prehistoric conditions to prove her
argument. Men have developed two
schools of thought about women. One
school maintains, with Byron and

other school descants on their infinite
variety. There is ''hoary idea" that
all women not married, widowed or

moaning their fate. The Wise

commercial and managerial gifts

has especially suffered. Modern life

Corbin goes deeply into the subject
of race suicide, emigration, the effect
of education on the masses, the birth
rate among college men and women.
1T is only the well-born and we'll
bred who are vanishing-the brains
and character of the nation" Until
now the middle class woman has been
oppressed and thwarted. "To-mor-

Confer on Cost of
Building Bridge
Over Dead River

The County Commissioners of SOM
erset county, E. T. Goodrich of
Skowhegan and H. L. Goodrich of
Palmyra, were in consultation with
the State Highway Commission
Wednesday in regard to the recon-
struction Of the bridge between
Bingham and Flagstaff, over Dead
River. This was an adjourned
meeting of the joint boards created
under the provisions of the State and
county Bridge Act.
The joint board received the en-.
gineer's estimates for the reconstruct
ton of this bridge providing for
building this bridge on a new Ioca.
ton. a short distance from the loca-
ton of the old bridge which was
wrecked by wind storm early this
year. 1t was ascertained that the
foundation conditions at or near the
site of the bridge are very different
and will necessitate the driving of
piles and the construction Of new
concrete abutments about "a feet
high above the pile foundations. This
work. together with the appropria-
ton for the building of the bridge
described in accordance with the
specifications Of the State Highway
Commission, is estimated to cost
$4,000.
The meeting adjourned without
taking definite action, with the I'M
derstanding that the county commits
sioners would employ an engineer to
make further survey Of the banks
OF the Dead River within a reason
able distance of the location Of the
old bridge to see if a location could
be found at which the bridge could
be constructed at less cost.

P. u. Commission
Grants Petition of
Aroostook Valley r. r.

Petition of the Aroostook Valley
Railroad Company for the approval of
change of location, has been granted
in a decision just given by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. The deci-
sion says in part:
ION this petition public hearing
was held at the Town Hall in the
town of Washburn on June Is, 1922, at
II o'clock in the forenoon. Notice
of said hearing was proved to have
been given as ordered. At this hear
ing the petitioner was represented by
it's president. A. r. Gould, and the
town of Washburn was represented
by NJ. ]. Stairs, chairman of it's Board
of Selectmen, and by Andrew J. Beck,
Esq, it's attorney. The petitioner de-
sires to make a change Of location in
a portion of its road on the line lead
ing from Pressure Isle to Washburn,
the new location being on that portion
of it's line near to Washburn village
and extending for a distance Of APP
proxmately 2 3-5 miles. Both the
present location which is to be aban-
doned and the proposed new location
are described in detail in the petition
which defines the courses, distances
and boundaries Of both the old and
the new locations. The petition is ac-
companied by map or plan of the
proposed route on an appropriate
scale. with the written approval of
the proposed route and location, as
to streets, roads or ways, of the NUM-
n-
burn, in which said new proposed To-
cation of said railroad is to be con-
structed. The petitioner also filed
with the petition profiles of the line
to be abandoned and the line to be
substituted and also a report and es-
innate prepared by a skillful engineer.
Mr.. E. NJ. Balkham, the company's
engineer. who prepared this report
and estimate, explained it in detail
in the testimony which he gave at the
hearing. The petitioner alleges in it's
petition that it deems the change of
location, as described therein, to be
necessary and expedient, and also that
wherever the proposed change of To-
cation is outside of the limits Of the
streets. roads and ways, the public
service of the corporation would be
thereby better performed.
1T appears from the description
and plan of the proposed new loca-
ton filed with the petition in this
case and from the testimony taken at
the hearing that the proposed new
route will be located upon a private
right of way of the railroad company
except at the points where it crosses
the highway. and that the existing
line will be removed from the high
way which it now follows for a con-
siderable portion of the distance
which is involved III the proposed
change. The testimony shows that
the present location of the railroad
along the highway creates an annoy.

Bonney, State treasurer, in regard to
the taxation of national bang stock:
Hon. William L. Bonney,"
state Treasurer"
Augusta, Maine"
Dear Sir:
Answering your inquiry about the
taxation of National bank stock I
wish to advise that there is no provi-
sion for any exemption whatever, but
the entire capital stocks of the banks
are taxable under the law.
For your further information I
wish to say that each municipality
will have to adopt some plan for
treatment of the benevolent and char
liable institutions within their towns.
Under the law, the bank pays the
State tax on the entire capital stock.
Inc tax on the nonresident holdings
IS then returned to the municipality
where the bank is located. The tax
on the resident holdings is returned
to the towns in which the stock own.
ers are resident.
AT this stage of the proceedings
the municipality has the tax assessed
on all stock belonging to its citizens.
The town or city, no doubt, NAV vote
to remit the taxes to the exempted
persons or corporations. II thew fail
to az 50. the parties entitled to ex-
emption have no way to get It unless
under the act the bank declines to
charge 1t to the stockholders as they
have right to do.
Hoping that this is responsive n
your inquiry. I al,
Very truly yours.

These matters are mentioned to
show that Reformatory work in
Maine has to meet the same set
backs which are met in other states
that have had this class Of institution
much longer. 1t is idle to delude
ourselves with the idea that all wo-

women, and unless they have quite
normal mentality and judgment. and
fairly good dispositions the odds are
against us.
Parole. There ar some encour-
aging cases among the better class
OF women on parole. The absence of
the parole agent at the time of the
inspection does not enable the in
spector to feature this side of the
work at this time. Probably the
paroled women would do even bet
ter than they do if the agent could
give them more of her personal at
tcntion. If parole work is to be car
ried on so extensively there should
be an adequate number of parole
officers so as to give the women all
the attention and encouragement
they need. The work of fitting them
to go back into communities and
lead law abiding lives is very impor-
