STATE OF MAINE

Office of the Governor
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives Of the S1st Legisla-
ture:
/ return herewith without my APP
prevail
RESOLVE. In favor Of the Board Of
Registration of Medicine.
This Resolve appropriates the sum
Of $500 a year to defray the expenses
Of the board in question. In my opinion
the several boards of physicians. osteo-
paths. veterinarians. embalmers. dem
lists. lawyers. pharmacists. optom-
etrists. nurses. accountants and others
should be self-sustaining and should
not call upon the State treasury for
funds to carry on their activities.
These boards are established to
maintain standards for the several pro-
fcssions or occupations referred to,
and then render service to the COM
munity. Most of the boards. however,
charge fees sufficiently large to pay
the nominal salaries of their members
and their expenses. and l am of the
opinion that it is not right to discrimi-
nate between them by making special
appropriation for certain boards and
not making them for all.
The members of these boards do not
seek the positions for the salaries Incl
dent thereto. but they are animated by
Il desire to elevate their several profess
sions and occupations and to render
public service. Membership on these
boards gives man an official position
and is of considerable benefit to him in
the practice Of his profession or occu-
patton.
A law now IS pending before this
Legis lature which will place all these
boards upon an equal footing whereby
all will become self-sustaining. and in
view of this I deem it unwise to APP
prove the Resolve now before YOU.
Respectively submitted.
(Signed) PERCIVAL p. BANTER.
Governor of Maine.
The SPEAKER: The question is
shall this resolve become law, not
withstandrE the objections of the

yea and nay vote is necessary. Does
the House understand the question?
Those in favor of the resolve becom-
ing law notwithstanding the objcc-
lions of the Governor will vote yes
when their names are called, and those
opposed will vote no. The Clerk will
call the roll.
Mr. ROUNDS Of Portland: Mr..
Speaker. 7 believe that some of the
members do not understand the Ques-
tion.
The SPEAKER: The Chair will again
bring to the attention Of the House the
matter to be acted upon. Tho question
is on veto message. Shall this re-
solve become a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Governor: Those

come law Notwithstanding the objec-
tons of the Governor, will vote yes
when their names are called. Those
who wish to sustain the Governors
veto on the resolve will vote no when
their names are called. Is the House
ready for the question?

STATE OF MAINE:
ONCE of the Governor
Augusta. March .. 1929.
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives of the S1st Leg
islature:
I return herewith without my ap-
prevail
An Act TO Amend Sections Thirty
four and Seventy-fivc of Chapter two
Hundred and Eleven of the Public
Laws of Nineteen Hundred and Tween
ty-one. Relating to Motor Vehicles.
The effect of the existing laws is
to allow citizens OF New Hampshire
who live within fifteen miles of the
Maine border to operate motor We
hicles. excepting trucks. tractors or
trailers in the State of Maine, upon
payment Of a registration fee of two
OF New Hampshire grants an equal
privilege to citizens of the state of
Maine living within fifteen miles of
the New Hampshire border.
The Act which / am returning en-
tends additional privileges to certain
citizens Of New Hampshire. and al
lows them to operate trucks and
trailers" in the State of Maine upon
payment of the registration fee of
two dollars above referred to. The
present law and the proposed amend
ment confer special privileges upon a
comparatively few citizens living
within the radius Of fifteen miles of
the Maine-New Hampshire line. In
my opinion it is not in accord with
