THE RESULT IN MAINE: IT'S
SIGNIFICANCE


Yes, you've heard the news from
Maine. That isn't the real question.
Do you know what it meansf
Maine is the greatest political
barometer since Vermont went out
Of the political forecasting business.
But after all, Names forecasts are
a good deal like some other prophe-
cies: we have more confidence in
them after the verification than be-
fore.
There is an ancient rule that IL
Maine goes Republican by less than
10000 in September, the Democrats
will carry the country in November.
This year Maine seems to have gone
Republican by about $4,000 in Sep
TENDER.
= To the old 10000 rule, there have
been some distinct exceptions. This
year is an exceptional year, because
it marks the effort to restore the
solidarity Of the regular and Pro-
gressive elements Of the Republican
party. The returns from Maine in
dictate that the very large majority
of Progressives in that State have
returned to their Republican al
legiance, and that If throughout the
country they return in the same pro-
portion, the Republicans will carry
the November election.
It must be considered, further,
that tendency such as is indicated
by the Maine amalgamation Of Pro-
gressives with Republicans, tends to
be continuous. More Progressives
will vote with the Republicans in
other States, because of the influence
of Names demonstration that re-
amalgamation is possible and is
being accomplished.
Now as to the fact that Names
Republican majority, after all, falls
below the 10000 mark. Maine was
voting on State as we'll ~ national
issues. It was electing two Sena-
tors who will have to do exclusively
with national affairs; and 1t was
also voting for governor and leg
islature, that will deal with the
liquor question. The hope of the
Democrats lay largely In two things;
the personal hold Of the President
and the liquor issue. The returns
indicate that the Democrats were q
trifle weaker on State issues than or
national ones, for Governor Curtis
Democrat, was beaten by a larger
majority than either Of the Demo
cratic candidates for the Senate,
Most significant perhaps Of all the
items in the tabulated returns is the
fact that the Republicans elected al
four Congressman. The Republicans
were supposed to be handicapped by
the fact that one candidate for the
Senate was personally weak ant
running against a Democrat who
was personally very strong; like
wise, by the fact that McGillicuddy
Democrat, for Congress, was sup
posed to be very strong. Most Dem
ocrats believed that McGillicudd,
would win. His defeat strongly In
dicates that the next House Of Rep
resentatives is likely to be Republic
/ can. The defeat Of Senator johnson
gives the Republicans one more
gain in their fight for control of tn,
Senate than they had expected. AL
together the outcome, while not de
cisive Of anything. is calculated II
give the Republicans more Of chez
than the Democrats will extrac
from it.

STRAW VOTES INCoNCLUsIVE.

1t ought 10 be possible to estimate fairly
well the probable results of elections by straw
balloting. But the fact that such balloting IS
so often misleading suggests that there are al
ways present men who try to~twist the poll in
the interest of their candidates. If republi-
can says falsely that at the last election he
voted on the other side or if democrat SINH
larly states wrongly his previous vote, mis-
leading report of drift of sentiment is given.
Comparison of the vote of certain group Of
people, as a certain factry, store or college,
with the vote Of the some group at a previous
contest, may not be trustworthy. The per
sonnet may have largely changed since the
previous election. 1t is just as we'll that such
attempts to forecast the future are inconclu-
sive. Were it possible thus to forecast the re-
suit of election, a great block of floaters
would rush to the side that ran ahead on the
straw votes.

PROTECTION WILL BE NEEDED.

The significance of recent editorial article
in the Shoe and Leather Reporter, in which at
tention was called to statistics of shoe imports
from Great Britain was not to be found in the
size of these imports but in the fact that at
time when the British factories are busy on
work for the allied armies they can send any
quantity of goods to the American markets. AS
The Gate City pointed out, today these i'm
ports are small, but the Shoe and Leather Re-
porter asked: eff shoes can be imported from
Great Britain, Canada and other countries I'M
der the extreme conditions prevailing during
the war, what may we expect after peace is re-
stored and the industries of Europe returned to
normal conditions?' It noted the fact that for
the first time in the history of the industry here
leather and shoes put on the free list by
the tariff law now in operation.
Those who seek an answer to this question
may, perhaps, find it in conditions prevailing
in this country after the Underwood bill be-
came law and before the war stimulated ex-
port trade. Then many American shoe fac

There is an impression among
good many Of our people that the
Mississippi Water Power company
was not paying any taxes In Lee coun-
ty aside from the S14c,09e valuation
on the dam, and that was too small.
We agree with them that the 100000
valuation dam value is too small.
and always have, and in time that
matter will be adjusted.
Regarding their other taxes, we
believe the people should know the
truth regarding these matters. Take
for instance the overflow land IN
Green Bay. Prior to the time the
Water Power company acquired this
land 1T was being taxed at from SIC
to $50 per acre valuation 1t Is now
being taxed against the power com
pany at q valuation OF about $35 per
acre. So we think we are safe In
making the assertion that the county
is now receiving double the tax rom
that land that It was when 1t was
owned by private parties.
The power company Is paying taxes
in Lee county on over 100000 worth
of property outside Of what they
are paying on the dam In 1914 the
total amount Of taxes paid by them in
this county was $6,S42.47; in 1915
they paid $9,493.27 into the treasury
Of Lee county. When we get that

that the taxes paid into our county

There is but one right answer to this,
at least pertaining to the clerk of

WOULD BOOM EXPORT TRADE.

Directors of legislation at Washington
missed an attractive opportunity to help busl-
ness when they permitted the Webb bill, winch
had passed the house, to fail in the senate
but it is expected that this measure will be-
come a law early in the next session. The Dill
is approved by men having expert knowledge
of conditions in the foreign trade OF the
United States and there is no reason why any
one should oppose it. It's purpose is to promte
export commerce by removing all doubt as to
the right of firms and corporations to reduce
the cost of their trade activities by establishing
joint selling and buying agencies. Many law
yers believe that this form Of cooperation is
lawful now, but, as long any doubt remains,
many American exporters will be in a less ia
vorable position than that held by their COM
petitors in foreign countries.
