Voice Of The People Lobby For Home Rule Are you aware that tha citijcns of the District of Columbia have no voice in electing those who govern their lives, lhat they have no local government as nc know jt here in Portland? Yet they pay taxes a wo all do. which In a sense is undemocratic, unfair and very back- ward, in this day and age. Because of this The Full Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Represer.tlves has approved mean- ingful legislation to give to the residents of th« District of Columbia substantial self-determination over local issues that affect their lires. To set up local govern- ment. This bill is most important and vs- lal to the C:ti7ene of D.C. and w com- monly called the Home Rule Bill (H.R. 9642) The bill is scheduled to be heard on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington, Oct. 10. so now is a good time in which to write your Representa- tive expressing your support of the Home Rule Bill. Write: The Honorable Peter V Kyros, House of Representatives. Washington, D.C. 20515 Dump The Commission Of the many things in need of change today, we (myself, ray family, and many friends) feel the most critical need at this time is the abolishment of the Maine Milk Commission. 1 know of nothing more preposterous than a publicly funded body being the direct cause of the public being grossly overcharged for the product they regu- late — the very same public who funds them. We expect to pay money for a service but this Commission Is doing us a dis- service. I am sure you are aware that Maine milk is far cheaper in New Hampshire then it is in Maine Negative trans- portation costs? They must back those milk trucks all the way to New Hamp- shire. There is also a great discrepancy in liquor prices, but this is another mis- sion. The Information I am inquiring for is what legal steps we must take to disband the Maine Miik Commission in tho most expeditious way possible. We are -n hopes either the governor or our state legal department can and will advise us as soon as possible regarding this mat- ter. Andrew N.

Industry Will Fight For By BOB CUMMINGS Staff Writer ORONO — Woods industry o! fielals Friday served notice that they won': give up their rights to harvest timber on public lots without a fight. “We have the rights to the timber and grass until such time as a township :s organized for bona f:d« settlement pur- poses,” insisted Morris Wing. ‘Public weed lands manager of Inter- national Paper Co m Jay and president of the Maine Paper Industry Information Office His remarks came as a spe- cial legislative committee on public lands he'd the second in a series of Searings on the 4C0,- 00) acres of public reserved lands. The committee is seeking ways to legally return to the public the culling rights the state sold for a few cents aa acre a century ago. Under the original deeds, the cutting rights end when a town- ship becomes an organized town or plantation, and a study by an assistant attorney general claims the best way to recover the rights is to organize the townships where the land it located into towns or plantations. But Wing said this is improp- er unless the new plantations stem from populations pressures rather than jus: the desire for the public to get back its land. W i r. g and other industry spokesmen also said however, that the wildlands where the publ c lots are located will nev- er be populated under the present policies of the Und- owners. They fold the committee that they discouraged settlements in the midlands because people Timber Rights hamper wood harvesting oper- ations. People clutter up the roads used by trucks hauling logs or.d pulpwwod and complain about woodcutting destroying recre- ational values, the industry rep- resentatives said. Bradford S. Wellman, an offi- cial of Seven Island Land Co., summed up the prevailing vjew; ■'Generally speaking, we feel that people in permanent facil- ities have a restrictive influence on logging For this reason, de- velopment has to be limited. Other companies similarly told of refusing to sell land and otherwise restricting year-round residents in the bulk of the ter- ritory where the public lards arc located.
