A Grotesque and Shameless Scheme.
T.nclI1n1 nninjnO

We have viewed the proposition to
remove the State Capital from Augusta
to Portland as more Of a joke than any
thing else, or at most scheme to keep
the Kcnncuec and Cumberland delcga
tons in Legislature apart and to pre-
vent them acting in harmony on mat
terS where they would naturally act to-
gether. We had not supposed that
anybody in his senses would in good
faith propose to saddle on the people
of Maine SO grotnsquc a scheme, by the
side of which Col. Mulberry Sellers S
projects We're patterns of wisdom and
practical sense. But at the hearing on
Wednesday. the matter seems to have
been taken seriously on all hands, and
our advicCS from Augusta are to the
effect that the Portland crowd are wilk
ing to trade off all the legislation de-
manded by the people, and mortgage
their immortal souls if need be, in or
der to commit the state to their pre-
posteroUs proposition. They are willing
to sacrifice resubmission, let the oturSs
law remain in force forever. permit the
wild lands barons and railroad mag
mates fix the system of taxation to suit
themselves, kill the initiative and refer
enUun, ana restore the ola rinS 10 us
old place, if only they can have the
state Capital put on wheels and the
State bankrupteI to erect and furnish
palaces to adOrn Portland and boom
Portland real estate values. We can
not believe, however, that 50 shame
less a job can be put through. LegiSla-
tors must realize that the half-milliOn
that the Portland city government
voted to contribute 10 the building of
a new State House, the other night
even if it should be paid, which is eX-
tremcly improbable, since the city has
no legal power tc tax its people for
such purpose,-it would be a mere
baGatelle to the expense involved. 1t is
easy to talk Of economy now. But
should the State he committed to the
job, ii would be carried on upon the
same lines as the other public build
ings frauds with which the country is
disguised. And why should the State
sanction such a job? What good will it
do to move the scat of the State gov
eminent? 1t would be of no benefit to
any citizen Of Maine outside Of these
who get the graft. We hope the Lcgis-
laturc will waste no time on the job
but sit down on it at once.

Aroostook's View Of it.
(AronstOOk TimCS.O

One Of the things Aroostook needs
in common with III" rest ~
Maine is more State aid for
schools in order to obtain that NOR"
generous basis OF education which exists
in many other states. Public education
has made great advances during the past
Quarter of n century and involves murh
more expense than used to be necessary
There, are few ways ir which the public
money can he better spent. If indeed,
there be any. Every dollar put into
schools is an investment in brains which
later on will work for the good Of the
community and help to advance its in
tercstS.
Rut lust at present there is a plan on
foot which if successful would settle the
question of increased State aid for
schools by leaving the State no money
or credit for the purpose. This is the
scheme Of moving the State capital 10
Portland. which is now before legis-
lative committee. 1t calls for a new
State House. costing several millions
nobody knows exactly how much-most
of which would have to be provided by
the State, wiping out the surplus in the
treasury and proving n constant drain
unon the resources of Maine fer many
wears. If this project should succeed
good-by to any hope of improved schools
and school houses: and all this to have Il
state Capitol in Il place very nearly rs

No Demand From the People.
(Somersct RepOrtcr.)

