Orders of the Day
The PRESIDENT: The Chair lays
before the Senate II. ID. 400, Resolve
in favor OF erection of a building at
Springfield, Mass. The pending queS-
ton is Shall the resolve become law
the objection of the Governor not
withstanding. At this time the Chair
desires 10 lay before the Senate an
additional communication touching
the same matter from his EXcellency,
the Governor, which the Secretary
viii please read to the Senate.
The secretary read as follows:
April Sixth, 1921.
To the Honorable Senate:
Under date of April 18th l returned
to you without my approval Re
solve in Favor of the Erection of a
state OF Maine building on the
Grounds of the Eastern States EN-
position at Springfield, Massachu-
SETS
The passage of this Resolve would
establish a dangerous precedent for
the state of Maine. AS soon as
work was started on the proposed
building the state would be obliged
10 complete its regardless Of ex-
pense To fiji the building with
Maine exhibits Nill require a large
expenditure of time and money by
State officials Other fairs outside
the State such as the Brocllton and
Rochester fairs, might with reason
ask for similar appropriation. The
Eastern States Exposition is a pri-
waite enterprise established in the
city nf Springfield. Massachusetts,
for the principal purpose of bringing
business TO that city.
Ii the State of Maine cannot afford
TO contribute money to Bates college
ana other worthy institutions with
in the State which are struggling to
give an education to the young peo-
pie of Maine it cannot afford to in
augurste policy of aiding outside
institutions. If the State of Maine
| desires to encourage agriculture in
Maine there is ample opportunity at
the University of Maine and the $780,
no, called for by this Resolve if
spent in educating young men who
viii become up-to-d date and pro-
gressive farmers and who will reside
IN Maine will do much more good to !
Maine than if spent upon the cree |
ton OF the proposed building. The
Bangor fair, Lewiston Fair, Gorham
Fair, Pressure Isle Fair and similar !
county agricultural and horticultural |
societies could use the S30,OO0 in J
question to good advantage. There is |
grave danger in the States enter |
ing upon an enterprise of this nature !
and the history of states buildings !
at Worlds Fairs and other national !
