STATE HOUSE
Next meeting Co Tuesday,

A statement was issued by the
that it believes that it has no choice
but to enforce the law relating to the
registration of trucks from outside the
State as enacted by the legislature and
under no circumstances can it recede
from the position which it has taken.
The commission further states that
there have been many misleading
newspaper stories regarding the Maine
law which went into effect on the first
OF January.
This law provides that no motor
truck. tractor or trailer used for COM
mercial purposes and owned either by
a resident of this State or non
resident thereof. shall be operated
over any ways or bridges except and
until such vehicle is registered and the
registration fee paid as provided by
statute for the registration Of We
hicles with like capacity and character
owned In this State: but registration
and license evidenced by appropriate
plate or tag attached to the vehicle
m7y be issued TO operate it for not ex-
oeed.ng five days in any one year upon
payment of one-fourth Of the fee re-
qaIred for annual registration of such
vehicle. or for not exceeding 10 days,
upon payment of one-third of such an
nlal registration. A nonresident may
az any time apply for and obtain an
rual registration Of such vehicle by
paying the difference between the fee
for such short term registration and
the fee required for its annual regis
trat.on. such vehicle when register ID
s required by this section may be OPP
Grated by persons licensed to operate
Il according to the laws of this or
some other state or territory and may
display their register plates in addi-
ton to the plates of this State as re-
CURED hy the act.

The last legislature designated the
State Highway COMMIT ssion as the
chief enforcement department of all

road. The commission has no reason
TO believe that the members of the
leg stature, in the enactment Of either
Of these provisions. were endeavoring
TO be facetious. 1t does have a right
to believe that the law means just
what IL says. and without entering in
to any discussion Of the merits Of the
law. the commission is OF the opinic n
that II Is just as much its duty to en-
force this statute as II Is to enforce
the act relating to drunken operators
or any other provisions Of the motor
vehicle law.

the statement which has appeared in
several papers to the effect that driv-
ers of out of the State trucks will be
arrested Immediately upon crossing
the border into Maine. AS matter
of fact, not single arrest has been
made by authority of this commission
of an out of the State truck driver on
the charge of operating an unregs-
tered truck. The commission has real
lied that out of the State drivers are
probably ignorant of the fact that the
30-days reciprocity provision, former
~ contained in the Maine law, has
been repealed, and thus far has in
every instance given the nonresident
operator the benefit of the doubt.
THE enforcement officers are in
structed to give to the driver Of every
unregistered cut of the State truck
fair opportunity to take out a Maine
registration, and it is found that these
drivers. whatever they may think of
the law itself. appreciate the courtesy
extended to them by this department.
The commission has extended every
courtesy possible to these drivers and
has even gone so far as to provide
some of its officers with registration
plates SO that the trucks would not be
unnecessarily delayed.
1T is understood that Massachu-
sets requires the owners Of Maine
trucks to take out an annual registra-
ton and requires the driver to take
out a Massachusetts operators or
chauffeur's license. Maine offers the
out of the State truck owners the
choice of a five days registration on
the payment Of one-fourth of the an
nual fee, 10 days registration upon
the payment of one-third of the an
nual fee, or a full time registration.
1T also gives the nonresident an
opportunity to turn back the five or 10
days registration and get credit for
the same on an annual registration
In no case does it require the non
resident to take out either an opera
tors license or a chauffeur's license
provided he holds either, issued by the
state Of his residence.

UNIVERSAL UNDERSTANDING.

The world is great in scientific achieve
ment, successful in commercial and polit-
ical organization, but in spite of the ad-
vance made in every other direction it is
without a common language. 1t is idle
to talk about universal understanding I'M
til there is a universal language which
will serve as bond between all peoples.
Had one language prevailed at the con-
ferences which gave the world the Peace
Treaty, the result in all probability would
have been different. The greatest bar
rier to the peace of the world today is
national rivalry and Jealousy between
nations speaking different tongues. The
tie which binds England to America is
the English language. But for common
language there have been enough dis
putes between these two countries to have
caused dozen wars in the past century.
Instead of resorting to war their differ
ences have always been adjusted AMIGA
liy by the peaceful means of diplomatic
correspondence. Thus the two English
speaking nations of the world have re-
maine, at peace Tor more than one-hun-
dred years.
The English language is spoken by
more people through 1T the world than
all other languages combined. No other
language is so we'll adapted to universal
use. The English language embodies the
L;3t>ry of the growth an development
of all nations and is the composite lang
wv o. re world. 1t may rightly be
called the union of all other languages.
All other means to establish perpetual
PEACE have thus far failed. Is it not pos
s.'.le that this can only be accomplished
bv adopting a universal language which
will bring about universal understanding
and thus remove the last remaining ba--
rier to peaceful intercourse among all
nations?

LION is KILLED BY
KICK OF TEXAS MULE

Ell Paso, Texas, Oct. 10. c..
Elliott, superintendent of United
States public buildings in this dis
trict, arrived in Ell Paso today
from Laredo, Texas, bringing with
him the skull of a female lion
which shows the nasal bone frac-

"a mule on a ranch near Laredo
kicked the lion on the nose" said
Elliott. 1.-THE lion turned on the
mule, killed him and IS goats to
get revenge before the owner of
tie ranch had time to shoot her.
THE mule really kicked in self

Yes; the female of the species
is more deadly than the male"
Ranchmen near Laredo have suf-
fered big losses recently in sheep,

From childhood one is told there is
nothing new under the sum" In large
measure he is told the truth, but not the
whole truth, for the old is frequently
dressed up in new form so as to appear to

dressed up an old fraud so that it looks
like a new speculative opportunity.
The wireless telegraph and telephone
are in their infancy. The radiophone is

somebody makes new discovery which
is heralded as bringing one or the other
to perfection. Immediately the invention
