section l5e Of chapter rs Of the Public Lave
Of 1850 - amended BY chapter 20 of the
Public Lars Of 1881, in relation to the
militia. came up by special assignment.
Mr.. Burleigh Of vassalboro moved that
word ''20- be stricken out aai the word 40
substituted.
Vigorous speeches we're made in opposi-
tio1 10 this motion by Messrs- Partangall of
Pembroke, Peaks OF Dover, Wakefield of
Bath, Green of Portland and Barker Of Ban
gor.
These speeches were to the general effect
thar We might as well abolish the militia Of
the State il we should thus reduce the zp-
preparation to less than vas required By the
statutes Even With the proposed amount,
Maize appropriated less money for her militia
than the average State. New Hampshire,
With nearly the same force 1908 men. has
an a. preparation Of s25 600 per year or $40
81 PEI man. Massachusetts, grants m APP
preparation of 5z25 900 to 4sl6 men, or
$3.50 per man. Rhode Island grants an
appropriation OF $4,000 for ll0l men, or
s2l-sz per man. Connecticut grants AZ
appropriation of slls.49l to 2244 men or
$50 81 per capita New Jersey grants $50
"a per man. Maine, with 1904 men and
OTHERS, has an appropriation Of $40 900 or
SAfshS Is pSt Sspfto Aekcu lDt
and at that 6gure would be below any of the
States mentione !. sis.37 per man. Closing
trinu,es were paid to our soldiers
Mr.. Burleigh took the ground that this
apr 3priation would unnecessarily burden
the farmers and tax payers of Maine. He
was as patriotic As any mt mber in the
House, and would vote an appropriation for
soldiers a. quickly 2s any body, but he OBJ
ice ed to this uncalled for aud unnecessary
AZ ,tion. Tea thousand dollars was
sufficient Appropriation for the militia.
