Question of Natural Product

This decision of the court was re-
ported in an Associated Press dis
patch Monday night in cases brought
by the states of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania to enjoin West Virginia from
regulating the flow of it's natural gas
across the state lines.
Referring to Maine. the PROPOSE
ton would include the question of
whether electricity is natural
product. The opinion was expressed
| by an Augusta lawyer Tuesday that
electricity is a natural product and
that as Federal decisions lave pre-
viously held that telegraph messages
in transmission are interstate COM
merce, electric power would be held
in the same light and thus the
Maine law would be superseded by
the Federal decision.
While the statutes Of Maine prohibit
the transmission Of electric power be-
yond the limits of the State, in antic-
ipation of such decision as that Just
rendered by the supreme court of the
United States the Maine Legislatures
In recent years have incorporated in
the charters of corporations designed
to produce electricity the stipulation
that power so produced shall not be
transmitted out Of the State. Such
charter provisions would not be affect
ed by the supreme court ruling. 1t is
probable. however. that some Of the
Maine power corporations do not have
such stipulations in their charters, hav-
ing been chartered previous to the
time the State formulated this safe
guarding policy.
Tho anfira -
Maine will bring up many points Of es-
pecial interest to lawyers and also in
teresting to the laymen. The Maine
law bearing on this matter will be
carefully looked into. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Chapter 60. Section /. Revised Stat
utes Of Maine, 1916-Transmission of
electric power beyond limits of state,
prohibited. 1909. c. pa. mo corpor-
alton, unless expressly authorized to
do SO by special act Of the legislature,
shall transmit or convey beyond the
confines Of the state for the purpose
of furnishing power, heat or light. any
electric current generated directly or
indirectly by any water power in this
state: nor sell or furnish, directly or
indirectly, to any person, firm or cor
poration, any electric current so gen.
Grated to be transmitted or conveyed
beyond the confines ofNthe state for
any of such purposes. Nothing in this
section. however. shall prevent any
railroad corporation doing business in
this state from transmitting electric
current, however generated beyond the
confines Of the state for the purpose Of
operating it's road between some point
in this state and any point or points
beyond it's confines; nor shall this Sec
ton apply to any corporation engaged
on the third day Of July, one thousand
nine hundred and nine. I'M conveying
or transmitting electric current beyond
the confines Of the state, or chartered
or empowered so to do. nor effect or
impair any contracts then existing for
the transmission of electric current

Important to All Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them By
enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can
