{ and he had not even been notified when the
matter was TO be considered before that
committee. When he hsd inquired Of the
committee their reasons for their action, the
answer was that 1t was class legislation and
was establishing a bad precedent. Ever
since this resolve calling for 81. 900 had been
presented to the House he had heard this
, echo of "elass legislation" and he didn',
believe in establishing this precedent, If it
were precedent, therefore he should vote
against IL.
Mr.. Morse. Of Liberty, considered the sp-
prcpristion far above what it should be.
Mir Talbot of East Machias moved that
the House recedc aud concur with the
Senate.
MIR. Poor OF Schago said that At the COM
menccment OF the session he had voted for
the appointment of the committee. The
House had not at that time had the oppor-
tunity TO make the appropriations that have
since been made. After secing these ridicu-
lous appropriations made when exceeded hy

Mr., Wakefield of Bath said that he was
one of the committee appointed but his busi-
ness was such that he could not attend tho
| celebration. II was right and proper that
there should be- an appropriation made from
the treasury of the State TO pay III, expenses
of the delegation, not because IL would
give these gentlemen u pleasure trip TO
New York, but because the legislature OF
Maine by the concurrent votn of the two
branches had selected this Commission that
WAS TO represent them At the Centennial
celebration. The legislatures of other
States throughout the Union are to be repre-
sentei. II any Committee were called upon

Mr.. Warren of Castine thought that the
people of the State of Maine had some pride
In the matter, and that the legislature should
have pride enough to raise the amount called
for,
Mr.. Chadbournc of Biddeford advocated
the passage of the resolve on the ground of
patriotism and proper observance of our
national institutions.
The question was then upon Mr.. Talbots
motion To rocede and concur with the Senate
in passing the resolve to be engrosscd.
On motion OF Mr.. Allen of Mercer, the
yeas and nays were ordered.

"E were then adopted
The question then REQUIRED upon the pass-
age Of the bill to be engro.-ed as amended.
Mr.. Talbot of East Machiss moved to

Mr.. Talbot said the only law we have on
our Statute book prohibiting the killing Of
| game ia contained in the first nineteen see
'ions Of the thirtieth chapter Of the Revised
Statutes. In those sections it is provided
that the Governor shall appoint in each coun-
| ty moose ard deer warden who shall appoint
| deputies, and hose deputies shall return TO the
warden an account of whatever has been
done under ten Of these nineteen sections,
and the warden shall return TO the secretary
of state, who In turn shalt lay before the
legislature during the first month Of each
regular session an accoun, Of what has been
done. Two years ago he had introduced an
order in the House which was passed unani-
mously, calling upon the Secretary Of State
| To lay before the House what hhd been done
under the ten preceding sections Of that act.
and hi. answer was on file. That law has
been imperative for four years" Thi. year
he had Introduced a similar order and the
answer of the Secretary of State had been.
mo returns whatever have been received
at the secretary's office" IN other words
the only Law by which this process is to be
carried on has been inope rative now for six
years. lie proposed to strike out that part
which gives 10 the f.b warden the right to
enforce the Law as 10 game, because that is
what makes the law wholly imperative. He
had introduced an order two years ago which
had passed unanimously. calling for an item
ized account Of the expenditures made under
this game law. No itemized account had
been furnished and he had been informed
that il was not furnished because il would
take 80 many clerks and 80 much time Of the
Secretary Of State that 1t could not be done
during the session. He had found time to
take OF the amounts hicb had been paid In
, his own county for two years, and he found
that there had been paid in addition to the
salaries Of the warIcns. ez7O0. lie gave an
illustration Of how this amount had been paid
in sum. charged as whole for indefinite
purposes.
line question was then upsl the Adoption
: of the amendment offered by Hr. Talbot.
