| The SPEAKER: The Chair presents
| for the consideration of the House
House Amendment "A" to Bill, An Act
relating to poll tax, House Doc No. 81.
tabled pending the adoption Of the
amendment on motion by Mr.. Story Of
washburn.
Mr.. CRAM Of Portland: Mr.. speak
er, would suggest that there IL a
mistake in the number given to this
measure on the calendar and instead
of No. 81 1t should be No. 81.
The SPEAKER: The MEASURE will
be found in House Doc, No. 81.
Mr.. STORY of washburn: Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen, this il an
amendment that places the Doll tax
rate back where it was in the hrst
place, optional with the towns. The
sole purpose Of this. bill in the Arst
place was to make uniform pom tax,
uniform all over the State. This bill
has been before the COMMITTEES and
has been examined into by the commit
tee. Notices. have been sent to the
officers Of towns all over the State,
and they have voted unanimously for
uniform poll tax. Papers were sent
out to all the towns in the State and
there ware $50 replies advocatinr a
uniform poll tax. The Grange, AZ its
nesting In December, representing IT.
coo taxpayers, voted unanimously for
q uniform poll tax of $500. We do not
think We are imposing any hardship
upon any town or city in this State In
asking for uniform poll tar Of $5.ee.
and hope that this measure will pass
without the amendment.
The question being on the adoption
|of House Amendment A
Mr.. HINCKLEY of South Portland:
Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen, think
the time has come for the Legislature
of this State to take decided action In
this matter. do not thing the mat
ter shonld be left to the cities and
towns. because we. all know II 1t
comes down to that question in many
of our cities and towns political In
duences win prevail.
The SPEAKER: If the gentleman
from South Portland. Mr.. Hinckley,
will pardon the Chair, there are many
members Of the House who would like

| Of the matter is in order. The gen.
tleman from Portland, Mr.. Rounds,
will continue.
| Mr. ROUNDS: Mr.. Speaker this
bill was put in by me; it is not a jok-
ing matter at all in our city: it is a
matter that affects the farming part
of our State. and I want to say that
have all due respect for the farm
ers of our State all through the ag-
ricultural sections ef-our State where
they can get down in front of good
fire in the fireplace and get up to the
telephone and talk with all the
neighbors all night. I have heard of
| one instance where there were 81 on
one line and they have all the enter
tainment they want during the
winter evenings. The situation is a
good deal different with us in Port
land. If we have one, two or a
three party line, we kick our heads
loft because we want the line all the
time in our own homes, and we pay
for it., We do not pay twelve dol
lars a year as they do on some of the
farmers lines. but we pay something
like sixty dollars a year. However,
i want to say that had an amend
ment which I thought Of adding to
this bill that would help out the
farmers lines % that they would not
be so hard hit as we were in the city
and that they would not have any
such financial difficulty and they
could stay at home and talk with all
their neighbors and not be o. hged to
pay very much extra for It.
Now It seems that some of the lines
have small incomes. some only have
q few thousand dollars ON their line
as the whole income, Now can
