Dear Editor:
In this mornings edition OF your
paper [ read that the committee OH
salaries and fees of the Legislature,
advise against increasing the salary
of DIR. Thomas.
AS a State we find no difficulty in
providing funds for a state of Maine
Building" to be erected at Spring
field, Mass. Neither do we think it
impossible to raise funds for the ad-
Vertisirg the resources of Maine, or
for building a State radio station
But when it comes to increasing the
salary of one of the States most
efficient servants, the committee on
salaries and fees voice their disap-
prevail.
We may need a State of Maine
building at Springfield, Mass. and
we may need to advertise the re-
sources of Maine. but it is my
humble opinion that we need the
services of DR.. Thomas far more
than we do building at Springfield
or to advertise the resources of our
State.
Are the material resources of
Maine of more value to our State
than the services of able and efficient
PUBLIC officials, such as DIR. Thomas?
Are we forgetting that me of DR..
Thomas type are Names greatest
assets? How can we call our
state progressive State II we per-
init ourselves to lose a man Of DR..
Thomas ability?
II we as a State can afford to
raise funds for the purposes which
have already named. why isn't it
possible to increase the salary of DR..
Thomas?
In considering this question, we
should not say that the State can
not afford to increase the salary of
Or. Thomas. rather we should ASS
