port, represented the citizens of that
town.
1t appears that the crossing in
question is now protected for "A hours
DAILY, three men being employed and
one gate being used. Mr.. Rooney
was of the opinion that a "stop
signal" man would be ample and only
from $50 a. m. to 6 p. m. would be
necessary. The present cost of main
tanning the protection is 1854 a day
or $304410 a year. A 10-hour basis
would cost $3.4S a day; a 11-hour
basis 81 and a 12-hour basis S4.52.
He favored the one stop signal man
over even double gates, his experience
being that people disregarded gates.
Mr.. Rackliffe called attention to
the fact that there were four tracks
at this crossing and considerable
switching done, so that in the season,
teams going to and from the corn
packing shop. across these tracks,
were often held up and delayed.
losing much valuable time. He had
been obliged to go to the station
and ask that something be done to
let the teams through.
He also said that with the single
gate the crossing was dangerous, as
one train would obscure. the view
so people could not see others. He
had seen four engines in the yard
at one time. He agreed with Ir.
Rooney as to the amount of traffic
over the crossing, but thought that
no protection was entirely wrong and
that double gates should be installed.
The matter was taken under adj
visement by the commission.

STATE HOUSE
Mex. meeting Of Governor Friday $50 NJ

I brought to- the attention of every
Maine Guardsman, as we'll as all the
rest of our citizens" said Adjutant
General John A. Hadley. 1T reads
as follows and is worth reading:
1.-THE undertaking of the instruc-
ton being given the National Guard
today, and the undertaking of service
during the war, is not an uncommon
fault among the former officers and
enlisted men joining the Guard to-
day. In sense it is Il loyalty to
their old organization and past serv-
ice which is entirely praiseworthy,
but it is retarding their progress
row and the sooner they put aside
the belief that they learned all that
was to be known about the business
of being a soldier overseas, or I'M the
training camps in the United States,
the better it will be for themselves
and those associated with them in
the National Guard now. Because
the organiza tons in which they hap
pen to be now are not doing
things the way they did during the
war is no indication that what is be-
ing done today is wrong. In fact,
the instruction being given members
OF the Guard is passed on to the
Guardsmen by Regular Army in
structors who are in touch with the
most recent changes in warfare as
worked out by experts, in this coun-
try. Much of the instruction that
was given the men from this country
overseas was borrowed from the
French and English and applicable
only to the conditions that were
faced on the Western Front.
'There are lot of US yet, despite
our war service, who are recruits
when our present fund of inforna-
ton is compared with the facts
about the army game still to be
learned.
} 1.-THE progress in military training
was very seriously delayed after our
great Civil War by reason of the fact
that many people who engaged in
that war were satisfied that every
thing connected with war was known
to them, that no further progress
was possible. We are in great dan
ger of passing through a very SIM
liar condition at the present moment.
Older officers of the army now in
service can testify that progress in
the profession Of arms was seriously
blocked after the Civil War up I'M
til the 90's by reason of a feeling
among the officers who participated
in the Civil War that they could
learn nothing more concerning the
profession of arms. Every effort
should be made to emphasize strong
ly the fact that the military profess
sion is progressing: and, if our citizen
soldiery is to stop at the methods
taught during the great World War,
they will be prepared only for a war
that Is merely history: whereas their
efforts should be concentrated in per-
fecting themselves for the WAR OF
THE FUTURE.
1T is believed this idea should be
emphasized strongly in our citizen
soldiery. without in any way depre-
eating the useful lessons which we
learned during the great World War.
We must not stop but continue our
efforts so as to keep pace with the
military progress of other nations"

New Jersey Going
After Better Laws
For Corporations

Governor Baxter has received a let
ter from Gov. Edwards Of New Jersey
saying that bill has been introduced
IN the National House of Represents
tives by Isaac Bucharach upon the re.
quest Of the Board Of Public Utility
Commissioners Of New Jersey. the OBJ.
ject of the bill being to take away
from federal district and circui,
judges the jurisdiction to fix rates foy
utility corporations DOING only an
intra-state business. The communi-
cation was turned over to Charles E
Quincy, chairman of the Maine Public
Utilities Commission.
I'm New Jersey until recently, we
had supposed as doubtless the people
of our state suppose that the regula-
ton of the rates of the utility corpo-
rations of the state was purely state
function and belonged to the legisla-
tive branch Of the government" says
Gov Edwards in his letter.
THAT there could be such an as
sumption of power by a federal judg
as to a rate for an intra-state utility
was considered impossible, but the
impossible has happened IN New Jer-
sey," continues the letter.
"a federal court has authorized the
utility corporation supplying two
thirds of our population to increase
its rates. This was done. notwith-
standing the fact that our public
utility commission had already grant
ed an increase in rates, to the utility;
that the utility in question had the
right %: appeal to our state courts and
thence, IL desired. to the United States
Supreme Court in any one of which
courts every right that it had would
have been safeguarded.
ut saw fit to repudiaee the estab-
lished procedure for review OF the
commissions decision through the
state courts and resorted to federal
judge with the result above stated.
The evidence before the commission
consisting Of some $4,000 pages was
not admitted and the court decided
that the utility was entitled to in
creased rates after a hearing of sum-
mary character.
will doubtless happen in your state
and every other state. 1 am informed
that the utilities throughout the coun-
try are watching this case in New
Jersey with the intention of following
the example of the utility corpora
ton here in the endeavor to transfer
from the state board and state courts
TO the federal judges the jurisdiction
over rates for state utilities; if that
effort succeeds. in my judgment. state
sovereignty will have been dealt the
most serious blow it has ever received.
May now ask you to lend all the
help you CAP to secure the passage of
this bill Already your public service
commission has been communicated
With regarding the matter by our COM
mission. I would respectfully ask
that you take it up with your repre-
sentatives Ill Congress. The matter IS

that there should be concentrated

legislation.

Oak Hill Students
In Otisfeld Have
An UniQue Idea

The State Educational Department
has been notified that the boys and
girls of Oak Hill school in the town
of Otisfield have worked QUE project
which is unique and original. Under
| the guidance of their teacher, Miss
Edna J. Robinson. a study has been
| made Of their local school conditions
especially of their own schoolhouse
and grounds and a comparison OF
these conditions with standard coun-
| try school arrangements. AS part
| Of the work in arithmetic various
| mea surements have been made and
computations of lighting area. floor
| surface, cubic air space, playground
! space, etc.
Investigation has been made Of the
| reasons for unsatisfactory method OF
heating and the dangers Of lack OF
! ventilation and poor toilet arrange
ments. The ideal arrangements Vi
| this kind have been investigated AMI
! described.
| AS a summary of the project, an at
tractive booklet has been prepared
| purpose of this booklet is to point out
some of the requirements of stand
ard school and. by way of contrast, to
show how far below the standard our
school is
The booklet is illustrated by snap
shots, pictures cut from magazines
and catalogues and set Of espec-
ially attractive drawings made by
Miss Crystal Shackley, a pupil in
Grade 6. On opposite pages are shown

1t is interesting to note that in mat
tiers of school equipment, where the
activities of the school itself have
made possible additions of worth
while material. the contrast is not es-
pecially marked as this little school,
through the efforts Of It's Improvement
League. has made some fine improve
ments in equipment. The Victrola in
use in the school is the property of the
