HOW PAY FOR CARE
OF INSANE

Maine Legislatures gave consider
alton over quite a period of years to
the present method Of looking to the
State rather than to the towns for
cost Of the insane before adopting 1t.
1t should not be changed in a hurry.
The welfare Of the patients under
the different methods is the first
matter for consideration. Under the
Field bill there would seem to be an
inducement for some towns not to
send patients to the hospital for
treatment, who might really need 1t.
II the hospital authorities are COM
petent for the positions they occupy
their judgment respecting those who
should and who should not be at
large should be more trustworthy
than the judgment Of the town faith
ers.
Assuming for the sake of argu-
ment, that the unfortunate would
be as well cared for under the
change, we would then come to the
cost Of the different methods. and
this appears to be the real cause Of
the proposal to change. Human ma
ture being what 1t is, one is led to
suppose there would be a little more
likelihood Of relatives who are able
to pay for maintenance. shirking
their obligations under the present
method, although authorities, who
ought to know. declare there really
is very little Of that sort Of injustice.
A feature to be considered is that
which observation has noted, that
the greater number of unfortunates
come from the poorer towns. In the
Field bill effort is made to alleviate
that by fixing the cost to the
town at not more than half a mill.
But would not. even under that
arrangement, the taxpayer in such
a town. in any municipality, who
may be paying for the care of
his own unfortunate be also paying
more for the care of the INDECENT
unfortunates than he would pay un-
der the present arrangement? OF
course State taxes have to be paid,
but good part of the States funds
comes other than by way of direct
tax. and all that the State receives
IL expended for some purpose and
will be. we may be sure Of that. On
the other hand. If a town have no
unfortunate to be cared for that
towns taxpayers would not be re-
quired to pay. under the proposed
methods. for the INDECENT Of other
towns, within certain limits.
Has the utmost effort been made
under the present arrangement to
compel those capable of paying for
the care Of those dependent upon
them? Should we not make sure OF
such features Of the present law be-
fore suddenly making a change un-
der pressure?

IN FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS

Find arsenal $4,000 years old in
England" Is q bit of news that
arouses a momentary curiosity and is
soon to be forgotten. Before we turn
to something else it might be profit
able to consider certain changes war
has undergone since those ancient
implements of warfare were fashion
ed.
For one thing 1t seems fair to as
surle skulls were thick in those
days. Some skill was required to
fashion flint so it might break the
encasement of the ancient brain
but not as much as is now required
to produce chemicals to poison our
enemies through the air they
bl eathe.
War then rewarded the victor
with spoils, enabled him to take
lands and compel his enemies as
slaves to do the work thereon
Nowadays war is said to be as dis
e1olA ouS " tiic S1Slol aS " tlc vail
quished. Now war may destroy
more in an hour than then in a
life time. Have the causes of war
increased in like degree? To as
sumo they had, would condemn our
civilization.
II we are conscious of a sense OF
superiority in thinking Of man fifty
thousand years ago contracting
rheumatism and malaria while lying
in wait to bludgeon his victim, of his
delight In torture, of his fears Of the
invisible. of his superstitions, II
might be we'll to give the imagina-
ton a guess as to what people fifty
thousand years hence will think oil
Us, of our arsenals and methods ol
warfare. viii their sense Of su-
periority be tickled by the retro.
spect? Will they smile at our pro.
fessions recorded in song and story
and our practices in contrast? vii
they discern the same old Adam, the
same old Eve. functioning under
limitations, to be sure, but with the
same old greed and heedlessness?

FIGHTING NAMES FOREST
PESTS

There is nothing very spectacular
about the forest insect pests. The
spruce budworm has succeeded in
destroying since 1910 twenty-seven
and q half million cords OF spruce
and fir in Maine alone without MAX
ing much noise about 1t. As this
represents about forty per cent of
the entire stand Of such timber the
need Of combating the pest no
longer admits of any doubt.
A recent circular entitled Flight
ing Insects in the Maine Woods"
has been sent ont from the Federal
De apartment of Agriculture. This
states that for the third time in the
history OF Maine numbering the
spruce budworm has swept through
the forest region Of the State, TAX
ing an appalling toll"
In September 1921 study Of the
spruce budworm problem was begun,
the lumber interests contributing to
the support Of the work. A system
of prevention and control which is
termed effective Is being carried on,
correlated with the fire protective
system. Investigation shows that
the outbreaks invariably start in
areas having large percentage of
talsam fir and these areas are being
carefully watched. AS soon as the
outbreak occurs the owners are
notified and requested either to
girdle the trees or put in pulp
operation and so stop the outbreak
before it becomes epidemic.
Investigations are also being car
ried on Of the larch saw-fly prob
lem. and the forest tent caterpillar
that strips thousands Of acres of
Poplar each year comes in for con-
sideration. The Federal authorities
