Tillemont Thomson, the great Eng
lish engineer, who appears OH the
opening night of the Community Chau-
tauqua, was brought to America by this
organization especially for this tour,
in which he gives his dramatic lecture,
Echoes Of the German Revolution"
He Is head of the British Lecture
League, one of Englands great institu-
tons, and won fame during the war
by his remarkable work in deciphering
the German war plans long before they
were apparent to the Allied military
leaders. While he was at first scoffed
at, the very people who doubted him
later acknowledged that he was right,
for his predictions were borne out by
the actual course Of events. His lee
ture on the German Revolution gives
the same broad minded view on what
we may expect of Germany in future.

The Ten Million Bond Issue.

The fact that many people throughout
the state have an entirely wrong ides
of the proposed s10,000,000 bond issue
for highways and bridges, is being shown
by published interviews and statements,
and in order to correct these impressions
Philip j. Deering, chairman of the State
Highway Commission, was asked TO
make plain statement of the PROPOSE
ton, as the head of the body which has
been dealing with the Federal govern
ment in connection with the National
offer Of funds to the states to help build
a system OF highways. Mr.. Deering has
made several trips to Washington in
connection with the project and also is
familiar with the state situation as well,
SO his statement which Is nothing more
than a simple presentation of facts, will
clear up many of the misunderstanding.
SIN the first place." says Chairman
Deering, "the statement being made
that there is no real sinking fund for the
two million dollars already issued, is
incorrect and absolutely misleading. A
careful perusal of the original bond issue
law for the construction of highways in
Maine will show that the amount is
being taken care of by the automobile
fees and it is being paid for annually
out of them on the serial basis. The
law is very distinct in regard to this.
snow as regards the new issue Of the
ten million dollars. This is to meet
government advances for roads and
bridges. There is already available by
law from the Federal government about
two and one-hslf million dollars, All
that will be issued in bonds of the ten
million dollars will be enough to meet
these appropriations and the State OF
Names credit is so good, that | believe
they can be issued on q four per cent
basis, or at the worst not over four and
one-quarter per cent. Therefore, we
will base our figures on four and one
quarter per cent interest, which will
make an annual interest charge, if all
are issued at once, of S106, 250.
Everyone is aware that we have the
mill tax fund for highways, of which
SS77, 900 can be used for State highway
construction. Now in place of using the
1877, 900 for State highway construction,
we use il for interest and principal
against the bonds issued to meet the
Federal appropriations and we have the
following result: We build five million
dollars worth of roads at an expense of
two and one-half million dollars to the
State and we use the mill tax for interest
and principal. In this way we could
easily pay off the debt In from eight to
ten years time. Or the same could be
extended over longer period if neces-
ssry.
1.-THE whole argument of some of the
opponents seems to be to show that the
State will always have an annual expen-
diture of interest money, and always
will have debt, which is absolutely
wrong and misleading. We simply use
our mill tax fund, which we are going to
use annually anyway, and build our roads
now and have the benefit OF them while
we are paying 1t of. Furthermore,
looked at in the practical light, good
roads are an asset and not a liability"

Petitions bearing the required number
of signatures have been filed at Augusta
under the referendum on two measures
passed by the legislature last winter.
One of these is the resolve rstifying the
prohibitory amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States. There Is seri-
Gus question whether the petition on this
is of any effect, as the United States con-
stitution provides that amendments shall
be ratified by the legislatures OF the
states, and that has already been done.
The other measure. which will be held
up by the referendum petitions, Is the
act giving the presidential suffrage to
women. IL was reported that one or
two other measures we're to be held up,
but in only these two cases did the petit
tions appear within the time limit.
Governor Milliken has submitted to the
Supreme Court the question whether
either Of these is legally subject to
