| Mr. MATHIESON of RangeIey: MIR.
Speaker, ! find that there are quite a
number of other matters to come along
relating to our common school fund G
think We shoald give this matter very5
careful consideration, and as there|
are not very many members here, this|
morning, | move that this matter bel
re-assigned until Thursday of next
| week.
MIR. BOWER of Bethel: Mr.. Speaker,
agree with the gentleman FROM
Rangeley (Mr. Mathiesom that this isl
an important matter. something that|
| ba of Of oil
and that there are several vacancies I'M
| the House: but there are other mem-|
bers in the corridors who will come ind
before we get ready to vote upon this
question. This matter has already been
| put over two or three times, and have
| a feeling that it should be taken up at
| this time, and l would insist that we7
| take the matter up at this time.
| The SPEAKER: The question is on
| the motion of the gentleman from
/ Rangeiey, Mr.. Mathieson, that there
be a re-assignment of this matter un-|
| til next Thursday.
| Mr.. IRVING of Caribou Mr.. Speak,
err, feel that this is a matter of such
Statewide Importance that it ought
not to be decided at time when
| nearly one-third of the seats in the
| House are vacant: and while l am not
| taking any stand either for or against
the measure, l am in sympathy with
| the motion of the gentleman from
| Rangeley tMr. Mathieson) that this
matter be postponed until next week.
Mr.. KICKER of Castine: Mr.. Speak
ar. | am sorry to take exception with
the gentleman from Caribou tMr. Irv-
ing). but l think we can settle this
bill at this time just as we'll as we can
settle some other bills at this time. 1t
seems to me no more than fair that we
should take the matter up at this
time. If any members are absent.
dor't know whether they are for the
bill or against it.
Mr.. NEWBERT of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker, unless there are good and suf-
ficient reasons for putting this matter
over, it seems 10 me the House ought
to insist on action. today. 1t is get
ting very late in the session, gentles
