Time For a Start

NiSohSol NOIHIu0ICIdIJ
The cost of running the state Of
Maine today is about IA times as
much as it was half a century ago.
according to figures presented by
Professor Hormell Of Bowdoin COL
lege. Naturally the cost of carrying
on the state has increased but the
difficulty is that it has increased
so much more than the valuation or
the population. In this period the
population has advanced % per cent,
the valuation 1873 per cent and the
state expenditures by 1885 per cent.
The facts are apparent. and it can
not be denied that the burden of tax
alton of all kinds bears very heavily
upon the people. The average tax
burden in 1921 was $500 for a family
Of five and it has increased since that
time. The situation is clear but it is
not as clear what is to be done about
ii.
Seemingly there is little to be hop
ed from the national government.
The bonus enactment is regarded as
precluding any reduction in national
taxation. Municipalities are hard put
to prevent an advance in the tax
rate. There is chance. however. Of
reducing the state expenses IL we
can put the right people in the leg
islature, people who are determined
that the orgy of spending shall stop.
Recent legislatures have appeared
to consider that a certain line of ex-
penditure having been adopted it
must run on like Tennyson's brook
Each legislature year finds the state
expenditure increased. The time for
a halt arrived years ago but the
halt did not come. In the interests of
the people there should be a new
course adopted by the legislature
and there should be a wholesale cut
ting of proposed appropriation except
Tor the absolute state necessities.
When appropriations were small 20
or 80 years ago the legislature inau-
gurated the custom of extending help
to many institutions and philanth-
ropies. We believe that the time Is
now here when these helps merit
orious as they be should be stopped.
There should also be reorganization
of the state departments in the in
terests of economy. And now, when
Of the legislature are about
to be selected. is the time to make a
start.

Two Pay Fines at Municipal
Court Reckless Driving

TWO alleged reckless drivers of
automobiles were befor Judge Stone
In the municipal court Friday as the
result Of the efforts Of the state high
way police to put stop to some of
the reckless operation Of cars in this
section. The. firsts respondent was
Dennis Levesque of Somerville.
Mass arrested for. passing another
car on curve and at the top OF a
hill on the state highway leading to
Dover Foxeroft. He readily admit
ted that he was in hurry and was
taking q chance. He paid a fine of
$40 and costs. ~ :
The second was James McKenney
OF this town, who was CHARGED with
reckless driving on Grove street.
when ne attempted to beat a Maine
central passenger train over the
Grove. street crossing. CROSSING
Tender Willis G. Percival, testified
that he saw McKenney coming in
the hull toward the crossing as the
evening passenger train was an.

20 stop MIN with the use OF his stop
sign ana also by waving his hands
ana shouting. The driver. however.
oDliged to leap aside to avoid being
struck by the car, which was bareiy
missed by the soncomfnk train. Me-
kenney claimed that he did not see

proacning train but Judge stone
was skeptical and imposed a fine az

FIND THE FUNDAMENTALS

What Mr.. Pattangau said to the
voters Of Sanford respecting their
duty to vote. calling attention to the
fact that only about half the voters OF
York County took the trouble to vote
in 1922, though that county is in
vesting annually in the business OF
government over five and a half mil
lion dollars" was timely. The thought
was presented In such a way 1t should
arrest attention and be productive OF
results.
Here arises another and a very i'm
portant phase of the problem; how
are the people to obtain the informa-
ton they should, as investors. re-
specting the manner their invest
ments in government are being hand
led? This Is important Manifestly
effort must be made by the voter
not alone to vote but to learn what
he Is to vote about. If he or she
happens to depend on the Congress
sional Record for information re-
specting the management of national
affairs he scarcely will avoid the
conclusion that those on the Job can
not be depended on to know what
they are doing.
II we read the current news we
soon find that there is a bewild-
ering array Of governmental agencies.
the head Of each clamoring for aid
and greater power and none other
that seems to know Just what each
may need. The locker on from a dis
lance must conclude 1t is enough to

spends to the call Of an imperative
duty he will study, read, not one but

most will be. will resolve to pick the
best managers he can find. mindful
not only Of their personal qualifica-
lions but Of their affiliations. assoc
ciates, influences with which they
will cooperate or be moved by.
Not an easy task. but it cannot
safely be neglected.: increase in the
bewilderment cannot be tolerated.
First we must comprehend what we
already have on our hands and then
insist that this be not further mud

prehend fundamental principles to
which they give their earnest atten-
ton and these they must dig out of

Easing Tho Public Mind

Many evidences of the great and
pleasing prosperity of ex-cabinet
officer McAdoo have come to light
since that fateful day when Doheny,
the Pollyanna of petroleum, gave
forth the glad tidings that he had
been paying Mr.. McAdoo $4,000
annually for several years. In all a
grand total OF $250.000. he said, had
been poured into the capacious and
willing McAdoo pockets.
But in a trifiing detail. Doheny
was in error. Mr.. McAdoo, sternly
reproving him, said 1t was a mere
Sl50,000. Not counting what he got
from the movies for his invaluable
