BAXTER MESSAGE
OUTLINES HIGHWAY
BUILDING PROGRAM

a message from Governor Baxter
outlining highway program for Maine
and suggesting plan as how the high
way money properly could be appor-'
toned. was submitted Thursday morn
ing 10 the Slst Legislatures. Il have
given the matter careful study and be-
lieve that the plan submitted herewith.
il adopted. would do away with much
of the confusion that now exists in the
minds of the public in connection with
the raising and expenditure of the
moncr used by our State Highway Com
mission" the governor stated in his
message.
In order to simplify tho accounting
system. the governor suggests the Gre
alton Of state road fund into which
would be paid all the fees received from
the licensing of automobile drivers
and tho registration Of automobiles, the
proceeds of the road mill tax. the pro-
cccdS of the gasoline tax and the regu-
lar appropriation now ma de for road
purposes. He suggests that all the APP
preparations passed by this Legislature
for road construction, maintenance and
overhead expenses he fixed as definite
sums so all the citizens will under
stand the figures.
In my opinion" the governor says
"thc second class. or State aid road
money should be spent by the State in
the following order of preference:
First, to meet the requirements of the
towns under the general State aid law;
second. to provide for the towns that
come under the five times law: and
third, to meet the requirements of
towns under the three towns act. In
fact. l believe it would be fairer to all
concerned to repeal the five times law
and the three towns act. This. how
ever, rests with the discretion of the
Legislature.
I'm connection with the proposed new
bond iss"e to supplement the $4,000
GOO issue already authorized. if This is
adopted | would limit it to an issue of
$5o00,n00 and would use it to COM
plete the State highway system dur
ing the calendar years 1925 and 1926. I
hesitate to recommend the issuing of
additional bonds. for do not want the
state to he overburdenod with interest
chT"Ces. but additional bonds are prob
ably necessary if the state is to con-
tinue to receive federal aid for roads.
and some provision should be made to
meet the federal requirements for the
years in question. II new bonds are
issued they should he used only to
match federal aid and this could be
provided for in the constitutional
amendment. All bonds should be Sc
rial and provision should be made that
they cannot be reisSued after MATURE
ty."

Representative Winslow said he
had protested" the decision of the
leaders ''in view of the merit of the
bill and in consideration of constant
and positive assurances" that there
would be House action on it. Chair
man Campbell of the rules committee,
explained however. after q conference
with the Republican steering COM
mittee. that the measure had been
laid aside so as to end the filibuster
and get some legislation enacted be-
fore the end of the session. The
Legislative program, badly congested
before the filbuster began, was COM
plicated further today by the pres

and almost destroyed the American
farmer through their policy toward Eu-
