Maine Versus New England?
-(Boston Transcript


The attitude of the State of Maine
with reference to the bill creating u
Federal power commission clearly
places certain Maine interests in OPP
position to the interests of the rest
of New England. Maine wants the
right to forbid the transmission of
electric power generated in Maine
into other states. Maine also OBJ
jects to legislation which might make
possible the development of Maine
water powers contrary to the wishes
and plans of their present owners.
These and other reasons are, given
for the efforts in which Maine off =
Gals have been active to secure an
amendment to the power bill which
would exempt from control by the
Federal commission the upper reach
cs of the Maine rivers on which are
the water powers developed and un-
developed. Major George c. Danforth,
chief engineer of the Maine Water
Power Commission, in a published
statement says:
Certain outside interests believe
that this bill will nullify our State
laws regarding transmission of cleo
tricity. making it possible to throw
our power into the proposed Atlantic
coast trunk Hne without regard to
either Names laws or Names de-
sires. A further possibility that is
not thoroughly understood is the eff
feet the bill might have on privately
owned undeveloped powers. If the
owner of a site did not believe that
the existing market or his resources
justified immediate development.
there seems to be a possibility that
other individuals or a syndicate from
outside the State. not owning the
property, could obtain a license to
make the development. This looks
suspiciously like a confiscation of
property rights. but it has been stat
ed in Washington. in reply to n
question asked by US, that this can
be done.
The attitude revealed in Major
Danforth's statement Is i'm accord
ance with a fixed Maine policy. More
than ten years ago, when the posi-
bilities of the long distance trans
mission of electric power were first
making an impression upon the pub
lie mind, the cry was raised in Maine
that the State with her magnificent
water powers should not be made a
power station for the benefit of COM
munities beyond her borders. Legis-
lative action to prevent inter- State

Musical Augusta?
If not, why not?

Ii not, why MOI
We are thinking of the city as a
whole. the question having been
asked why Augusta does not have
some kind of civic or community
musical organization. There is no
lack of musical talent in the city.
Indeed our number of good singers is
rather above the average proportion,
and the singing of these singers is
also rather above the average.
The salutary influence of music in
itself and the especial benefits and
advantages of community singing
need no commentary. They have
ben demonstrated time after time.
Some of us who are not soloists
would like an opportunity to sing a
little-not solos-and with the good
singers as q nucleus it ought to be
possible to form musical club that
would be both enjoyable and
profitable.

appeal to you whether he is not the

lowed.
1t is open 10 question whether
these legislative barriers 10 the cleo.
trio current have benefited the State.
Surveys made under the auspices on
the Maine authorities show water
power so abundant that ii would
seem Maine was capable of develop
ing a great surplus of energy. Il Is
obvious that the prosperity of Maine
is interlocked with the prosperity Of
the rest of New England. The New
England states, remote from The
coal fields. are destined to feel IN
constantly increasing degree the need
of cheap and abundant power. Thai
power is found i'll the white coal
of the water powers. The Maine al
titude has been that her own stores
of that power should be kept for her
exclusive use. 1t is an attitude
which puts Maine interests in uppo-
sition to the interests OF other New
England states, regardless of the ad-
vantaSes of policy which would
seek to benefit Maine by increasing

His Lesson

Some days the way appears so dark
That life most useless seems,
1t takes SO long to reach path,
In which the sunshine CLEANS,
That hope will almost fly away,
And leave us in despair,
While life appears so very hard;
And often so unfair.
We wonder. why it thus must be,
And lift our hearts in prayer
Then when we comfort seek. from God
He drives away our care
And sends sweet sunshine in our souls
To bring us brighter days,
And show how sorrows only come
To teach us wiser ways.
