MIR. SW EFT Of I<ittery: MIR. Speaker
this matter was brought before the
committee ana was laid on the table
for one week for consideration. These
companies have already raised among
themeelves from $500 to 5000 each to de
fray their expenses. They appeal to this
Legislature for the balance to take
them through | presume our illustrious
Governor will attend the inauguration

solve and pass it and give it a unani-
nous vote ana send the boys who have
worked 50 hard to get five or six hun
drcd dollars and who now appeal to
this Legislature for the simple sum Of
a thousand dollars to tiefray their ex-
penses. They are figuring today on go
ing by water and cutting down their
expenses as low rs possible.
Now DO your duty and vote for this
thousand dollars. We are voting away
our money To all these institutions
read the report and see what we are
giving away 10 Institutions that ought
to be able to take care Of themselves.
and the report shows that if we keep
on in giving to the institutions which
are able to take care of themselves we
will bankrupt our treasury in d few
years. The passage Of this resolve isn't
going to bankrupt anybody 1t IS q
small sum. Give the boys chance.
You wanted them in 81 to 65 to go to
Washington-:t didn't make any differ
ence whether it was three or 20 or 50
companies. | am proud to say that 1 am

this q unanimous thing.
