HOW WAR BONDS
GO UP IN VALUE
History Of AL Loans for a Gen.
fury Shows That Advance
Has Always Come with
Peace.

Will history repeat itself? That
question is in the minds OF many bond
buyers these days. Records show that
the prices of bonds were way dowr
during war times of the past but soop
after peace was declared advanced
rapidly.
During Napoleonic wars prices OF
English 3 per cent. consols ranged
from 67h, the high and SAY, the low
in 1914 to 96A the high and SAN the
low. in 1924. During the same period
French 5 per cent. rentes rose from
80, the high, in 1914 to 104.S in 1924
They also went as low as As in 1914
French per cent. rentes during the
Franco-Prussian war ranged in price
from 75.1 to S7.3 and sos to S1.1.
United States bonds during the Con.
federate war sold for 95A, the high
and SO, the low, in 1861, but from then
on they had practically steady rise
until 1873, at which time the high was
1291k and the low 111h. The ten.
forty-year bonds, put out in 1864 ad-
vanced from 1882 to 116h in ten
years.
Four series of Liberty Bonds have
been issued and the ffth-to be
known as the Victory Liberty Loan
will soon be offered. These securities
have behind them the mightiest pro-
lection ever devised-the resources
and the pledge and the faith OF one
of the great nations of the world
The investment value of the bonds
can never decrease, for the interest
will always be paid and the bonds
will be redeemed at full face value
at maturity:

attention to the fact that the Federal
government is laying emphasis this
year upon work on highways for re-
turning soldiers who are DISCHARGED
as a means of employment. giving
preference to this class of labor.
Judge Manser stated that he was
firmly Of the opinion that the consti-
tutional debt limit of $4,000 for the
State did not obtain in respect to the
provisions of the act. and he read
Section "A Of Article Of the State
constitution as amended in 1912

claiming that it was the intent of the
Legislature in adopting the amend
ment to make possible legislation I'M

that 1t was the purpose to raise the
money by temporary loans

emergency now existed; that it was
time to take some such step as this.

vide, for use and make possible the

Judge Manser-Yes: there will be

drafting this bill it seemed best to.
only ask for sufficient to match that
which is now available. as it would
provide Tor the completion of pro-
jects now under way and planned for
this year.

State House Chat

Tho opening of the Legislature
brought regret to more or less de-
gree to at least two parties-one the
newspaper men that they would be
obliged to deprive the State House
session, for the Hub of H is used
by the girls between sessions and the
other the girls themselves in the ex-
pection of three long months of cold
lunches. The girls regret was soon
dissipated by the Hubs invitation
to continue using the room and pay
no attention to the newsies. The girls
accepted the invitation and that they
appreciated it was evidenced Tues
DAY morning when the Hub gang
found a sreatbox of delicious
fudge and a box Of fine cigars on
the boss table, labeled ITO You Boys
from Ua Girls" The boys" certainly
appreciate the contribution-the
fudge has gone the usual way and
the cigars are following suit.
The Hub Of H crowd was very
pleasantly entertained Monday evening
in the Hub by one of the gang. sam
r. Conner. who brought over hi.
Magic lantern and showed about 100
views of Washington and vicinity. Civ.
ing talk with each view. The pic
lures were all taken by Sam and thus
an added personal touch of interest
was given. Many were Of unusual
places and also unusual views Of som.
familiar object. such as the Capitol ami
the many department buildings. The
exhibition lasted about an hour and a.
its close a hearty. unanimous vote of
thanks was extended-the other MEM
bers OF the gang forcing Sam to tote
for its adoption.

Veto No. Nine

Veto No. was on TUESDAY. March
rs sent to the Maine Legislature by
Governor Carl l.. Milliken, L e mes
sage being sent to the House, because
there originated the resolve which
met with the Governors d.sapproyaL
House Document No. 324. resolve in
favor of the trustees of Hartland
Academy for State aid for agricultu-
raj instruction for the years 1917 and
1918. Wednesday was assigned for
its consideration. The message;
To the Honorable House of Repre-
Sentatives:
have carefully examined House
Document No. 324 Resolve, in favor
of the trustees of Hartland Academy
for State aid for agricultural instruc-
ton for the years 1917 and 1918" and
respectfully return the same herewith,
without my approval.
This resolve appropriates for this
academy the sum Of $500 as reim-
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1919-03-26

burSement for the amount which the
academy failed to receive in the years
1917 and 1916 because the attendance
in its course in agriculture fell below
the standard required by law.
The amount of this particular re-
| solve is not large, but its considera-
ton involves the whole method OF
extending State aid to secondary
schools.
The law requires the maintenance
of a certain minimum attendance in
an agricultural course in order to
entltlc the academy to special State
aid for that course. To make an APP
preparation in one special instance
where this aid was not earned in the
last two years would be evidently un-
tar to dozen or more secondary
schools which lost their appropria-
tons through failure to meet the re-
quirementS and which made no claim
for reimbursement.
l find. moreover. that Hartland
Academy was granted a special ap-
preparation of $1,000 for each of the
years 1917 and 1918 over and above
all the amounts provided by law, and
that in filing their requests with the
State auditor before Nov. 10, 1918, the
trustees asked only for the continu-
ance of this appropriation through
1919 and 1920. The blanket resolve
for aid in maintenance Of academies
carries an appropriation of $3.50 for
each of the years 1919 and 1920 for
Hartland Academy, or $3.50 year be-
yond the amount asked for. Now this
special appropriation Of $500 is asked
in addition.
Theoretically the State furnished
aid to High schools and academies
in proportion to the contribution
which each of them is making to the
educational program of the State, and
while the amount Of aid per capita
on the basis of average attendance is
not the only basis for comparison it
is one of the important factors to be
considered. With the amounts pro-
vlded in the blanket resolve above
referred to, the State aid from all
sources for 1919 for each of the acad-
emies named in the resolve will be
approximately as follows for each
pupil in attendance:
Hartland Academy. $74; Freedom
Academy, SOS; Leavitt Institute 500;
Arson Academy, $62; East CORN, h
Academy. ISL: Litchfield Academy
1858: Oak Grove Seminary, SIS: Cree
~ Institute. $56; Limerick Academy.
SIS; No. Yarmouth Academy, 81;
Eastern Maine Institute. $50; Lee
Academy. SAC; Higgins Classical In
stitutc. SAB; Westbrook Seminary.

S3S; Limington Academy, s36; St. Jo-
seph's Academy. s34: Monmouth
Academ.'. 1913: Somerset Academy.
$50: Gould's Academy, $26; Aroostook
Central Institute. $23; Maine Central
Institute, $40
Inc average State aid for all High
schools in the State is about 1890
annually per pupil in attendance and
the average annual total cost Of main
tenance for all the High schools in
the State is $53.13 per pupil in At
tendance.
Therefore. in view OF the fact that
without this special resolve Hartland
Academy will still receive more State
