Mr.. WEATHERBEE OF Carroll;

Mr. PERKINS of Orono. Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen: As a MEM
Der of the inland fisheries and Game
committee, which has discussed
skunks and bears and every other
sort of a four footed animal during
the greater part of this session, for
ore wish to 60 on record as being in
favor of Mr.. Weatherbee's bin. We
had a very thorough hearing down in
our committee room and we signed
an unanimous report Ought to pass"
and believe at that time that enough
evidence was presented to that COM
mittee to make it plain to every man
that such a bill was needed. All the
opposition that appeared at that
hearing was from few fellows who
wished to shoot bears. To my way
of thinking. it has reached the stage
whether or not we are going to pro-
tect the agricultural interests Of Pc
nobscot and Washington counties,
or whether or not We are going to
cater to the hunters who come here
to shoot bears: and 1 sincerely hope
that the motion of the gentleman
from Carroll (Mr. Weatherbee) will
prevail
Mr.. WILSON of Presque Isle: Mr.
Speaker, in the committee we heard
a lot about bears and wild cats
and everything. There first came
up for consideration a bill applying to
the entire State with bounty Of fif-.
