Some have wondered why the
State Of Wisconsin II so given over
to governmental vagaries and SO
meekiy prostrates itself before the
towering shadow Of political

In these answers one candidate
described volstead as an expert

Coolidge in the East and Dawes in
the West are preaching conservation
of the American Constitution. This
IS fundamental doctrine. 1t is the
kind of conservation that takes pre-
cedence over all other kinds, i'm
portant as they are. 1t goes direct
to the heart of American institutions
1t has to do with basic ideals and
governmental principles. devotion to
which has made the nation the great
political eXemplar for all the world
Destroy the governmental balance
which the forefathers devised, take
away the checks they set up. to
safeguard the "inalienable rights" of
the people and to make considered
judgment prevail over hasty i'm =
pulses, and there is immediate ex-
posture of our liberties to forces that
make for destruction. The founders
of the republic acted adviscdfy when
they established representative
form of government, and they were
even wiser when they saw to It that
the representatives of the people
should be subject to the mandates
and prohibitions of Constitution
set down in black and white. Those
mandates and prohibitions comprise
the guarantee of individual rights.
The most important of all the
checks is that to be found in the
power vested in the courts to say
whether OF not the basic law or the
Bill of Rights has been centravened.
The Supreme court does not
undertake to say whether a law is
wise or foolish. 1t does undertake
to say. when asked. whether a
statutory law stands the constitu-
tional test. If Congress were EN-
powered to pass finally on the
merits of its own with respect to
the validity thereof. the CO. ordinate
scheme of our government would be
destroyed. and the Constitution
would not be a constitution at all.
In discussing this matter Presf-
dent Coolidge and Mr. Dawes ad-
dress themselves to the common
sense of the people. They have
faith that the people will discern
the truth and that this discernment
will keep them free. They are rely.
ing on this same common sense to

would have the government buy and

in their proper places the quack

A SWEET MESS

What a busy lot of people are
spending tax money in this country!
More than ten billions spent annual
~, a little more than half Of this
being expended by municipal govern
ments, about a billion and half by
state governments and about three
and a half billions by the Federal
government. the whole amounting to
SOL for each inhabitant.
Does LaFollette show any way by
which this might be iessened? No.
but he would increase it by spend
ing forty billion dollars to buy up
railroads and other public utilities.
would incur an interest charge OF
two more billions and increase the
Federal payroll by two and half
million more government employees.
And of course, if the government
bought the railroads, 1t couldn't raise
taxes on them. Wouldn't that he a
sweet mess of political huckstering!

THERE IS OCCASION FOR THIS

THERE IS OCCASION FOR THIS
The comment recently made by a
visitor from another State seems
worthy Of attention. He says that
while he was waiting in an Augusta
barber shop he overheard a citizen
say that Augusta had no good roads
leading into town.
Needless to say the impression he
received was not altogether pleasant.
1t conhlcted with his previous i'm
preston that Augusta Is a place
possessed OF civic pride and enter
prise. Fortunately he was not will
ing to have that impression replaced
by an unpleasant one and so asked
questions. He was informed that
Augusta is not negligent respecting
her share In the roads leading into
this city. but has done we'll with
what she has to do: that there are
good roads leading into town: that
those which may not be all to be de-
sired are not so because Of Augusta 8
negligence.
Would any citizen Of California or
OF Florida. judging from what Is
commonly said about their boost
ing" methods. have made any such
remark as this visitor overheard?
And II he had. would he not have
been sorry that he did so? And now
the subject has come up how many
Of us are boosting Maine on every
appropriate occasion. There Is no
occasion for being too forward, no
occasion to tell other than the truth;
but there Is occasion for all Of us
to recognize great advantages which

WHY DID NE SAY 1T?

Why did LaFollette have to say
that Canadian railroads had been
taken over by the government and
being run ut profit and lower
freight rates?
The truth Is that those roads
being run by the government with
freight rates but little lower than
the rates on our railroads are not
making profits. but< are piling up
alarming deficits: that the only
roads in Canada making profits are
those run by private concerns.

The Budget committee of the
Maine legislature is about to start
upon it's tour of the state. This
committee visits the different sec
lions and hears the pleas made for
state appropriations by representa-
tives of the state institutions, state
departments. the hospitals and
schools receiving aid and the various
organizations and associations that
are on the payroll of the state.
The recommendations of the
Budget committee go a considerable
distance with the legislature. Not
all will be accepted and changes will
be made, but rarely is an institution
of charity granted a larger sum than
is recommended by the Budget COM
mittee. Therefore it behooves insti-
buttons, charities and philanthropies
hoping for assistance from the state
to see that a proper and convincing
plea is made to the Budget commit
