I am on the hospital committee
for tho insane. and was two years
ago, and when I 60 around through
tho wards and SEQ the poor unfortu-
nates-some that are raving, some
bed-ridden. some cases that will be
cured. and perhaps many more that
might be cured II It were not for the
crowded conditions-when see all
this ana realize that We have not the
money to build or enlarge buildings
or at least We did not have two years
ago-1 wonder whether the members
OF this House are going to appro-
priate. money for out Of State build
ings.
Mr.. DOUGLAS Of Lamoine: Mr..
Speaker and members Of the House.
! had no intention Of having to speak
Tor this bill. did not think it pos
sible FOR anyone to get UP on the
moor OF this House and say that they
40 not believe in advertising Maine.
did not think 1t possible that any
man would object to our boys and
girls OF Maine having chance to
exhibit to the outside world what
they can do. The bill that was pre-
scented here went before the commit.
tee. was duly passed. and Mr.. Chalm-
,ers, and anyone else, had q chance
20 appear against the bill at that
time. We had an extended hearing
and not one soul appeared against
1T. That bill asks for $4,000 from
the State. conditional upon the fact
that few public-spirited men who
believe in advertising Maine, men
VINO believe that we have a. state
mere and not log cabins, men who
believe that our boys and girls should
nave chance to compete with the
rest of the United States, have gone
down into their pockets and agreed
that they will put up $4,000 against
the States $4,000.
The Eastern States EXPOSITION
Company have agreed to give the
State Of. Maine a title deed-a war
ranted deed-of the land on which
that building is to stand. The AS
ISOLATED Industries have verbally
agreed to take space enough in that
building. at a rental sufficient to pay
all OF the up-keep of the building
and In four years time. to pay back
with these rentals.-if the Commits
sion saw f1t.-to pay back the entire
cost to the State in four years. Now.
two years ago I was in the State
House several times and I took no
interest in this bill, which was up
then. But down in my own town /
DO take an interest in the boys and
girls and their clubs, and 1 was in
strumental in getting some of our
boys and girls to that exposition last
rail-. And they came back and sold
everything that they had up there,
and had orders right up to the last
week for canned goods to send as far
west as Ohio. last year.
Now II that does not mean some-
thing for the agricultural and indus
trial interests Of our State. what does
it mean: 1t means the DEVELOPMENT
that we should look after. 1t means
that an association of IS other states,
with approximately three hundred
thousand visitors in the three weeks,
o1,n
nave to exhibit in agricultural and
industrial products. It is not a fair.
You cannot compare it to a fair, 1t
Is an exposition. 1t is chance show,
not in one day nor in two days but
in three weeks. and chance for
everyone to come and see. 1t induces
those people to trade with our State.
1t also advertises our State.
1t has been said that Douglass had
better not get on his feet in favor
of this bill as it might hurt his per-
sonal bill" I want you gentlemen
to understand that I never came here
with personal bill. and a man who
comes here with a personal bill had
better stay at home. My bill that was
referred to is a State bill. 1t is the
State that will profit. 1 never will
profit cent by it. 1t is to advertise
our State. and the exposition building
will advertise our State. It is an
investment. absolutely and purely an
for our State to loan,
loan this $25,00O.O0 to
build that building. that our fine
young men and young women and
our men and women of this State
may have q chance to show to the
outside world what we are doing
within the State. I hope. gentlemen,
that you will not allow this bill to
be indefinitely postponed. that you
will let 1t so along on its route.
Mr.. GRANVILLE Of Parsonsfield:
Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen, there are
some other matters that are being
by different committees Of
this Legislature as to what would be
the best thing to do under certain
/ do not believe that
we should indefinitely postpone this
bill. but the matter needs, to be dis
cussed in the House and I think we
had better accept The report of this
and then later assign 1t
for some day next week when we
can act on it more intelligently.
Mr.. DOUGLASS: Mr.. Speaker and
gentlemen. do not know Mr.. Gran
ville's reason for the postponement
Of this bill but I have faith in the
gentleman's judgment. and as he Is
a State Of Maine. pan I am willing
