our government offer thems They offer
them no protection at all except the
American flag. The other class are en-
rolled vessels. Our government gives
them protection. They say foreign vessels
shall not come upon our coast and trans
mort our cargoes Gentlemen, that is
right. Let me say right here the Demo
cratic party proposes to give us free trade
and free ships, but thank God, they won't
live long enough to accomplish it. ZAP
plause.)
We have in our town some $40, 900 In
shipping that is taxed. In 10 years we
would have but $1,000 without the amend
ment and in Is years it would be struck
out entirely. After the hearing before
the committee, went home to my friends.
They thought had antagonized their in
terest in this regard. / explained to them
the way understood the bill and amend
ment which l proposed, and asked them
IL they would not think it over for week
until came back again. They said they
would. When / returned home next time,
Mr.. William Peaslee, a master shipbuilder
and man who is appointed by the Ameri-
can Ship Masters Association to inspect
vessels under construction, came to me
and said that he had accused me wrong
fully, that he had thought this matter
over and that the bill and amendment
which proposed was just and fair and
that he was satisfied with 1t. The amend
ment Is the same amendment that has
been offered in the Senate. What ask is
that you adopt this amendment with tie
bill and give 1t a passage to relieve the tax
payers OF the State as well as the ship
builders, and encourage them to give us
new vessels to transport our cargoes on
the high seas. (Applause.)
The pending question being on the
adoption Of Senate amendments A and b,
both were adopted, and on motion of Mr..
Twitchell Of Bath, the bill received its
third reading and was passed to be en-
crossed as amended.
On motion of Mr. Haines of Waterville.
reports A b and G, on bill an act amenda-
tory Of and additional to chapter 40, Re-
vised Statutes, relating to fish and fish
cries. was taken from the table.
Mr.. Haines moved that the House con-
cur with the Senate in the adoption of re-
port b.
Mr.. Haines explained that report B pro-
vides for the creation of commission OF
inland fish and game, to consist of three
persons, two of whom shall receive salary
of $1,000 year, and the other the land
agent 1t provides that the commissioners
shall have authority ON the petition of five
or more citizens, to regulate the time and
place and the circumstances under which
game and fish may be taken. They can
90 to different parts of the State and close
a brook or lake or stream, where it is
deemed necessary in order that the fish
may be given a chance to multiply. The
passage of this measure will stop a large
amount of private and special legislation
in regard to fish and game. There are
now in the hands of the committee on in
land fish and game about 100 bills which
1t will not be necessary to consider if this
bill B passes.
Mr.. Gilbert of Canton said he was salts
fled with the bill b, with the exception of
section 4, requiring game wardens to give
bond of $4,000. He thought $500 would
be sufficient, as the wardens would not
be able to get bonds of $4,000 in many
cases. Mr. Gilbert moved to amend by
striking out $4,000 and changing it to
$1,000.
The question being on the adoption of
report B with the bill accompanying, in
concurrence with the Senate,
It was agreed to.

Mr.. Lawrence raised the point of order
that the amendment was not germane tt

The Speaker: This resolve appropriates
money to furnish suitable working capital
for manufacturing industries, SIS, 900, in
the State prison. The gentleman from
Bangor offers an amendment that none OF
the articles manufactured there shall bt
sold at retail. The money is being ap

there manufactured must necessarily be
germane to the question.
