Guard Ice Cream
At Univ. of Maine

Orono, Me-, March IA - Because
several University Of Maine students
have a passionate fondness for ice
cream, and because they utterly lack
scruples as to methods Of obtaining
the delicacy. 1t is necessary for vigi-
liant watchment to patrol the campus
every night until long past "the
witching hour" Like Diogenes. they
are carrying lanterns, but they are
not looking for honest men.
For the last three weeks cooks in
dormitories and fraternity houses
have cursed the elusive ice cream
thieves. They. come by night, take
the ice cream intended for dinner
dessert on the following day. and
leave the empty can. Sometimes
they have taken the can with them
and returned 1t the following night.
Last Sunday $50 boys who live in
Hannibal Hamlin hall had no ice
cream for dessert because thieves had
removed 1t from the kitchen the night
before. Members Of Delta Tau Del
ia and Theta Chi fraternities suf-
fered likewise.
Now the university watchmen are
aroused. There will be plenty Of ice
cream tomorrow, they say. or they
will know the reason why.

ture were granted the sum OF $780,
$50. The appropriations to hospitals
represents compensation for free
medical and surgical treatment rem
dered by the institutions. and under
the present law the remainder of any
appropria ton not taken up in pay
ment for free treatment must be
turned back into the state treasury.
1t is the claim of nearly all Of the
hospitals, however, and this claim Is
supported by figures that the amount
of aid received from the state pays
for only portion Of the charity
work done. For instance. at the ses-
sion of the budget committee last fall
representatives of the Maine General
hospital at Portland pointed out that
a grant OF $4,000 each year would
pay for only two-sevenths Of the
charity cases admitted, and the ap-
preparation for the institution was
$4,000 for each Of the two fiscal
years.
History Of State Aid Policy
Conclusions as to the success OF
any change in the state policy OF
state aid may be drawn from the his
tory of the states policy as revealed
in the books in the Office Of the state
auditor. Previous to 1905 all state
aid to academies was given through
special resolves in the legislature. An
act was given through special re-
solves in the legislature. An act was
passed about 1905 making q regular
grant for all Of the academies of the
state acting as high schools In the
various counties. This sum amount
ing to SS2J5,00 a year was to be ap-
portioned to the academies on the
basis of the number of courses Of
fered, the number of students attend
ing. and the amount Of invested
funds. some of the academies receiv-
ing $500 a year, others receiving $3.50
and another class getting $1,000 a
year. BY this law it was planned to
do away with the food Of special re-
solves that each legislature was
obliged to consider.
In 1917 during the World War there
was falling off in the attendance at
some of the academies and the old
scheme Of special resolves was again
resorted to by many of the academies
even although they were receiving a
definite annual amount Of aid from
the State. The law had been passed
for the purpose Of treating the sev-
eral classes of academies alike for all
time, but since 1917 there has been a
gradual increase in the number Of spe-
cial resolves until now nearly all of
these institutions OF higher learning

dition to the sum they regularly re-

mics and educational institutions un-
der private control.
History Of Bridge Policy
The history Of the bridge policy is
practically duplicated in that Of the
highway bridges. A raft of special
resolves for bridges used to be pre-
sented to each Legislature by the
towns previous to 1915 and the ways
and bridges committee would be busily
engaged in holding hearings.
In 1918 1t was thought best to
change the States policy and each
year give 100000 for all bridges and
let the State highway department dis
burse the sum. The State would pay
20 per cent. of the cost Of the bridge.
the county would pay 80 per cent. and
the municipality 50 per cent. This
was the procedure for a few years,
but with the growth Of auto and heavy
truck traffic this sum was found to be
insufficient and about 1921 an act was
passed to take the bridge pay out Of 4
bond issue. Now 1t takes approximate
ly 100000 a year to pay the States
part in the construction Of highway
bridges.
A few years ago the state attempted
to stop the biennial log-rolling for
roads and took one-sixth of a mill
from the highway fund by law,
amounting to about $4,000. and let
the Legislature parcel 1t out. That
system has not been changed to the
present day.
4 serious Yroblsr,
The measure now before the So1ons
relating to hospital appropriations rep
resents an attempt to ban the argu-
ments before each Legislature on the
merits of the various institutions and
to cut In two the appropriations for
;hsse institutions.
An act recently introduced by Ssna-
tor Allel of York provides that all
moneys appropriated b. the Legisla-
ture for charitable, benevolent and ed
ucationai purposes shall be expended
only under the direction and with the
approval of the governor and council;
and that the governor and council may
at any time Investigate or cause to be
Investigated any board or department
Of the State and are authorized, direct
ed and empowered to prevent any un.
lawful, unnecessary or extravagant ex-
penditure of public money.
