Mr.. Savage of Androscoggin: Mr..
President. had not intended to say any
thing concerning the passage of this re-
live. listened with a great deal of in
tsrest to the statements that were made
yesterday In regard to the advisability OF
committing the State to the policy which
Is emb odied in the resolve, and that is
the policy of appropriating years in ad-
vance large surs of money to be ex-
pended by board with very little let or
hindrancc 1t is quite true that the re-
solve provides that there are certain OBJ
il cts which the money can not be ex-
Iended for, but outside of the few limita
lions which are embodied in the resolve
the b oard of trustees have authority to
,xpcad it at their own will and pleasure,
OF course for objects which they believe
to be for the interests of the college
There are so many serious consequences

that 1t seems to me that the Senate may
at this point pause and consider the mat
ter anew. ! am u friend of the Maine
State College. | desire to give the Maine
State College every dollar that it can
wisely use, and | desire to err if at all,
on the side of generosity and liberality,
rather than deprive them of money that
they really need.
One reason that did not speak yester-
day in this debate was that / did not
know enough about the institution to
speak intelligently on the subject l
have examined the statement of facts and
have derived from it such Information as
| can, and it is my Judgment today that
neither the pending resolution nor either
of the amendments. which were voted
down yesterday. are acceptable to the
Senate l think that there was an inn
preston that the amounts in the amend
ments were not large enough, and in that
opinion concur. l. desire to offer an
amendment to the pending resolve, do
not know IL il Is wise to proceed to settle
the matter today. 1t is matter of SUI
preme Importance. The Legislature voted
this college $500 d year for the last two
years. Ne are advised that the college
has been cran,ped in its work owing to
tic small amount of these appropriations.
The flrst proposition made to this Legls-
lature was to multiply the last appropria-
zion by six, and to give them perpetual
tax OF one mill The second proposition
il i !, give them sa5,0oo a year for ten
