NOW FOR LEGISLATURES
OPINION

A majority Of the committee having
under consideration the Baxter re-
solve for referring the question of
State ownership of our water powers
to a popular vote have voted in oppo-
sition. It thus stands as their opin-
ion that there is no good reason for
assuming the work and expense ne
cessary for such purpose. Four of
the committee report the measure in
new draft as minority report.
The Legislature is now called upon
to act upon it. In doing so we trust
the members will feel under oblga-
ton to register their own opinions
and not try to evade responsibility by
voting to passing it on to the people,
who have not asked for it. Men ca
pable of sitting in the legislative coun-
ellis should be capable of having and
expressing opinions. Indeed those
who established our form of govern
ment were careful to provide, as a
safeguard in the matter of changing
the constitution. not only for the Lee
gislature to express an opinion but
that two-thirds of the Legislature
must have a like opinion respecting
the need Of a proposed amendment
before submitting the question to
popular vote. The Legislature can
not properly evade this responsibility.

THE PRUNING KNIFE

Yesterday Governor Baxter again
applied the pruning knife and Topped
of three shoots: Resolve in Favor
of the Medical School of Maine." RE
solve in Favor of the President and
Trustees Of Bates College," and IRE
solve in Favor of the Erection OF a
State of Maine Building on the
Grounds of the Eastern States Expo
sition at Springfield, Mass"
While it is difficult II not impossi-
BILE to say with exactness that all
this should have been done, yet we
have no doubt these vetoes will, for
the present at least, meet with pop
ular approval. Governor Baxter's at
titude toward reduction of expenses
has, from the first, received commen-
dation. The public demands economy.
The public's servant who responds to
this demand has a difficult task. Peo-
pie generally understand this, though
not fully realizing the magnitude OF
the undertaking or the disappoint-
ment which must certainly result
therefrom, and there is a general dis
position to stand behind the Governor
in this effort he is making.
Webster defines economy" as
freedom from extravaganza or
waste" That is the kind Of econ
omy which is needed. but hewing to
that line requires skill and steady
hand. Has the line been set too mar
rowly? Relative to that we shall
know more later, but it is fair to pre-
sumo that if it is to be adhered to,
the work of the pruning knife is not
vet done. Even if the tax rate has
been set too low it may help our for
titude in bearing the effect to consid-
er that the. State is being afforded a
demonstration as to what is necessa-
~ and what is not, which will be edi-
flying.
