LET'S GET THE RIGHT I'M.
PRESTON

The SIND Legislature has been a
creditable one. A Legislature may
be known by what it does not do as
we'll as by what it does. This has
not done some foolish things which
it was urged to do. 1t has CO.
operated with the executive to an
extent we think rather unusual. And
there has been in evidence on the
part of the Governor a desire to
meet them half way.
In the last days of the session
there arose differences of opinion be-
tween the executive and the legisla-
tive branches Of the Government,
resulting in vetoes. Connected with
these differences unfair reports re-
ceived currency. In justice to all
the parties concerned these should
not be magnifled. nor should cred
ence be given to falsehoods.
In his message vetoing the rail-
road excise tax bill the Governor
said: about this time in the legis-
lative session it is well to look out
for lies" Before the public settles
down to conviction respecting the
merits of the controversies it will be
well not only to look out for lies,
but for innuendoes. for absurdities
such as. on the one hand. that "the
ways were creased" for the railroad
rebate and on the other hand that
klaverns resounded with the clamors
of tho righteous.
Lawmakers strive to please their
constituents. Everybody knows that
favors to corporations are not US
ually a way to approval by con-
stituents.~ We haven't the slightest
doubt but a majority of those men,
bers voted for relief In the railroad
tax conscientiously. Furthermore
their position was backed by the I'M
iassailable evidence that the service
rendered has not been profitable
over a period OF years: that the last
common stock dividend Of the Maine
Central r. r., for instance. was in
1920; that in the past four years the
net revenue of that railroad showed
a deficit of 81, 23O, 400: that it paid
an increase of $219,565 in taxes
These are but few Of the facts be-
fore these lawmakers when they de-
cided to do what they knew was
likely to be an unpopular act. I,
will be popular, however, if the time
comes when the railroads cease to
render the service on which the pub
lie depends. It is not the intention
here to argue the matter. but it does
seem appropriate to call public at
tention to the desirability of keep.
