Today the Seth
Anniversary of Big
Hve-Day Blizzard

A local subscriber called the Office
yesterday asking IL the Journal re-
called the fact that March 10Th was
the Both anniversary of the biggest
storm on record in New England for
many years.
He said he walked through the
woods on snowshoes that day from
Moosehead Lake to The Forks, and
although had been in the woods
many times when there was a storm,
never saw SO many trees blown
down. The dirt blown from the
trees gave the snow a greyish color
and the wind. although it was SO,
cold, packed the snow so hard that
five days later he had seen loaded
logging sleds hauled over seven feet
OF snow without any need of
shoveling. The teams were tied up
In the logging camps during the five
days OF the storm, something I'M
precedented In the Maine woods.
Turning back to the files of the
Journal one finds reports of farmers
suffering in Massachusetts. At one
time New England was cut off from
New York except by cable to Lon
don and by water. and drifts fifteen
feet high were reported. 1t is said
the wind blew from one quarter for
two days and then blew two days
from another quarter.
1t was in this storm that Roscoe
Conklin in endeavoring to 60
through the streets of New York
from his Office to his home suffered
SO from the exposure that he died
the following 18th Of April.
Another business man here recalls
the storm in Biddeford, that it came
on election day and that it was the
worst time for getting out the voters
he ever saw. Turning to the Jour-
nal files the report of that election
bears these headlines: Democrats
Carry Biddeford But the Republic
cans Make Great Gains" Can 1t be
the Republicans had more courage
in facing the elements. or voted
early? The Journal informant didn't
reveal. If he recalled. 1t Is more
than likely he had forgotten all
about that part of 1t. Some of these
political battles don't linger so long
in the mind as the battles with the
elements when their fury is looscd.

worth, Republican leader. argued
that, as a unanimous consent agree
nlent would be necessary to get the
resolution before the house for ac-
ton, q previous effort to kill the pro-
vision entirely as carried in the rev.
enue bill appeared to foreclose any
possibility of obtaining such an
agreement.
The message of the president was
! not read to the house until late in the
day, after disposition of the Daugh-
| erty resolution. and the house adj
journed without considering 1t on the
floor
In his message President Coolidge
said:
1T has been my earnest hope that
25 per centum reduction In taxes
to be paid for the current year might
be provided by law before the 18th
of March current.
MANY people have been expecting
that such would be the case and de-
ferred their tax returns accordingly.
1t is matter of such imminent i'm
portance that have no hesitation in
recommending that the public well
fare would be much advanced by
temporarily laying aside all other
legislation and enacting n resolution
for this purpose, which ought to be
by unanimous consent.
1.-THE tax payers, the business in
terests, agriculture, industry, finance,
in fact all the elements that go to
make up the economic welfare of the
people of America would greatly be
benefited by such action.
TT would remove an element Of
uncertainty from the current financial
year at once which would be a strong
stimulant to business with its re-
sultant benefit to the wage Garner
and the agriculture of our country.
1T Is impossible to see that any
harm could accrue from this action
and there is every prospect of result
ing benefits which would be very
great.
TT would be q positive step in the
right direction which is more needed
at this time to justify the confidence
of the people that the government is
intent solely on the promotion of the
public welfare without regard to any
collateral objects"
The decision Of the Republican
members of the ways and means
committee against reporting out
resolution yesterday was criticized
today by Representative Treadway
of Massachusetts. Republican
member of the committee.
THE message of President Cool
idge vocies the opinion that several
members of the ways and means
committee have had for some time"
Mr.. Treadway said. but there are
seven Republican members OF the
committee who do not approve OF
such action as we'll as Floor Leader
Longworth."
Representative Garner of Texas.
ranking Democrat on the ways and
means committee. asserted that more
than three days would be necessary
for passage of the resolution. and
added that 1T Is difficult to UNDER
stand why the president has not
urged this matter at an earlier
date"
