Beyond a certain point of taxation
We cannot safely go. The time has
come when the State, like the in
dividual, should strike a trial balance
and determine whether or not it lives
within its income. The tax rate of a
heavily burdened people should con-
stantly be before you, and an earnest
effort should be made to effect a reduc-
tion. Upon you members of the Legis-
lature who control the purse strings
rest these responsibilities. The expend-
iture of the money raised and appro-
priated by you devolves largely upon
the heads of departments and their
assistants, and from them you may
properly demand that Tor each dollar
spent there shall be an adequate re-
turn. Their responsibility equals yours

Mt. katahdin Park

The forests of Maine constitute, with
our waterpowers, the great natural re,
sources Of the State. The waterpowers
in their nature are perpetual, while the
forests may be, and have been, wan
tonly destroyed by wasteful manage
ment and by fire. A century Of state
hood has passed, during which period
the millions of forest acres once pub
licly owned have passed to private
bands. In the heart of the wilderness
of these woods stands Mt. Katahdin,
the greatest monument of nature east
Of the Mississippi River. This noun
tain raises its head aloft unafraid of
the passing storm and is typical of
the rugged character of the people of
Maine. The purchase of this mountain
viii constitute fitting memorial to the
past century and an inspiration to
the new.
Unlike most projects that call for the
expenditure of considerable sum Of
money, this park will prove to be an
asset to the State from which will be

this park will prove safe investment

which will increase in value with the
passing years.
l bring this project to your attention
as one which our late Governor en-
dorsed without reservation. In his in
augural he says:
by sound principles Of public pol
icy, reinforced by party pledge, we are
committed to the establishment of a
State Park and forest reserve, to the
conservation Of our forests, to pro-
gram Of reforestation of cut-over and
burned land, and to the development
of waterpower resources within the
State"
The establishment of this park will
lay the foundation of policy where
by the present generation will deliver
great inheritance to the generations
to come

Water Powers

AS a legislator l advocated the re-
tention of Names water powers for
the benefit of Maine people; opposed
Of these water powers; urged the ap-
pointment of a commission to secure
the facts about them so that they might
be placed before the people; and was
instrumental in attaching a restrictive
amendment to such water power char
tiers as came before the last two Leg
islatures. l also advocated the develop
ment and control by the State of stor-
age reservoirs and basins, which con-
stitute the basis of successful hydro
electric development, and of the un-
developed water powers incident there
to.
The policy Of non-transmission of
hydroelectr energy beyond the State
is supported by an overwhelming
public sentiment, and, insofar as the
State OF Maine is able to do so, this
policy has been safeguarded by law
and by amendment. The Maine Water.
power Commission, in my opinion, in
its recent report, has justified It's crea-
ton and its continuance, as the only
available channel through which the
facts may be properly and impartialfy
put before the people. Should the Fed
eral Government attempt to assume
control over Names water powers
under the Federal Waterpower Act, q
should any water power corporation In
violation Of the laws Of this State, and
in disregard Of the will Of the people,
undertake to transmit the water
powers Of Maine beyond the confines Of
the State, the Attorney General win be
directed to defend the rights and sove
reig16y of the State and to proceed
against the offending corporation.

for constructive action by the present
Legislature, framed. and the Legfsla
ture submitted to our Supreme Judicial
Court, certain water power questions

The work Of the Budget Committee
has proven of value to the Legislature

mended appropriations can be provided
for by 1-mill tax for war purposes,
3-mill tax for schools. 1h-mir tax for
roads, and h-mill for general pur-
poses. total Of mills. 1t should be
understood that in these budget figures
no provision has been made for certain
important measures now before you.
Should you approve these measures
you will need to revise the figures Of
the budget either by increasing the g.
mill tax rate or by making some re-
duction in the appropriations suggest
ed in the budget. 1t is for you to
study these figures, to test their &C.
curacy and to arrive at a wise solu.
tion Of the dificult problem. urge

questions, gave its opinion that the
development by the State Of storage
reservoirs and basins and of the I'M
developed water powers incident there
to would be at variance with the exist
ing provisions of our State ccnstitu-
tions. The State constitution was
adopted in the first instance by the
people of the State, and consequently
is subject to amendment by them. In
view of the Courts opinion, before act
ual development can be undertaken by
the State, it is necessary for the Con
stitution to be amended l believe in
the passage of such an amendment
and urge it's serious consideration upon
you. During the period that such an
amendment is before the people for
deliberation and discussion, the Water
power Commission should continue its
work of investigation.
Maine should not fall back into its
former state of Indifference to this
vital question. Maine must advance.
couraged and property rights must be
respected. 1t need never be feared that
the State Of Maine will take property
or rights from lawful owners without
returning to them lawful compensa-
ton therefor. The obstruction Of
storage reservoirs and basins and the
development Of the undeveloped water
powers incident thereto by the State,
should, in my opinion, be begun under
proper safeguards after present restric-
tions are removed Maine needs the
benefit Of its waterpowers and the need
becomes more pressing as years go by.
My deep interest in this issue contin-
ues, but 1t must of necessity be in an
executive, rather than in a legislative
capacity.

The transportation problem Is be
fore you. Names railroads seek re
lief, and tax concessions are asked of
you. Tax reduction for one, means
an added burden for others. The in
dustrial, economic and agricultural
life Of the State to large extent is
dependent upon adequate transporta-
ton facilities. Throughout the couu
try there is need Of railroad rehabili-
tation. The method of railroad tax
alton now in vogue in our State.
whereby a tax Is levied on gross re-
ceipts, Is considered by many students
Of economy to be unsound. You have
scant time to devote to the solution of
this pressing problem. 1t Is the duty
Of each member to attend the hearings
ON these bills. 1t Is each members
duty to ask questions even though
they be not carefully framed or SCI
entihcally worded. Each earnestly
should attempt to learn the facts.
To the railroads l would say, bring
all the facts at your command. offer
them frankly and openly encourage
those who seek information. avoid
complicated and confused figures of
intricate Bookkeeping, and take the
Eightieth Legislature itno your con-
fidence in every detail. Let each party
to the discussion, those seeking and
those imparting information, recognize
the others point Of view and proceed
calmly to the work in hand, for all
must admit that modern conditions are
complex, and that the burden Of tax
alton must be equally distributed lest
an injustice done to one group, or
favor granted to another, destroy the
balance of good government.
The people of Maine, notwithstand-
ing the now discredited methods Of
railroad Hobbies and railroad domina-
ton Of the years gone by, realize, as
do the railroads themselves, that times
have changed and that the people need
the railroads just as much as the rail-
| roads need the people; and they also
realize that the prosperity of the one
is interviewer with that of the other,
and that mutual confidence is the only

that you be known as a Legislature

arise. After you have left we shall
carry on. Maine occupies a situation
favored beyond that of most OF her

normal long after other states have

settled conditions. Today we face the

dence. May true prosperity soon re-

that all who work receive a fair re-
