STATES RIGHTS ISSUE TO THE FORE.

The recommendation contained in President Hard lngs lateft message to Congress for an amendment to the Federal Constitution abolishng tax exempt securities as embodied in bill introduced in Con has revived the States Rights and lively fight is forecast between the States Rights supporters and proponents of the measure. Notwhstanding the evils arising from the issuance of securities, mostly in the form of State, County and Municipal bonds and these evils are admitted by opponents of the measure it is contonded that the effort if successful will deprive the several commonwealths of a right which is fundamental If such securities subject to the Federal income the terms on which the governmental units issuing the securities may secure money for public purposes virtually under Federal domination.
 There is little question but that the Presidents s proposal gees further in the direction of invasion of States rights than any step taken in recent years which arc full Of instances of aggressive crowding by the Federal Government into the provinces there toiore held sacred to the States. Opponents of the measure argue that the right of the State to borrow money on such terms it peases and to tax it's citizens to pay the principal and interest of these borrowings on It's own terms about as fundamental as anything can be They think that if this goes oy the board there isn't much left and the whole idea Of State boundaries and individual State identity might as well be wiped out
 It is not only in Congress that sentiment is crys- aiizing against the continued encroachment of the Federa Government in fields heretofore considered solely Of concern 10 the individual States Tbisl oncroachment has led to and steadily mounting laxe9 and at the same time resulted in let down in thc ehciency of Federal administration which cannot lunctcn at long range economically as is locally feasible
 Ne" iork. Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine nave declined 10 accept Federal aid provided for in the shepard1Iowner MatorrfJy Act The Iettee Wrlten by the Governor of the mentioned State in declining Federal aid embodies the reasons of ,nI the States refusing and is clear presentation ofl the States rights issue in it's new revived form Hol said in part:

ren. offers to pay back to the State the trivial sum of less than two-thirds of cent for each inhabtant. At the present time S1S000, 900 is annually taken in taxes by the Federal Government from the people of Maine, and less than s1.250,000 is returned to the State in the form of Federal aid. This S1S,000,O 900 of Maine money is paid into the Federal treasury at Washington, large portion being absorbed in heavy ad- aninistration expenses at the Federal capital, and small fraction being returned to the State.
 During the World War the power of the Federal Government over the States of the Union was extended beyond precedent The time now has arrived, however. when our States should be restored to their former status and should guard against further en- eroaehment
 The people of Maine are willing and able 10 for their own mothers and children and l have faith to believe that Maine men and women wil do this rather than accept so-ealled gratuities from a Federal bureau. Already are oyerburdened with Federal interference and control, and our citizens and industries are hampered by Federal in- spectors and other officials from Washington
 In years gone by the State of Maine has not hestated to stand for great principles and il is well for the forty y-four States that have accepted the Sheppard -Towner bill to know that Maine neither asks for nor for the time being accepts Federal aid for it's mothers and children
 There is much sound reasoning in this content ated instances where so-caled Federal aid is cost e country more in taxes than is being return actual service rendered or benefits received.

INCREASE VALUE OF MANURE
Addition % Phosphate viii Give Great
Results on Soils That Have
Been Exhausted.

1t cannot be said that the addition
Of the phosphate will always double
the value Of the manure, but In some
cases It certainly will. On soils that
have become exhausted through long
cropping to grains, or where live stock
has been fed and shipped for many
years, the phosphate will give great
results. This u because such crops
as grain and live stock carry
away large quantities Of phosphorus,
while nothing Is brought back. On
farms where all hay and grain
arc fed and all manure saved. the
phosphate win not give such evident
results You can hardly nnd a farm
today east Of the Mississippi which
does not show q lack Of phosphorus,
unless phosphates have been used free
ly. Thus, while the use Of acid phos-
phate may not, in all cases, double
the value Of manure. It will always
make It more useful. and the plan is,
ON the whole. one Of the best that
can be followed.
