ORDERS OF THE DAY.
On motion by MIR. Stearns of ofAroostook.
Oakiield was taken from the table.
MIR. Stearns: I wish to say. Mr.. Presi-
dent. that | make this motion by con-
sent of Senator Sharp Of Aroostook. up
on whose motion this document now lies
on the table. l wish to offer an amend
ment and in explanation of that let me
say. Mr.. President. that the last section
of this act names divers of persons who
are alleged to be State paupers. Now the
penalty of poverty In pauperism Is sufii-
cicntly severe. II seems to me, SO that II
ought not to be perpetuated In the act
that will forever be the basis of this
towns organization. 1t seems to me that
this act containing the names of persons
who are paupers. whose descendants may
be useful and respectable citizens, should
be amended and therefore of the fol-
Amend section ). by striking out all af-
ter the word excepting" in the third
line and adding the words. ''those who
are now State paupers: r...
second time as amended and passed TO be
enyrosSed.
Mr.. Chamberlain of Lincoln: desire
simply to arise to a personal privilege in
explanation of this biil. In regard to the
objection which has been raised by the
senator from AroostoOk. | would say
that this measure came before the COM
mttee on towns agreed upon by the
with the names as given in the bill. that
there We're some paupers whom they still
retained as town paupers. but these
parties it was stated to us were of some
nectiOns whatever. so that 1t would be
no injustice to the State. as they were
supporting them. to have their
names inserted in the act. There were
a few whom they were now supporting
and should continue to support as a
town. i however offer no objection to
the adoption of the amendment. simply
