that the sea which engulfed the great
steamship ever would give up its vic

THE SUM Or $55, 100000 WAS NOT
TOO MUCH FOR A HUMANE BODY

WE'RE NOT PLAYING POLITICS.
The Democratic Legislature of 1911
passed Resolve appropriating only
$4,000 for this hospital and on March
%. Gov. Plaisted, hoping to make
political capital, thereby vetoed it in
the following words:

/ have examined Senate Resolve, No.
159. entitled Resolve in favor of the
Children's Hospital, and respectfully
return the same herewith without my
approval" Legislative Record, Page
7S1)
Afterwards, when some of the Demo-
cratic leaders in The Legislature had
heard from black home" and finding
out that this Act was grevious
blunder, $4,000 was voted to the hos
pital, one-half of what it costs to run
it.
Gov. Plaisted, in his speech in Cen
trail Hall in Dover, denied the fact
that the people of Portland had main
tanned this hospital at their own ex-
pense for a considerable time, and
proclaimed in a loud voice and with
a great flourish, that "all that Col.
Hale and others ever did was to en-
dorse some notes which were paid by
money from the State treasury"
