president Coolidge is right in his
desire to have the states once again

of the governmental activities hereto

through the Maine Internal Revenue
office at Augusta, from income and

Repairs Made Not
Conducive to
Rate Increase

A decision was rendered Friday by
the public utilities commission disal-
lowing an increase in rates asked for
by the Liberty Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company. The increase asked
for was from So. to $3.75 per quarter
year for more than two-party line.
''The comparatively large amount
which the company has annually ex-
pended in repairs does not apear to
be reflected either in the present. phys
ical condition or the present value of
the company's property" says the de-
cision of the public utilities commits
sion.
1T appears from our engineers re-
port, as well as from some of the evil
dence given at the hearing. that some
OF the repairs that have been made
have been Of a temporary nature,
made for the purpose Of restoring in
terrupted service, and not such as
conduce to the efficient and econom-
ical operation of the company" con-
tinues the decision.
Instances are cited where poles
have been left lying upon the ground
for a long period of time, and of a
new piece of line left incompleted.
While the character of the service
given is not made the subject of any
special complaint in this case, it did
appear that in some instances, at
least, the service had been Interrupt
ted at times by reason of the poor
physical condition of some of the
lines.
1--WE believe that a more attentive
oversight of the repair work on the
part of the company's management
will result in a very material reduc-
.. ton in it's operating costs and in
more value received for the money
that is actually spent for repairs and
placements.
"The volume of business Is such
and the territory to be covered is SC
great, that apparently more actual
! oversight of the various activities OF
the company, and especially of the re-
pair, Replacement and extension
work is required, on the part of the
! management.
1--WE believe that any additional ex-
pense of operation thus incurred
would be largely offset by the eco
Monies thot could be affected. But
if more revenue be reasonably re-
quired, on this account and the re-
sulting improved service justify It,
neither the commission nor the rate
| payers would be likely to oppose 1t.
The transfer to the proper capital ac-
counts of the amounts heretofore eX-
pended for renewals and additions to
property, which are properly capital
| expenditures and which have hereto
fore been charged to repairs, and
| which should be financed by the COM
pany itself and not by the rate pay
ers, must also, in our opinion, to fur
Their reduce the operating expenses.
"The company has not, in our
| opinion, shown by sufficient evidence
as required by the statute, the neces-
sity for additional revenue. and we dc
not at the present time feel justified
! in allowing the increased rates pro-
posed by the company. If the result
Of the company's operation, after all
reasonable economies in management
and operation shall have been made
indicates that additional revenue is
required, the commission, upon appli-
! cation of the company, will give this
matter further consideration"

Governor Baxter
Approves State
Control Functions

President Coolidge is quoted as
having made the statement that the
states once again should assume au-
thority over many of the government
al functions that in recent years have
been surrendered to the Federal Gov
eminent. 1t is proposed to present
this matter to the Governors Confer
ence to be held in Indiana late in
October Of the present year.
Governor Baxter always has been a
strong advocate of this principle, and
whenever the matter has been pre-
scented to the presnt administration,
such as in the case of the Sheppard
Towner Maternity Bill, the state of
Maine has taken a decided stand.
Governor Baxter said Friday, IF the
Federal Government is to place some
of it's responsibilities on the state
governments. it should also reduce
the taxes which it now levies upon

CHESTER AGREEMENT
 TOPIC AT LAUSANNE
Even Turks Speculate As To Back
 CTS Of Admiral Chester

LAUSANNE, April 29.-(By Asso- ciated Press)-The Chester conces- sion was the foremost topic of dis cussion today among the delegates to the Near East conference. The members of all the delegations Tn = cIuding the Turks. frequently asked. What American financial interests are backing Read Admiral Chester" and speculated on the attitude of the American government toward this concession.
 If the French, as seems probable. make fight in Turkey to maintain their 1914 railroad concession. the Chester representatives must be ready to defend their grant. as the last paragraph of the famous Article 94 of the draft treaty, it is asserted, would nullify it. This article pro- vides that all legislative provisions since 1914 which are inconsistent with the rights referred to in the article are null and void. The ar ticle also protests the French rail- road concession with which the Ches- ter grant conflicts.
 The first week of the conference has brought considerable progress; the territorial section of the treaty has practically been agreed upon ex- cept the boundary of Eastern Thrace. which 1t Is expected, will be easily adjusted.
 The Turks are credited with show ing a conciiiatory spirit on the whole.

TUBERCULOSIS TEAMS TO REDOUBLE EFFORTS
Subscriptions From Suburban Com
 munities Expected This Week

with approXlmate1y $1I6,OO0 in gifts and subscriptions in sight, teams in the $20O.000 tuberculosis campaign are to enter the field Mon day morning with renewed determi- nation to reach their goal. General Chairman R. "A Brown declared Sun day night. Substantial contributions are expected to roll in during the week, and indication are that the campaign will close by Wednesday or Thursday.
 Suburban communities are ex- pected to take the field in an offen1 siye expected to net several thousand dollars toward the fund. Fairfield. Bessemer and Ensley all report fa- -vorable prospects for the campaign. and their contributions will probably swell the general total considerably.
 The women's division is to exert further efforts during the first part of this week. and wiltsbe more active than any time last week, when they were held in reserve for the wind-up .f the campaign. Mrs. H. E. Pearce reported Monday night that subscrip- ttions obtained by the women to- tailed in the proximity of $3,00O. and that available sources indicated sub srr.etipns close to $6,000 by the women when the final results were tallied.
