Poultry Disease
Conditions Not as
Bad as Are Painted,
Saws III. M. Tucker

Il do not feel that the poultry dis
ease condition in the country is
nearly as bad as 1t is painted" de-
clared Herbert Nj. Tucker chief of
the livestock division of the State
department of agriculture who had
just returned Saturday from Boston
where he conferred with DR.. j. S.
Ryder, Federal inspector in Massa-
chusetts. regarding cooperation be-
tween Maine and Massachusetts in
the matter of the poultry quaran-
tine.
Mr.. Tucker says that in regard TO
the birds shipped from the West to
New York there is a good deal or
uncertainty as to jlst what the
trouble is. As nearly as can be as
certained. however. much or the
trouble is attributable to Sudden
changes in the weather. Many OF
the consienments of hens TO New
York were carried in poultry cars
constructed with practically no pro-
lection against the cold weather and
birds were frozen in transit.
The European Fowl plague has
been definitely diagnosed at Cornell
University, but no birds affected
have been found outside of the area
in New York. 1t is suspected, how
ever, that affected birds have gone
into New York City, Jersey City ana
Philadelphia. The government IS
making Il very vigorous campaign
against the plague and especial care
is being taken regarding the clean
ing and disinfectinS of the hen
Coops.
While in Boston. Mr.. Tucker made
ARRANGEMENTS with the Federal In :
spector DR.. Ryder SO that all poul-
try coops shipped from Maine to
Boston will be cleaned ard dlsin-
fccted in that city before they arc
returned to Maine.

Speaks of Auto
Plate Cases in
Courts of Maine

Declaring that when the cases
were presented to the courts me
duty Of the State highway police Of
fcers was completed and that he was
not concerned with what disposition
tho Judges made Of the cases. Fred
r. Sanborn of Gorham, chief of the

his office at the State House. spoke
Of the roundup by his department all
over the state of auto drivers who on
New Years Day had neglected to
', euuip their cars with 1925 registra-
ton plates.
Mr.. Sanborn said that although he
had not received complete reports he
estimated that the number of Offend
ers brought before the Maine courts
on this charge on Jan. was little
over one hundred. In some of the
courts, as in Portland, the cases were
dismissed on the ground that auto
drivers might be given a day or so
additional in which to procure their
plates on account of the unprecedcnt
ed demand at the last minute. Some
OF the judges imposed fines OF 81.
while the Judge of the Rumford court
placed the fine at s. in each case.

Gov. Baxter SCOTS
Idea of million
Dollar Taxes" with
Power DEVELOPMENT

Steadily holding to the proposition
that Maine water power should be
retained within Maine, Governor
Baxter Saturday issued a statement
taking issue with q suggestion re-
Gently made by Walter S. Wyman,
president Of the Central Maine Pow
or Company, regarding a possible
change in Names official attitude on
this matter
The Governor declares that there
Is nothing to the argument that the
State would receive large additional
tax revenues from the development
Of water power privileges, and is
averse to the idea OF making Maine
"a power house for other states"
ut is interesting to note the re-
cent change of attitude on the part
of the president Of one of the largest
power companies in Maine on the
question Of taking water power out
side of the State" said Governor
Baxter. when last talked with
him he was opposed to any such pro-
gram and felt that Names water
power should be retained for the
benefit of Maine people. OF course
any man has the right to change his
mind, but I should be interested to
Know what new SITUATIONS nave ue-
veloped in this particular instance.
1.-THE talk about the State of Maine
receiving a million dollars in taxes
If our water power is developed and
taken out of the State. makes no i'm
preston upon me. 1t Is shallow
and groundless argument. In the
first place most Of the development
would be in the wild lands of Maine
where takes are about one quarter
OF what they are in other sections of
the State and where valuations are
extremely low. In those places there
Is no municipal tax, the State and
county tax being the only ones as
sessed and that averaged Ia mills
last year while the average rate of
municipal taxes was 38 Ia mills. 1t
would require several hundred mill
lions of dollars in water power de-
velopment to produce a million dol
lars in State taxes. There IS moth
ing to that argument, 1t is rainbow
put out to confuse the issue and lead
people away from the real question.
Maine people will not be deceived by
1t.
"Once Names electricity goes
across the border it never will come
back and it is not an exaggeration to
saw that Maine then simply would be
a power house for other states The

The figures Just given out by the

not called upon to pay these enormous

OF what We could do for ourselves. In
one year We would save more than the
total State taxes for two full years
and still have money enough to build
all the buildings we need at our State

ever had before in any given year to
