Seeks Information
On Status Maine
Migratory Birds

The Maine Department of Inland
Fisheries and Game has been request
ed by the Bureau of Biological Sur
Vey to furnish detailed report of its
observations on the status of migra-
tory birds in Maine, particularly wild
duck and geese, commencing with
1913, if possible, with special refer
ence to increases or decreases and
condition of the habitat of the birds.
The following questions are speci-
fically asked:
Are you hunter of ducks or other
migratory wild fowl? Since 1918
what opportunities have you had to
observe migratory birds, particularly
wild ducks and geese Estate months
and locations of observ atfonS.)
Have you observed an increase or
decrease of water fowl. or of any
other species of migratory birds?
Comparing present supply with
numbers existing in 1918, what do
you estimate has been the percentage
of increase or decrease?
I'm 1928 did you observe, an in
crease or decrease compared with
numbers observed in 1922, and to
what extent?
do you believe the increase or de-
crease in 1923 was due to weather or
food conditions, or a change in the
migratory route of the birds or any
other cause, which please name?
ION how many days did you hunt
wild fowl during the 1923-24 sea-
son? What was your daily bag?"
The Department would greatly APP
preciate reports upon the subject
from duck hunters who have made
observations along these lines to be
incorporated in the report to the

Bee Keeping
Bookkeeping has been encouraged
by the Maine Department of Agri-
culture and the work has been
directed by the Bureau of Horti-
culture. We have devoted consider
able time in this work trying to
encourage better methods of handl-
ing them and marketing the
products.
whenever we have had reason to
believe that foulbrood existed we
have made a careful inspection and
had those colonies cleaned up,
either by destroying with fire or
disinfecting all the hives and
everything that might work as a
carrier of the disease. In the past
two years we have held meetings
in different sections of the State
where the apparent interest was
sufficient to warrant Holding them
These meetings have been we'll at

of the products have been much
improved and the Maine beekeepers

price for their honey.
Where the wayside market has
been properly developed the producer
has sold his honey at retail prices
and at the same time created a bet
ter demand for both extracted and
comb honey"
Figures contained in Mr.. Ycaton's
report show that Kennebec county
led in the beekeeping industry with
80 beckeepers and $50 hives.

COm'r. Lawrence Calls
Blue Sky Law Big
Protection Against
Fraudulent Securities

Bank Commissioner Fred Il. Law
renee of Skowhegan in a statement
Monday said that since the present
statute relating to the issue of secu-
rites, known as the Blue Sky" law,
took effect in July, 1919. there has
been barred from this state securi-
ties to the par value of more than
$3.50. 0OO 900 in addition to more than
100000 shares of no par value
stock
Il have no suggestions to make by
way of amendment to the present
law. which has been found in actual
practice to afford great protection
against fraudulent and unfair secu-
rifles" continued Bank Commits
Siorer Lawrence.
II feel, however. that it might
we'll be supplemented by legislation
requiring travelling representatives
of security dealers to be examined
by state board before being per-
mitted to exercise their vocation, a
form of protection to the public SIM
liar to that which is afforded by the
statutes requiring examination of the
character and qualifications of at
torneys, physicians, dentists, veter-
lnarians. and Others whose lack of
ries greater potential danger to the
public.
The banking department is re-
quired to pass upon the character
of the dealer and may withhold
registration of agents and statesmen
II proper cases, but it has no au-
thority to bear either a dealer or a
salesman because he lacks the
knowledge or training which one en-
gagged in such business should pos

Experience has abundantly dem
onstrated that the more enthusiastic
and competent a security salesman
may be. the greater the power for
harm which he possesses, If he has
not the necessary ground work by
way OF education and training in
economic and financial matters"
During the past year under the
so-called Blue Sky" law. oo1 deal

