LAWMAKERS PROFITABLE
HALF HOUR

The Maine Legislature in joint
session profitably employed thirty
minutes in strenuous national think
ing on a subject OF vital interest to
them and their constituencies. as
shareholders in that tremendous
business undertaking, e the national
government. Their thoughts were
warmed by State pride, informed by
the eloquence and tickled by the
wit Of Maine man. Gen. Lord, be-
cause he was fit for the task. was
called by command-and like a
soldier obeyed-to an almost impos-
sible task as director of the national
budget of SOLDERING up people In the
midst Of an orgy of expenditure.
At the outset he declared that
when a director became popular 1t
would be time to remove him, but If
he carries on as he did before the
Maine Legislature he is likely to dis
prove his original conclusion Gen.
Lord is the solitary instance. so far
as we have learned, to thrill a Maine
Legislature with eloquence and move
to tears and laughter all in a speech
on the dry subject of national
economy.
And yet he told them a budget
director, subjected to powerful in
fluences on every side-every ap-
preparation of public money has
powerful friends behind it-needs a
backbone Of steel, a hide like that of
a rhinoceros and a heart Of flint.
We wonder how many Of the law
makers listening intently and ap-
plauding again and again resolved
then and there to harden their
hearts, stiffen their backbones and
toughen their hides. We may learn
something of this about the middle
of April, when the Matched chickens
are counted.
We wish Gen. Lord would broad
cast that speech. We wish every
one would read the report OF
what he. said. for while the national

from it's position of eminence the
burden of State, county and NUM-
cipal taxation is increasing. Today,
the ratio stands between the former
and the latter 80 1870 to 67
2-3ee. And this should not be so.
Inspiring the courage of President
Coolidge and Director Lord is recog-
milton Of the fact that this drive for
economy is more needed for saving
the people than for saving money.
People have acquired the habit of
thinking in billions in the matter of
expenditure and Of not knowing
what to think in the way Of produc-
ing the wealth, of not liking to think
at all about how the money may be
had provided there be chance Of
spending it in advance Of procure
ment. Real economy may not be
had except by some sacrifice.

'Heigh no, how far shall we go?"
sighed dear Uncle Lucky, just as l
finished yesterdays story and COM
menced today's.
He and Little Jack Rabbit had
hoped close to a row of button
bushes growing along the shallow
shore of the Old Duck Pond. The
next minute more than a dozen
black ducks began to quack with
fright and. with great splashing,
rose into the air and sailed away.
Yes, away they sailed. two by two,
for they had already mated and
would soon begin to raise a family.
IF we keep very quiet perhaps
they'll come back" whispered Uncle
Lucky, and sitting down under
mountain laurel. whose leaves fur
nished the only screen along the
bank. the two little rabbits waited
until by and by. after n while, there
came IL soft swish of sailing wings,
and a pair of black ducks dropped
lightly into the water. There they
sat ON the quiet pond for some time,
when they both swan over to the
button bushes to build nest.

MADISON
Board of Trade Meetino

An unusually interesting meeting of
the Madison board of trade was held
Wednesday evening at the Office of
the Augusta Trust Company. The
first matter to come up was the es-
tabhshment of n free bed at the Col
Inns hospital for needy patients. After
considerable discussion it was voted
that the chair appoint a temporary
committee of five to canvass the sit
uation and report plans at the next
meeting. The committee appointed
was Rev. Z. B. Tetley, c. o. Flanders,
Raymond Henderson, Walter Ray and
John Tarr.
The next matter to come up was
the publicity program. Chairman

Der of large signs had been painted
and We're to be placed at strategic
points as soon as the frost is out of
the ground. He also reported that a
quantity of small road signs had been
ordered.
The Old Point auto camp and its
needs came up for discussion. 1t was
voted that n committee consisting of
Evan w. Adams. NJ. NJ. Spear and
Stanley Renter have charge of the
camp for the coming season and that
the same restrictions should remain
in force as last season. 1t was also
voted that the camp committee make
arrangements for field day and sup
per as soon as the weather conditions
are again suitable.
Still another matter to come up for
discussion was cleanup day and the
Improvement Of the bank near the
railroad station. This was left in
the hands of the improvement COM
mittee.
1t was voted to hold a banquet at
the next meeting to be held April 8
and that the program be devoted to
the woolen industry. l.. C. Taft was
elected chairman of the committee Of
arrangements.

WOULD CLUB COOLIDGE

Mr.. Warren, having been as
lawyer connected with exploits OF
the sugar trust. it is said, the op-
ponents Of President Coolidge think
they see an opportunity to club the
President with popular prejudice.
That Mr.. Warren is competent and
courageous is evident. AS trust
buster the late Senator Knox proved
a doughty example Of what may be
done along that line. This because
plus his courage and capability he
knew the ins and outs Of the trusts.
But the opposing senators are not
fighting Warren SO much as they are
the President. The Democrats wish
to make it appear that he is curry
ing favor with the big interests in
the appointment of Warren; nominal
Republicans wish for, revenge be-
cause the Republican organization
has publicly recognized a fact be-
fore known by all, that LaFollette
and his co-workers are not Repub-
licans. There is great glee among
the opponents of the administration
over the indications that the Pres
ident must reckon with traitors in
his own party in the Senate. So is
the outlook for sane. constructive
legislation clouded at the outset.
However, the belief in Coolidge luck
still persists, also the public's conf
dence in him. His decision again 10
submit the nomination shows that
he retains his grit. He did not Sc
lect Mr.. Warren without careful con-
sideration and he stands by his con-
clusion. And that's the kind of a
President for US to stand by.

There was a meeting in a public
hall in New York the other night OF
sympathizers with the Russian
soviet methods of government. All
present were understood to be
friends of the present Russian
regime. Much criticism of the
tyranny of other governments was
INDUCED in. but when one of the
speakers admitted in course of his
speech that Russia today does not
Permit free expression Of opinion, he
was all but mobbed and the meeting
was broken up. If the New York
sympathizers act upon such a con-
ception Of what constitutes free
public opinion what may be expected
in Russia? Evidently just what
that country has, a tyranny. in some
respects nearer absolute than was
that under the cZars.
