OUR RAILROAD PROBLEM

The problem of railroad taxation in
this State, and which the Legislature
Is now called upon to consider, is in
this situation: the committee on tax
alton, 6 to 4, reports favorably bill
to the effect that the railroads shall
not pay for the years 1921 and 1922
a tax in excess Of that which they
paid In 1920. The tax that year
amounted to 81 $4,000. the rate being
s IL per cent on the gross receipts, a
method which has the advantage of
being one that does not permit of
evasion. the gross receipts being
something which cannot be concealed
or manipulated by bookkeeping. and
the rate being higher than that i'm
posed by any other state.
What the majority of this COM
mittee approve is in the nature of an
emergency measure. There is no
possible doubt that the emergency
exists In 1917, the Maine Central
paying a franchise tax of $40 900,
paying six per cent in dividends
could sell its stock at par. Now, when
paying a franchise tax of $796, 900, but
paying no dividents, its stock is SELL
ing around 40 and more than two
thirds Of it is held in Maine.
It Will be recalled that committee
Of citizens was appointed by the
Governor 10 investigate the railroad
conditions. This committee made a
report. At hearing before the COM
mittee ON taxation 1t was asked to
present its views in the form of a
measure. This was done and 1t pro-
vided for reducing the rate from
3 1-2 to I per cent, it appearing the
rate was raised to the 51-2 as an
emergency measure and had not sub
seQuently been reduced as was pro-
posed at the time of the increase. At
this same hearing another bill was
offered making the 1920 tax the limit
for the years 1922 and '2S. This is
the bill which a majority of the tax
alton committee has reported on
favorably in . new draft, which is
the same a. the original except that
it Is made to apply only to the two
years, 1921 and 20. as an emergency,
leaving tho year 1923 to the next
Legislature.
Now comes the question what to do.

pated an income from the railroad
tax somewhat in excess of what this
emergency measure would produce.
Naturally this gives rise to difficulties
Of adjustment. Another obstacle is
the proper sentiment against estab-
fishing anything which might be cited
as precedent for assisting a public
utility to pay dividends. On the
other hand it is urged that this is
but an emergency measure, largely
affecting our own people; that the
emergency has arisen because of no
fault of the management but because
Of a condition which is country wide,
a condition SO serious that the Presi-
dent of the United States is endeavor-
ing to apply relief from the national
government.
The people of Maine are not un-
reasonable. Most of them. we believe,
are capable of comprehending the
situation and disposed to be equit-
able. We have clearer knowledge
than we once had Of the importance
of these public utilities. We place
restrictions on them. and do SO prop
erly. Are We willing to reciprocate
with assistance when the legitimate
need of it has been Enthusiastically
demonstrated? The relief which
would be afforded by this measure
would not be all which must be had IL
the railroad service Of this State is
to be kept where it should be. Labor
must yield something and in the
nature of things will do so. The al
ternatiyes to this relief now being
asked, would be the raising of rates
such that the absolutely necessary
use of the roads would return sufi
clent revenue, or a receivership for
the roads. It is difficult to estimate
the damage from the first alternative,
which would result to our material
interests down here in Maine: and
1t surely would be to the disadvan-
tage of all should receivership be-
come necessary. And if our law
makers conclude that it is wise ia
render some assistance in this emer-
sency 1t need not and certainly
should not be regarded as a precedent
binding on the future.

The Blue Law Blue:


Somewhere in the U. S. A
There stood a gloomy man
Who sang a dismal roundelay,
And this is how it ran:
I've got the blues,
The blue law blues.
I'm bluef than a brewer,
Every time I read the news
That a man who does. on Sunday,
Anything he likes to do,
Is put in Jail on Monday
For month or maybe two.
If cut up any capers,
Such as going for a walk:
If 1 read the Sunday papers
Some old bird will make a squawk.
They've took away my Sunday like
they took away my booze
And left me with those blue law blues
He gave a harsh. hollow moan,
He breathed a fervent curse;
And in a rather gloomier tone
He sang this second verse:
I've got the blues,
The blue law blues.
They're keeping me from sleepin.
Are these Puritanic Prues.
The kitten amt molested
If he news the seventh day,
The birds don't get arrested
When they sing Sunday lay,
But me-on Sunday morning
If 1 dared to even grin,
Without word of warning
Some old gink would run me in.
I'm just about as happy as the lions
in the Zoos
Since 1 have got those blue law blues

A cLEAN-cUT FOREIGN POLICY

Tt will not be questioned that the
right to dispose of the overseas pos
sessions of Germany was acquired
only through the victory of the allied
and associated powers, and it is also
believed that there is no disposition
on the part of the British government
to deny the participation of the
United States. in that victory. 1t
would seem to follow necessarily that
the right accruing to the allied and
associated powers through the com
mon victory is shared by the United
States and that there could be no
valid or effective disposition of the
overseas possessions of Germany, now
under consideration, without the as
sent of the United States. '-Secreta-
~ Hughes note to Great Britain,
similar to those sent France and Italy.
This position assumed by the Hard
ing administration confirms the be-
lief thatsits foreign policy will be
clean-cut and resolute. What Sec
rotary Hughes has to say in his note
to the allies likewise squares with the
facts. Its logic is irresistible. That
we had not sought indemnities does
not warrant the conclusion that this
country had not earned or had re-
hnquished the right to speak respect
ing them. That right has not passed
to the League of Nations or to any
other body. 1t is not for them to say
what shall be done with zap without
consulting US. President Wilson was
not empowered to make concessions
respecting it and his statement under
date Of March 3, 1921, is to the effect
that he never consented to the as
signment of the island of zap to Jap
an. When it is considered that we do
not ask any exclusive rights in that
island, simply privileges held jointly
with the other powers, it is fair to as
sumo such will eventually be granted
The manifest disposition of the 9TH
er powers to ignore the rights of this
country serves as a revelation of a
spirit very unlike our own regarding
the spoils Of war. 1t is being fur
Their manifested in the methods under
which the mandates are being eXer-
cised by those powers. Our position
from the first has been that those
mandates were in the nature of q
trusteeship: that those exercising
them were supposed to do SO for the
welfare of the world at large; that a
mandate gave no one authority to ex-
plot the country over which the man
date was given. A careful reading Of
this note ought to dispel any doubts
our friends, the allies. may have had
as to how those mandates became
possible, and our right to say a wore
respecting them.

Tha Purpla DAWN

There is a time when the day comes on.
When the dusky sky first CLOVIS.
Just an instant known as the purple
dawn
That fades as morning grows.
There is a pause when the day Is done
And all is dim and still,
When across the sky the colorS run
And fash beyond the hill
When that same hue again appears
To vanish as before
And the purple dusk throughout the
years
Trails dawn forevermore.
The purple dawn is the dawn of life,
But the purple dusk is death,
While the hills between are the
heights of strife
That life encompasseth.
When purple dusk overwhelms the
heights.
And darkness rules alone,
Then the stars above are the beacon
lights
That pierce the great unknown.
And in that hour when all shall blend
To form the endless day,
The purple dawn will never end,
But dusk will pass away.
