Bill an act authorizing the killing of deer
in close time under certain circumstances,
referred by the Senate to the committee
on inland fisheries and game in non-con
currence came back from the House, the
House insisting and asking for a COM
mittee of conference.
Mr. Higgins of york: As l remarked
before it is better that these matters
should be referred to the committees
where they belong. | know of matters
relating to the same subject, that have
been referred to different committees at
the same time Now, the position we
shall be in if these committees come in
and give contrary reports to each other is
that weNshall have to select between the
two committees. 1t seems to me that
this matter belongs to the committee on
inland fisheries and game.
Mr. Hovey of Somerset: On looking
this matter over | see how it may be
thought to relate to matters that should
come before the committee ON inland
fisheries and game, but as il relates prin-
cipaliy to the destruction of grain, and
is designed more to protect the grain
than to permit the killing of game, it
seems to me that perhaps it ought more
properly to go TO the committee on
agriculture.
Mr. Higgins of York: This bill proposes
to modify the law in regard to the killing
of deer: it has relation to a change in the
game laws, and do not think that these
laws should be changed without refer
ence to the committee on fisheries and
game | move that the Senate insist and
join in a committee of conference.
Mr. Wiggin of Aroostook-I claim
that this it is a matter that is directly in
line with the concerns of agriculture, and
| claim that the committee on agricul-
ture should have the right to express
their opinion on it. l have not the slight
est idea as to what my opinion on the
matter itself will be- but this is bill
which in its essence pertains to agricul-
tural interests, and which should go to
the committee on agriculture.
Mr. Morrill, of Cumberland: | for one
am opposed to having this bill referred
to the committee on agriculture. The fish
and game committee it seems to me-,
is the proper committee for it to go to.
wish to leave the matter in the hands
of the proper committee.
Mr. Hovey of Somerset moved that the
Senate recede and concur with the House
in the reference of this bill.
Motion lost, 4 to IL.
The motion of Mr.. Higgins was then
carried and the President appointed
Mcssrs. Higgins, Day and Morrill, mem
bers of the committee of conference on the
