They Are Planning "over There"

In his peace time plan. Premier
Lloyd George Of England, has includ-
cd the problem Of housing and. has
given it a place OF initial impor-
lance. One Of the reasons for this
is that England recognizes and .ex-
poets to meet the grave employment
situation. Yet Lloyd George is only
following out a specific recommen-
dation adopted in 1916 by the Joint
committee on labor problems after
the war. which calls for the erection
of Il 100000 new dwellings," and
states that 1.-The 10000 new dwell
ings" should be begun the day after
peace is declared, but should be pro-
ceedcd with. month by month. strict
ly in correspondence with the sup
ply of building trades workmen. 50
as TO leave practically none of them
at any time unemployed.
our premier tells us that the coun-
try will attend to those things with
out any program or suggestions for
regulation faster than the govern
ment can keep up" We presume he
was speaking from the experiences
of the war. for at no time did the
government keep up with the people,
in starring. in preparing, providing.
or prosecuting. Every move of the
wal. lr:tl TO he forced upon the GOV
eminent, because it was 5000 miles
away" or we were too proud to
fight" etc.
But r.ght now, in order that prac-
teal plans of reimbursement may be
considered by the country, business
and welfare organizations ought to
know what the government is NOT
going to do.

Guides for Fish.

Fitpdl III
next seasons activities, our friend
chad OF the kennebec Journal has
been scanning the pages Of the re-
vised edition of the Maine inland
Fish and Game Laws. 1918.
We'd like to help YOU in your
diffio lhtN. Chad, but the only safe way
we know is to follow and maintain
the letter of the law Perhaps Newt
Newkirk may suggest an easier way.
Tor that's his business. what he's paid
for doing. The law says that the only
fish that may be legally fshed for are
those Ahat are accompanied by
guides. There You have it, and You
may take 1t or leave it as YOU please.
Probably this is merely a hint of
what we arc coming to in the near fu-
ture. namely. government ownership
Of Names fishing interests. under
which system every fish turned loose
from the government hatcheries will
be accompanied by a government en-
ploye who will act as mentor and
guide until his charge has reached
the years of discretion. In view OF
brooks last season. this is the only
way by which the Maine trout can be
saved from extinction Biddeford

Deak has added 10 the complexities.
ANYTHING that mentions government
ownership starts us TO thinking of the

Mako Drivers Respensibls


{wateSville Sentinel)
Frank w. Ball. secretary Of state
makes a good suggestion when he
says that every driver Of an auto
mobile should DO made to pass an ex-
animation as to skill ns driver be-
fore being granted = license. Anoth-
or requirement that might be added IL
that every driver Of an automobile
should carry insurance to reimburse
any whom he might damage. Ac-
cidents due to reckless or inexperi-
enced drivers are bound to increase
as the number of automobiles In
crease. Nine times out Of ten the
reckless driver is an irresponsible
person who stands to lose nothing
personally no matter what happens.
II every driver knew he would be
held responsible personally for all
damage caused through fault Of his
there would be less accidents. Re-
sponsible drivers who can pay for
their mistakes are rarely at fault.
Making responsibility direct and
personal is one of the best safe
guards against accidents anywhere.
