| cost OF It's printing, Whatever tldt may
be.
During SO years, beginning with the
year 1867, the University of Maine has
| received over $550,000 from the State,
not including whatever may have been
raid on account of printing Tor the
FAST 20 years. During that time no
| ether Maine college has received a
Golla- from the State of Maine, except
| that two years ago Colby, under spec
| ial and peculiar circumstances. receiV-
| ed an appropriation which, think, was
SIS, 1000. The appropri& tons which are
how being made biennially for the
university of $4,000 a year will eX-
pire in 1906. In 1907 the university
will probably come to the 1Sd Legis-
lature, asking for three or four hum
dred thosand dollars for the next 10
years. At that time the information
contemplated in the order which | have
just read will be valuable and appro-
pirate. 1t seems to me that the infor-
nation asked for by the Order may
properly be given. 1t inquiries what
are the just obligations of the State
to the University of Maine-just to the
univerSlty-just to the other colleges
just to the State and its tax payers.
If a fair and candid examination is
had. it seems to me the State will be
rendered Il service. Ii the irvestiga-
ton We're Il partisan one, either for or
against the university, it would, of
course. be without value, and without
influence either with the people or the
Legislature. Mr.. President, l move
that the order have a passage.
Mr.. CLARK of Hancock: MI Pres
ident: l would like to ask the senator
from Cumberland to amend THAI order
by adding that such commission shall
act without pay" 1t is true that COM
mission would act without pay if APP
pointed by this Legislature, because
we have no constitutional right to
appoint any commission which would
draw pay from the next. or from this
Legislature; and to cover up that dll-
ficulty and make it obvious, when thlS
matter cones up in two years. 1T seems
only fair and right that the order
should show that they are to act Will
out pay.
on motion by Senator Clark, the
foregoing order was amended by add
ing the words This commission shall
serve without pay"
Mr.. POTTER: That, of course, Mr..
President | suppose is understood L
have no objection to the amendment.
The order as amended thereupon re-
Ceived a passage.
The President stated that he would
announce the committee on the part Of
the Senate under the foregoing order
later.
