being up to it's limit.
The plan Of Improvement is to build
a wing on the south side toward the
Jail, at an estimated cost for improve
ments and enlargement of $4,000.
Herman III. Adams said that he
thought there was some necessity Of
some Improvement and some more
room. but how much he couldn't say.
The heating plant. however. must be
fixed at once. said Mr. Adams, both as
to the court house and the Jail.
County Treasurer Blanchard ex-
pressed the view that the bonds could
be tioated at par for 3l2 per cent. run
ming from is to 20 years. and that the
improvements could be made cheaper
in one job than in two or three.
Frank L. Dutton argued that the
provisions are not in accord with the
dignity or of the necessity of the
county. He also treated the matter in
detail. taking up the office of the regis
ter of deeds, judge and register Of
probate and ether departments in their
order.
The delegation then adjourned with

In his opinion the initiative and refer
endum was the only way to preserve
these institutions.
The third reason presented by Nj
Dunnack was that it would check thu
steals and corruption of the great cor
porations, and the fourth reason was
hat the moral welfare of the commune
ties were better safe guarded. In repiy
to a question from Mr.. Weeks. he said
that he favored the constitutional pro-
vision also.
Alden NJ Flagg % Auburn was called
to state that the Lewiston and Auburn
Central Labor Union. comprising 500
members, was in favor OF ths Weeks
bill.
Walter S. Smith Of Biddeford favored
the Weeks bill. with a constitutional
provision il possible.
Uric l.. Leighton Of Saco. represent
ing the Biddeford and Saco Central
Labor Union. stated that his organiZa-
ton favored a referendum bill, but he
was not instructed to give the prefer
ences Of the Central on the two bills.
John +. Connolly OF Bangor. represent
ing the Bangor Central Labor Union
Of 1900 members. said that he had been
sent before the committee to advocate.
The prici,)le had been discussed by the
body. he said, and it had beer decided
to favor the Weeks bill, except that
there was division as to constitution
al amendments.
Hon. NJ l.. Merrill of st. Adams.
chairman of the Grange legislative
committee, showed a bundle of g. pc
tit;ons from various rural towns.
THE organization that sent me here
has had the matter under consideration
for a long time" said Mr.. Merrill. land
has now declared unanimously in IA
vOr of an initiative and referendum
bill The interest is great and it seems
to me- there can be no objections to it.
It is simply carrying out the idei. of
the old town meeting. The petitions say
that we believe in the initiative and ref
ercndum and all that goes with it. Not
that we believe that the constitution is
to be lightly tempered with. but l be-
liove that the people shoNld have the
POWER to reach the constitution under
proper restrictions. These people are

them. 90 l believe in an initiative and
