That the use of the Representatives Hall

day evening next, January 22, for the pur-
pose of delivering lecture upon Arizona.
Mr. Maney: Mr.. Speaker, move, that
the order be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Fogg Mr. Speaker, hope that the |
motion will not prevail. Gentlemen come
and ask, as a matter of courtesy to speak to
the members of the House of Representatives
and deliver an instructive lecture. II is not
for the purpose of stealing your pocket
books it is not for the purpose of swervipg
the good judgment of any of the members of
this House and have no doubt that every |
one that listens to these gentlemen would !
feel well repaid for the time
and attention given to them. 1t is an in
structive lecture. 1t is one wherein you |
learn something of section of your country
that you don't learn about in geography and
that you have no means of ascertaining at the |
present time except by listening to these
practical men who have lived there and know
something about its resources. Now, | say
as matter of courtesy, that We should grant
them the use of the House and 1 have no
doubt that every representative here will feel
well repaid BY coming here and listening to |
the instructive lecture VIII ch will be deliv
cred. | have heard it and although | have
travelled somewhat in the United States and
have visited the State of Arizona, | must say |
was repaid for my time and attention in lis |
tening to the lecture. and hope, gentle men, |
that we shall not pursue that narrow minded
course suggested by the gentleman who |
moved the indefinite p)stponement of the
order. 1t is simply matter of
courtesy. They don't ask for your money, |
they don't ask you to leave Augusta, they |
don't ask you to leave the Kennebec Valley, !
they don't ask to disturb your property or
your family relations, but simply that they |
may deliver lecture on a section of our
country, ond give you some idea of its won
derful resources. say, gentlemen you will |
be well repaid.
Mr.. Peaks of Dover Mr. Speaker, if / /
am in order, and think | am. move to
amend by striking out the word Arizona"
and inserting the words State Of Maine r
Laughter and applause
Mr.. Wakefield of Bath Mr.. Speaker, I
hope the amendment will not prevail. hope
that it will be voted down, and that we shall
take vote on the resolution as offered and
hope that the House will vote it down en-
emphatieally. nave no fear that the
honorable gentleman will take away
our pocket-books, but if they should do that
it would be but a small loss to the state
compared TO what they take from the State
in coming here to convince our young people
that Arizona is the best place to go to. They
are coming here for the express purpose of
