The SPEAKER: The Chair pre-
sents for reconsideration An Act to
amend Section IA of Chapter "a OF
the Revised Statutes, increasing the
annual appropriations for scientific

with the accompanying veto mes

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
STATE OF MAINE
April Fifth, 1921.
To the Honorable House of Repre-
sentatives:
return herewith without my ap-
prevail "An Act to Amend Section IA
of Chapter "a of the Revised Stat
utes Increasing the Annual Appro-
in Animal Husbandry."
Under the existing law the sum of
$4,000 per year is appropriated for
scientific Investigations in animal
husbandry. This work is done in
connection with the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station and large
herd of cattle is maintained for the
purpose. There is q wide divergence
of opinion among cattle breeders of
the State upon the desirability of
maintaining the herd in question.
The work is experimental and its
value has not yet been established
Some of the Trustees of the Univer-
sity of Maine are of the opinion that
this herd is a needless expense to the
State and they have advocated dis
posing of it. Since the time these
experiments were begun the State
has expended approximately 100000
on this work, and If interest is fig
ured upon the annual appropriations
that have been made by the Legisla-
ture, these figures would be increas-
| ed by several thousand dollars.
In view of the great expense in
volved in and the doubtful value of
this experimental work, I am of the
!
the appropriation should be limited
to $4,000 year if not wholly discon-
tinued. I believe that the proposed
appropriation of $4,000 is unwar-
ranted. 1t is the policy Of the State
of Maine to aid and encourage it's
agricultural interests and am of the
j opinion that the total amount called
! for by this Resolve can be spent to
better advantages if it is used in
connection with the regular agricul-
tural courses at the University.
| Respectfully,
(Signed) PERCIVAL p. BAXTER,
Governor of Maine.
! The SPEAKER: The question is:
Shall an Act to amend Section IA of
Chapter "a of the Revised Statutes
! increasing the annual appropriation
for scientific investigations in animal
husbandry be passed notwithstand-
! ing the objections Of the Governor?
A yea vote passes the Act despite
the objection Of the Governor: a nay
vote terminates the consideration of
this resolve so far as this House is
i concerned. The Clerk will call the
/ roll.
