Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1863-11-12
Mr.. Skinner Of Barton, moved 10 amend


this amendment because he believed that
the men would be very likely to be raised
without draft to Gil the States quota, il
such bounty as he proposed, should be
offered, He thought il due to those who
leave their homes and 90 to defend their
country, that such bounties should be
gwen them. Many would be willing 10
leave their homes and families if they
could be provided for as they should be.
If any bounty, then, was to be offered, let
IL oe such n bounty as will secure the OBJ
ject IN view,
Mr.. Daniels of Grafton was opposed TO
the amendment, and to the bill. There
were towns in the State which had raised
their full quotas. They had done this by
paying lar Q bountles, pouring out money
like water, and they were ready to do so
at any time when it became necessary. II
would be better to allow such towns, and
all the towns, to go on in their own way,
than to place the tax on the Grand List
The towns that had not been patriotic
should be left to show their patriotism
without aid from the State.
Mr.. Houston of Victory thought the
hundred dollars offered by the bill without
amendment sufficient. He was in favor
of the passage of the bill as il was, and
did not see the force of the argument pre-
sented by the gentleman from Grafton
against putting the tax on the Grand
LAST. d
