with the national government for inter
state roads and other roads that are on
sufficient importance to warrant the en-
ployment of national aid In building.
Any other course is untenable. unconsti-
tutional and basically wrong. But we
do ask of the men who are trying, and
conscientiously trying. to build interstate
and transcontinental highways to re-
member the necessity of improving the
great basic industry of our country to
the end that all the people in this great
country may ultimately be benefited.
Legislation by Commission.
Eminent men have studied the sub
iect of legislation in the past without
much resulting benefit and will continue
these labors in the years that are to
come. The thing that the Grange stands
for in legislation is the obvious equity
of this proposition: THAT In legislative
action the aim should be-how best to
conserve the interest of all the people.
II has been demonstrated that the
farmer is not too busy nor Is he so en-
barassed by his positions of trust that
he has not the time or courage to race
his share of the responsibility In get
ting the right thing DONE 1t makes us
proud Of our kind when We realize that
great majority Of the people are nom
est courageous and sincerely anxious
to serve others while advancing their
own interests. OF the correctness OF
this estimate there can be no doubt. IL
Is our best boast and our noblest vindi-
cation. Any one who has observed
closely legislative procedure in Name
must be convinced that the instrumen-
talities provided for legislative enact
ments are Anticipated and inefficient In
session of about 80 days representa-
tives are required to study and pass
upon hundreds Of measures. The haste
necessary in procedure Of this klnd
must necessarily, in the passage OF
MANY bills. be crude in form and WITH
ont suf1icient thought or discussion, as

Men are called from the ordinary walks
of rfc without previous training or
experience and are expected to cpnsio-
er and pass upon the merits OF meas
urcs many of which should he given
weeks of thought and study by men OF
trained minds and superior lnteiiec''
And then, the pity of it all is' IN TWO
wears other men are elected to NIL the
places of those who, in way nave
have become fitted to discharge THESE
duties. il custom permitted the return
ing Of men a second time. Under suca
conditions it must necessarily Ioliow
that a few men dominate and steer les-
islaticn pretty nearly to their own hK-
irg. And when the first days OF the SEES
sion consists largely of talk, little prog
ress and no legislation. we know the re-
suit. The rush and hustle to get import
ant measures through; the hurry buriy
resulting from closing of all business
by a specified time, results in some
body,s getting badly hurt and very few
getting justice. The business OF lesis-
lating for a state is serious one, too
serious to be carried on by officials,
each interested primarily in a certain

we have reason for asking ourselves
seriously how shall this waste be elm
mated.
The hauling of farm products is done
in foreign countries-it is being done
in some parts of this country-for 10
cents a ton per mile. 1t ought to be
done in Maine, with improved roads,
for IL to Is cents a ton per mile.
While it is true that the best business
methods are perhaps not at AL times
adopted and that available money is
not at all times wisely expended, still
It is evident that under most favorable
conditions and the best of business
methods a general and Statewide per-
manent road Improvement is not pos
sible without federal aid. Before any
Statewide system of road building is
inaugurated scientific study of con-
ditions and needs relating to traffic
and location should be made.
Senator Bourne. in an article pub
| lished in the Saturday Evening Post,
said: Scarcely any public work is
more permanent in its character when
once undertaken than that Of highway
Improvement. When a road Is once
located 1t is difficult to change the To-
cation. When once foundation has
been laid for permanent highway the
laying Of a new foundation necessi-
tates reconstruction of the entire sur
face. This being true, it is Of the ut
most importance that before any def
mite policy for the expenditure of large
additional sums Of money Is outlined,
scientific study of the Industrial road
needs shall be made. taking into con-
sideration the people to be served and
the tonnage to be carried.
study of the present road situation
am convinced will show that we nave
been drifting away from sound theory
of road building and maintenance, but II
IA time we were alive to the necessity OF
enforcing road construction largely from
the commerce standpoint. If we do this
we will fnd that the railroads, the troll
lev companies and the automobilists VINO
are residents off the main lines OF travel
between large cities have interests COM
mon with the farmers, and the automo-
bile manufacturers who are looking to
tho farmers as future customers must
see that the commerce theory OF road
construction will best serve their inter-
ests.
IF It is necessary for the government

ve,onment to provide better transporta-

OF these men are inexperienced.
What is the remedy? I believe thai
experience shows that efficiency goe.
with small numbers rather than with
large; | believe that consolidation OF
authority works we'll; / believe thai
the business of making laws Is Of toe
much Importance and too serious
matter to crowd the work of months
into the space of few days, and es-
pecially when this work is to be per-
formed largely by men Of inexperience
and no previous training.
/ am not particular as to details
or as to how the men who make oui
laws, shall be chosen, but l do in
sist that our present Legislature Is
too large; is unwieldly and too little
time is allowed for the consideration
of measures presented to them for ac-
ton. And / am fully convinced thai
a much smaller number of men chos-
en- from each Congressional district
would better meet requirements ano
serve the people than does our present
system. These men should be broad
gauge from every standpoint They
should know Maine, it's needs and re-
quirements, and should be elected to
stay on the job until their work is
completed Sometime this or some
more simplified form is bound to
come Sometime we shall shake OIL
traditional hobbies. Sometime we will
stride outside the walk of party preju-
dice and do as well as we know.
Conclusion.
Our motive in coming together in
annual session is to outline work for
the new year, and to this task we
should address ourselves with intelli-
gent zeal BY comparison, we should
be able to decide whether or not we
have made material advancement as
an organization, and if. as local units.
we have scored successes. These ses-
sions were intended to be used for TAX
ing an account of stock and blazing
paths leading toward the sunrise. They
furnish us our best opportunities for
deciding on and assigning work for
the future, that will promote the well
fare of the order.
During the past year my time and
best efforts have been devoted to the
Grange and its welfare, and l assure
you that / appreciate, and am CRATE
full for the kindly help and support
received. I have found loyalty to the
organization and devotion to principle.

