Naturalization of the mines some
what along the lines of the Plumb
plan for naturalization Of railroads is
said to be favored by the miners as a
matter of general policy. 1t will not
be presented as a demand, perhaps
because of the lack of cordiality
shown to the Plumb plan. Majorities
of both houses Of Congress oppose
government ownership and nation
alization and insist there will he no
naturalization of railroads, mines.
industries or, anything else. It would
cost the government billions to
finance such schemes at the start and
the cost to the ultimate consumer
would certainly not be less. probably
more than at present.

The Amendments

Although scattering returns are
still to be reported. it is practically
certain that the five constitutional
amendments proposed by the Legis-
lature have been ratified by the peo-
pie. The vote was light. as usual in
a referendum. but the large MAORI
ties. varying from to l on the d.
rect appointment Of National. Guard
officers to to on the highway bond
issue. seem to stamp the approval
Of the electorate on the work Of the
Legislature. H..
F. The amendments for retention of
voting residence and for increasing
the debt limit were scarcely open to
question. They are simply necessary
to bring the constitution Of the State
up to date. Having passed the other
three also. in which certain groups
are more particularly interested. let
Us see to it that they be administered
IN the way best calculated to promote
the welfare Of all of US.
Since we are to have National
Guard officers appointed by govern.
ors. let US hold them strictly to the
merit system and make the Maine
militia second to none.
Since we are to have a State pier
at Portland. let us help to make it the
boon to the State and the incentive
to International trade that we have
been told it would be.
Since we are to have $4,000. 900
more plus Federal aid to spend on
roads. let US insist that We have the
most economical and permanent kind
OF road that can be built.

The Reign Of Law or Of Labor.

The Reign Of Law or Of Labor.
The real issue In the Boston police
strike ID not the comparative wisdom
Of His Honor. Mayor Peters. and
Police Commissioner Curtis in deal
ing with the demands of the police
men. The issue is raised by the de-
mands themselves and Is Of far
reaching importance.
Is the city of Boston and are other
cities all over the United States to be
protected from crime and disorder by
the regularly constituted guardians
and enforcers of the law known as
policemen: or are the people Of these
cities to be at the mercy Of and sub
1ect to the whims Of organized labor?
For. If the police are affiliated with
National labor Organizations. when
ever an industrial strike is in
progress. they will not be the I'M
biased guardians of public interests
they always should be, to command
public respect.
The right of policemen to organize
associations for their mutual welfare
and for social purposes is unoues-
TONED. but the right to pass from the
control and authority of the NUM-
cipal government under which they
are properly public officials. to that OK
the national labor unions. under
which they become falsely a class of
common laborers, is a step toward
treason, which is defined in criminal
Law as AN overt act of betrayal
treachery or breach of allegiance OF
obedience toward the sovereign oil
government
The striking Boston policemen
have shouldered a terrific response
biiity. Sworn custodians Of the lives
and property Of the citizens of that
city. they have abandoned all to the
tender mercy of the thieves and
thugs-in an attempt by brute force
to win point that should have been
settled IN a man to man fashion. 1t
must have been possible for CON-
mon ground to have been found fol
such settlement and it will be to The
lasting discredit Of someone that i,

ferences between the policemen and

person who has through inefnciency
or deliberate intent permitted such a
situation to exist. should be removed

Editorial Comment
Let the Government % Il
providence JournaD


Lest we forget.
The government has managed the
post Office during most of its life, but
only rarely with businesslike success.
In the transportation industry. the
government has brought the railroads
to the verge OF bankruptcy. has para
lyzed the waterways traffic, and has
heaped up an enormous bill Of costs
in the maritime branch. Every pas
senger on a train and every shipper
is having an object lesson, in govern
ment management. today-it is like
being sentenced to fine and costs.
The government controls the stair
of life. as il demonstrated by the re-
duced loaf Of bread and the increased
price Of huckleberry pie. The gov
ernment's control Of coal is still re-
called with shivers and bitterness OF
heart. The government has man.
handled the big corporations and ev-
cry dissolution has been followed by
an increase in the cost Of the product
70 the consumer. or by a lowering OF
the efficiency OF service, or both. -he
government has been in control OF
the telegraph and the telephone for
some time-is there any need to re-
mind the victimized public Of that?
