Reader, >avhere we left off in the last

HELP RATHER THAN HINDER

People criticise lawmakers for
quantity and quality of legislation,
and often with reason. People do
not criticise promoters OF such legis-
lation, as in many instances they
might Justly do, partly because they
do not realize how at fault those
proponents were.
1t is said to be of freqeunt &C.
currence that a bill is introduced in
the Legislature without due prener-
alton, on the assumption that the
committee will draft a proper meas
ure. Instead Of the parties favoring
such legislation finding out just
what it is which they want and
whether their procedure is proper,
they shirk the work of properly pre-
pairing, leaving to the overworked
lawmakers the task of whipping it
into shape.
When there are lot of measures
requiring whipping into shape and
the time is short in which to do 1t
carelessness results and the State
suffers in consequence. 1t might
help If the committees would refuse
to approve measures lacking in
suitable preparation. If they might
do this the public should sustain
them.
A Legislature which receives only
hindrance from the outsiders is
handicapped and would be warrant
ed in refusing to be hindered.

RENDERING GOOD SERVICE

A public with its plate out for an
other serving, a public that is ever
clamoring for a new dish at the
hands Of an inexperienced cook. bet
ter not whine when the bill for the
public's provender comes in. Yet
that is just what the public is ever
doing; that Is just what makes OPP
portunity for certain would-be lead
ers, who wish to attract attention,
to rail against extravaganza. Too
few are of. the opinion Of President
Coolidge that it is better to actually
save small sums here and there than
to theorize about Saving millions,
and never saving.
The Democrat Chronicle of Roches-
ter, N. Y, has been rendering its
readers excellent service in the past
few years by means Of constructive
publicity in its columns respecting
the facts of public expenditures. The
Journal is favored by the receipt of
a very attractive booklet in which
are compiled articles appearing in
the columns of the Democrat
Chronicle under the head: What
one newspaper has done to show the
cost Of government"
The public Of every community is
greatly in need of information about
that for which the public funds are
required. Too often, it seems. peo-
pie do not care to bother their heads
with the facts but are perfectly will
ing to find fault. The people of
Rochester evidently have not by
reason of the publicity given by one
Of their local papers any excuse for
pleading ignorance.

STATE HIGHWAY POLICE

About the time the lawmakers are
leaving the State Capitol for their
homes certain people will be making
their plans for an excursion to
Maine. If they carry out their plans,
as they have been doing the past
few years, some of them will expect
to enrich themselves by the visit,
but not legally or properly. On the
contrary they are scbeming to do
this at the expense Of the property
of the citizens of the State if not
at the cost of life as we'll.
These rascals have learned by
experience that it is comparatively
easy to motor into Maine, in the
season for motoring, blow safe and
motor back to the outside world be-
fore the robbed awake to their loss.
All Of which is not as it should be
and does not place the State in a
favorable light as to enterprise or
ability to have and to hold.
:, Farseeing residents have been con-
sidering ways and means to i'm
prove on this unprotected situation
in which Maine now is. Among
them is Senator Wadsworth and he
has introduced bill which would
empower and INSTRUCT the State
Highway Police to act as a State
constabulary within certain limits.
Under this the appointment Of the
chief would be by the Governor
With the advice and consent Of the
council, the chief to execute the
duties of the Office under their
direction and subject to their ap-
prevail. At present the chief is I'M
der the direct control of the State
Highway Commission.
MAnifestly the number of high
way police will have to be increased
for part Of the year If the force be
required to take over additional
duties and provision should be made
for such an increase. 1t would rest
with the Governor and council to say
what number should be employed in
this service and for the chief to
choose them and be responsible for
their acts.
- Already the State has the ma
chinery for the. force that would be
provided under this bin, the head
quarters open at all hours and ready
for prompt action, so essential for
dealing with the situation. The
plan recommends itself in many
ways, among which are simplicity.
comparative cost and readiness for
immediate application. The need
Of some better method for dealing
with criminality in this State, es-
peeially during the summer months,

THE ENTERING WEDGE

The entering wedge is one of the
most effective weapons of offense in
the varied arsenal OF propagandists.
Through the national Congress they
seek an appropriation Of the coun-
try's money to be divided among the
States, provided the latter, however
much or little they may have con-
tributed to the general fund ap-
propriated by Congress, appropriate
some more to do what the pro-
ponents wish to have done in that
particular State Of which they may
or may not be residents. Through
appeals to patriotism, to emotion
and sentiment they work their way
to the crib.
Some of. these plans have merit,
more or less, but they are not put
forward on their merit alone. 1t is
good for States to have good roads,
good schools, good health. Indeed
the benefit of these advantages are
sufficiently great to warrant the
States in inaugurating and sup
porting them. But some have not
the funds they think they need for
such undertakings. Here comes in
the scheme for taking from the
weather. States and supplying the
poorer.
A fair distribution of wealth is,
under suitable conditions, an excel
ont hut t174 Il It'll TO-
through the channels of bureaus in
Washington often is open to objec-
ton. The propagandists know this
and to get around it they have SO
arranged that if the State will not
accept the dole, which they hand
out. they can reply: Well, you'll
have to contribute to the general
fund whether you get back your
share or not. If you do get it back
you'll have to raise and spend what
we bureaucrats tell you to spend
and in such way as we prescribe"
- Now there are advantages to be
gained under these methods. There
also is a likelihood that the State
1. will come to disregard its own re-
sponsibilities and look to the Federal
Government for management of its
affairs and the administration of its
funds.

such arrangements have: as a rule,

charge, and adopted a report which
declared that the Senator Mn ques-
ton was innocent. This act by the
Senate was a dangerous. indefensi-
bic intrusion into the realm Of the
judicial power. Nothing like it has
ever been known. The effect. if not
the intent. of the action was to in
tinlidate the courts in the admins
tration of justice.
Whether or not the Senate has
now permitted this still gross and
intolerable proceeding for the pur-
pose Of preventing any developments

virtually saying to the Attorney Cen
eral: Il have the power to prevent

The people of the United States
will pass Judgment upon this indi-

gene beyond the stage of individual
misconduct. 1t has >become a aues-

their resolution objection to federal

merit in that plan, also that it is
being initiated by planners not sup

brighter. Then we may be able to

ever it be disguised. and realize
