Those who voted in the negative
were Brown, of Spokane, Purdy and
WeatherfOrd. Brown, in opposing the
measure said: Gas l understand it,
these gentlemen found out that this
building wasn't large enough, so they
constituted themselves into an execu-
tive, legislative or some other kind OF
body, and concluded that the State
needed an addition to its building.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, my house up in
Spokane county is too small for my
large and growing family, and upon
the same principle some kind neigh
Dor might get in during my absence
and build big addition to the house.
Is there any reason or justice why,
when l came back, / should have to
dig down in my pockets and pay out
all the money have for this addition?
tell you it would be dangerous ever
to leave home under those circum-
stances, for every time came back /
might find new wing to my house as
big as all outdoors"
The illustration of the gentleman is
exceedingly faulty. If Mr.. Brown,
while absent from home had been
blessed with an increase of family for
which he had not made adequate pro-
vision and which nececsitated the
building of " new wing" to his house
or providing new cribs or nursing bot
ties, we apprehend that he would not
take it amiss If kind neighbOrs sup
piled these deficiencies, could they not
be obtained in any other way, nor
would he hesitate to pay the reasona-
BILE cost of such necessities, with
thanks to those who had extended the
OppOrtune aid.
