J. c. HARMON. See.
Now. MI. President. this particular
| instance is not one in which criticism
should attach to anybody. 1t is mere
| ~ a question of doubtful wisdom Of
| advertising so many petitions and re-
I monStranceS that relate t. one mat
! ter ard which could be consolidated.
There have been called to my atten-
ton at this session of the Legislature
| Instances where newspapers were pub
| fishing. notices without authority from
| the committee. and advertising in pad
ocd space This order is offered for the
purpose Of making definite what I un-
derstand is already the policy of the
misunderstanding wien bills come in
later in the Session. when newspaper
publishers might think they We're en-
titled TO pay for advertisements not
ordered or authorized by the commit
tee.
Mr.. STAPLES Of Knox: Mr.. Presi-
dent. I do not at this time propose to
discuss this order. may later on deem
t, nv duty in behalf of the committee
to nuke some remarks in regard to it.
I therefore move that the order lie or
tie table.
Mr. MAYO Of Hancock: Mr.. Presi-
dent If in order, | would like to ask
If this is a regular advertisement sign
ed by the secretary or clerk?
Mr.. MILLIKEN: Mr. President. I
desire to state that this advertisement
as published is signed by the secretary.
I ara not prepared to say anything
further than that wish to emphasize
that tbs is not offered in criticism of
any committee or secretary. but mere
~ aS an instance Of the unwise use
Of space into which we may b" led if
tie matter is not called to our atten-
ZION.
Mr.. STAPLES: Mr.. President, ]
would add to my motion that the or
der be printed. think it is important
as bearing upon every committee. | do
look upon il as censuring the commit
tees ( do propose to discuss it later.

Mr.. BOYNTON of Lincoln: Mr.
President: move that we take from
the table Senate Document No. II
An Act to abolish the State liquor
agencies.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. BOYNTON: Mn President,
now move that the bill at this time
receive its two several readings and
be passed to be cngrossed.
Mr.. MLLIKEN of Aroostook: Mr.
President: While have no opp'si
ton to OIL cr 10 the passage VI the bf'
this seems to be the proper time fol
Iany discussion that might be appropfi
late | think the bill ought not to be
passed without some brief word as t
the origin of the liquor agencies ant
| the conditions which seemed to make
| the abolishing of the agencies wise
| this time. AS VIC all know. the liquo'
agency provision originated in the be
lief that some way should be provided
for procuring Intoxicating liquors fol
medicinal and mechanical purposes
under the prohbitory law. AS tim
went on it became evident that YER
flew communities were availing them
selves of the provisions of this act
Four years ago this matter was taket
| up and after some discussion in tn
Legislature Il committee was appoint
| ed 10 investigate the matter before TN
IneXt session of the Legislature anc

and reported to the last Legislature
