Meanwhile, like impatient school

New England
Plan Protested

| PORTLAND. Me. July a
Opposition to an all-New England
railroad system and approval of
the plan of A. H. Lane, chairman
of the TRANSFORMATION directorate
of the State Chamber of Com
merce and Agricultural League,
for linking up the Maine railroads
with the New York Central and
other trunk lines were voiced by
speakers at the first of a series of
hearings by the committee ap-
pointed by Gov. Percival P. BaX-
ter to obtain the views of Maine
people on the proposed consolida-
ton of New England railroads.
The hearing was not largely at
tended.
Judge Benjamin F. Cleaves, ex-
ecutiVe secretary of the ASSOCIATE
ed Industries Of Maine, in
expressing his opposition TO the
consolidation declared his belief
that if the railroads of Maine
were left alone within the next
five, 10 or Is years they would be
back in as good condition as they
were several years ago. This idea
however was combatted by the
others who participated in the
discussion and who asserted that
the roads must have help. Among
those present was Prof. William
z Ripley of Harvard, who pro-
posed to the Federal Govern
ment the plan for a New England
system.
James c. Cuinac of Bangor,
president of the State Chamber Of
Commerce, said he thought there
was an absolute need for the con-
solidation of the Maine Central
and Bangor and Aroostook Rail
roads. 81 think it is a crime that
we have two roads. that are not
working together" he said.

Good for Candidate Foote

oOOa -
Two years ago when A. w.
Foote of Cornwall, VI, was nomi-
mated and finally elected lieuten-
ant-governor of the ste. The
Homestead was glad express
appreciation of the gro .~g ten
dency to recognize agriculture in
the important offices of the state.
AS our many reader, know, The
Homestead is a strictly non-parti
san publication but it does like to
go out of its way to say a good
word for the cause of agriculture.
Given two candidates of equal abil-
ity and qualifications, one a farm
er and the other a lawyer of any
other profession. The Homestead
will favor the farmer every time
not necessarily from a prejudice
ed standpoint in behalf of agricul-
ture but inbehalf of more pros
porous times for all industries.
This same Northumberland
Foote is now up for governor in
Vermont and is pretty likely to
have strong backing by the grange
and other rural organizations. Mr..
Foote declares there are the same
reasons in Vermont why he should
be elected as there were in Indiana
and Pennslvanis, namely the over
throwing of the so-called old
guard.-New England Homestead.
