the action has been in Congress in
regard to this bill. At this time we
are simply considering and trying to
determine what committee this
memorial should be sent to, and
oppose the motion to have this re-
ferred to a joint committee. L do
not think it is necessary. 1t seems
to me as if this matter has been
here on the table a long time. and
we have put off the consideration of
it in my Judgment too long. If it
were such an important matter, why
did we not get at it before? 1 hope
the motion of the gentleman from
Perham, Mr.. Bragdon, will not pre-

Mr.. HOLLEY of North Arson: Mr..
Speaker, this matter of referring
measures to joint committees seems
to be new wrinkle. and it has cost
this Legislature a great many dol

gentleman from Belfast, Mr. Buzz

objection to the bill at all, and that
what ever this Legislature may do
will be of no avail; the gentleman
from Gardiner, Mr.. Gardiner, also
upon the Judiciary Committee. says
that there is nothing in the bill upon

ton, says that there is no departure
from policy. And the gentleman
from North Arson. Mr.. Holley, says
that the departure from policy in
augurated by this Legislature in re-

is an expensive thing. Now, all the
gentlemen may be right, and vet
that may not have any particular

This Legislature has been making
numerous departures. and I presume
that many of the changes are in the
line of progress, and while we have
been indulging in a considerable
number of changes, some of them
are progressive and some not The
