know the exact truth In regard to the
Expenditure a the State's naoney, the
money that they pay into Tie freass
Ery of our State m the way Of taxa-
ton
Ny suggestion would be this: In
stead o4nsping to the. expense Of
prin&in6 this very extensive report
I would suggest that We bring the
heads. OF the different departments
who have the authority to spend the
States money. to bring them here
before this Legislature so that the
members Of this House. and the
Senate can go back to their CON-
-stituents and tell them where the
money has gone and give record OF
it. l woufd suggest that each man
who is empowered with the spending
Of the States money be called be-
fore this Legislature and asked to
give an account of where he has
spent the money which was appro-
priated for his department and how
it has been spent. I have heard it
rumored around the streets Of this
city that the highway department
pays men who were born and bred
in the state of Maine, good honest,
farmers boys-that the highway de-
partment pays them a less amount
per day than they were paying for
help which was imported into the
State OF Maine. 1t seems to me, Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen. il these
boys from our own State can do an
equal days work, it is perpetrating
an injustice on the citizens Of the
State Of Maine to pay them less per
day than is paid to help that Is inn
ported into our State to work ON our
highways. l say that we should
have an open book in regard to the
financial transactions Of this State
by the men who are authorized to
spend the money and not to go
ahead and print UP a measure such
as this and put it in our pockets and
say TO ourselves that it is too long
to Nread. and I can't tell you, but it
is a lot of money. Gentlemen, I ad-
wise you to bring the heads of de-
partments in here and see what they
have to say in defense of the expen-
ditureS which are made in their de-
partments.
The SPEAKER: The question be-
fore the House Is on the motion of
the gentleman from Portland. Mr.
Rounds. that 1000 copies of this

1000. Those in favor of that motion
will say aye; those opposed. no.

that it will cost so, which was larger

tn the grave? There is your situa-
ton.
Now 4 am trying to look at this
proposition fairly. I am not allowing
sentiment to swerve me one way or
the other. I will be in favor Of some
bill that will accomplish something.
II you want to go down here and hire
or buy an island in the ocean and Sc
gregate these people so we wont be
obliged to come in contact with them,
SO We viii not be obliged to look at
them, / will be in favor of that as
soon as we can work out some propo-
sition that is workable, but. why do
we want to load up our Statute book,
a book that is so fast growing that
every lawyer in the State of Maine
will soon be obliged to have a chore
boy to lug it around for him.
Now let us go . little further. This
law provides n penalty for the clerk.
II, rays nothing about the physician.
what we will do with the
physician provided he gives a Ger
tifacato that he has passed the young
man or thesyoung woman when he
should mot pass him or her? What
are wA going to do with him? We
are going to punish the poor clerk
and we are going to let the physician
go scot free: Is that fair? Is not
sentiment running away with you?
One more thing wish to call to
your attention, and that is this:
Suppose. for instance, there are peo-
