Orders Of the Day
Mr.. THIBODEAUU Of Fort Kent:
Mr.. Speaker. would like to ask unanl-
nous consent of the House TO present
a hill which came TO me this morning
from Fort Kent Il is An Act 20
amend section Of Chapter 29s of the
Private and Special Laws of 1907,
relating to the Fort Kent Village Cor
poration.
Mr.. DescoteauX of Siddeford moved
that unanimous consent be given
The SPEAKER: The Chair Will
state that this, of course, is contrary
to the order that has been adopted
by the House, and it can only be re-
ceived by unanimous consent: and the
gentleman from Biddeford, Mr.. Des-
coteaux moves that unanimous con-
sent be given.
MIR. BONNEY OF Bowdoinham: MI.
Speaker. l want to .courteously oo-
ject TO the introduction Of any moro
bills not Of a public nature. I am
very sure that no member OF this
House wishes TO impose any hardship
on any other member, and l am also
Very sure that the House as body
does not wish to impose injustice or
hardship on any one Of its members.
Now yesterday we gave unanimous
consent TO the introduction Of TWO re-
solves. and it seemed 10 be proper
that this should be done as the bills
were received by the members too late
the day before TO be put into the box.
AS l understand it, We have extended
this open-time once. We have been
in session here for seven weeks, and.
ir connection with some vaudeville.
We have accumulated large amount
of business which must be attended
to. While l personally would not wish
to object to the introduction Of any
measure. it seems TO me that it Is
about time for the House TO take hold
and run its business, and not let the
business run US.
Mr.. GALLAGHER of Bangor: Mr..
Speaker, l had intended to make q
motion asking unanimous consent -
the introduction OF the bill in contro-
versy, but Mr.. Descoteaux beat me to
It" l realize now. and believe. that
it would DE mistake to co this. ]
feel, as Mr.. Bonney does, that 1 would
hate to 90 anything that would de-
prive anybody Of their privileges: but
/ also realize that, if we let down the
bars in any one case today, it will
mean a letting down in the future.
Therefore, although il may appear
harsh to object to giving unanimous
consent shall ask TO be counted with
Mr. Bonney.
Mr.. SMITH Of Hampden: Mr..
Speaker, I am only concerned in this
Inatter in the interest of fair play.
yesterday a member from a nearby
Town as compared with the distance
% the home Of our brother legislator
IRON Aroostook County. introduced a
Dill in this Huse. Today this matter
has come in the mail from the borders
OF our State, and it appears to me
that, because Of the distance from this
mans home to the capitol, an extension
of one day should be granted. would
agree to the stopping Of this bust
mess right here; but it seems in fair
mess to this man and to his consti-
tuents because of their distance from
Augusta that he should have the same
privilege today that the dweller in
the nearby city had yesterday. trough
our courtesy if you may so call it.
and that this bill should be permit
