AuoalcANr-NOr A LAxAIE

had secured its passage offered the State
few weeks later a million dollars for
the Dead River charter. 1t is unjust
to accuse any legislature or any public
official OF having retarded water power
development. If any criticism is war
ranted it should be that too many
charters have given away the peoples
rights without the States having re-
ceived compensation therefor.
"Dog in the Nanger" Policy
A recent newspaper dispatch from
Bangor quoted Hon. Albert r. Dag.
mayor Of that city. as saying that the
State had adopted dog in the man
ger" policy in connection with the
water question. In view Of the fact
that according to my recollection not
single water power or storage charter
ever has been refused by a Legislature
and, with one exception, not one ever
has been disapproved by q Governor,
Mayor Days position Is entirely un-
tenable. There has been q dog in the
manger" policy however. but the cot
porations are the ones that have adopk-
ed it. They persistently have re-
fused to allow the State to undertake
much needed storage development and.
like the dog in the manager. they hold
onto storage possibilities which they
have not used, but which they hope
sometime in the future to use when 1t
suits their convenience and profit.
They say to the State hands off. we
will use this when We want to; you
shall not have it," On the other hand.
the State has given them everything.
The corporations want to keep all
these great privileges for themselves.
and though not wishing to develop
t<,,,, lott oil ;~xA % a.
to it that nobody else shall have tie
right to do so. Mayor Day fails 10
grasp the modern viewpoint for he also
is a gentleman Of the old school. His
dog in the manager reference was notsa
tactful one for it hit the corporations
he sought to defend.
Much propaganda is being broad
casted by the corporations about the
dangers Of public ownership, and they
would have it appear that they are the
only wise managers of business enter
prises. I agree that there are dangers
incident to public ownership, and un-
questionably favor private initiative
unless special circumstances warrant
public control. Where the State owns
water resources of great value tie
State, and not private owners, should
reap the benefit therefrom, either indi-
