Several Schools
Seek State Aid

Opening the hearings of Wednes-
day afternoon, Chairman Allen of the
committee on education told all pres
ent that there was no need to make
speeches and that the swinging of
arms could be done outside the door
The hearing was held in the House of
Representatives. He also requested
that where there were more than two
persons representing a bill they be
careful not to make the same argu-
ments, as this would save their time
as well as that Of the committee.
Former Representative Pattee of ST.
Adams appeared in favor of the re-
solve to give Somerset Academy. of
that town, $500 instead of $3.50 a
year. But for this academy. he said.
40 per cent. of the pupils in the towns
accommodated by it would not receive
secondary education.
The needs of Wilton Academy were
told by Cyrus \. Blanchard of that
town. 1t asked $500 year from the
State.
At the request Of President Buzzell
of the Senate the bill to provide a
mill fund tax for the support of the
University OF Maine was continued
week for hearing. He said that the
matter was now being taken I'D with
Governor Brewster and the result of
this conference would determine
whether the bill was to be pressed or
not.
Representative Sturgis of Auburn
appeared for the bill requiring that all
persons holding Office in Maine must
be able to write and read the English
language and that all public business
should be transacted in that language.
He said this was not intended to work
hardship on anyone. 1t was felt
that it was hut fair requirement. 1t
was his understanding that there were
people who could not write the Eng
lish language who We're holding Office
in Maine.
Representative Gagne Of Lewiston
didn't believe there was a necessity
of the law. He knew the board to
which Rep. Sturgis referred. 1t was
the county commissioners In Auburn.
Their talking in another language was
had manners. not that they could not
use the English language. AS a result
one of them was turned out of Office
last fall by his own people.
Representative Burns of Eagle Lake
saw no need of the bill. All the bust
ness I'm his town was done il English
Replying to a query by Chairman AL
len lie said the law would he no hard
ship there.

Over Security Brokers

Bank Commissioner Lawrence an
peared before the banks and bank
ing committee Wednesday afternoon
IN favor of bill to give to his de-
partment more efficient supervision

measure he pointed out the the Blue
SKY law protects the public to a GER
tain extent but does not permit his

ers OF listed stocks and securities who

Ask Protection
OF Maine Sheep

A bill drawn by Maine men inter-
ested in sheep raising, designed TO
curb depredations on their f1ocks by
unlicensed and tramp dogs, was
heard by the committee on agricul-
ture Wednesday. And the sheep men
fo.:nd allied with them the poultry
men and those interested in the pro-
lection Of deer. The bill as drawn,
or similar legislation, will be a big
aid to the sheep raisers Of Maine,
in the opinion of Frank p. Washburn,
commissioner Of agriculture, who
said that Maine has lost Go percent
of her sheep in the past so years and
that half of that loss can be charged
up to the tramp dog.
While the act proposes many
amendments to the present law, the
principal changes are: A dog once
taxed to man shall continue under
his responsibility; the license fee
shall be increased from $1.15 TO S2.25:
dogs not properly licensed, collared
and tagged may be captured by any
one and turned over to the sheriff,
who may make such disposition of it
as he sees fit.
D. w. Ellis Of Fairfield said it had
often been stated that Dogs and
Democrats" are the worst foes of the
sheep industry. I'VE may believe
that the Republicans are better
friends than the Democrats" said Mr..
Ellis. but we do know that the dogs
are our worst enemies. This bill will
not work a hardship to any dog
owner"
Mr.. Ellis favored reenactment of a
To- loI 10 Hsy
which provided that any person have
the right to kill any dog found
chasing domestic animals or deer.
Other speakers in favor of the bill
were n. W. Tozier of Fairfield, II. NJ.
Tucker, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, A. l.. Merrill Of Au-
burn. Rep. Flint of Monson. Matthew
Morrill, of Gray and Garrett Fender
son of Carmel.
Mr.. Merrill, speaking for the poul-
trymen, said that many in his BUSH
ness would be driven from the State
If things were allowed to continue.
He cited the killing of 60 birds in his
flock by one dog, and the possibility
of trouble with the owner OF the dog
il it We're shot. Auburn is para
disc for dogs" said Mr.. Merrill.
Asked by Chairman Wilson if he ever
! had trouble with weaseis, Mr.. Merrill
said: Certainly. a man who raises
chickens has trouble with every
thing
Mr.. Henderson expressed the opin-
ion that the sheep industry is the
one bright prospect for the Maine
farmer but that, unless something
were done, Maine would find itself
in the position Of Connecticut, with
$4,000 sheep and $4,000 dogs.
The bill introduced by Sen. Bar
wise. which provided that owners of
dogs not properly collared and tas-
ged could have no derress for any
thing that might happen when they
We're not in the care of the owner,
was tabled until the next hearing.
Rep. Friend of Etna spoke for the
bill to establish uniform size test
| tube. inside diameter one half inch,
for use in taking samples of milk
and cream to be given the Babcock
test. Different sizes are used now. lie
said, and the half inch size is best.

the principal reason advocated by
Chester I. Winslow of Raymond, as
sistant secretary OF the Senate, be-
fore the interior waters committee
Wednesday tor changing the name of
Isattlesnake Pond in the towns of

orally known and which describes
the shape of this beautiful body of
water.
Representative Towle Of Winthrop
presented new draft of the bill
which would authorize Harry NJ.
Stanley to construct and maintain a
wharf and boat house in Lake Ma
ranacoek in Winthrop. The new
draft locates not less than IS nor

with the desire of the Winthrop
NILS officials and requires the con-
sent of the municipal officers.
Both measures were considered in
