beyond the control of

circumstances beyond the control OF
our local dealers.
THE State authorities will do any
thing they can, but rail freights. the
steamboat and barge freights and
the cost Of mining of coal. including
the Pennsylvania tax, are all mat
tiers entirely beyond our jurisdiction.
The Federal government and the
state of Pennsylvania are the only
agencies that really can 60 to the
root of this question and give the
people the protection and the infor-
nation to which they are entitled.
There certainly should not be any
increase in the price of coal to the
consumer. In my opinion Pennsyl-
vania would do well to repeal its
coal tax and l believe the operators
and coal railroads could very well
absorb the entire increase Of wages
and thus protect the public. We
shall. however, be fortunate if these
monopolists. under pretext of in
creased wages. do not add on an
even greater profit than they have
had before. The general public Is
entitled to know what profits are
charged all along the line from the
mine to the stove"

Constitution Week
Should Be Marked
Serious Attention

Josiah w. Taylor, state agent for
secondary education, Tuesday sent
out a letter saying that National
Constitution Week under the direc-
ton of the American Bar Associa-
ton should be marked by the serious
attention of every high school and
academy principal and teacher OF
history and clvicS throughout the
state and nation.
1.-THE sane and valuable program
which the association has set up
and distributed very widely might
we'll be followed by every school ana
throughout the entire week." con-
tinues Mr.. Taylor in his communi-
cation.
"The high school is the training
camp of democracy. The result OF
four years of high school life should
send our young men and women out
into the new tasks with mastery
of the backgrounds of national his
tory, with clear understanding OF the
principles Of democratic government
and with an appreciation OF INC
greatness of the constitution upon
which the republic has been built:
81 earnestly hope that every school
in the state will undertake to carry
out as fully as possible the plans
suggested by Commissioner Thomas
in a general letter to teachers on the
more detailed recommendation Of the
Amrican Bar Association.
at will be of great significance IN
the establishment of stronger morale
and right attitude toward school ana
community life. If the great princi-
pies of democracy can be effectively
taught in these carry days Of the
school year 1t Is an opportunity
which should not be neglected: IL
is an undertaking that should ne
welcomed by teachers and supported
by every citizen"

Will Immediately
Replace Old State
Prison Buildings

Gov. Baxter sad Tuesday that plans
are already under way to replace the
old structures of the Maine States
prison at Thomaston. which were
burned last Saturday. with modern
fire-proof buildings and equipment.
Careful estimates as to the cost are
now being made, but the plan of fin
ancing will not be determined upon
until the next meeting of the execu-
tive council.
Prison labor will be used wherever
it is available under proper super
vision which will materially reduce
the cost of the new buildings.
The newspaper estimates of the
loss by the fire are probably from 40
to so per cent. in excess of the actual
figures.
The prisoners arc hauling away the
debris, clearing and pilng the bricks
and getting ready for actual con-
struction.
1t is hoped to get the buildings I'M
der way before cold weather.

B. & A. r. r. to
Refund Part Charge

The public utilities commission
after consider ction of a claim by the
Allen Quimby Company Of Stock
holm, has ordered that the Bangor
and Aroostook r. r. Co., refund
sum of $7S.71 to the claimant on
charge for the transportation OF
sand. The sand was carried from
the Milo Pit to Stockholm by the
B. & A. r. r. August .. 1928. the
charge being based On the M. 2. y,
c. rating of 80 IL cents per 100
pounds. On September 4, 1928,
commodity rating of 16 cents per 100
pounds went into effect. The rail-
road company admitted that the rate
lawfully applicable at the time OF
the shipment was excessive and un-
reasonable and asked permission for
authority to adjust the transporta-
ton charge on the 16 cent rate.

Decision Given
on Death of
North Arson Man

The public utilities commission
has handed down the following de-
cision regarding the Androscoggin
Electric Company. accident at New
Gloucester on July IS at about ~
A. NJ which resulted IN the death
of Harold NJ. Fish. age 80, of North
Arson.
1t appears that Mr.. Fish. who was
a contractor for a section OF the
State Highway at New Glouceter
was driving along what is known as
the Rangeway road from n gravel
pit near where the crew was at work
on the State road. Bushes and
trees along the Rangeway road OBJ
structed the view of the mOtorman
on the Androscoggin Electric Com
pany car, and that of Mr.. Fish so
that he was not aware that the car
was coming until within about thirty
feet of the crossing. When the mo-
torman saw the auto approaching he
Immediately threw on the emergency
brake and blew the whistle. the car
did not stop until nearly LAG feet be-
yond the crossing. striking the auto
mobile and dragging it along the
track for this distance. Mr. Fish
was thrown from the car and re-
ceived injuries from which he died
some time later.

a proper supply Of anthracite. The
question now is, what price will our
citizens be forced to pay for this
fuel. l believe the settlement of the
strike was timely, for mining will
be resumed at once, and in the near
future the Fact Finding Coal Com
mission of the Federal government
intends to give the public full infor-
nation in regard to mining and
transportation costs.
The anthracite industry, although
private one, has some features of
a public service enterprise, and
therefore should be subject to what
ever governmental regulation is nee
essary, for our citizens are absolute
ly dependent upon fuel for health
and happiness. II the public is talk
en- into the confidence OF the miners
and operators and is shown just
what tair costs and fair profits are,
it will be wiling to pay them. Up
to the present time the public has
deliberately been kept in the dark
as to these facts, and has been
forced to pay ever increasing prices.
Maine has profiteering law, but
it has not yet been invoked to any
considerable extent. The public is
entitled to full information and il
any is obtained by me shall imme-
diately give our citizens the benefit
of it. Our people are not satisfied
with the anthracite situation and it
is almost impossible to obtain accur-
ate, impartial Information, for both
sides, the miners, the operators and
the operating railroads SO complete
ly control the situation and the
sources of information that the pub
lie almost seems helpless. This often
is SO in many public matters and
is the cause of unrest and discon-
tent. / believe the people should be
given more light SO that they can
understand.
Last year two of the large Port
land coal dealers made significant
statements in regard to what was
fair charge for reasonable profit
and for cost of delivery.
"At hearing in Augusta on Au-
gust 20, 1922. the representatives of
the largest coal dealers in Portland
stated that they considered it fair
to charge 1925 per ton over and
above the alongside cost of coal.
Most of the anthracite comes to
Maine in barges and the price of
the coal Is fixed at the wharves in
Portland, which is called the along
side price. To this the Portland
coal dealers stated they add 35c per
ton for discharging the coal from
the vessel to the coal pocket, $1.25
per ton to cover percent shortage
or loss and the cost Of carting. and
Csc per ton to cover fair profit and
other expenses. From this it will be
seen If the actual price alongside can
be obtained 1t is not difficult to fig
ure what the coal should cost local
consumers. In places where there is
no water transportation. rail freight
from Portland to destination must
be added as well as the profit of
the local dealer. Maine coal deal
ers, however, to a large extent. are
subject to the will Of the mine own
ers and railroad owning coal COM
panies, all of these being monopoles.
