MAINE LEGISLATURE.
(Continued from Page TwO.)

when. under the provisions of that Act
the institution was created. Those ooh-
cations were large. and everyone III the
State of Maine realized their extent.
There is no one today who is not WILL
ing to carry out faithfully the trust
and obligations Ct the State OF TINS
fair institution located iE the center
Of our State.
l hope the motion OF the Senator
from Cumberland will not prevail.
Mr.. POTTER o. Cumberland. MI.
President: just word or two. 90 lo'
desire to rehcarse the argument "hlch
! have made. o. reply in detail to the
Senators who have followed me.
The Senator from FenobscOt has JUST
made a statement which l have not
time to look into, but l am very GER
tain he is wrong in sayi ing that the III
struction in Latin and Creek when Is
given in the University OF Maine -
paid for by the appropriation from the
general government. 1t is my recoliee-
1ion and l shall expect to tnd on iooh
ing the matter up, that the genera
government prevents the lhlNerSi'S
from applying a single dollar OF us ap
,ropriation to instruction III l-atih aho

wears ago, and found that 10 De tue
fact. The general government puts the
stress and emphasis in the Morrill, Act
and in subseuurlt Acts. upon the aSri-
cultural mechanical and techflcai
..ourses and does not. as | recOllect.
allow that a dollar OF its approprla-
lion shall be applied to instruction IN
Latin and Greek
did not suggest. rs my friend. thu
Senator from PenObscot. has seemed 20
assume. that the tuition charge of the
University Of Maine should be raised
TO the level of the other colleges. l was
suggesting that the tuition of $50
wear is a nominal charge. 1t does not
probably pay one-eighth of the expense
IF educating the boys at the Universe
~ of Maine. Tie charges in Colby.
Bates and Bcw:loin average a little
more than $50. was suggesting that Il
the charge at the University of Maine
were increased from $50 TO So it would
still be practically u nominal charge,
and still the additional amount receiv-
ed by the University would enable il to
pay its printing bills.
Now, Mr. Stetspn has been kind enough
to say he didn't suppose my connection
with Rowdoin would prejudice me- IN TINS
matter I hope it does not. II is my duty
here as a senator to look to the interests
of the State. 1t is the duty of all OF us
, TO see that the University OF Name should
have what President Roosevelt would caii
:. square deal" neither more nor tess.
If am prejudccd 1t is unconscious; ana
whether my speech Il few moments ago
was a partisan one, the Senite can Judge.
! reciprocate the courtesy OF my TRENDS,
the senator from Penobscot, and | as
sumo with entire good faith that The fact
that he is the treasurer of the tniNer-
sity OF Maine does not prejudice him III
inns discussion | have no doubt that he
is striving to do his duty here a 4 SEN
.,tor of this State. and 1 say that in en-
tire good faith.
Mr.. President, | move that when the
vote upon this matter LIE taken, 1t be tax

YOU Will examine Senate Doc llf You will
see that those of It's who signed tn. mi

bills YOU will discover that both reports,
