CentraPs Proposed New Branch

Big delegations from Bangor, HOulton
and towns along the line were present
Tuesday afternoon when the committee
on railroads and expresses gave hear
ing on the two acts, one to amend the
charter of the Eastern Maine Railroad
and the other an act to authorize the
Maine Central Railroad to build a
branch line from Bancroft to the East
ern boundary Of the State.
Sen. Swift of Kennebec presided and
there being no opposition, and both
matters being of a parallel nature, were
considered together.
The Eastern Maine Railroad. the
Maine Central and the Bangor and
Aroostook railroads were represented by
counsel and the Bangor Chamber of
Commerce, the city of Bangor. town of
Houlton and other towns directly to be
benefited by the proposed line or lines
were also heard.
George A. Thompson of Bangor, rep
resenting the Eastern Maine Railroad.

the reasons for asking the Legislature
to extend their charter He said six
years ago the company came before the
Legislature and were granted a charter
from Houlton across to Brewer; that it
had been renewed and S60S00 expended
by the road in making surveys Of their

ufactured in this state did not stop tn.
consumption of liquor.
Through the medium of the supreme
court of the United States,' continued
Mr.. Pattangall Maine can close the door
by stopping the importation Of liquor
You are not obliged to wait for national
prohibition. You can close the door and
stop liquor coming into this State by an
act of this Legislature
Governor Miliken in the last election
received 5000 votes from the Democratic
party. from people who believed that he
is honest and sincere on this prohibition
question You can't keep Maine sober
by removing sheriffs and county attor-
neys, by sending rumsellers to jail or by
prohibiting the circulation of newspapers
containing LIQUOR advertising as long as
you have Canada on one side and New
Hampshire and Massachusetts or the
other side. But you can keep Maine dry
by this act If the people don't want
the kind of prohibition this act would
give they had better stop talking prohibi-
tion. 1t leaves a wide open door when
the word medicinal Is inserted in any
liquor statute but on the other hand you
can't buy liquor legally in Maine for
medicinal purposes. If the door is too
wide open you may close it by additional
legislation.
If there's any politics behind this
bill it is good politics. In my opinion
it is good politics for every Democrat
to vote for this bill as well as every
Republican. Your Republican conVen-
ton passed resolutions endorsing the
Hobson amendment to the Constitution
of the United States which would not
\ ONLY give us national prohibition but
\ which would also prohibit the impor
I tation of liquor into this country. If
! you favor the stopping of liquor COM
/ ing into this country under the pro-
visions of the Hobson amendment why
not stop the importation of liquor into
this State?
If YOU are going to have prohibi-
I ton and want to keep rum out of
J Maine let's try TINS law. Let give IL
a trial. There rever ought to have been
a line up between the two leading
parties on the question of prohibition
! There is an honest attempt by men in
my party 10 give prohibition a trial
and when the men in q minority party
I offer to cooperate with your Governor
in giving real prohibition, you ought
| to accent their offers.

nuence to bring about d condition OF

Both parties should stand behind this
act and put it up to the people for then
consideration
Rev Wilbur F. Berry Of Waterville
one of the secretaries of the Christian
! Civic League of Maine told the com
mittee that he was glad that Mr.. Pat
taneall was on the SIDE Of prohibition
and if this proposed law was what the
public Aantiment in Maine was pre-
pared fer he was not opposed to it.

LEGAL AFFAIRS
Augusta School Board and Court
Stenoeraphers' Salaries

The committee on legal affairs on
Tuesday Afternoon had six matters
scheduled and heard five. three being
heard together
Frank l.. Dutton appeared in favor
of the act to amend the laws Of 1907
relating to the Board Of Education Of
the city of Augusta, stating that the
! bill had been CraWn for and he was
appearing for Samuel c. Manley. a
heavy taxpayer of Augusta, who wish
cd to see the people given change
70 run their Cwn school affairs. Mr..
Dutton STYLED the present form Of
school meetings an old-fashioned dis
triCt meeting" which few attended
and a few did the business, which
might saddle upon the taxpayers a
burden that might cripple the city.
He would have the people have more
control of the school affairs; would
have the women given more to do with
the affairs and having a smaller board,
would have a woman upon it.
Mr.. Dutton admitted in answer to
a question by Senator Merrill, that the
school meetings were open to all, that
it was a persons own fault if he did
not attend and a meeting couldn't
vote cent of money. if they were op-
posed and did attend the meeting, but
claimed it took more than the ordi-
nary school business to arouse the
people to take the interest necessary
to bring out the people as a rule
Representative Frank G. Harrington,
former member of the Augusta
School Board, stated that little inter-
est was shown among the people about
this bill and absolutely no demand
for a change in the school system. A
budget was always prepared and the
voters knew ir advance what was to
he asked at the school meetings. Poll
tics had heen eliminated from the
schools and it was the wish of all the
people to keep them out He had al
ready heard that two members of the
present city council had said thev
would kick out manual training and
domestic science from the schools If
tHeN pct the chance.
Mr.. Dutton having stated that another
school bill relating to Augusta had bee,
introduced to straighten out a blunder
Mr.. harrington stated that the blunder
was clerical one and had been made
by an official Of the city council and not
the school board and that bill was to
take care of anothers mistake
Mr.. Harrington said there was nothing
in the present law to prevent women
serving on the school board and he
thought that some of the wards might
soon elect a woman. In general he con-
sidered the bill proposing a change in the
school system of Augusta a pernicious
act-against the interests Of the parents
and the scholars.
Attorney Ernest L. McLain said the
meetings were well attended and that
politics being out of the school question
in Augusta it was the hope of practical

to construct q line from Orient to the

Maine Central had asked to construct
a parallel line and if the Maine Central
is allowed to parallel their road, the
Eastern road would never be built be
cause it will take away the new pro-

base their claim for the construct ion.

Maine Central allowed to come in and
construct their line. He said the East
ern Maine should be allowed to con-
struct the road and protect the people
who had spent their money. The char
ter runs out in July and he asked the
committee to refuse to grant a char
ter to the Maine Central; that the poo
pie of Bangor had taken q keen in

Maine Central builds its road Bangor

feels they ought to have the Eastern
