Pattangall Talks on
Industrial Problems
To Local ROtarians

Hon. William r. Pattangall of
Augusta spoke in an instructive and
interesting way at the meetin~ of
the Waterville Rotary Club at the
Elrwood hotel yesterday noon on
some of the problems confronting
the industrial development of Maine.
At the opening of his address he
spoke of the advantageous position
of Waterville as an industrial GEN.
ter and he declared that industrial
development depended more on the
genius of the people than on the en-
dowments of nature.
On this that has worked to Names
disadvantage, Mr.. Pattangall said,
was the fact th,t it is the most
northeastern state in the union. But
he put no credit in the theories that
industries were to leave the eastern
part of the country in favor of the
South and West and he pointed out
that the population of the north
eastern part of the country is the
densest for any similar area in the
world.
The speaker expressed the belief
that the State had in the past placed
too heavy tax on railroads because
in the end it was the users of the
railroads that paid for the tax in
the high rates charged.
A people to grow great, he de-
clared, must have a year-round oc-
cupation and for this reason the
speaker looked askance at the great
efforts being made to build up the
summer tourist industry in prefer
ence to the manufacturing.
Mr.. Pattangall said that with the
exception of one or two districts of
the State. Maine could not be con-
sidered an agricultural part of the
country. But he said that in COM
petent labor and cheap power Maine
had great possibilities in manufac-
turing.
The speaker devoted some time to
a discussion Of the present water
power situation in the State. His
contention was that If plentiful pow
er be supplied industries will come
into the State rather than pay the
higher rates which would be in
Cured were the power to be shipped
into other states. He declared that
the people of the State have missed
opportunities to develop its water
power in years past, adding that 1t
cannot now afford to repeat the blum
ders of the past. In closing he urged
that the business men of the State
seriously take hold of the troubles
confronting business from the gov
ernmental side and to work together
for the industrial betterment Of the
State.

New York Concerns
Spike RumOrs About
Soap Plant at Bath
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

Especial 10 henneDec JOurndl)
Bath, Me, Feb. 22-The Bon Ami
Company and the oxford Soap Com
pany Of New York City threw a
bombshell into the business outlook
Of Bath Monday afternoon when
they had a statement printed to the
effect that those companies had en-
tered into no contracts through ]. d.
Hallen of Portland, to purchase 20
acres of valuable feldspar lands in
Phippsburg. Their complete denial
spiked the hopes of many people in
the shipping city, where rumor had
been current the last-month that the
big soap concerns were to locate in
Bath.
The Albert B. Storer farm in
Phippsburg contains according to
tests deposits of valuable spar, and
an inexhaustable supply. Rumor
linked the big firms with the deposits
and with plant at Bath, but the
complete denial darkens the already
gloomy forecast. The rumor was
strengthened Thanksgiving Day by
the appearance of an airplane over
the farm which made several surveys
that are now on file in the registry
Of deeds for Sagadahoc county.

Ind. Banks Close
Saturday Nights

indianapolis, Feb. 22-(AP)-The
policy of remaining open on Satur-
day night has been virtually ADAM
doned by Indianapolis banks and
trust companies.
Decreased night patronage was as
signed as one reason. Fear of ban
dts was a secondary motive.
During 1925 there were more finan-
cial houses open in Indianapolis Sat-
urday evenings than in any other
year. many older banks being forced
to try the plan by new competitors.
A years trial, however, convinced
most bankers that the plan derived
benefits for neither the patron nor
