tion. There are some who will
undoubtedly make political capi-
tai from this issue but in 4 broad
sense it is not a party question.
"A multitude Of remedies have
been prescribed but none have
been accepted. II Is said that the
inevitable tendency OF every sys-
tenn Of self-government is to ex-
alt the representative body. IL
is the various interpretations Of
the constitution that produce
friction in government.
A special report from the De-
|partment Of Agriculture issued
this week shows that the farm
product prices are higher now
than they have been during the
past AZ months. According TO
this report they are reaching the
pre-war parity with other COM
modities and the rise in grain
prices is regarded as most help
full.
II is reported that ofpanixa-
tions throughout the country are
taking an active interest in pro-
posed tax legislation. Not salts
fed with the provisions Of the
recent tax law there is q move
mcnt under way TO make further
revisions Of the income taxes.
The business interests feel that
the maximum surtaxcs should be
reduced in order to induce men
|of wealth to invest their funds In
stocks Of manufacturing corpora
tions instead Of in tax-exempt
securities. II is noticeable in the
majority Of districts that candi-
dates for reelection to Congress
are avoiding the tax issue, claim
ing that the present law Is easily
enforceable and satisfactory.
President Coolidge is reported
to have accepted recommenda-
tions of Secretary Of the Treas
|ury Mellon to use his influence
in bringing about revision
along the lines Of the Mellon
plan which was rejected by Con-
gress and the present law substi-
tuted.
1t is apparent that plans Of
Senator Couzens. Republican. Of
Michigan. to investigate the Bur-
eau OF Internal Revenue, Prohibi-
tion Unit, will be held up until
the elections. It was his original
intention to force his inquiry on
the eve Of the elections but other
committee members have found
excuses to stay his hand for a
time, believing in this instance
at least. that procrastination viii
be more effective politically than
a rough-shod investigation.

WASHINGTON LETTER


Continued from Pare 4,
in mind that the sovereign au-
thority Of Congress should be
made clear.
II was the late Woodrow Will
son, in a special study Of Ameri-
can politics undertaken several
years prior to active participa-
tion in national affairs. who said
that the balance Of Judiciary
against legislature and executive
could be considered as one Of
those ideal balances which are to
be found in books rather than in
the rough realities Of actual prac-
tice. II was his contention al
that time that the national
courts are for the most part in
the power Of Congress. He
stated that even the Supreme
Court is not beyond its legisla.
tive control for it is the legisla'
tive privilege to increase. when
ever the legislative will so pleas
es, the number of judges upor
the supreme bench"
Keeping in mind the fact that
Mr.. Wilson expressed these views
as far back as the year 1883
when he was recognized as one Of
the Nations foremost authorities
on political science, it is signiii'
cant to note that he believed that
"All niceties of constitutional re.
striction and even many broad
principals Of constitutional limi-
tation have been overridden, and
a. thoroughly organized system oi
congressional control set ur
which gives a very rude negative
of some theories Of balance and
some schemes for distributed
powers, but which suits well with
convenience. and does violence tc
none of the principles of self
government contained in the
Constitution" Perhaps, his ex-
periences as the Chief Magistrate
may have brought a revision. II
is worthy to note that the war
time President had more power
than any other man.
II is generally known that con
siderable legislation has failed Of
passage because Congress was
very shy about comforting au'
thority upon any Federal body
not directly subject to its con.
troll. Those who favor the reten'
ton Of the powers now possess.
sed by the Chief Executive say
that it is essential that this au'
thority should be maintained in
the interest Of good Administra

Scottish Musical
Comedy Pleases
Many at C.. of G.. Show

About 500 people attended THE Cot
tcrs Saturday Night" Scottish mu
steal comedy. presented under the aus
pices of the Waterville Chamber of
Commerce at the new junior high
school last evening. The scene was
laid In the highlands of Scotland in
the home of a cotter. The cotter. who
is n tenant of cottage attached to a
farm. by custom spends his Saturday
evenings Mt his fireside quietly with
his family and one or two neighhors
who might chance to drop in. The time
of the story was in the year 1890. Fol-
lowing is the cast of characters:
Margeet Anderson, the cotter's wife,
Edith MacGregor
JEANNE, tho daughter. Mary Mack
John Anderson, the cotter
Edward McHugh
Robert Douglass. the laird's son.
Lorne McAdam
Jamie. the cotters son.
JVhn r. Daniels. Jr.
Tammas Cuthbertson. a neighbor.
William Wilson
The play opens in the kitchen of the
humble but coy cottage of John An
derson. Two tables covered with red
denim cloths are Mt the front and right
of the room. In the rear is a wash
stand. n large sideboard for the dishes
and several chairs. The cotter's wife.
Mrs. Anderson. enters. sits down at
the table and as she commences to knit
she sings "John Anderson" At the
close Of her song her daughter enters
and after a warm greeting tells her
mother that she is to have caller. the
laird's son. Robert Douglass by name.

Balloon Tires Make
Appearance For First
Time In Waterville

Although the bigger metropolitan
daily papers have been carrying arti-
cles for some time declaring the worth
of balloon tires. this new invention did
not hit Watervilie for the first time
until day before yesterday. when
Blaine Fowler of the kennebec Auto
Supply Co. drove a new REQ sedan
from Augusta to Waterville equipped
with the new tires. The car is at the
present time in the Kennebec Auto
Supply show room on Silver street.
Although these tires are two inches
bigger in diameter than the ordinary
tire OH n REQ car. a white line painted
around them makes them look smaller
than they really are. The regular size
cord tire for REQ is 80 by 4. while
balloon tires measure 80 by s.
Mr.. Fowler praises them very highly.
saying that they ride much easier than
the ordinary cord tire While the cost
of the tire is about 40 per cent. more.
the wear is also &C FER cent. more and
the benefits to the mechanism OF the
car are very pronounced. The bigger
tire surface gives better brakeing sur
face. which is an advantage especially
during this time of year. 1t also gives
better traction through snowdrifts.
The tire takes lower air pressure
and acts as a shock absorber on the
car. The materials used in the tire are
the same as in any good cord tire.

Aided in Work
Probation Courts

New York, Jan. - "a, -
Greater progress in the development

during the past five years than dur

ing to National Probation As
about 100000 children under Is
years of age passed through the

In the juvenile courts. where pro-

than 75 percent of the children were
placed on probation and given an
opportunity under proper super
vision to prove that they were not

those placed on probation made
good.
IN every state of the Union to-

the treatment in the courts. In
some of the states, however. its use
is greatly limited, the principal
limitation, which applies in thirteen
states, is to the cases of children

Union. Maine and Wyoming. pro-
vide for specially organized Juvenile
courts with probation work as cor
nerStonc. NO state has complete
system and in many states this sys-
TEN is limited To n few large cities"
New York has extended the
juvenile court to all counties by re-
cent legislation while Arkansas and
California have extended the age
limit to 81. Twenty states now have
tho 1S-ycar age limit.
THE present crime wave and the
many similar waves which have pre-
coded il are ample proof that the
prison and reformatory system is an
inadequate cure for crime" the re-
port declares. "a nation wide sur

that there are but 1894 probation Of