An attempt is being made by q few
ambitious and selfish politicians to
stampede the Legislature into the hasty
action Of the removal of the State capt.
tai to Portland. We cannot believe there
is the possibility of success, for we
have confidence in the good judgment
and common sense of the members of
the Legislature Of both political parties.
1t is not political question, but a clear
business proposition.
There is no demand for this from the
people. Not a single petition has been
presented to the Legislature asking for
the removal, not line has appeared in
State newspaper favoring q removal.
or giving a single reason for the pro-
posed change.
While we have already given ample
reasons for opposing removal, another
remains which is considered by many
as the vital Onc-the cost. 1t would
open the gates to graft, graft, graft, of
the most wholesale character. No
mean State House does Portland want.
To purchase 81 acres of land in n de-
SRA bic location there and erect thereon
n building no better than what we now
have. with the present high price Of
labor and material would cost a. least
S4,0CO.O0O. Portland's promise gift Of
$500, 900 would be sunk in the lot and
the foundation. But would it stop
there? Not much. 1t would reach
the great sum of ten or fifteen millions
before the work was completed. Look
at the experience of two states that
have recently passed through the try
ing ordeal of building state capitols.
The state of Pennsylvania appropriate
ed $4,000, 900 for the construction of a
capitol. 1t cost, without furniture,
| $11 ,6SJ,SJl. The Lord only knows how
| much the furniture cost. The original
appropriation for the new State House
at Albany. n. Y, was S12.O0O.000. 1t
| has already cost sS0.000,000 and por-
| lions of the foundation are settling,
and must be rebuilt.
In last falls campaign the platforms
of both political parties bristled with
pledges of economy in public expendi-
lures. The Legislature has passed a
just appropriation bill carrying more
| than million dollars and another bill
will follow later. Worthy objects have
| been waiting for years with out
stretched hands, asking for help. Will
the Legislature. without petition
from single voter. plunge into this
| eXtrava gance the end of which no one
f! can foresce? No, sir!

Go Slowly.
: Maine Farmer.)

make haste slowly" in spite of the in
tolerance which latter day business
methods have sometimes created, for it
is still as full of homely wisdom as the
day on which it was first used And es-
pecialy in its application to the spending
of money it still holds good, even in
these times when business is done at
high pressure. II is so easy to spend q
dollar and so relatively hard to earn or
save one, that there is profit in thinking
more than once before parting from it.
Modern finance, if it has taught anything,
has taught that progress is to be found
in holding to the dollar until an oppor-
tunity offers for its really profitable in
vestment
Whether it be a question of investing
the money of an individual or of group
of individuals, the rule is the same, ex-
cept that in the community where the
responsibility for the expense to the
many is in the hands of the few, the
haste should be even more slow, with a
clear and careful, foresight of its event
ual meaning.
In discussing the question of the re-
moval of the capital from Augusta to
any other point, it should be remembered
that it can only be accomplished at the
cost of millions of dollars. perhaps ST.
900. perhaps sS,O0OoOO. Experience has
shown that such buildings generally do
exceed their initial appropriations.
But the point to be remembered in con-
sidering this question in this State is
simply whether the taxpayers, on whom
the cost would fall. will find a profitable
investment in such an outlay. In other
words, can it be afforded? Will the re-
turn from such an investment in the
light of increased taxes, make it desir-
able? 1t is we'll to make haste slowly
in answering this question: to consider
it as a plain business proposition, since
that is the only manner in which con-
dtions give it any right to considera-
ton.
Or would the voter, the taxpayer-that
it, the whole State-profit more by decid-
ing simply that the money should not be
spent. or if spent, that it should, for in
stance, be put into good roads, which the
farmer needs SO badly, or more rural
schools?
The investment Of 100000 of the peo-
pies money to move the capital, or in
anything else, would be an undertaking
of great Importance. Haste should be
made slowly in considering it carefully
1t is a plain business question into
| which neither politics nor corporate in
terests should be allowed to enter Every
voter can consider it for himself just
how much it will add to his taxes-just
how long it will take to wipe on. the

Another Good Town Heard From.
(Waldo County CONNIE

(Waldo County Commercially
The cities and towns which want the
State Capitol are multiplying like the
frogs of Egypt, Portland, Bangor. Lewis
ton, Watervillc, Bath, Brunswick. Dover
and Foxcroft, and still the list grows.
But there IS one place that we have not
yet seen mentioned That is Durham.
Now Burnham is nearer the centre of the
State than any other place mentioned,
unless it he Dover and Foxcroft. More
over it is right on the main line between
the east and the west. and at the june
ton of the Belfast branch True Burn
hams hote, accommodations are some
what limited at present, but if the leg
islaturc would meet in the month Of
June for a few years. the members might
hold their sessions in n tent. Hotel ac-
Communications might also be provided in
tents and all could have a good old camp
meeting time Then when Burnham
wants to grow and become a Zig city
there is plenty Of land all around to build
on. Waldo's Senator Libby lives I'm
Rurnham. and he couldn't immortaiize
himself any quicker than by getting the
Capitol removed to Burnham. Who votes
for Durham?
