The assurance contained in the letter

spirit and the proposed increase IN rate
is no violation of it.
The 50 called Public Utilities Act.
which is now the subject Of referendum
has in it general provision to which you
refer, requiring that the first rates TO DE
filed under it should not exceed those in
effect January /. 1913. But the fact being
apparent that corporations under the
jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission were constantly changing
their rates under authority of that Com
mission, and that in such changes inter-
state ana intra state rates We're usually
interdependent, ii was provided, that the
above requirement should not apply to
corporations under the jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, but
that such corporations should file the
rates in force when the law took effect
Notwithstanding the fact that the joint
conference OF Interstate Commissioners
Prouty and the Commissioners of the
four Northern New England states nave
expressed their opinion as to mileage
rates, | should have been very glad to
have taken this question up fully before

of 'W. P. A because they have often

The Coming Apple.
Editor Kennebec Journal:
I 1t is characteristic of the human
race to be constantly looking for
something new, something fresh and
something better. The old, however
good, becomes stale or monotonous. 1t
has been so from time immemorial. We
can trace the origin Of the desire back
to our first parents. Adam was well
contented to sit under common tree
and contemplate the fine scenery, but
no SO Eve-she, womanlike, had to
go nosing around till she struck that
apple, the taste of which opened their
eyes to the true situation, quickly fol-
lowed by revolution and knowl-
edge of things. 1t was well that it was
= so, otherwise we would have been as
i. ignorant and innocent as babes in a
wilderness. Since then people have
ibeen reaching out for something new
land better and to this longing we are
Indebted to everything of value wheth-
Ter from accident in discovery or from
scientific investigation.
The Baldwin apple was only a new
land promising Seeding. discovered on
Ia Massachusetts, farm but developed
in size, color and quality TO almost per-
Election by scientific treatment and cul-
stivation. 1t has attained a worldwide
fame that no other apple has reached
much less exceeded.
For years some of the best horticul-
stprists both East and West have spent
time and money in their efforts to pro-
Iduce an apple equal to if not superior
to the Baldwin, but without success.
The late Dr.. Hoskins of Montpelier,
vt, experimental for several years
with thousands of seedlings, in that
worthy endeavor, and at one time he
was very enthusiastic over the sup
position that at last he had discovered
the right apple. which needed only
a little further development and test
dng to establish its claims to rival if
not to supersede the Baldwin. He sent
