ALpHONSO RICHIE.

The death of Alphonso Richie of Lew
iston, the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Elijal
Richie of this city, is one Of the saddest
ever recorded. His life was filled with
happiness and ambition; his past most
honorable and his future very bright
The news of his death Tuesday came
with crushing grief to his relatives and
unusual sorrow to many friends in this
vicinity. He was employed by the Cen
| trail Maine Power Company with head
quarters in Lewiston and was called to
Norway to adjust trouble with a trans
former. The cause of the accident is not
known at present as he was unconscious
when found Physicians were summon
ed and worked three hours over him. The
Public Utilities Commission sent repre-
sentative there and his fiancee, Miss
Louise A. Temple of Lewiston, accompa-
MED by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy
Temple, also went to Norway as soon as
they learned of the accident. He was
born in Monroe, July 20, 1897, the only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Elijah Ritchie, and
eleven years old. After graduating from
the High school in 1914, he enlisted in
the Navy and served four years, leaving
/
electrician After taking nine months
course at the Government College in
New York CITY, his sea duty was on the
! u. S. S. Virginia. For some time he was
Government inspector at Dayton, Ohio,
and while there was critically i'll at the
time of the influenza epidemic. Later he
became meter Inspector with Stone 4
Webster, with headquarters IN Middle
town, Conn. He resigned this position
to enter the same line of work with the
Central Maine Power Company. His faith
fulnesS and bright mind made him an
efficient electrician. In the home life
his boyhood and early manhood was a
source of Joy as he would always listen
to reason and be obedent. He left his
home we'll equipped to be a good man
among men. The announcement of his
engagement to Louise A., the only daugh.
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Temple of
Lewiston was made at Christmas. She
resigned her position in the public

THE 8Oth LEGISLATURES.

This assembly finished its labors last
sunday morning at about three o'clock.
Governor Baxter vetoed fourteen meas
ures AMI eleven of these vetoes were sus
tanned by the Legislature while three
were overruled by two-thirds vote of
the House and Senate. The net result
was that the Governors vetoes saved the
State an expenditure of $375 GA and of
this amount $31O, 900 would have been fix
ed charges We think very large ma
]orlty OF the tax payers of Maine will
say, "Well done, Governor Baxter"
The Legislature vetoed Governor Bax-
ter's hatahdin project and his scheme
for the acquisition of Name WATERFOWL
ers. 10 this we think the people respond
amen, very fervently.
The total appropriations made by the
Legislature are $737, 1876 80, less than the
estimated expenditures made by the Bud
get committee. These figures show that
Ine Legislature, as we'll as the Governor,
ma nao periodical impulses toward economy.
Inc appropriation bills make possible
otate tax rate of five and one half mills
lor 'he ilrst period and six mills for the
year ending June 80, 1923. The rate for
IVY was seven and one-half mills, and
- Ao"o, "oS sCNCu ana one quarter mills,
IN considering the tax rate as fixed by
the Legislature it will interest our read
eers to know that one mill each year
is TO be used fer the purpose of
meeting War Loans as required by law
and another mill is set apart for the High
way Mill Tax, therefore the total tax
rate to cover all State expenses and the
School Fund Tax will be three and one
hait mills for the first period and four
mills for the second. The Legislature
was IN session IA weeks, which is the av-
erage length in recent years. 1t was
good working body of men, and is entitled
10 more credit for economy than is evil
oenced by the figures we have given. A
great many requests for money came be-
lore the Legislature which do not appear
IN the Budget. The committees to which
these requests were referred, after pa
tlent hearing, reported "ou ght not to
pass and that was the end of them. 1t
would be interesting to read list of these
and to know how much State money was
saved by turning them down.