| terests OF the public demand that they
voluntarily take this fact into account
and through definite cooperative ac-
tion insist upon. the maintenance of
the highest possible standards.
The state department of banking is
not concerned with the taxation of
national banks, either as a source of
revenue or as means of exercising
control over those institutions. 1t
cannot, however, be blind to the eff
feet on state banks Of obvious handi-
caps. In purchasing securities in the
general market every state bank must
take into account its liability to pay
the state a tax of one per cent per
year. In making a similar purchase
the national bank may ignore this
item. If We assume that under aver
age conditions, five per cent is the
maximum yield of a strictly high-grade
bond OF the type in which average
deposits should be invested, it is at
once apparent that the state institu-
ton must figure the net yield on such
a security at only four and one half
per cent while the national bank is
not required to make any deduction
whatever on this account.
'The result is altogether too ap-
parent. Under similar conditions and
hidud6cIIcuI the SIdl6 1IiSllLu-
ton finds itself with less to carry to
reserve for the protection Of its pat
rons-or, what is more frequently the
case-is forced to purchase securities
Of inferior type so that the handicap
may be Offset. The effort, of course,
is fruitless, for the accumulated re-
serve should be proportioned to the
risks, but the psychology of the situa-
ton is none the less plain, and the
problem arising from this artificial
handicap placed on the state institu-
tons must be faced.
/ National banks cannot be directly
taxed by the states, but resident de-
positors in such institutions may be
taxed on their deposits, and two of
the New England states have already
solved the problem of unequal advan-
tage in this respect by imposing a tax
on the depositor and giving the bank
the option of paying it directly. These
statutes have been held valid by the
ultimate judicial authority on the
question, the supreme court Of the
United States The wisdom of the
enactment of similar statute in this
state is not for me to determine, but
I feel in duty bound to call the situa-
ton clearly to the attention of the
legislative body of the state. so that
unless some remedy is found by CO.
operative action among the banks
themselves-the nature Of which is not
apparent-the question of legislative
action may at least be seriously con-
Sidered.
'Tt should be borne in mind that
while the legal right of national banks
to accept savings deposits is no longer
in question, they are not in the trans
action of this business engaging in
the performance of any governmental
duty, and the activity is of different
character from that foN which they
were originally organized.
1.-THE state should welcome the op-
ening of savings departments by all
banking institutions, but it should at
the same time consider the effect of
permitting substantial and artificial
handicaps to be imposed upon insti-
tutions chartered by it."

meeting and Council 10 A. M, Friday

ceiving and investment of savings have
over-shadowed all other fields of bank
ing activity in this state can hardly
be appreciated by one not familiar with
actual figures. OF the $113, 100000 de-
posted in our trust companies more
than rs per cent represents savings
deposits, while about 20 per cent of
the $101 100000 of the deposits in
Maine national banks comes from the
same source. When we consider that
the entire deposit accounts of the
mutual savings banks, aggregating
over 100000, are savings deposits
exclusively, it becomes apparent that
of every dollar due depositors in Maine
banking institutions about 81 cents
represents savings account.
1.-THE commercial bank which in
many states plays such distinctive
part in the financial field is an almost
unknown quantity in Maine, this serv-
ice being rem Tered by institutions
whose major activities consist in the
investment of savings funds.
while the state can point with
justifable pride to the record of its
savings institutions, and the losses of
their patrons have been so trivial as
to he negligible, there is room, in the
light of changing conditions, for a
number of reforms. Many banks re-
cognizc that their investment policy
is not in line with that dictated by
sound banking principles. but find
themselves more or less powerless on
account of factor which has only
made itself manifest to material ex-
tent within the last two decades. 1

"There Is but one proper antidote
to excessive competition, and that is
cooperation.
THE bankers Of Maine should awake
to the potential menace of the situa-
ton. and regardless of the charter or
law under which they are organized, or
the nature of the supervising agency
to which they are responsible, unite
and take common counsel for the pur-
pose of mutually determining and
putting into effect sound investment
policy. To make better showing
than competitor and treat depositors
more literally is natural, but it's con-
sequences are not always foreseen.
The three types of banks now engaged
in soliciting savings deposits are OPP

demonstration at the farm of i. w.
Blackwell which was of much in

learned little something more than
he or she already knew about this

potato roguing is to Gull out all the
poor potato plants. and save the
good ones for the potato patch the
next year. and this idea Mr.. Day
very clearly carried to his listeners
