ed the fourth biennial report of his
department and has furnished a very
full and complete review of the work
of this important branch Of the

numerous comprehensive articles on
the great industries of the State and
a mass Of statistics that will show at

Bangor Railway Complaint

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day received a complaint from citi-
zenS of Hampden against the Bangor
Railway Il Electric Co., relating to
the increase Of fares and zone limit
on the Hampden line. 1t states that
the Bangor Railway & Electric Co.
in its schedule of passenger rates
filed with the commission that the
first fare zone limit is located 3S3
miles in Bangor. the limit being
known as Frost switch.
The complaint alleges that the Ban
gor Railway & Electric Co. is violat-
ing the order of the Public Utilities
Commission by instructing its con-
ductors to insist upon the payment Of
the second fare by passengers at a
point about 500 feet before arriving
at Frost switch, so that passengers
going from Bangor to Frost switch
would pay fare Of IL cents, where
as under the order Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission one fare OF s cents
should be paid. That the same is
true Of passengers getting on at Frost
switch going to Bangor. Two fares
are collected from these passengers,
in violation of the order of the COM
mission.
That this has been called to the at.
tcntion of the Bangor Railway &
Electric CO., who now claim that
Frost switch is located above the
switch which has been designated as
Frost switch for the past five years.
In other words. the Bangor Railway
&: Electric Co. now attempts to fix
Frost switch at a point where it was
located about 5 years ago.

Hallway & Electric Co. are causing

Island Falls Water Rates
The Public Utilities Commission
has issued decision in the matter Of
the Island Falls Water Co., regard.
ing its increase in rates. finding that
the companys rates are unjust, un.
reasonable and inadequate in the fol-
lowing instances: Rates charged for
services as a water company; rates
charged to the inhabitants Of Island
Falls; rates charged for public by.
drants rentals; proposed increase Of
rates for both service and hydrant
rentals.
The company's rate for hydrant
service as filed July 81, 1918 increased
the amount from $500 for the first 20
hydrants and $25 for each additional
hydrant to $4,000 and $50 respectively.
The commission fixes the hydrant
rate to be charged at $4,000 for the
first 20 hydrants and $25 for each
additional one.
The commission says: THE pro-
posed private rates are n in excess
Of the value of the service and will
not pay in the aggregate the cost Of
this part Of the service. including in
that cost fair return on the prop.

To Maine belongs the honor Of inaus-
urating the grand prohibition move
ment whose recent successes have as
founded its advocates as it has dis
mayed its opponents, and in other for
ward movements We are proud that our
State has been a leader. But we must
admit that Maine has been slow to
sense the gravity Of the suffrage issue.
she has been slow to see the justice Of
woman's claim to the ballot, she has
been slow in learning that woman needs
practical training In politics, in order
to render her best service to the COM
munity. Some Of our citizens, the truth
requires tEis reluctant admission, have
been asleep. and hence impervious to
new ideas. Like /; prominent senator In
Washington. they seem to have made
up their minds on this subject % years
ago and to have seen no new light
since. leadership in the victorious
suffrage movement has been seized by
other states. and Maine can only follo--,.
But follow she must and will. She can
not repudiate the platforms Of all our
political parties. Republican. Demo-
cratic. and all the rest, and turn a deaf
ear to the vigorous appeals Of a Demo-
cratic president. reinforced as they are
by the rousing summons OF the Repub-
lican National Committee. when these
bugle calls to action are based. as they
surely ARE based. on both fairness and
justice to women AMI the vital interests
Of the State and the nation. Maine
should delay no longer to join the sis
terhood Of equal suffrage states. This
Legislature Of 1919 should give Maine
her tardy place in the rapidly growing
suffrage procession. and not, by failure
TO pass this bill. force her TO KEEP
ON STANDING STILL and watch the
suffrage procession KEEP ON MARCH.
