ANNUAL MEETING OF maine
AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION AT
PORTLAND MONDAY EVENING

the Highway Commission rejoices in
the interest both organizations are
taking in this great problem. If you
ask me what is the greatest need for
the future of Maine roads, say 1t IS
that more interest, more honest, in
telligent, unselfish interest be taken
in the matter by the people of Maine.
The highway problem is the greatest
single problem in Maine today-the
one question vitality affecting more
people than any other. And yet COM
paratively few realize this.
The economic development of our
State, whether from the farmers
standpoint or the tourists standpoint
or the general business standpoint,
depends fundamentally upon better
roads. And the best minds among rs
should be bent toward a solution o.
the complex problems presented.
Sympathy With Grange
Il have complete sympathy with the
Grange and it's demand for better
roads from the farm. Every farmer,
living as he does in more or less
isolated place, is dependent upon the
road. The city man has generally
good street, good sidewalk or a troll
ley line he can use. but the farmer
has none Of them. For the hauling OF
his farm products and supplies the
schooling of his children, attendance
at church and social events. he re-
quires a good road. am glad the
Grange is discussing and resolving up
on this matter, but / would like 10
have the Grange get right down TO
business and say what they want in
detail Their purpose is eVioent
enough-a road from every farm 10
the village or railroad station, put
what detailed plan have they for ac-
complishing this much desired result.
Twenty-Five thousand miles of road
cannot be built all at once. If the
work is to go on at all, 1t must De ov

system and method.
How are both to be provided? 1
answer not by class, criticism anu
glitterfng generalities, but by the ac-
tive, intelligent charitable interest on
both parties The Legislature mas
made a law which undertakes to 90
both of these things. A fund is pro-
vided for through lines in the BOND
issue: a fund is provided for country
roads by special appropriation. But
the Granger knows TO his discomfort
that Improvement under State aid is
very slow-each town can improve put
a. short section each year, and ne LOOKS
askance at the large volume OF money
now being. expended upon through
lines. He calls them scenic bouieVaros
and speedways, and is jealous OF ana
antagonistic to this work. the law
however requires the building OF con-
nected, inter-county through lines, DIS
we'll as State-aid or country roads
The Granger knows this and way,
therefore, should he complain VIII
tell you why. 1t is because the trunk
lines are costing too much money and
Welding too little mileage. The road
work on the State highway system
has been going on the past year in
every county. The Granger has seen
it and he knows it is costly work.

intimated that the ordering of extra

fight.

sides join in asking for action earlier,
the supreme court will issue a mandate

Hampshire and pave the way for his i'm

brief, Thaw's counsel sought his freedom

against him charged no crime; that if
he was insane. as the New York authori-
ties commended in placing him in the asy-
lum, he could not be guilty of the crime

Question Before Court
The supreme court held, in effect that
the question of the prisoners sanity or
insanity was one which should be passed
upon by the New York state courts; that
an extradftable crime was charged, and
the only question before the supreme
court was the degaIity of the extradition
of a prisoner so charged.
Legal authorities who have followed
the case predicted today that wide field
of controversy would be opened up when
the New York courts were reached. In
this connection it was recalled that dur
ing the argument recently Chief Justice
White intimated that immediate impris-
onment of Thaw in Matteawan without
trying him on the conspiracy indictment
might give rise TO another habeas cor
pus proceeding in the federal courts

of Iowa summer school will be a rec
ord breaker All indications point to
an unusual enrolment in the session
which starts Monday, June 20 and
ends July 81.
More public school teachers will
come to the university this summer
than ever before. The offering OF
courses in teaching agriculture, home
economics, and domestic science has
attracted an unusually large number
to the state university.
Word has been received here that
the Burlington school board will give
81 a month increase in salary next
year to each individual teacher who
goes to school six weeks during the
summer This Is said to be in line
with the policy Of school boards in
other parts of the state. The state
legislature passed law which provid.
ed increases in salaries for the holders
of second and third grade certificates
if they attend school in the summer.
