WHAT ABOUT NAMES

What about Names electricity:

States?
One Of the latest Associated Press
dispatches received for the journal

a decision Of the court in the cases
to enjoin the state of West Virginia
from regulating or restricting the
dow Of natural gas across State
lines.
In accordance with this decision a
State cannot prohibit or restrict the
expectation of its natural products
In interstate commerce. The lay
man may conclude that electricity is
not a natural product, but we under

cision has decided that telegraph

Editors Letter Box
Approves Governors Use Of Flag

Editor of Kennebec Journal:
Permit me to say a few words on
what seems to be, at the present time.
Judging by what we read in the
Maine press, the unpopular side. A
flag at half mast has always been to
me a symbol of mourning, as is the
wreath or crepe on the door, rather
than an exclusive show Of respect or
honor: an indication of grief on the
part of those bereft of loved one
not merely n tribute to one gone; a
sign that calls for sympathy Of those
who pass by.
In these days. there is danger that
we mistake the symbol for the thing
symboliZed. We sing
There's beautiful flag on the sold
Ter boys grave,
For its light silken texture his life
blood he gave.
but let us remember it is the country
and government, which the flag rep
resents. not the FLAG itself. If our
government stands for justice. hui
mainly, truth and law, then is our
flag worthy of our lives. and our
death if need be. If lack of these wiz
tues prevail, no amount of shouting
for the flag can make us loyal peo-
pie. or q strong nation.
No one can deny that our honored
chief executive has been first and
foremost in every cause, which makes
for the good of his people. He has
used his influence and power to en-
force law for the protection of all. es-
pecially for the weak and helnloss.
He has stood always for the strict en-
forccment of laws, the unpopular as
| we'll as those more popular. Children
and animals have shared his interest
with the great and near great. Should
| not his fellow citizens share his sor-
row and express their sympathy?
/ cannot see how q mother. can con-
meet this incident. in any way. with
,, the death of her dear son. or feel that
in any way his memory has been
sighted. for have we not from Gov.
Baxter down to the humblest citizen.
shown every mark of respect and sor-
row for every soldier boy who gave
his life for. not the flag alone. but
that for which the flag stands? And
not only do we honor those who gave
the last full measure of devotion"
but others. who are still with us.
In these days of fragrant and bold
disobedience to the laws of our State
and Nation, could not some of the
| energy and vim, which this incident
has developed, be better spent in car
rying out the virtues for which the
flag stands? How many of us re as
loyal to our government and laws as
we are to the FLAG?

"The Whole Sam Family"

NbOStOH
Harvey Ferguson tells the story in
| the current issue Of the Nations Bus
| mess. the monthly published by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
| States. BY the presentation Of few
| figures he shows how increasingly at
| tractive is a certain great and grow
| ing profession in the United States in
which almost anyone can find place,
in which salaries are fixed and guar
| teed by law, in which promotion tends
| to become more and more automatic
| and dismissal more and more diff
| fioult.
! Compacted into a paragraph here is
the story. In 1921 there were on I'm
Gle Sans payroll S211 civilian en-
| ployes; in that year the population
whom $4,000 900 must have been gain
! fully employed; thus about one
breadwinner in every 425 would be
" orking for the government. In 1910
| the population had gone up to 17,000.-
600. and the number Of federal en-
/ ployes stood at 23.700. Another score
of years and the figures stood at 81
100000 and 49,200. So they mounted,
the ratio Of employee gains always
showing curve slanting much more
steeply upward than the population
trend. until 1918 when the number of
employees was aver 100000, and on
March 4. 1928. according to compil-
alton made for the President. that
total was 504,77s. Thus in century
fwhile the number of names on the
payrolls has increased 63-fold, the
! population as whole and the num-
Der of breadwinners in the nation has
increased only 12-fold; while the ratio
was one government employee to 425

is one to IS. So that "the federal gov
