Editorial Comment
Might Help Some
(BanROr Commercially

According to a report made by
the L. :. Geological Survey Maine
holds the rank of fourth among the
states in developed water power,
but this development has not of late
kept pace with similar increase in
some other states. The continued
discussion and controversy over our
water powers and the biennial fight
i'll the legislature have worked
against development. Capital, not
knowing what may be the next step
of the state, has been shy of invest
ment and very naturally. and this
has not only acted to curtail water
power. development but has had a
similar effect upon manufacturing
and and commercial developments
that depend upon water power.
Our people often ask why it is
that the growth of Maine is so slow
and they can find one answer in
the lack of a definite AMI liberal pos
ition regarding water powers. Many
believe that Maine is taking an in
correct position in refusing to allow
hydroelectrC energy to be shipped
from the state and that ultimately
we shall find the field preempted
when the change of view comes, but
casting aside of this phase of the
discussion we shall accomplish
something for Maine when we take
a definite position that will enable
private capital to invest in water
power development without the fear
that the state will step in and take
over their business and when bona
fide plans for development are not
halted by the refusal of the state TO
grant a charter.

THE COSTS OF EDUCATION

The latest bulletin of the National
Education Association contains in
teresting matter. From the data
collected 1t appears that the average
cost of schooling in 1928 was $50,
in the cities of over 100000 $92, in
the cities under 5000, SIS.
1t appears that school attendance
has increased three times as fast as
the population; that the increase in
the cost of education has not kept
pace with the increase in other
costs; that in 1910 one in 100 at
tended school, whereas in 1920 the
number was one in so.
Among conclusions arrived at
from the data is that where in
Vehement in city politics Is not a
necessary condition of membership
on tho board. it is possible to get
high type of public spirited citizen
to serve on the school board; that
greater efficiency is had; that the

cities of more careful budgeting and
accounting of school funds.
Comparison is made between the
salaries paid government employees
in cities of over 100000 and those
paid teachers of similar training
and performing similar work. Where
the first year the federal employe
gets $1,000. the elementary teacher
gets but $1,000: where after eight
years of service the federal employee
receives S27O0 the school teacher re-
ceives $1,000, and yet the federal en-
employe thinks he isn't receiving
sufficient wages and is In a way to
get more. In the high schools the
teacher averages to get $500 the
first year the federal employee of
corresponding training receives
$4,000. In the ninth year the federal
employee Is receiving $4,000 and the
teacher $1,000.
In this connection 1t should be
considered that the school teacher
works fewer months in the year.

A journalistic Opportunity

In spite of the consolidation of

that there is in this community, at
least, a very distinct opportunity
for an entirely new daily pubica-
tion-preferably issuing morning.

place that no existing newspaper is
at all adequately filling, and could
conduct its work with economies so
material over those of any of the
other newspapers as to prove de-
cidedly alluring to capitalists seek
ing profitable investments.
The paper would need no report-
ers, no membership in the Associat-
ed Press, no syndicate features. no
special wires from New York.
Washington, or elsewhere. It's ma
terial would all come in to it with
out charge, and in very complete
abundance. 1t would be nearly all
local, and usually newsy. In fact
not to print the material available
for 1t, on the part of any other
newspapers to-day, is evidence of
their intellectual narrowness and

Being unable to ride to waterville

Why should we expect Maine to de-

This Is q matter that comes right

PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS

OF course Philippine affairs are
,G thrown into the political hopper In
this country and are made bone Of
contention for purposes Of political
capital. The public will make a mis-

The inside story of how Mr. Mill
ken came TO be selected has not vet

position would be acceptable to him
has been kept well under cover.

A newspaper story that Sheriff
Graham might be picked was not

there is authority for stating that

the office, so there was no cause for
anyone becoming excited.
