The present law requiring summer
visitors to pay the full automobile
registration fee after 80 days works
a hardship on the out Of State mo-
torist, and steps should be taken to
make this provision of the statutes
less drastic.
This was the opinion Of speakers
last evening at the Senate chamber
before meeting of the directors of
the Maine Automobile Association,
with State officials interested in the
betterment of highway and motor
vehicle legislation.
Reciprocal Laws in East
Attorney Frank Marshall of the
Maine Association favored new legis-
lation this winter providing full re-
ciprocal laws applicable to the East
ern States at least, whereby motor
lists visiting our State would be al
lowed the same length of stay with
out being obliged to register as that
accorded Maine motorists in their
home States. His point met with
general favor.
Secretary of State Frank w. Ball,
SAID tIlaC ne DelleVeQ, ana ndQ always
felt, that the present 80 day law
works a grave injustice to our
guests. He favors legislation to
correct this condition
Hon. John c. Scates of Westbrook
pointed out that Maine was one of
but eight states in the entire union
that required registration after car
had been in the state 80 days or less.
He favored granting complete recip-
rocity.

The State of Maine will embark

gram in the two coming fiscal years

committee at it's hearing Tuesday.
are granted by the coming Legisla-
lure. State institutions which did
not ask for new buildings, were in
deed exceptions. Overcrowded con-
ditions in these institutions were
dwelt upon by their officials and
many interesting points regarding
the work were brought out.
The session was presided over by
Governor Baxter, chairman of the
committee. The hearing extended
through the day and evening and
another will be held today when the
last of the State departments will
be taken up.
Hear Needs Of Y. Of M.
A large part of the afternoon meet
ing was devoted to a discussion of
the needs of the University of Maine,
which was represented by the presi-
dent, DR.. Clarence c. Little, and Col.
Frederick H. Strickland of Orono
president OF the Board of Trustees
REQUESTS were made for the sum OF
$6S2,735 for the fiscal years 1924
and for $7O4,276 for 1924-25. New
buildings sought for the university
include a girls dormitory at an esti-
mated cost of 100000, dairy build
ing estimated to cost $4,000 and
building for the college of arts and
sciences, the cost Of which was fig
ured at 100000. This total of $420,
600 asked for new construction, is
divided into 100000 for the fiscal
year 1884 and the remainder in
the following year.
In the course of the hearing on
the needs of the University of Maine
a slight argument developed between
Governor Baxter and Col. Strickland
on the question of whether or not
the State had morally guaranteed the
payment of notes to the amount OF
$4,000 which had been negotiated
to cover the deficiency of the Uni
,crsity. DR.. Strickland claimed that

1t was men like Uncle Oliver who built America. There are
not so many of them as there used to be, and maybe that is
the chief thing that is wrong with our country-a lack of men
like Uncle Oliver, who ring as true and clear as a gold coin.

PERMANENT CANADIAN TREATY

Ii is a surprise to most Americans to learn that the
famous Rush Bagot agreement, on which the peaceful re-
cations of Canada and the United States are based, has never
been anything more than a temporary compact arranged BY
diplomatic notes and liable to termination by either country
on six months notice. Premier King has been in Washing.
ton lately, trying to persuade the United States government
to embody this understanding in a permanent treaty.
1t certainly speaks well for The two countries concern

The time has come for the law

voice it's outraged protest at condl-
tons which prevail. jefferson county
in America for major crimes. The
situation is critical. 1t is. in fact.
analogous to that which prevailed
when we entered the war. 1t calls for
stern measures, the united support of

Birmingham is prosperous, and as
widely advertised for its progress as
any city in the south. 1t is the home
of probably the foremost southern
man in public life today. and a great
influence for order and good govern

account, therefore, the representative

for the resolution they have taken to
put an end to the local crime wave and
establish an improved order OF things.

But, difficult as it is, the job must
be undertaken. For. unless the laws
are enforced and lawbreakers punish

This question is above party, sec

root of our institutions. 1t must be

America and Brazil.

We entertain distinguished foreign
visitors "strenuously''- func-
tons. social and other. and rush
them from one to another with speed.
Indeed, our hospitality is widely
known for it's intensiveness and thor
oughness. 1t was Marshal Foch who,
in making preparations for his Ameri.
can tour, said jocosely that he had
put himself on diet, and was sleep
ing longer hours in order to be mt
when he landed. He was fit. had the
time Of his life. as he confessed, stood
the strain with ease. and returned
home in as good shape as when he
left.
We. however. have no monopoly OF
this spirit. Take this from yesterdays
pross story from Rio de Janeiro:
Mr. Hughes last day in Rio de ia
neiro was one of strenuous activity
He was the guest of honor at a lunch
con given by the Brazilian Bar Asso-
citation: then he visited the American n
building and exhibits at the exposi--
ton grounds. under the guidance OF
Comm ssioner General Collier. after
WnlCn he Stlln dTeWell " oi cfs IL
Minister Azevedo Marques. Later he
called at the Cattete Palace to say
good bye to President Epitacio Pes
soa. He boarded the Maryland at !
o'clock.
And, what is more. our Brazilian
friends carry out their strenuous pro-
grams to the greatest pleasure of their
guests. Mr.. Hughes was glad to say
upon leaving that he had fully enjoy
ed every moment of his stay. and was
taking home with him impressions that
would last while he lived.
This is the way to strengthen bonds
between peoples. They have but to
know one another to appreciate one
another. Friendship and good will
exist between America and Brazil: and
this visit of Secretary Hughes. made
in the name of America. will serve to
draw the two countries still more
closely together.

This episode was a characteristic
bit Of "road hoggThg." The flivver

eighteen miles an hour. quite fast
