NOT GUESSING RIGHT

And now they say Oxford County
Democrats are even more apathetic,
than are Republicans. that Oxford
is "spotty." whatever that would
mean.
} Apathy IS one Of those spots which
spread unless attended to. Presum-
ably that is as likely to happen in
Oxford as elsewhere.
Apathy toward matters political,
unfortunately, isn't restricted to any
county or town, nor to any party.
It is both insidious and pervasive
when half the voters in this country
fail to vote at Presidential election.
1t would seem a larger percentage
of people by equal effort and expen-
diture Of money, might be enthused
to establish homes for INDECENT cats
In the days when mama fell for
sustenance Of the Isrealites doubt
less many assumed it never again
would be necessary to bring in fuel
for baking bread. They didn't guess
right. We are not guessing right if
we conclude we can continue to en-
Joy good government and have hon
est officials without attending to the
matter.

Editorial Comment
Local and State Finances
(Lewiston JournaD

MAYOR McLEAN'S INDIFFER-
ENCE not to say his evidence Of
pique. in respect to the promises of
Gov. Brewster to reduce taxes in
1927 is perhaps explained by the
suggestion that he does not approve
Of lessening taX-burdens. We have
no criticism of Mayor Mclean for
increasing taxes in Augusta where
he has been mayor for some time.
One always has a choice of spending
all he can raise or saving something
out of what has been raised. Gov
ernor Brewster pursueS one course
Mayor Mclean another.
FOR IT APPEARS FROM IN
VESTIGATIONS made by the Lew
iston journal at Augusta that our
assumption that Mayor Mclean
HAD reduced taxes was wrong. We
supposed that anyone who talked SO
stoutly about finance and SURPRISES
had also a warm friendliness for
them and also a fondness for low
er tax-rate. Now! don't misunder-
stand us at all. We have no criti-
cisms of Mayor Mclean as mayor Of
Augusta. We have no doubt he has
made a fairly good mayor-tho we
have not read anything about it in
the Literary Digest as Yet. But why
didn't he reduce taxes? He didn't
want to, probably. We assume that
of course he COULD have done so
if he had seen fit. He seems to talk
that wayl
IT DOES SEEM STRANGE,
HOWEVER that the report of the
G
not have been filed as yet as com
handed by law. Mayor Mclean
should have attended to this, one
may be so bold as to say. If he can
make a State Auditor do his duty, he
ought to be able to make a City
Auditor do his duty also. The Law
(see Chap. 8, r. s. COMMANDS
the report to be filed on or before
August l. It has not yet been filed
and it is three weeks overdue. Why!
Up in Augusta they say that they
expect the coming years tax-rate to
be 40 mills. 1t was 40 mills four
years ago. The valuation has also
been put up 10 per cent. in that time.
The commitment of taxes has in
creased $4,000 in these four years.
Well-somehow we believe that
Ralph Brewster with his old-fash-
OneQ nOlIoHS VI Saving HlOileS, CIV
tho Mr. Holmes calls it 'robbing the
people," has a better public-policy
than that. And alas! we are begin
ming to think that Mayor Mclean
Is not even a first class, prudent,
economic mayor. Of course the an
swer will be to show what he has
done-but somehow we want to see
economies just the same. Anyone
can spend money! We could buy
Rolls Royce if we could get the cash.

TRAINING FOR FUTURE WAR

Training as f1re-fighters was not
what the batteries Of the 1921 Regt-
ment came to Camp Keyes to get
but it is what they got in plenty
while struggling to subdue the con-
flagration on Sidney bog started by
an explosive shell.
Possibly this training, unpleasant
though it may be and unexpected
though it was. will not prove value
less. The wars of the future are ex-
pected to shower down from the
skies bombs to poison and inf1ame
the whole countryside. Eating
smoke" will then be easy in COM
parison to encountering it laden with
deadly gases.
A very grim and hideous thing is
to be the war of the future, even
though the half predicted by the
chemists be not fulfilled. They see
the decision of war to come through
the use of poison gas. The prospect
is lightened only by the possibility
that war must necessarily prove of
short duration.

AN ESSENTIAL LACKING

It seems as certain as anything
may, II high wages and short hours
are to be maintained along with
plenty of employment in the in
dustries of this country, that way
must be found to increase efficiency.
Reports indicate that something
has been accomplished toward this
end. The instances Of the necessary
cooperation between the brains as
we'll as the Drawn of the employe
and the judgment and experience Of
the employe are as yet sporadic
rather than general. And so far as
the building trades Of New York City
are concerned this essential appears
to be utterly lacking.
The chairman Of the Board Of
Governors Of the Building Trades
Employers Association states that
every increase in wages in the last
20 years in that city has reduced
labor efficiency. He adds:
"a day Of reckoning is coming
when there will be two men for
every job, instead Of two jobs for
every man." He said permits for
buildings in this city in 1925 amount
ed to $1,115,027,0 59, gain of S14S,-
924,s10 since 1928, and that en-
ployers believed labor was taking an
undue share of this. Mr.. Norman
declared that since 1914 living costs
have increased Is per cent, while
wages have jumped from 125 to 300
per cent. He told the commits
sion that when a bricklayer received
$3.50 to Sc a day he laid from 1900
to 100 bricks, but that now, when
he gets $14 a day, an employer is
lucky If LOO bricks are placed.
He attributed this largely to the
method of excluding union labor out
side the city from working there.
thus causing scarcity. OF course
there will come day Of reckoning.
Never yet in this country has it
been possible for any aggregation Of
either wealth or Of skill to "hog it"
unfortunately. Meanwhile, however,
other labor in New York city and in
/ every place having relations with the
business Of that metropolis must pay
tribute. Excessive cost of construc-
ton causes excessive costs for all
who occupy the buildings construct
ed, be they laborers or concerns do
ing business. The excess becomes
, part Of the overhead" which any
successful business must pass on to

IT wonder what sort Of an ad-
venture I will have today" thought
the little rabbit, as he went clipperty
clip, lipperty lip through the Sunny
Meadow. By and by he reached the
Bubbling Brook, in the shallow
places Of which along the bank
stood the stately Cardinal Flowers
Yes, indeed, they belonged to a very
stately family and held their heads
very high, hardly deigning to bow
even when Billy Breeze whistled In
the treetops. Just then the bunny
boy noticed pretty yellow butterfly
busily slipping honey from one Of the
big crimson flowers.
Hello. hello!" cried the rabbit lad
Our little laddie bunny,
II guess I'll suck a lollypop
While you are slipping honey"
"This Is my first breakfast" said
Yellow Butterfly.
What, are you a baby butterfly
asked the curious little rabbit.
mot exactly" answered Yellow
Butterfly, although only yesterday
morning I was Caterpillar"
What. One of those hairy little
Caterpillars that crawl slowly over
grass and leaves?" asked the bunny
boy.
Maybe I'd better explain" went
on Yellow Butterfly. About nine
days ago I spun a snug little green
chrysalis. Up to that time l was
little hairy Caterpillar, crawling
about as you have just said. After
I had been in the chrysalis for eight
days, for that is as long as any OF
my family ever hang in the chrysalis
l knew it was about time to tear II
open. I could feel the new wings
which had been growing from my
back, but in my tight little greer
house with white wrinkles. l could
not move them. 1 also knew that
belonged to the second brood that
had Matched this year and that
must get out while the days were still
fine and hot. So I crawled out of my
newlymade doorway to take my first
flight"
why didn't you fly out?" asked
the wondering little rabbit.
Because my wings were so wet
and crinkIed that they wouldn't work
at ALL" answered Yellow Butterfly
Besides, 1 still had six legs left
