A son OF MAINE PROTESTS

George Otis Smith, head Of the
United States Geological Survey, Is a
native of Maine. graduate of Maine
college, and possessor of a home in
n Maine town. 1t may therefore, be
said that he speaks as Maine man
when he expresses the opinion that
the Maine law which fofbids the
transmission of hydro-electric energy
over the borders of the State Is not
"even passably honest The state
ment Is made in letter addressed TO
Chairman Charles Il. Quincy OF the
Maine Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Smith refers to the opinion wide
" held IL men versed in the law that
the Maine statute Is unconstitutional,
but that is not the subject of his let
ter. He treats the matter from the
ethical rather than the legal stand
point So presented, 1t involves some
troublesome questions for the Maine
folk.
Mr.. Smith speaks of the Pennsyl-
yania tax on anthracite, which, he
says, he condemns, but he adds that
he cannot grant the privilege of cri-
ticising Pennsylvania to those who be-
pen were Maine deprived of the coal
bidding the expectation of electricity
Is within both her legal and moral
rights. He suggests what might hap
pen were Maine deprived Of the hoal
OF Pennsylvania. If the half million
tons of anthracite failed to flow an
nually into towns and cities of Maine
how long. he asks. would the wood

fuel? And, incidentally. he deals a
blow at that popular fallacy that the
time Is at hand when electricity Will
heat the homes of the land. He says
that were all the rivers of Maine har-
messed and all the electricity used for
heating purposes there would not be
enough of 1t to keep the people warm
during Maine winter even IL they
could pay the bills
Maine people are further told that
there is reason for the claim that they
seek TO monopolize something which
really Is not theirs. ''As God-given
resources whence come the rain, and
snow that fall on our Maine hills and
give birth to our streams?" asks Mr..
Smith. And he makes answer that
the ram CLOUDS are not ali nome
grown. Many of them come from the
West. More than that, rivers like
the Saco and the Androscoggin, on
their upper reaches, are fed by the
rain and snow that fall on New Hamp-
shire areas. Are Maine people then
warranted In refusing the return into
New Hampshire of electric current
derived from New Hampshire? Here,
perhaps, is nice question for debate
In Maine schools and colleges.
But in the present state of public
opinion in Maine, II Is academic ques-
ton. Monopoly of hydro-electric
power Is cardinal principle OF Maine
policy. No governor. has been elect
ed for the past fifteen years without
declaring his faith In 1t. The pre-
sent governor frequently reaffirms al
legiance to It, There Is no present
indication of early change. But the
question raised by son of Maine con-
corning this Maine policy will not
down. Is 1t, indeed. morally defen-
sible ?-Boston Transcript.

Ford cars are turned out by the
million. Each car is governed by
serial number which appears on the
engine. OF course the most of these
engines are shipped to various assem-
bling stations in Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Cambridge and elsewhere the length
and breadth of this country and to
some extent abroad. From this cir
cumstanee It would rarely happen
that one engine bearing the number
next higher than another would get
into the same assembling plant. Most
of the cars received by Holt & Hight,
the Ford local agents. are assembled
in Cambridge, although few of them
come from the assembling plants in
the middle Western cities. Noting
the above 1t would seem almost i'm
possible that two cars with succeed
ing serial nnmlRrs should come to
Skowhegan and we'll nigh out of the
question that they should be found
together in the same shipment to any
Ford station. Only recently. how
ever, in ear shipment to Holt q
Hight, the following engine numbers
occurred:
7,s32,321
7,S32,322
We venture to say that, since time
began, the record was never made Of
incidents of numerical succession like
the above Perhaps IL would he safe
to say that three such cases would
never again come to the attention OF
any one man.

Some ten years ago I was in the

the tracks past the long rows OF pas

I noted that the engine, to my right

the figure 1882. CHANGING to my left
/ was somewhat startled to find that
the next locomotive carried No. 1888
/ thought 1t possible that the number
ing was Intentionally arranged SO
that train No. 1882 would be on the
track at the left of a train bearing
the preceding number. Upon in
quiry / found that such was not the
case. Hundreds of trains are arriv-
ing and departing in this station ev-
cry day each bearing its own num-
Der. There is no thought of giving
them numbers which will put them
in any kind of relation to any other
train or trains. 1t was O pure coin
cidence and one not likely to Otter
occur that these two locomotives. the
oue succeeding the other numerically
should stand side by side.

The only speech in opposition to the

Senator Seeks Probe.
There is to be an inquiry of the
fish and game department, if the po-
sition Of Senator Stubs Of Middlesex
is to be taken as an indication of his
Intentions. The senate some time ago
asked for statement regarding the
finances and the expenditures of the
department, and the receipt of this
did not meet with the views OF the
from Middlesex. He says that
the report received makes no account
ing for the dog tax for the year 1922
and the disbursements of the fund.
He also says the report shows a total
of $2,?S9 for rent for quarters. but it
does not indicate where the quarters
are or if used exclusively for the pur-
poses of. the fish and game commits
sioner.. Senator Stubbs says that the
report fails to give the information
desired under the terms of his resolu-
tion.
Senator Stubbs also calls attention
to the fact that at the close of the
last administration there was q bal
ance of about $4,000, and that at the
end of the fiscal year. June 80, 1928,
there was a balance Of about S11,5OO,
a difference of some $4,000.

ARLINGTON COUNTY
BILL IS FAVORED
Virginia Senate Committee
Approves Broadening
Powers of Supervisors.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


RICHMOND Va, January 31.-The
senate committee on counties, cities
and towns has made a favorable re-
port of Delegate Jesse'S bill regarding
the county of Arlington. The bill
vests the supervisors of counties
abutting cities of $4,000 or more
population with the same rights and
powers that are exercised by councils
i'll cities. The amendment made by
Delegate Jesse Is to extend the pro-
visions of this act SO that it will ap-
ply to counties abutting cities within
or without the state, and the super
visors of Arlington county would be
vested with broad powers in the case,
being an abutting COUNTY to the city
Uf Washington. The bill goes to the
senate calendar today and will come
up tomorrow.
The senate committee has reported
favorably the bill which allows the
county supervisors to have entire
control of the funds derived from
gasoline tax, to distribute aud eX-
pend the same. The bill Stipulatcs
that the money shall be used for
feeder roads but the SUPERVISORS arc
to direct this expenditure.
barron Resolution Defeated.
Tho resolution of Senator Barron
Of Norfolk city, memorialiZing Con-
rress to enact Legislation looking to
the federal government devotinG its
energies % control of importation and
transporting of Intoxicating liquors,
leaving the state free to exercise it's
right to enforce such laws to suit it
self, was defeated overwhelmingly in
the Senate.
Senator Barron made speech in
support of his proposition, holding
that the principal of states rights
was involved. and that the idea OF
having the federal government in
torfere in the enforcement of such
4 law was repugnant. He said that
he is opposed to the Sterling-Towner
educational bill for the sole reason
that he did not want the federal hand
in the affairs of the state in any way.
