The New Ballot Law,

The act introduced in the House.
Thursday, by Mr.. Strickland of Ban
ger, entitled IAN Act to Provide for
the Use of Uniform Ballot Boxes and
for the Preservation of Ballots Cast
at Elections. is in the main. an ex-
eellent piece of legislation. 1t con-
tains several needed amendments to
the existing election laws relative to
the construction and use of ballot
boxes, the prompt filing of election re-
turns, the more adequate Safeguard
ing of the ballots after election. and
the correction of errors in election re-
turns.
We believe. however, that Section 6
of the act seriously needs amendment
As drifted it provides that, within
"a hours after the close of any cleo
ton for Governor, senators, represen-
tatives to the Legislature. representa-
tives to Congress, electors of Presi
dent and Vice President of the United
States, and for county officers" the
clerk of each city or town shall eX-
press the ballots to the secretary of
State, or within three days after the
close of the election, shall deliver the
ballots to that official at his office in
fence for any person to break the seals
of the packages of ballots before they
are delivered at the office of the sec
rotary of State.
The practical effect of this section, if
adopted, will be to compel candidates
or other persons legally interested in
the results of an election, to travel to
Augusta in order TO inspect the bal
lots anG thus determine their legal
rights whereas under the existing law
they can make such inspection in the
office of the city or town clerk of the
places where they reside.
Our supreme court has decided that
such inspection can be made. under
the existing law, in the presence of
the town clerk, but that the right is
one of inspection only, and that the
person requesting such right cannot
touch or handle the ballots in any
manner; and further that it is the
duty of the town clerk, after such in
spection has been completed, to seal
up the ballots again and preserve
them as public record in the man
ner provided by statute.
We have never heard of a case,
since the adoption of the Australian
ballot law, in which the exercise of
this right of inspection was accompa-
MED by any fraudulent tampering
with the ballots. So far as that is
concerned, if the existing safeguards
and penalties are not deemed adequate
it is easy to make them so. But to
compel candidates from Fort Kent or
kittery or PASSPORT to travel to Au-
gusta in order to determine right
which might be ascertained speedily
and without expense in their own
towns, seems unreasonable and UNI
called for The general proposition,
however. of forwarding the ballots to
the secretary of State for preserva-
tion is not without merit and we sug-
gest that the substantial object of the
section can be obtained and its OBJ
jectionabie feature eliminated by pro-
viding that before delivery to the
secretary of State, the ballots shall
remain with town clerks for a certain
reasonable period. for example, IA
days during which period parties le-
gally interested shall be entitled to a
properly safe-guarded right of inspec-

The engraving of the new Govern
ment topographic map of the Kezar
Falls quadrangle. surveyed in coopera-
ton with the State of Maine, has just
been completed by the United States
Geological Survey Al Washington. and
the map is available for distribution.
This map represents by far the most
complete survey ever made of this
section of the State 1t shows so
clearly every physical feature of the
country covered that the character of
any part of the quadrangle, as Well as
the shapes and areas of the hills and
valleys, can be seen at a glance. The
elevation of any particular point in
the entire area can be easily deter
mined. This relief of the country is
graphically shown by means of brown
contour lines each one of which rep
resents a certain elevation above the
sea-that is, the traveller following the
course shown by one of these contour
lines will go neither up hill nor down
HILL but on a level The elevation in
dicated by every fifth line is shown by
figures on the map, and it is interest
ing to determine the heights of diff
ferenr points, by simply counting the
contours up or down from one of the
marked lines Ii is easy to under
stand how such map is of prime
value to the engineer who may be
laying out railroad or trolley route,
Il highway a drainage or irrigation
system-in fact any piece of engineer
ing work. The water features of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., lakes, etc.-are
shown in blue, with the same exact
ness of outline as the land features.
Ii addition to the topography, the
map shows. in black, all the works of
man-roads, principal bridges, towns,
houses etc.
