will not be lost to the State should the
next Legislature accept it. A similar
amount of maternity and child welfare
work that would result from the use of
this money between the present time
and the opening Of the Legislature will
be undertaken as hereinafter provided
The Sheppard-Towner Bill is to be
attacked in the courts by the Common
wealth of Massachusetts,, and eminent
lawyers are Of the opinion that the
Federal Government has no power over
the states in maternity and child well
fare matters. There also is grave
doubt as to whether or not the Gov
ernor of state has the power to &C
cept the Bill in question, even though
Congress attempts to confer that pow
er upon him. The Governor Of a state
does not derive his authority from the
Federal Government, and Federal Bill
that seeks to confer new powers upon
him is of questionable standing.
There can be no criticism OF the atti-
tude Of those who would have the Gov
ernor accept the Sheppard-Towner Bill,
for their purpose is humanitarian and
unselfsh. 1t is true, however, that re-
form by unconstitutional methods can
not be enduring, and as Chief Justice
Taft, in his recent opinion upon the
Federal Child Labor Law. said. THE
good sought in unconstitutional legis-
lation is an insidious feature, because
it leads citizens and legislators of good
purpose to promote it without thought

Of the serious breach which 1t will
| make in the arc of our covenant, or the
harm which will come from breaking
| recognized standards"
The earnest rublic-spirited women
of the clubs and other organizations in
the State who have endorsed the
Sheppard-Towner Bill sincerely desire
to promote maternity and child welfare
work Had they understood the far
reaching consequences of the Bill and
the principle of Federal Control that
underlies it. many of them probably
would not have given it their endorse
ment.
The existing provisions of the Shep-
pard-Towner Bill are reasonably mod
crate. but it properly may be assumed
that attempts will be made to broaden
it's scope so as to further restrict the
States control over its own affairs. 1t
is apparent that the present Bill is but
an entering wedge for more radical
legislation and Names delegation in
Congress, our Senators and Represen-
tatives, should be urged to resist all
further entertainments upon the states
by the Federal Government. Maine
will loyalty support the Union in all
matters that come under the provisions
Of the Federal Constitution. but the
time has arrived when the people Of
this State will jealousy guard the
rights inherent in them as a Sovereign
people. and will accept the responsible
ties the possession of such rights i'm
poses.

| Council unanimously have advised me
not to accept the Bill IN question.
These Councillors are men Of wide ex-
perience in public matters and l value
their opinions highly. They, as we'll
as myself, have at heart the welfare of
the people Of Maine, and in conjunc-
ton with those who favor the Bill, we
all desire to advance maternity and
child welfare work.
The Councillors and myself believe
that the figures given US on the NOR
tally OF mothers and infants in Maine
show that an emergency exists that
authorizes US TO draw from the State
Contingent Fund sum equal to that
offered the State by the Federal Gov
eminent. This $4,000 will be used in
extending and improving the materni-
ty and child welfare work now being
done under the supervision Of the
State Department of Health. The
Councillors and myself already have
passed the Council order appropriating
this sum. DR.. Kendall. our Health
Commissioner, now has this $4,000 to
spend during the next six months
through the regular channels of his
Department.
The action Of the Governor and Coun-
Gil has maintained the independent
position Of the State. the rights of the
next legislature have not been inter-
fered with. while at the same time a
distinct advantage has been gained for
our maternity and child welfare work.
The States appropriation of $4,000 is
to be spent during the next six-months
period. whereas the $4,000 offered by
the Federal Government was to have
been used for full years work. The
Governor and Council thus have shown
their interest IN the work referred to.
II the time ever comes when Maine
refuses to care for its mothers and
children or lags behind other states in
humanitarian work, as some Southern
states have done in neglecting to enact
proper Child Labor Laws, then II NAV
become necessary for the Federal Cow
eminent to intervene, or at least to
offer advice and assistance. We are
not confronted with this condition at
the present time. and should not en-.
courage the GENERALIZATION Of power in
Washington.
In years gone by the State of Maine
has not hesitated to stand for great
principles and it Is well for the a
states that have accepted the shep-
