Chamber of Deputies
Defeats Government
in Election Question

Paris, March II. (By A. P0-The
Chamber sof Deputies by vote of
400 to 80 refused today to follow the
government con a question having TO
do with the 1924 elections, but as
the government had not made the
vote one involving confidence. its
defeat will have no sequel.
If the law passed in 1919 Is not
modified Lefore the elections, there
will be only $50 deputies in the
Chamber, instead of the present
number, 625. That law provided
that the number of deputies should
depend on the population, and the
1921 census showed such diminu-
ton of population as to eliminate
95 deputies.
The government introduced bill
which would have left the number
of deputies unchanged until the
next census in 1926, but the cham
Der refused to discuss this bill.

Favor BarWise Bill
Continued from Paae Onel

He did not believe it was the time
to start religious strike. He regret
ted that this matter had come up; that
this talk was going around to the effect
that those who belonged to the Cath
Ole church are dsloyal to their goV-
eminent. He recalled how Great Bril-
tain, the Catholic nation OF Italy and
the central empire of Japan Joined
hands in the Great War to save civil
ization. Many Catholic boys marched
shoulder to shoulder with the lads of
the Protestant faith under the Stars
and Stripes in Flanders Fields.
The great i.lenace to the country was
not from the Catholics today. but that
the Protestant churches are lacking in
religion. There were too many men
and women marching under the banner.
NO God, no country; no master" This
menace could only be checked by a
great Christian force. sg
Brewster Forsees DaHger
Senator Brewster of Cumberland OPP
posed the motion to adopt the ma jority
report. He said there were 10000
children in the parochial schools of
Maine. including those in Aroostook
county, and that the number is steadily
increasing. He declared that. by his
own statement. the Catholic bishop of
Maine had shown that he was seeking
aid from the public funds for these
schools. The question before the Sem
ate was. whether it was wise to place
a prohibition against such gifts in the
fundamental laws of the State. With
out such a check. he saw grave danger
that municipalities might make appro-
priations for these schools or be asked
to do SO. Senator Brewster said that
he did not question the sincerity of
the bishop of Maine in opposing this
resolution, nor did he question the sin
certify of other opponents. He saw
grave d. niger in the granting of public
funds to parochial schools. Once it
is started, it would sound the doom of
the public school system.
Senator Buzzcil of Waldo favored the
adoption of the minority report of
ought not to pass. He did not believe
this was the proper way to deal with

VetOes Shed Resolve
.(continued from Page One)

MANY legislators are comforting
themselves by saying that the State
should not practice false" economy,
and that it must not neglect to care
for it's property. 1t Is alleged that
the people at home will understand
the high tax rate if the matter is
thoroughly explained to them. This
reasoning seems to be making some
Roadway about legislative halls and
l have reason to believe it is not
altogether unselfish. The fact is the
people who pay the bills Will brush
aside all expenses. for their particu-
lar concern is the tax rate that we
impose upon them. Any arguments
to the contrary are misleading and
confuse the issue. All agree that the
State should not allow it's property
to deteriorate but the question is:
Just what is necessary to keep the
States property in proper condition?
AS to this no doubt there is an hon.
est difference of opinion when any
particular case is concerned. 1t is
not we'll, however, to offer excuses
for increasing the tax rate, for ex
cuses are not reasons.
The whole ECONOMY program of
the S1st Legislature hinges upon this
appropriation. I shall not hesitate
to take decided stand against I'M
warranted expenditures. even though
by doing SO 1 shall disappoint some
of the public spirited citizens of my
native city. l hope the members of
this Legislature will take this situa-
ton to heart for legislators, as well
as Governors, should have a State
wide vision, and should not unduly
urge appropriations for any particu-
lar section or community. If such a
spirit prevails this Legislature Will
have done much to relieve the bur-
dens of taxation.
For the reasons above stated l
decline to approve the Pier Resolve"
Respectfully submitted.
PERCIVAL P. BAXTER.
Governor Of Maine.
