Who Criticixes Muscle Shoals Plant
THAT is" continued Dr. Wyer, the
Muscle Shoals power project will be
all dressed up and no place to go.
"On the basis of leasing the Muscle
Shoals plant, it will be impossible to
secure rental large enough to wipe
out ultimately the investment. No
one but fool would agree to pay a
large enough rental that would ulti-
mately wipe out the money that has
gone into the project.
ION the basis of selling the Muscle
Shoals. plant, 1t will be impossible to
get a bid equal to the amount of
money that has gone in.
ION the basis of the United States
government operating the plant, 1t
would be impossible to sell the cur
rent at a rate that would give large
enough return to pay back ultimately
the money that has gone into the
project for the simple reason that
this Muscle Shoals power would al
ways have to compete with power
generated from the nearby coal
mines and power can be generated
cheaper at these coal mines than at
Muscle Shoals"
After explaining that only 100000
horsepower can be depended upon
for continuous service at Muscle
Shoals, DIR. Wyer compared the ex-
tent of the project with other and
better known projects.
'It would take So Muscle Shoals to
equal one Niagara Fails" he said.
1T would take $50 Muscle Shoals to
equal the undeveloped water powers
that can be easily developed in the
United States. 1t would take. 400
Muscle Shoals to equal the station
airy horse power now in use. 1t would
take more than two Muscle Shoals to
equal the Colfax steam station of the
Duquesne Light Company II miles
north of Pittsburgh"

INHER|TA NCE TAX
FORM OF SOCIALISM
VIEW OF COOLIDGE

Washington, Feb. 10 - Declaring
that in some instances the federal
tax. when added to SINH
lar state levies, amounts to virtual
confiscation. President Coolidge in an
address today opening the national
Inheritance and estate tax confer
ence. urged the gradual retirement by
the government from this field of
taxation.
Representative Green OF Iowa.
chairman Of the house ways and
means committee. addressing a night
session OF the conference. which was
called by the National Tax Associa-
ton. took an opposite view. asserting
that without federal inheritance tax,
similar taxes imposed by the states
would inevitably fail"
IF we are to adopt socialism," Mr..
Coolidge said in his address, 1T
should be presented to the people Of
this country as socialism, and not
under the guise Of a law to collect
revenue"
He added that there was competi-
ton between the states to reach,
through the Inheritance tax, not only
the property of it's own citizens but
that of citizens of other states.
Greater economy in the collection
OF revenues also was recommended
by the president.
Mr.. Green asserted that the tax as
it stands now, allows a credit of %
percent of the federal tax to cover
state Inheritance taxes and elimin-
ates the Islands Of refuge" for tax
dodgers in states where such leyies
are not imposed.
The Iowa representative saw no
reason why. at the next session of
congress, income taxes should not be
largely reduced. In lowering the
rates, however, he insisted, I'VE
should preserve our Inheritance tax
system"
Representative Mills of New York.
a Republican member of the ways
and means committee. differed with
the chairman's views and took a po-
sition similar to that of the presi-
dent.

Battle over Proposed Ban of State
Stipend for Sectarian Schools
SEEK W|P|NC OUT
OF UNCLEAN Dance
HALLS IN STATE

Publication of dance halls by
urged upon the judiciary committee
Thursday afternoon by DIR. Clarence
+. Kendall. State commissioner OF
health. in advocating the enactment
of a bill for the regulation of such
places. The bill, which was intro
duced by Rep. Cakes Of Portland
upon the request Of DR.. Coombs Of
the department of health, was a mod
ification of a bill sent the Maine de-
partment by the federal health
bureau.
DR.. Kendall described some of the
conditions he had seen about the
dance halls, more particularly the
So called pavilions in the suburbs of
the larger places. He made it rath-
er clear that most of the things
which he thought ought to be rene
died took place. not on the inside Of
the hall, but outside, at distance
from the establishments, for he said
he had frequently seen couples along
side the road at a distance of mile
either side of these places.
Police chiefs, said DR.. Kendall,
favored the bill. He had talked with
Chief Field of the police department,
who was a THE hearing. during the
day and the chief approved the
measure. The doctor thought it
would be a good idea to add a provi-
sion requiring that any person who
left the hall should pay another adj
mission before being permitted to
~, ole no
limit under which persons should not
be admitted except with parents or
guardians.
Asked if there had been complaints
against any of these dancing pavil-
ions DIR. Kendall said: Yes, one; the
one outside of Auburn on the road
to Danville Junction"
W. j. Thompson of the executive
committee of the Maize State
Grange, opposed the bill on behalf
of the oranges. He said they would
not care to advertise their halls as
public dance halls, yet under the pro-
visions of the law they would have
to do SO.
+. l.. Drinkwater of Sabattus, who
conducts dances, and J. w. Lowell
proprietor of the Pleasant Pond dance
pavilion, also opposed the bill.
Succession Taxes
! Ernest l.. Mclean, mayor of Au-
gusta, appeared as the chief pro-
ponent of a bill to repeal the sue
cession taxes assessed on stocks,
bonds and evidences of debt of Maine
corporations. He reminded the COM
mittee that this matter was consid-
cred very fully four years, and would
mean the restoration of conditions
which existed prior to 1917.
Mrs. Clifton Plummer of the State
corporation bureau told the commit
tee that at the rate Maine corpora
tlons are now disappearing, there will
be in a few years none left from
which to draw either inheritance or
franchise taxes, unless something is
done.

