We Differ But Support.

Differing with the president on some
points lana agreeing on others) the
Herald believes he is the best quail
fed of the three candidates and will
support him.
Coolidge believes in upholding the
law and so do most of us. He believes
in leaving the Volstead act as it is
while we believe in modifying it along
the Canadian plan. He believes in high
tariff while we believe that high tar
iff protects mainly the eastern manu-
featuring interests and that the west
ern agrarian interests are forced to
buy in a high home market and sell
at Liverpool controlled prices, IN a
world market.
But in the main we like Coolidge
because he is a sensible man. We
have faith to believe that he will
finally see that the interests of the
midwest if not paramount are co-or-
dinate with that of the east and will
direct legislation accordingly. And
we believe, absolutely, in his honesty.
No little ring or bunch will control
Coolidge.

He will not be elected but he will poll

Observation-Disclosures Road.

When bids for the construction Of
the proposed new Observation-Disclosures
road, over the new route, were
opened at Augusta last Thursday, to-
gether with ten other bodybuilding
jobs, it was held up by the governor
and council, with one other job.
No reason was given for failure
to award this contract, but the fact
that the the lowest bidder was a new
man in the field, and that the other
contract held up was also one on
which he was the lowest bidder, leads
to the supposition that it was merely
that the governor and council wished
to be assured of his responsibility
before awarding the contracts.
There is apparently no foundation
for the rumor current here that the
governor declared the new road UNI
necessary.
Five bids were offered for this job
ranging from $56,Sl6.fO tc
$6S,911.50.

talk on public economy, and then
watches him go to the legislature or
to Congress and break every promise

ample of this in the present Con-
gress. The people were promised re-
lief in reduced income taxes. The
secretary Of the treasury submitted

give this relief And the congress

duction impossible. All in the name
of politics. The congressman who
are to-day trihing with the peoples
will are playing close to the edge OF
governmental disaster. Some day,
unless these office holders cast aside
the idea that public Office is private

the ear of the people and lead them
in stampede away from the two old
parties, and the course of the
stampede is more likely to be over

vistic chaos, than away from it.

President Graham of the Bar Har-
Dor & Union River Power Co. APP
peared before the board of assessors
of Ellsworth again Monday, submit
ting an inventory of the physical
property of the company in Ellis
worth at $S1S,000. The valuation
placed on the company's property
last year was close to 100000,
which Mr.. Graham says is altogether
too high, compared with other yalu-
atoms He thought that the COM
pany's valuation this year should not
be more than 100000, and in sub
stance served an ultimatum on the
city that if it was more than that,
he would call upon the State as
SCISSORS to make revaluation of the
entire city. We believe Ellsworth
has nothing to fear from such visit;
IL valuations so up, the tax rate goes
down. If there are inequalities, they
should be adjusted. The only people
who have anything to fear from a
visit of the State assessors are those
who to-day are not bearing their full
share of the public burden.

The politicians have started their

years ago by party planks and legis-
latiou they now plan to invoke the

portunity to address gathering of
