are eh0Sena4 Bar HarDOr seems 10 be
the chosen place and has been for
10 years. Every year they come here
with an automobile bill and they all
believe it is good place to keep them
out of. 1t seems they have had them
long enough down there so that they
realize they do not need them any
more 1t seems that we might let this
class go so that when a doctor visits
a patient he would not have to stop
and hire a horse. 1t seems to me if n

and could not get in. | had an ex-
perlence like that the other day Two
doctors were called. One had horse
the other an automobile, and then
they had to hire another man with an
automobile to attend the man who had
the horse. | telephoned down to my
wife to find if it was alright and she
said yes but l guess it will cost s25
said We'll, we can fix that all
right
Bar Harbor wants to get ready for
the summer and it is right they
should. If we make little mistake
in letting this pass, ii is not some
thing that has not been done before
| Mr.. WING of Franklin Mr.. Presi-
| dent, | move the adoption of House
| Amendment A.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
| state that While a motion to concur
would take precedence in the case of
| disagreeing action, the Chair will state
| that the motion of the senator cannot
be entertained.
| NJ. BAILEY of Penebscot: Air Pres
| ident, the people of my county, or at
| least in Bangor, where | reside, are
very much interested in this matter
| They do not look at It in small, mar
roy way that it will benefit Bar Har-
| Dor. Northeast or Southwest Harbor.
but that it will benefit the whole State
of Maine
There is a broader and wider signi-
ficance to this referendum asked here
| than tie senator from Aroostook would
| ALLOW us to believe. There are only Ger
| tain ways in which We can obtain our
| just share of the money of this coun-
| ty, and it comes about in this way. If
| You think Of the money that has been
! accumulated or made in your city or
| locality, you will find that * all came
| through the development of the natural
resources OF our State. The senator
/ from Aroostook may deal a little with
the grocer or the butcher but the mon
| ey which makes for the prosperity,
which makes for the general welfare
ana building up of this State comes by
the exchange of commodities which are
taken from our soil or which are the
natural resources in exchange for
things in other parts of the country,
Take Penobscot county, all the accu-
mulated wealth or nearly all comes from
the product of the forests. lumber and
pulp. Take Senator Mansfed's county.
In his district there was some lumber
but the largest interest of the people on
the coast is the fishing industry, and the
people in his district get their money and
get their living from catching fish, and
canning them, perhaps. and they are sold
| in other parts of the country.
Take Senator Morey's county. The
prosperity and the happiness of his com
munity depend upon the magnificent wa
| ter falls nature kindly placed there.
Without them do you suppose Lewiston
would be the manufacturing place it is
today? Certainly not. Take the senator
| from Knox. The Almighty placed rocks
there which can be used for the upIift
of men2the lime rock-and it has i'm
proved Camden and Roekland.
We have certain natural resources II
| this State which no man can gainsay.
| and as said by the senator is work 500
| 100000 to the state and has made Maine
| a summer resort. The natural resources
of this State are the means by which
the people of this State can demand of
other states of this Union a certain pro-
portion of the wealth of this country
The senator from Hancock spoke of
! the fish and game interests. 1t was not
| that we passed that emergency clause
| to feed the fish, for Senator Allen
knows and every man here knows that
| the industry is important to the well
| fare of this State. 1t induces people
| to come into this State with their
| money and spend it in this State for
the benefit and prosperity of the State,
and therefore to protect that industry
| and in order to help foster that in
| dustry. We We're willing to put on that
clause.
In this case these people of Bar Har-
Dor are much interested. If it were
only that could not vote for this bill
at all. | could not Justify myself, but
it is because Bar Harbor is known as
| a summer resort all over this country,
probably the most noted place on the
Atlantic coast. We want to build it
up, and | believe this emergency clause
is necessary after hearing the argu-
ments, and that is why | am willing
to stand for it. not because it helps
Bar Harbor but because it helps the
whole State of Maine
Mr. PATTEN: Mr. President, I ask
that when the vote is taken, it be
taken by the yeas and nays. ~
A sufficient number having arisen
the yeas and nays We're ordered.
Mr. STEARNS of Oxford Mr.
President, | do not intend to take up
very much of the time of the Senate
in discussing this matter, this morn
ing. / feel perhaps l might add lust
a word in support of the position of
the senator from Aroostook
The hearing upon this matter was
in the Hall of the House of Represen-
tatives. and it was given a careful
