WATER POWERS IN Maine

Inc campaign which the advocates of State ownership
OF the water powers of Maine have started assumes:
flkSl That the water powers were in some way
the natural heritage and property Of the
people.
SECOND That private companies have failed in
undertaking to furnish light and power
to the public.
THIRD. That need for the of coal for power
and heating purposes would practically
be eliminated
FOURTH, That the farmers of the State would be
able to have their houses lighted and have
power for domestic and farm uses.
FIFTH, That manufacturing industries would
multiply to the advantage of the State
SIXTH, That all these very desirable results would
be obtained terms advantageous to
the public and at the time profitable
to the State
SEVENTH, That it is charged by the advocates of
State ownership that the owners of the
undeyeoped water powers trust
selfshly retarding development
The purpose of this article and of those which follow is
to show that the claims Of these advocates of State
ship misleading and if not wlfuly deceptive
atng impression which false and therefore dangerous
that these claims based either upon insufficient know
edge of the facts or regardless IF the facts.
1t is proposed to show:
FIRST, That the present owners of the water
powers of the State have acquired them
by legitimate purchase; that many of
these powers owned by the
State: that those which at one time were
owned by the State and sold by it, have
many instances been resold several
times until acquired by the present
SECOND That instead Of retardng development
the owners of the water powers of Maine
have advanced development along the
most progressive lines; that by means of
storage reservoirs the constant power
and the percentage of development of
several of the important rivers of the
State superior to any in the Country.
THIRD, That already there is electric power
available for industries and that
the large Power Companies of the.State
and will supply any self supporting
demand for power.
FOURTH, That if all the undeveoped water pow
in the State developed and used
exclusively to heat dwellings, the power
would be insufficient to heat ne-fourth
of the dwellings in the State.
FIFTH, That were it possible to heat dwell
ings by electric current, the cost to the
consumer would be prohbitve.
SIXTH, That if electric current distributed
generally throughout the farming dis
tricts, that the cost to the State would be
prohibitive.
SEVENTH, That the people of the State will do we'll
to investigate the cost of development
and the opportunity to dispose of the
product of development before commit
ting the State to policy fraught with
many uncertainties.

State Churches to Help
Explain Dry Ratification
Question to Come Before Legis-
laiure VIII Be Discussed
December 20

Some 5000 New York State churches
will on December 20, the Sunday be-
fore the opening of the Legislature in
Albany, give all or part of their time
at one or both services to explaining
the ratification issue as affecting the
nation and the State of New York, ac-
cording to William II. Anderson, state
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League.
The date has been moved ahead from
the last Sunday in January to the last
Sunday in December. At this time the
attitude of Senators and Assemblymen
toward ratification will be discussed.
In answer to criticisms of his plan for
a joint caucus of Republican Senators
and Assemblymen to make ratification
a party measure, Mr.. Anderson said
"The league is entirely content for
the Legislature to ratify some other
way, provided ratification actually goes
through both houses sooner than could
be done by the joint caucus method,
but no other plan, such as separate
caucuses, will answer the purpose UNI
less both houses actually ratify. The
responsibility for failure, if there
should be failure, must rest upon those
who defeat the plan that will insure
ratification"