LITTLE CHANGE
IN EMPLOYMENT
SITUATION IN maine

Boston, Feb. 19-Manufacturing
plants in New England are generally
busy although part time still obtains
in some industries, the monthly re-
view OF the U. S. Employment Ser
vice, department of labor, made pub
lie today, declared. In Massachu-
sets the report said, radio and auto
mobile tire plants are working over
time and employment has increased
in the silk industry.
In Maine, very little change has
taken place in the employment situa-
ton. While nearly all plants are OPP
Grating, part time still obtains in the
textile and shoe Industries. In some
parts of the state, wooden mills are
on overtime schedules. Car repair
ing shops are operating on a five-day
week basis and the paper and pulp
mills are working on reduced sched-
ules due TO seasonal conditions. The
ice harvest which is now under way
is affording considerable employment
and building is fairly active.
In New hampshire, all plants are
running with some on full time and
others on part time schedules. No
large surplus of labor is apparent in
any section. Hosiery mills and ma
chine shops are operating about Is
percent of full capacity and wooden,
printing and wire cables industries
are working overtime in certain sec
tons. Building operations are &C
tive.
Practically all Vermont plants are
time schedules and few small
ers is reported in the woodworking
plants, textile mills and machine
shops. Wooden mills in some Sec
items are working overtime. Rail-
road repair shops are still running
on five-day week basis and a sea-
sonal slackening in the granite in
dustry was noted during January.
Some shortage of farm labor is re-
ported
In Rhode Island Industrial employ
ment conditions are improved. Prac-
tically all plants are running with
many on full time schedules and the
textile mills increased their working
forces during the past 80 days. Sew
eral silk and braiding mills are on
overtime schedules and a shortage
sections. Seasonal decline in the
jewelry industry Is apparent and
part time obtains in the rubber fac
tories. Building is active.
Most Connecticut industries are
operating and unemployment is in
frequent. Overtime prevails in met
al working plants with a shortage of
skilled men. Silk velvet and cotton
mills are on part time. but the re-
leased workers have been absorbed in
other lines.
In the Boston industrial district,
including Lynn, Cambridge, Quincy,
Maiden, WATERFOWL, Chelsea. Everett,
Somerville. Braintree and Wakefield
the situation has shown little change
during the past month although part
time still obtains in some lines caus-
ing a usrplus of workers, the gener-
al number unemployed is gradually
decreasing"

Stockyards and railroad companies

their operation has been subject to

Accusations Mass of Lies
Mrs. Cote Declares at End
of Story in Own Defense
CLAIM PROPOSED
HUNTING FEE $1.15
REAL PROTECTION

George c. Orr of Portland, president
of the Cumberland County Fish and
Game Association, opened the hearing
in behalf of the proponents for the
bill making the fee for resident hunt
ers and fishermen at S115 instead Of
20 cents as at present, Thursday after
noon before the committee on inland
fisheries and game. Mr.. Orr explain
ed that the measure had been endors-
ed by the association of which he is
the head.
II only know of four persons in my
section of the State who are opposed
to this bill" said Mr.. Orr. There is
certainly no better way to pay the ex-
penses of this important department
than to tax those who play the game.
Johnny with his gun is thing of the
past and every hunter and fisherman
should be willing to pay this annual
fee of s1.15 for the sport that he gets"
Stephen T.. Cordwell Of Westbrook,
president of the Maine Sportsmen'
Fish and Game Association, in favor
ing the bill said that at the last an
nual meeting the association went on
record for it. He believed that a large
majority of the sportsmen in the
State favor the measure and he hoped
that the committee would vote unani-
mously for it.
Frank w. Wardwell Of Portland,
secretary Of the Maine Sportsmen's
Fish and Game Association, said that
Maine is now the only state which has
game left of any consequence. eff an
automobiles is willing to pay three
cents gallon fer gasoline. l do not
see why the real hunter and fisherman
should not be willing to pay $115 a
year for the benefits which he re-
ceives."
Edward c. Jackson, treasurer OF the
Cumbe rland County Fish and Game
Association. said Maine has the best
fishing of any Of the eastern states,
and that the commission needs funds
for carrying on the work of preserva-
ton. Without the tax, he said, sooner
