In the Maine Woods is more than an information manual.

Public Money for Public Purposes Only, No State Aid to Private Institutions: Message of Percival P. Baxter, Governor of Maine, to the Eighty-first Legislature, February 7, 1923
Get PDFThe Eighty-first Legislature has an unusual opportunity to stand for a great principle that is one of the foundation stones of this Republic. That principle is, that public money shall be used only for public purposes; in other words, that money taken from the people as taxes shall not be used for private purposes, no matter how worthy they may be.
In my Inaugural Address of January 4th I called attention to the rapid growth of the practice of granting State Aid to private schools, private hospitals and other institutions under private management. At that time I placed this question squarely before the Legislature and the people of Maine. The discussion that has ensued has assumed State wide proportions. This is well, for a vital principle needs to be discussed in every home and shop so that the truth that underlies it, if truth there be, may be brought to light.
Opposition has been aroused, misinformation has been spread abroad, and prejudices have been appealed to. The more the grain is beaten the sooner will the chaff be threshed out and blown away. There is no issue before our people of greater importance than this. Economy, water powers, roads and all other questions will take subordinate positions once the State Aid issue is thoroughly understood.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1161/thumbnail.jp

The Morrison family
Get PDFIntroduction
Is your name Morrison? If so, it is something of which to be proud. Instead of being a common, ordinary, everyday, meaningless cognomen that name is very old and very distinguished. It is such that it would be an arduous task indeed for a person to live up to it for according to tradition you are of the royal blood of Norway.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1030/thumbnail.jp
