Mr.. HINCkLEY: Mr.. President. a
short time ago it came forcibly to the
attention of certain citizens of the
State of Maine that this State. with
more miles of border land on a for
eign territory than any other state or
country in the world that had ever
lived a period of one hundred years
without fortifications, without armies,
without even patrol during that en-
tire hundred years, has lived in peace
and concord with a sister nation, and
the Maine State Bar Association,
having this in mind. felt it was pro-
per in the interests of peace, in or
der to call forcibly to the attention
of the world that such a condition
had existed, that it should be COM
memorated, and the Maine State Bar
Association invited to participate in
that program the DISTINGUISHED
jurist and justice of the Supreme
Court of Ontario; and jurists of the
State of Maine including our own
Honorable Chief Justice made extend
cd remarks covering this matter.
Some of us felt that it was only fit
ting, in the interest, of peace. and
some of us believed that the people
of the State of Maine in their big
hearts would be generous enough
and would not blame the members
of this Legislature if they appropria-
ted the great sum of $500 in order
to perpctuate those exercises and to
put in permanent form these memoir
ials that they might be sent to the
Libraries of the States and countries
of the world.
Mr.. President and senator's. thous-
ands of dollars have been expended
by this Legislature without blinking
an eye for the purpose of printing
messages and other documents, and
even single bills before this Legis-
lature. senator's, ! dare say have cost
more in printing than the entire cost
of this resolve. and l say it is a
shame to the State of Maine to say
that in view of this fact, unparalleled
in the history of the entire world.
that the State of Maine is so poor,
that the State of Maine needs money
