Time Has Come
To Set*Forth Mission
Of Universalist Church
Say* Rev. A. Franci* Walch of Au
gusta in Discussing the Exclusion
of the Universalist Church from
Participation in the Interehureh .
Movement
Rev. A. Francis 'Walch. pastor of the :
W.nthrop Street Universalist church. ’
says retraining the Universalist*" stand .
on the Interchurch Movement:
"In excluding the Universalist church :
from participation in the Interchurch
movement, this organization has forced
upon the Universalist church a new
defense of its position and a campaign j
of denominational activity.
‘ When the Inferchurch movement was 1
projected, the trustees of the Universal
iat General Convention unanimously in- |
dorsed It and appointed a committee to ■
represent the denomination in the coun- !
cil of the Interchurch organization. ;
I-ater, the Universalist church was in- |
formed by those at the head of the
movement that the Universalist commit- .
tee would not be recognized, as the j
Universalist church was excluded from
all cooperation. The Universalist i
church, therefore, is not out of the In- i
terchurch movement because It was
unwilling to go in. It is out of it, in ]
fpite of its expressed desire to cooper- ,
ate. The time has come to set forth
and set out squarely and decisively the .
particular and definite reason for the I
existence of the Universalist church and :
the mission which it undertakes in the I
world."

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting of Governor and Cou ncil 10 A. M.. Wednesday, May 12
Benjamin F. Cleaves of Biddeford,
hairman of the Maine Public Util
ities Commission, declared Saturday
that upon the whole he believed that
the rates, service and practice situa
tion as relates to public utilities in
the State of Maine is upon a relative
ly fair basis.
“We have had occasion in the past
to say something with reference to
o-operation between public serv.ee
ompanies. their customer- and this
tommission,*’ said Chairman Cleaves.
"As we have discussed matters ;
I'ith a very large number of individ
uals who are officers or members of
public service companies, we have
become each year more convinced
.hat the antagonism of the customer ,
toward-the company, which formerly;
ivas very considerable, resulted from
.he failure on the part of the cus
tomer to fully appreciate just what |
were his rights and his obligations ,
ind just what were the responsible- 1
ties’ and duties of the public service ;
company. And along with that j
hough? came the conviction that a !
part. ar.d perhaps a large part, of the ■
Pity of the commission was to edu- !
tale th'’ “public service companies so
that they would fully understand ex
ictly what they owe to their custo
ners and to educate the customer so
that he would understand, in as full
Measure as possible, just what were
his rights and just what were his ob
igations.
"There was a time when perhaps a
majority of the customers of a public
service company actually believed
that the company could improve, ex
tend and better its service without
noreasing the price which is charged,
rhere seems to be a sort of belief
hat the company possessed the om
pipotent power of reaching out into
he atmosphere and obtaining funds
t>r else there existed a belief that a
particular company, through rates
barged, was growing rich and could
veil afford to give more and better
service. Under commission repula
ion it is now understood and believed
hat no public service company, will
pe permitted to earn more than a
lair return upon the value of the
property it is devoting to the public
service.
"it is known and believed that the
■xpenditures of each such company
ire carefully scrutinized by account -
ints of the commission and that no
snwarranted or illegal expenditure is
permitted. In other words, it is now
•'ery generally understood that no
matter how much ‘watered stock'
there may have been issued £>y any
particular company, no matter how
over-bonded such company may be,
neither the amount o£ stock or bonds
outstanding has any controlling in
fluence upon the amount which the
company is legally entitled to earn. '
The statute says that the company is
entitued to a fair return upon the
fair value of its property.' This
takes no account of capitalization and
looks only to actual value. Operat
tnc expenses must be reported to the
commission in very great detail. Any
increase in rates is likely to be the
subject of an investigation and hear
ing during which the company is re
quir'd by law to justify the increase.
' In the beginning some public ser
vice companies did not take kindly
to regulation. Hom»' attempts were
made to conceal from thf commis
sion the true state of their affairs.
This attitude upon the part of any
public service company has notv en
tirely changed and at this time we
know of no company but is attempt
ing to obey the law. We also hope
and at times almost believe that a
majority of the customers of these
public utilities feel that they, under
commission regulation, are receiving
relatively fair treatment. Now and
then we are brought in contact with
some individuals or group of mdi
v .duals who seem to have no desire
to obtain information or be reason
able. In such circumstances as this,
the commission must be contended jo
perform its plain duty and rely upon
the enlightened judgment of those j
who want to understand for justifi- j
cation.
