Senator Carter
Argues Against the
Electric Expectation

Senator Charles B. Carter OF Lew
iston ably put forth the arguments
against the exporting of electric pow
err out of the state when he spoke 10
the members Of the WaterSille Rotary
club at their regular meeting at the

being pooled to the advantage OF
manufac turers in other states, espe-
cially those Of the Central West.
The speaker admitted that the Fer
Maid law which is in effect at the
present time was not suitable put ne
said that the people of Maine We're
capable to enact laws which would
protect the industries of the state
more than they were being protected
He was of the belief that Mail has
need of her power and he said that
unless the developed power was used
in the state it could be of little ad-
vanage to Maine people.
In closing Mr.. Carter accused the
executives of the Maine companies OF
a decided change in their policies and
he alleged that they were working
for out Of the-state interests ather
than for those Of Maine.
Herbert l.. Emery gave a very IN
teresting report for the committee on
crippled children. A committee was
appointed to arrange for the field day
which is to be held in the near future
