A Prediction With a Big II

Alas and alack, The one lone eX-
ponent of popular government among
the Democratic organs of Maine, has
fallen into the clutches of the standpat-
ters. After preaching direct legislation
for years, and being the first to sug-
gest the enactment of direct prim-
airy law by means of the initiative
the Waterville Sentinel now ridicules
our suggestion for similar treatment
of the good roads problem. Thus
worketh the fine Italian hand of Pat
tangall via the bondholders' COM
mittee.
IF the initiative and referen-
dunn section in our constitution
is ever repealed it will because
of Just such unwise action as this
which the Observation-Disclosures
advocates" predicts the new
editor, fresh from the headquarters
of the Maine Non-Partisan Local Self
Government league in Portland. We
can understand the hatred and dis
trust which the discredited politician
feels for the power of the people to
thwart the will of the schemers
by means of the ballot. After
making sundry bargains with the rum
trust, and then getting control of the
executive and legislative branches OF
the state government, it is of course
disheartening to the politicians to
have the people interfere with the de-
livery of the goods, but such is fate.
Incidentally we incline to the opinion
that the dose handed out Sept. 1lth
is but the beginning of the end.
Had the new editor of the now re-
dictionary Sentinel devoted but part
of his misspent energies last summer,
to a study of the highway situation,
he would now know that town poll
tics center about the highway appro-
priation. Even the most casual inves-
tigation would have shown him the
connection between local politics and
a seat in the Legislature. Then he
would have understood why 1t is that
the honorable gentlemen at Augusta
are so reluctant to vote for any law
that will cut off the graft from their
friends and henchmen at home In
fact the whole situation is somewhat
similar to that which led to the en-
actment of the Davies direct primary
law. If anybody thinks that the ini-
repeal, we suggest that he just look

Fence Law Bad For Sheep
Business

One of our leading farmers, and a
man whose opinion is entitled to
great weight, informs us that in addi-
ton to disadvantages in freight rates,
the sheep industry is also badly
handicapped by the present fence law
On looking into the matter we find
that the law is not only very liberal in
its definition of a legal fence, but fixes
no standard of efficiency. Our inform
ant has found it impossible to secure
a fence around his pasture that would
turn sheep, unless he built it all him
self and as the only practical alter
native, has abandoned the sheep bust
ness.
With the cost of living rising on
all sides, this state of affairs is surely
something that the people of Maine
cannot afford to have continue. For
animals requiring such extensive
range as sheep, the injustice of COM
polling single owner to fence the
entire common line, is Immediately
apparent. Inquiry from number of
sheep raisers has confirmed the opin-
ion that this matter should be looked
into thoroughly, and remedied at the
first opportunity. Probably the forth
coming special session of the legis-
lature will be too busy threshing out
the RIM oueStiOn and Dlayinp notifies
to do anything of the kind, but next
fall there will be pretty good chance
to elect something different in quality
if not in name.
If our governmental system worked
according to the beautiful theory on
which it was founded, it would only
be necessary for a few sheep men to
call the attention of their represen-
tatives to the defects in the fence law,
and leave them to do the rest, but
alas. The facts of the situation are
that each member of the legislature
thinks of his personal welfare first,
his party welfare second and the gen
eral welfare last. Consequently it
takes something of demonstration to
impress the solons at Augusta. Per
haps if the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture gets through scrapping with the
different organizations in time, he will
take hold of the sheepmens troubles
and help.

Make The Tariff Board
Permanent

Viewed in the light of the reception
which statesmen, manufacturers and
the public have accorded the wool re-
yJIt OF the Tariff Board. Senator
Eoveridge was a prophet when he said
T. OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was
the last of its kind 1t certainly
seems impossible that the American
! cople will ever again tolerate either
iog rolling" or peanut politics in
the making of their revenue laws.
iHder some form or other, the Tariff
Hcard has come to stay.
For more than a year Schedule h
has been the especial target for the
assaults OF the politician and the
r!uc,;ral,er. Meanwhile the manu-
lecturers protected by it have stouty
defended what they insisted was the
citadel or protection Charges and
counter charges, statements and de-
malls so filled the air that the average

man was hopelessly in the dark as to
the facts Public opinion had no OPP
portunity to crystalline and make it
self felt in Congress.
all is changed Even the novice and
layman can see that each party to
the controversy was partly right and
partly wrong. The suggestion of a
specific duty on wool based on the
secured content commends itself TO
every fair minded man at once. In
fact the scientific analysis of Seized
ule X should make it fairly easy for
all hands in Congress to get together
on a basis of honest, downward revis-
ion that will meet the needs of the
consumer, and at the same time give
TO the manufacturer that measure of
protection for which our people have
voted over and over again.
To us this wool report looks like
the master stroke of the Taft admins
tration With the now enlightened
public opinion behind him, the Presi-
dent should find it easy TO make even
a Democratic House do the reason
ably proper thing. II is barely pos
sibly that the public will uphold
efforts to retain the tariff Issue for
political use in the next presidential
but we know of a great
