In an inspired letter to the
Portland Press an advocate of
State ownership, says:
g corporation appears on
the scene and by Legislative
grant gets the right to build a
dam at the outlet of the lake.
From that moment and for
ever after that corporation
claims the sole and exclusive
right to control the water in
that chain of lakes and ponds.
All the wealth that this water
produces in the form of pow
er goes into the dividends of
that corporation. "
Even if some Legislature in
the past gave away these
rights IS it not time for the
people of today to reacquire
themi Should the actions of
some past Legislature forever
bar the citizens of Maine from
their equitable rights?'