Patrons in all sections Of our State. l
have found ready help and sympathy

beyond the power of words to express,
the friends 1 have made and their
abiding loyalty to me and my methods

After commodities have been pro-

be considered is the transportation of
those products to the consumer at
the least possible cost. This problem

consumer.
Finding conditions as we do, State
or municipal ownership is not to be
seriously considered at present, and
capital from whatever source should
be welcomed. Let 1t come, and it will
be a work of sufficient magnitude and
will occupy our best thought and all of
our time to see that this power when
developed shall be available to and
used for the benefit of ali our people
IT is said that Maine has waterpower
still undeveloped to the extent of a bill
lion horse power. And the government
has put that kind of power on the mar
ket at $25 per horsepower a year, and
private ownership has developed and
sold the same force at one-fifth of that
amount. The lowest and best is what
we want, and this is for us to consider.
With agriculture developed to the lin
1t in Maine, we can feed all New Eng
land. Cheap power on the farm and
for transportation is the first step to-
ward this development. When we wake
up to realization of what our water
powers are worth, we will wonder that
we had not thought of ii years before.
This helping to induce capital to In
vest in this development and helping to
direct legislation along right lines,
will be the most important work the
Grange ever attempted.

SMOKING AND SHAVING NOT TO
BE PROHIBITED ON PULLMANS

Denial was made here yesterday by
Superintendent C. w Lewis of the pull
man company that smoking and shaving 8
would be prohibited in Pullman cars
on and after July /. He said that only
in exceptional cases was smoking pro-
hbited in observation compartments
and it certainly would be inconsistent
to dsallow smoking in those eompart-
ments specially arranged for the smok-
ing public.
The statement of Mr.. Lewis was in
denial of a general rumor that has
been heard locally for some time that
in the light of a recent supreme court
decision the Pullman company would
make a rule prohibiting smoking on
lany cars as well as shaving. The tray
cling public has heard of the rumor
from time to time and it will doubtless
be received with qualification that two
such liberties as smoking and shaving
will be continued on Pullmans.
1t was stated that the ladies OBJ
jected to smoking on account of the
smoke going back into the other COM

FIRST STEEL At NEW
HOTEL TOMORROW
Brief FOrmalities Will Mark
Erection of First Beam
at Tutwiler Hotel

Brief formalities will be held when the
first steel girder is placed on the Tut
wier $1o0l,000 hotel, corner Fifth avenue
and Twentieth street. Nothing definite
has been arranged in connection with the
placing of the first beam, but it is gen.
orally understood that some formalities
will be a part of the first steel work.
On account OF some delay the first steel
beam was not placed yesterday. The steel
did not get the girder in place. 1t is
stated that the first steel will be placed
tomorrow afternoon, although the steel
workers have not officially indicated the
hour.
Mr.. Mullins steel contractor for the
Tutwiler. has a crew of steel workers here
now and others will be added from time
to time in order to get the steel work
completed as rapidly as possible. Every
energy will be exerted tof get the steel
placed on the Tutwiler with as little delay
as possible.
With the construction OF the Tutwiier
hotel the Motion apartment hotel, the
Ridgely apartments and the Roden hotel,
all within few blocks of each other,
the sky line in the downtown SECTION VIII
undergo a considerable change, accord
ing to the general opinion. The steel

ELKOURIE TO SPEAK
ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Will Address Peoples Forum at the
Amuse-U This Afternoon-Op-
poses Vote for Women

This afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock Dr. II. A.
Elkourie, we'll known physician and civic
worker, will deliver his address before
the Peoples Forum at the Amuse-U Z
theatre on "Womans Suffrage"
DR.. Elkourie is the antithesis of one
Mrs. Pankhurst His doctrine is chat
every step nearer womap;s suffrage is q
step nearer chaos" He is fighting the
vote for women, and is fighting in the
open. He stated yesterday he invited not
only those who agreed with him, but
those who disagreed with his views to
come and hear him this afternoon and
offer their criticism.
'The cry is that woman is the equal
of man. said DR.. Elkourie. "Of course
she is the equal of man; she's his su-
perior. That's why Il do not want her
to vote. I favor keeping her free from
the contamination of the outside world
keep her pure, at home. queen to wor-
ship and counsel with in the future as
she has been in the past" Indications
are that DR.. EllSourie, who is regarded
as a very able orator, will be heard
by large crowd this afternoon.
