State House Chat

The question of closing the various
departments in the State House on
Monday next, New Years day. is being
agitated, with a difference of opinion
as to the advisability, owing to the
nearness of the opening of the Legis-
lative session. Last year saw a general
closing of the departments on that
day.
Miss Ermina L. Smith. stenographer
in the agricultural department, who
went last week to her home in Eliot
to pass the Christmas holiday. will re-
main for a longer stay than she in
tended, owing to having been stricken
with the measles. Z
Senator Leslie Boynton of Jefferson
was a caller Wednesday at the State
House.
John J. Keegan, judge of the mu-
nicipal court at Bath. was business
visitor Wednesday at the Capitol.
Horace Whitney of Bowdoinham and
NJ. C.. Fitzgerald of Bath, both apple
inspectors in the employ of the agri-
cultural department., were at the office
on Wednesday on business matters.
A State House, runor says that Har-
ry Shorey of Bridgton, formerly head

the budget system in the State of
Maine are feeling certain elation
over the fact that State departments
and State institutions have filed with
the State auditor requests for $14,493,-
900. This does not mean that the
budget proponents are pleased that so
much money Is wanted but rather that
the requests in such huge figures as
they are Is the very best argument
possible to favor the Inauguration of a
new financial system.
The amount of money estimated as
needed by the State departments and
institutions Is the largest on record.
1t is pointed out that if the proposed
budget plan were in operation the
tail as to just how this money would
be expended should it be appropriated.
Under the present system the various
departmental and institutional heads
submit blanket sum as an estimate
of what they need. With the budget
system in operation the proponents of
the plan point out that At would be
necessary for these officials to tell in
the minutest detail for just what pur-
pose the money was to be spent.
Under conditions as they exist to-
day." said Governor ELECT Milliken in
discussing this proposition, "the State
is no better off In the purchasing
power of a dollar than is an individual.
The ordinary citizen at the present
time cannot buy as much for his SAL
ary as he could several years ago. He
accordingly insists that he must have
more money to meet his expenses
That Is the situation in this State; the
State cannot purchase as much for the
same amount of money appropriated
as 1t could 10 or even five years ago.
1t Is evident then that more money
must be secured for the State.
1T is only natural that the appro-
priations for State departments and
institutions should grow larger each
succeeding year. Not only have the
prices of commodities of all kinds and
the cost OF labor increased, but the
needs and demands of the State have
also grown. It is because situation
like this has developed that makes it
essential for the Inauguration of new
system Of financial control. To those
who have looked into the merits of the
budget plan. this method seems to Of
fer an adequate solution of the situa-
ton. It can easily be seen that ap-
propriations aggregating nearly $15,-
000,000 for the coming two years can
not be granted. 1t will be necessary.
to find out just what are the actual
needs of the various departments and
institutions and to make the appro-
priations accordingly. Were the budget
system in effect the Legislature would
be informed even to cents as to the
amount of money actually needed.
They would then be able to act much
more intelligently than under the pres
ent arrangement, and actual needs
would be met much more fairly than
can possibly be done now"
During the past few weeks, Cover
nor elect Milliken has held many in
formal conferences with senator's elect
and representatives -elect from all
parts of the State. The budget system
has been the main topic of discussion
at these sessions and it is evident from
the remarks of the legislators that a
powerful endorsement of the plan will
be in evidence when it is brought up
for discussion.

Public Utilities

( The following matters have been
made public by the Maine Public IT'LL
tiles Commission:
Signals for TuttIe Crossing.
The Public Utilities Commission
Wednesday rendered decision declar-
ing that automatic signals are neces-
sary for the public safety at the Tut
tie Road crossing, SO called, of the
Maine Central Railroad in the town of
Cumberland.
The decision orders the Maine Cen
trail Railroad to install and maintain at
this crossing Brach or Bryant auto
matte signal, audible and visible both
by day and by night whenever any
part of an approaching train is within
$50 feet of the crossing, provided, how
ever. that the company may install in
stead of Brach or Bryant devises any
other automatic device which the COM
mission shall first have approved. The
signal shall be installed on or before
July l, 1917, unless further time is al
lowed for satisfactory cause shown.
The complaint in the case was made
by the selectmen of the town of Cum
berland, and the public utilities COM
mission in their decision says: 1--WE do
not think that we should be warranted
in ordering >the installation of gates.
The first cost would be less, but the
cost of operation would be consider
able. Automatic crossing protection
devices are now sufficiently perfected
to give reasonable protection in situa-
tions like this"

The 1rowntail Moths

The usual annual notice required by
law has been sent to the municipal off,
GERS in all places in Maine included in
the sections reported by the United
States department of agriculture inspec-
tors as infected with the brown-tail
moth that they must remove the nests
or suffer the penalty. The notice also
includes the same warning regarding
the San Jose scale.
Commissioner VIM. T. Guptill says
mat already his department has re-
ceived letters from at least dozen of
these places SO notified. to the effect
mat no infestation now exists there.
This indicates to him that the brown
tail moth situation has very materially
in Maine, due probably both
TO the vigorous campaign waged against
them and to the PARASITES introduced
into the State.

Of Maine caused largely by the in
creased demand for labor. They have
not been Of long duration or very
hazardous to the industry or business
involved. The disturbances have
practically been among the unorgan-
ized. Only a few union strikes have
occurred and they have not been Of
serious nature. Believing that
strikes are a serious menace to indus
trial prosperity. officials Of this de-
partment have endeavored to be in
formed and arrive at the place where
the agitation Is going on within a
short time after it commenced, for
the purpose Of assisting the dissatis-
fed parties to arrange satisfactory
agreement. We are pleased to state
that these efforts have met with mate
rial success in adjusting these trade
difficulties.
"In this connection, we would say
that in the work Of adjustment we
have worked in conjunction and in
cooperation with the State Board of
Arbitration and Cancellation.
'The wage -earners Of Maine have
been employed more continuously at
remunerative wages during the last
two years than ever before. During
the past year the product of many in
dustries Of the state has been re-
strained because full supply Of aabor
could not be obtained. The large
manufacturers have repeatedly in
creased wages which has induced lab
orers employed upon farms and in
smaller industries to seek employ
ment in the large manufacturing CEN
ters. This created a condition which
was embarrassing to the farmers dur
ing the harvest season. They were
obliged to pay a high rate Of wages,
and this inducement in many cases
did not secure the necessary labor to
complete the work in seasonabfe time.
Another class Of employers who
have been and are at the present time
severely disturbed by the stringent
Of the labor market is the
of the state. At the pres
ent time there are jobs for several
thousand men waiting to be filled at
the lumber camps. We are informed
that unless labor is better supplied

CROPS IN WISCONSIN

The September figures compiled in
Washington regarding crop conditions
places the crops in Wisconsin as en-
couraging In August the report was
very discouraging. The extremely
hot and rainless weather made the
outlook bad. Rains in September has
frightened prospects. The next two
weeks will determine the potato crop.
There is much need of rain in the next
two weeks for this crop. In some Of
the newer counties the acreage has
materially increased and in some in
stances doubled, as in Chippewa,
Oneida and Marinette counties. In the
great potato raising counties such as
Portage and Waupaca counties, the
crop has fallen off.
The September forecast brings up
the crops to within Is to 20 per cent
of what it was last year. In num-
Der of products there will be an in
crease.
