may as well call 1t here as anywhere
else. What are the facts in regard to
this matter? Before this I.egisla-
tive session one of the great industries
Of this State, one of the duties require"
of the commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries was that he should make de-
tailed statement of the capital ln"esteu'
the number of men employed. the value
Of the products. and an estimate or the
cases OF sardnes packed. This Is one Oh
the largest industries of the State of
Maine that took a good deal OF MS time.
That law has been repealed this winter,
so he won't have so much to do as ne had
last year as commissioner. Why. then.
raise his salary to $500? The taxpayers
are going to say that we have so much
money we are raising the salaries of men
whose labOrS are not so great as they
were when under the previous salary. I
for one am not going to do tin the in
terests of the taxpayers of the State of
Maine.
There is another matter which is con-
nected with this. We have appropriated
Holsters s5OOo This position, as you will
the commissioners son. who takes his
yacht and goes out; but for the last year
/ think very few seed Holsters were
caught; and we have appropriated 5000.
which is a sinecure for that work. That
is in the Nickerson family-a son of this
commissioner. Besides that he has the
manipulation of $4,000 which is raised for
sea and shore fisheries, at his disposal.
Not only that; he has besides an expense
account Of which I apprehend ! can find
no record as to it's application anywhere.
apprehend there is an expense account
of 5000 or $l400 besides his salary of $1,000.
and now comes this proposition to raise
his salary to $500. There is not a State
official in Maine who is not more enti-
tied to an increase of salary than this
''sca commissioner" and for that reason.
in behalf of the taxpayers of the State
of Maine-as we have already run up to
s.. 100 900 in appropriations Tor We shall
before we get through here) and the rev.
enue of the State of Maine cannot pay
half the appropriations voted this year
and this can be demonstrated beyond any
question-for that reason, Mr. President
1 have moved that the matter be IN
definitely postponed.
The question being put upon the mo-
ton of the senator from Knox. that the
bill be indefinitely postponed. the motion
prevailed.
On motion by Mr.. Curtis Of Cumberland,
the following Resolves were placed on
file. namely:
Resolve in favor of the town of China.