There are some isolated sore spots
which the commission 1ms in mind
and which it intends to treat. Our
work is not at all times pleasant, for
the performance of our duty often
times requires us to deny the request
of persons with whom we. as in
dividuals. are personally friendly and
'Vith whom we have enjoyed perhaps
a life-long acquaintance. On the
other hand, we have the satisfaction
of an individual conviction that wo
have been performing our full duty ’
in strict accord with the law and.
in so far as the law will permit, have '
established and maintained equality. ;
justice and "fair and reasonable treat
ment.”
Physical Education Plans
Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, State
superintendent of public schools, has
sent a communication to all superin- i
tendents and principals stating that j
plans and specifications have not!
Na says -
whenever
she wants me
to hurry back
from the
grocery store
she heads the
list with
Post Toasties
been completed for the physical edu
cation program for the coming yc-ar.
■ It is my intention to call together
within a short time the physical ed
ucation directors and supervisors in
our normal schools, in the colleges
and in the university, those who are
in public school work and superin
tendents and principals who are in
terested,” says Dr. Thomas in his
communication.
' This conference will have for its
consideration the crafting of the
complete program which we hope to
have ready for distribution in June.
The program will include not only
physical exercises, recreation and
play but a program of health instruc
tion. We hope to make physical ed
ucation mean all that it implies.
"Owing to the fact that it would be
impossible for us to secure a corps
of supervisors and directors for the
coming year we shall hope to outline
a somewhat elementary course for
the first year, strengthening year by
year until we reach the most satis
factory- development. It is probable
that witfJn a year we shall have fed
eral firsrcmial assistance which wiil
make it possible for us to develop
the right sort of a system.
"You will be interested to know
also that we shall endeavor in the
^anmer schools and in the special in
stitutes next fall to carry to the
teachers of the State sufficient train
ing to enable the regular teachers to
take up in most instances the work of
the program.
"Full manuals ef regulations, re
quirements. etc., will not be readv
until June. There are. however, sev
eral towns in which provision for
supervisors and directors is being
made. In such instances it will be
well to bear in mind the qualifications
for such positions. Supervisors or
directors should have tw'o years of
college work or the equivalent and
In addition or in connection a special
course in physical education in a
standard school.”
Fish and Gams
Commissioner W. E. Parsons of
the Inland Fisheries and Game De
partment has ordered a hearing for
7.30 P. M. on Tuesday. May 11 at
the rooms of the Springvale Fish
and Game Club to consider the re
peal of so much of the rules and
regulations as prohibit fishing from
the shore in the summer in Little
field's pond in the town of Sanford.
The commissioner will also hold
several conferences on this trip in
York county on important matters
connected wi^i fish and game con
servation.
He will also soon promulgate
regulations closing Dodge pond in
IUtBgeley to all except fly fishing.
Forest Commissioner Forrest H
Colbv has returned from a tour of
inspection along the Canadian
Pacific Railway and found things in
a first-class condition, the railroad
officials co-operating to the high
est degree with the department.
Commissioner Colby traveled in the
private car of \Y. Garland, the as
sistant superintendent of the Me
gantic-St. John Branch from Som
erset Junction west to the boundary,
returning the next day as far as

' The Members of the Third Maine In
fantry. who will be mobilised at Camp
Devens at Ayer. Mass , on June 2. pri
mary day in Maine, will be allowed to
vote, according to an announcement
made Saturday by Secretary of State
Frank W. Bail. The Third Maine con
sists of 12 lettered companies, a Head
quarters Company, Supply Company.
Machine Gun Company and a band. It .
is expected that 1300 men from this State
> will be in camp at Devens on primary
; day and of course at this time it is hard j
to determine how manv are voters. Ad- ;
' jutant General George McL. Presson |
has ordered the various commanding
officers to prepare a list of the voters
: in their outfits for the department of •
■ slate.
This will not be the first time that the
soldiers from Maine will vote, for the i
members of the old Second Maine Regi
ment cast their ballots in Mexico in
the election of 1916. and the Maine units
at Camp Devens and other places vo'ei
both in the primary election in June and
the regular State election in September,
ISIS.
Deputy Secretary of State Henry A.
. Shorey Jr., who is in charge of the bai- 1
lots, stated Saturday that the law re
quires that not less than 91 ballots shall
be sent to a city, town or plantation for
every' 50 votes cast for governor in the j
preceding State election. Deputy Shorey ;
is planning to send more primary bal
lots this year, for it might happen that ■
at the very last minute the women mav j
be permitted to vote, and he is thus pre- I
paring for this contingency. In all. ISA- j
72) Republican ballots and 22.240 Demo- i
cratic ballots will be sent throughout j
the State, the Republican ballot being j
white and the Democratic ballot yellow
in color.
Secretary of State Ball will probably '
send someone from his office to Camp I
Dever.s with the ballots for the soldiers.
