KEEP UP WITH AUTOMOTlVE
lNIQUITY

Even the Federal Government is
waking up to the fact the automobile
is contributing to criminal activities
and Dean Pound expects the flying
machines to be likewise productive.
Frauds under the Federal Bank
ruptcy Act are found to be increas-
ing and the investigators conclude
that automobiles and motor trucks
facilitate the transportation of goods
out of reach of the creditors.
After the Government has been
baffled long enough in it's investiga-
tions some remedy may be had.
though by that time, following the
usual Government procedure. air
planes or possibly airships will have
replaced the automobile in the prac-
tise Of these iniquities.

Editors Letter Box
Shall State Keep Faith9

Shall the State of Maine keep faith
with it's citizens.
A short time ago an editorial ap-
peared in the Kennebec Journal stat
ing that the so-called Augusta Belfas st
highway, Route No. 1O2, might be
abandoned, and another route laid
out, parallel to this but five or six
miles south. This would not be re-
location of a road, as generally con-
sidered, for 1t would not serve any of
the people on the present route.
Route 102 was laid out more than
IL years ago as a part of State sys-
TENS of roads. At that time and at
no time since has the question arisen
as to the best general location of this
road. There were reasons why this
route was selected and the same rea-
sons still remain:
LIST. 1t is the regular Travelled road
from Augusta to Belfast.
I'd. 1t passes along the shore of six
beautiful lakes with summer cottages.
Sd. 1t passes through the populous
towns of this section especially China,
Palermo and Liberty, that would not
be accommodated by any other route.
4th. 1t Is adjacent to the best
farms and farm land of this section.
5th. Long stretches of good road
have already been built along this
route which would more than offset
any shortening the distance.
9Th. 1t serves a local need for Au-
gusta, Belfast as no other location
can.
But above all other reasons, the
State of Maine through its highway
commission, should keep faith with
it's citizens.
This location has been promised and
assumed for more than IL years.
Two bond issues have been voted,
assuming this road was some time to
be built.
The citizens along the route have
offered literally to FURNISH material,
and to aid in every way.
The reasons given for this change
are that the Federal engineers have

ITALT UNDER. MussoLINI

According to all accounts, Musso-
lini Is either an angel of light or
a demon of darkness, and 1t Is hard
for the average American reader to
determine which Boston Globe.
The Americans, who are SO situat-
ed as to be most impressed by the
ecopomic conditions that appear to
have been brought about in Italy
under Mussolini's regime, are speak
ing favorably of his rule. Evidently
they are not needing so much the
logicSof dictatorship as they are
the immediate concrete results.
Recently returned from a visit in
Italy James J. Phelan of Hornblower
& Weeks declares that Italy "has
made tremendous strides under Mus
soline the past two years. The
people of Italy are back of Musso1ini
intellectually" He believes the
country is now established on a
sound basis and is working hard
He found France prosperous but the
government poo. Germany coming
along nicely" He was much i'm
pressed with the admirable manner
in which England handled the strike
and looks for notable improvement
there. In our country he considers
the conditions good, very good" to
be exact. IF we follow the policies
laid down by the Administration
particularly one of economy, I can
not see anything ahead of us but
good, sound business for a long time
to come" he tells the Boston News
Bureau.
Carl Dreyfus Of Boston writing the
Boston Herald from Italy is very
pronounced in his praise of condi.
lions which he attributes to Musso-
lini. In less than four years q bud
get deficit has become q surplus
labor courts have been created, idle
lands have been put to use. great
strides have been made in compul
sorry education, and Mr.. Dreyfus Il
satisfied that the people of Italy Of
all classes enter ain not only "s
high personal regard for Mussolini
but sincere love for and pride ir
Italy-for her past glorious history
and for the great future that lies
ahead" He declares al Duce" ha!
not torn down institutions but ha.
strengthened them, increased respec
| for law and order and has the love
of the people.
We hope these American observer.
have not been deceived by their i'm
pressions. Indeed the weight of the
evidence all along has been thai
Mussolini for the present Is con
tributing to economic welfare by hi!
methods. AS to the future it would
be idle for the American stay-at

that the world has experienced

Why Hold Back Pay?

Editor Kennebec journal:
Dear Sir:
In behalf of some rs men I wish to
ask you to explain through the X. j.
why, under the laws of Maine, 1t is
that the men, who work on the Bel
fast State road now under construc-
ton in Belmont, under H. A. Day, are
kept from their pay three weeks.
Under the present system man is
obliged to work three weeks before
he gets any pay. At the end of this
time he gets pay for his first week
and that for two weeks is held back
all the time. Now this is a great in
convenience as all need their money
after they earn 1t and we % not un-
derstand this to be lawful and wish
you to explain.
Very Respectfully
