zion. have watched this thing for some
time, and L have expostulated against ii
from time TO time in this Senate, this
sending of resolves, petitions, etc, where
they do not belong, and referring them
to committees which have nothing to do
with them. i am beginning TO think
that there is no other committee but the
committee on legal affairs. Everything is
scooped M by that committee. am
tired of this thing Let these resolves
and petitions go where they belong.
Everyone knows that matters pertaining
! to payment of any money on educational
affairs belongs to the committee on educa-
| ton. This resolve relates to this subject,
| and should be referred to the committee
on education.
Mr. Shaw of Aroostook: 1t seems to
me that these frequent references to the
matter of referring petitions, etc, to
wrong committees is altogether uncalled
for. / have been in the Senate for two
sessions and | never have known this
! Senate to send matter to wrong COM
mittee Willingly and knowingly, IL is
| fact that any man may err as to what
committee any paper should go to (; but
mistake on this point is no indication OF
bad faith 1t seems &c me that the Ian
guagc of the senator from Washington
| Is entirely too strong There has boon
no attempt on the part of the legal affairs
committee to ''scoop in all the business
of this Legislature. ] think that until
the Senate refuses to refer any matter 60
any committee to which 1T is asked that
| it should be referred there is no need of
any insiuuations that there is scheme
to bring matters before improper COM
mittees
| Mr.. Hovey of Somerset: This is re
solve which was handed to me just
moment before ! put it in, and am not
! fully aware of its contents, or scope
| There has been no conniving on the part
of the committee on legal affairs to get
| it referred to them. 1t was drawn up by
one of the best lawyers in the state, and
| was endorsed with the name of the COM
mittee on legal affairs, as being the por-
per committee in his opinion to refer 1t to.
| 1t is a small affair, involving the payment
of only s53 and I believe that 1t is q
question of law, whether the plantation is
| entitled to the money or not, and as such
is n question of law for the legal affairs
committee to settle
The vote whereby this resolve was re.
ferred to committee on legal affairs was
reconsidered. and the resolve referred to
committee on education, on motion oil MI
Hume of Washington.
