| pulse of the members of this House,
and ne discovered before the bill had
long been before us that dt was not
the sense of this House--that rather.
| it was Overwhelmingly against the good
sense of the House to pass this meas
ure. There was then revision of the
title and of the substance of the bill;
and the result of that revision was
that amendment A was adopted and
the bill in its new draft is now as it
is-and the substance of the draft is
the same as indicated by the title-"An
Act to authorize steam railroad cor
porations tobuild and operate street
railroads, and purchase or lease such
railroads.
Now, Mr.. Speaker I submit that that
sounds very innoceilt. rI admit that
there may be but little apparent dam
ger as that appears before you in the
new garb. but 1 want to show you very
briefly, if ] can without going too much
into detail, something of the history of
the electric road development in the
State of Maine, the relationship that
has existed between the steam rail-
roads and the electric railroads for the
past To years and Il want to appeal TO
your good sense and good citizenship.
and your loyalty to this State of Maine

measure of this kind in it's more in
nocent form shall become law, or
whether it shall not.
take up the railroad commissioners

the 10 reported electric railroads in the
State have an aggregate gross capital
or assets of $40, 2S6, 1915 This does not
include the railroads that were COM
pleted last year late in the season; 1t
does not include railroads that are now
in process of building, the present sea-
son, of course. I airl<<willing, Mr..
Speaker, to give the benefit. in giving
you these figures, of any possible ex-
pansion of capital or marking. up of
assets that may appear in this state

statements are all sworn to and ac-
cepted and presented in those reports.
The item of S10,000,000, in round num-
bers, does not by any manner of means
cover the property that has been added
to the State of Maine since the electric
railroads began their career In 1890 and
1891. 1t would be impossible to esti-
mate, as the figures are mt at band
to prove it, but there can be no doubt
that more than this ten millions of

On motion of Mr.. Davis of Water
vile, bill, An Act to authorize steam
railroad corporations to build and oper-

the table.
The pending question was the indefi-
mite postponement of the bill.
Mr.. DAVIS of Waterville: Mr..
Speaker want to approach this ques-
ton with the utmost fairness to all
concerned, and / want to ask the at
tention of the members of the House
TO the end that what 1 may present
in regard to this matter may be fully
understood and thoroughly digested;
and l hope the gentlemen Of the House
will approach it forgetting for the mo-
ment that it has been my i'll luck or
misfortune to present measures that
have not been popular, and also for
the time being to forget the passes
that may be in your inside pockets.
This bill that is now before you pass
ed unanimously to its passage to be
engroSSed, this forenoon, without oppo-
sition. | am well aware, Mr.. Speaker,
that it will be said probably IN oppo-
sition to what / will give utterance,
that there has been time to consider
this measure; that opposition should
have been brought to the bill before
this time, and that at this late hour
it was not the time to bring this mat
ter to the attention of the House and
to ask that it be indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Speaker, submit that while the
Legislature is in session, if it can be
consistently shown that any measure
proposed, up to the point of its be-

measure that is in the interest of the
people of the State of Maine whom we

in which to call the matter up again
and to decide it again on its merits.
The question before you is an act to

Letting its taxes. and there is no ar
gument whatever why we should not
tax where we please in this way.
Two years ago the legislative Grange
committee came before this House with
quite a number of tax measures. Cor
porate interests of the State appeared
before the committee and opposed the
measures proposed by the Grange. We
were successful in passing eight of the
nine bills that We're introduced which
gave to the State a revenue of from
$250,000 to 100000 year. Is the State
sorry that the Grange advocated those
tax measures and put the State on
such fine financial basis. Does any
body now claim that there should not
be tax on trust companies and on
some of those corporations, that we
worked so hard for two years ago?
And here is simply another measure
that proposes to repeal this section and
leave the law as it was intended to be;
and if this House, and if the committee
on revision of the statutes, turn this
law down. 1 assure you that you will
hear from it later.
Gentlemen, I hope that the motion
that L shall make will prevail, and l
move that the minority report OF the
committee be substituted for that &C
the majority. (Applause.)
The motion was agreed to, and the
minority report was then accepted.
