ESTABLISH THE FACT
MOT0RISTSpAY BONDS
BY AMENDMENT

A subscriber to the kennebec
Journal, who is a motorist, writes the
Journal in reference to its recent
editorial concerning a new bond issue
for State highways and bridges. The
Journals suggestion was that the
new Constitutional amendment.
which will be necessary for the new
bond issue, provide that no such
bonds ever be e-issued and that the
amendment specifically provide that
the automobile license fees be i'm
pounded for payment OF these bonds
and interest thereon. Subscriber re-
fers to the Illuminating tables of hg-
ures prepared by the State Highway
commission proving that short term
serial bonds are the cheapest bonds
for the State to issue and that the
automobile license fees will be ample
to pay, the interest ION all these
bonds, pay off all the bonds as they
come due and still provide ample
funds for maintenance: and submits
a draft of n proposed Constitutional
Amendment covering all these points,
as follows:
Proposed Amendment
Section IT. The Legislature may
authorize the issuing of bonds not
exceeding twenty-five million, six
hundred thousand dollars in amount
at any one time payable within thir-
~ years, at a rate of interest not eX-
ceeding five per centum per annum.
payable semi annually. which bonds,
or their proceeds. shall be devoted
solely to the building of State high
ways, and Interstate, intrastate and
international bridges: provided how
ever: that bonds issued and out
standing under the authority Of this
section shall never. in the aggregate,
exceed twenty-five million. six hun
dred thousand dollars. which said
bonds shall be serial and when paid
at maturity, or otherwise retired,
shall not be re-issued; provided also
that all money necessary to pay the
interest upon said bonds, or from
time to time to pay off and retire
SAIL bonds. shall be applied from
money received by the treasurer OF
State from automobile license fees so
far as the same shall be equivalent
to such payments of interest or the
paying off and retiring said bonds.
Specifically Provides
The subscriber informs the Jour
nal. that this draft was prepared by
a lawyer of high repute and is in
proper ISSdI IOLIIi dlb III SCS no
adoption because it specifically pro-
vides that:
list. All bonds shall be short time
serial bonds. which are the cheapest
and therefore the best to put out.
End. All bonds shall be paid at
maturity and none shall be re-issued.
which he claims to be necessary II We
are to maintain a decent regard for
future generations and the financial
demands which will surely be made
upon them.
3rd. The necessary payments for
interest and for paying off the bonds
are now, by act of Legislature. taken
from the automobile license fees.
but, as we all know, no Legislature
can bind the actions of future Legis-
latures and he claims it Is a great
deal better to have the Constitutional
amendment specifically cover this
point. and that such a provision will
establish the fact that the motorists
who use and wear out these State
Highways are the ones who are pay
ing for them.

the so called volstead act. Both Grant
and Levin were sentenced to Atlanta
but Levin filed an appeal. That APP
peal was denied and he Is now at At
lanta.
In his petition for a pardon Levin
states that at the time Of his con-
viction in the supreme court for
Aroostook county he was undte SEN
tence imposed by the federal court.
having been convicted on the same
evidence, and IL he should be forced
to serve the State of Maine, he would
be serving two terms for the same
offence which seems to him unfair,
unjust and improper.
1t IS understood that Mrs. Ada
p. Levin of Houlton, the wife OF the
petitioner, will appear before the
governor and council in favor OF
pardon.
Aroostook Liquor Cases
Petitions for the pardon of Charles
T.. Calvin, Richard s. Vereker, Char
les Powell and Charles Smith. all of
Houlton. which will be considered at
the session of the governor and
council Friday. are the aftermath of
the trial at Bangor at which Grant
and Levin were convicted in the
terms in Atlanta. These men gave
evidence for the government and
Zach alleges that the indictments
against them for liquor selling were
returned on that evidence and they
state that their testimony was Of
sufficient value to the people of the
state of Maine to warrant executive
clemency in their behalf. Calvin,
Powell and Smith, have given bail
for their appearance from day to day,
while Vereker was convicted, the law
court overruling his motion and Civ
ing judgment for the State.
Other Cases
The other pardon cases to be con-
stdered are those of John F. Holland,
formerly Of Gardiner. who was sem
fenced to serve not less than 10 nor
more than 20 years in the States
prison for manslaughter in causing
the death by shooting of Fred Mardon
Of Watertown. Mass, and his wife,
Leona +. Holland in 1918; LAURA Mo-
rim of Saco, who was sentenced in the
supreme judicial court for York coun-
ty to pay a fine Of 500, and costs ana
to serve 60 days in Jail for manufac-
turing liquor; and Jay Hunt and Lars
Oscar Johnson. both Of Portland, who
are serving terms in the Cumberland
