is important to provide for adequate
protection from fire and the ravages
of insect pests and also for the de-
Velopment of a wise and continuous
policy in line with the best prevailing
practice. An essential feature of such
a program Is the complete separation
Of the forestry service from the infiu-
ence of party politics. Every employee
should feel that his retention depends
upon his efficiency, not upon political
influence. l recommend the creation
of non partisan forestry board of five
members whose terms of Office shall
expire annually in rotation. The
members of this board should serve
without pay except for actual and ne
cessary expenses and should be
charged with the duty of directing the
general policy OF the State in the
management and protection of forests.
They should have the power to ap-
point and control the chief forester and
other employees of the service.

for this purpose in the light of the ex-
perience of other states. 1t is be-

petent and contented workmen whose Ia
Dor is adequately rewarded and per-
formed under reasonably comfortable
and safe conditions. The constant gath
ering of industry into larger units tends
to lessen the former intimate and per-
sonal relationship once prevailing between
employer and workman. In the interest
of the whole people the state government
is properly concerned with the conditions
under which industry is conducted.
1t is especially desirable in accordance
with sound public policy that the labor
of women and children be restricted with
in reasonable limits by authority of the
State. Maine began this policy in 1909 by
the enactment of a law limiting the labor
OF women and children to ffty-eight
hours week. The last Legislature WISE
ly advanced further along the same lin.
by passing the so-called Fifty-four Hour
Law. This law was endorsed by the peo-
pie at the September election and has
been in force a little more than two
months. Changes are already proposed
and full trial of the law may disclose
the need Of some amendments, but this
is the peoples law, not only in the usual
sense of being enacted by their chosen
representatives. but also. In this instance,
by virtue of their direct endorsement AT
the polls. No amendment should be made
at this session.

Under any form of government, and
especially in a democracy, it ought to
be a matter of course2that the laws will
be faithfully and honestly enforced by
the properly constituted authorities.
Any contrary policy leads by the way
of notification straight to anarchy and
the ultimate destruction of all govern
ment In the old days kings or ruling
classes made the laws and enforced
them upon the people. AS pioneers in
the art of government we have
magniflcently demonstrated upon this
new continent the right and capacity
of the people to make their own laws.
But unless we can develop a corre-
spending ability to obey our laws after
we have made them, this experiment
in popular government is doomed to
certain failure.
In certain parts of Maine there are
those who, for pecuniary gain, have
persistently and Systematically sought
to violate the so-called Prohibitory
law and the laws against gambling and
kindred vices. We have no feeling of
malice against individuals who
through ignorance or the pressure of
financial need have been drawn into
such unlawful business. They should

the water power of the State should

development of cheap hydro electric
power, not only for manufacturing
plants but for domestic use even in
rural communities and on the farm.
You must prevent the placing of OBJ
stacles in the path of progress and
at the same time guard the peoples in
