Mr.. HINCKLEY of Cumberland: Mr..
I ask permission to introduce out Of
order, and I will read it.
Ordered. the House concurring. that
all matters tabled hereafter shall be
taken from the table at the following
session." and l move for it's adoption.
Mr.. MAHER of kennebec: Mr.
President, l move that the order be
tabled and specially assigned for con-
sideration tomorrow morning.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr.. President,
rise to point of order. that there will
be no session tomorrow.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair thinks
the position is very we'll taken.
Mr.. MAHER: Mr.. President, not
questioning the ruling Of the Chair,
will simply say that was speaking
in parliamentary language and that
tomorrow morning is the next days
session under the rules.
Mr.. HINCkLEY: Mr.. President, /
will say that ! do not know Of any
such rule, and I will say further that
l for one
Mr.. MAHEE: Mr.. President, I rise
to a point of order.
The PRESIDENTS: The senator
from kennebec, Senator Maher, may
state his point of order.
Mr.. MAHER: My motion is not
debatable.
The PRESIDENT: Quite right.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr.. President,
am speaking on the question Of a day
certain.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
rule that the senator does not have to
do that. The Chair will rule that the
senator from kennebec, Senator Ma
her, is right in his position in relation
to that.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr.. President. 1
am speaking not to the motion TO lay
upon the table, but the senator having
designated a day certain upon which
this matter was to be considered, that
was debatable under the rules.
Mr.. MAHER: Mr.. President, ! will
respectfully withdraw my point of
order, because the senator from Cum
berland is correct, if he is debating
of course my motion. l had understood
that he had raised >the point that my
motion was not in order. If the sena-
tor is now recognizing when I made
the motion to table and assign it for
consideration tomorrow morning I was
speaking in parliamentary language
and it meant the next day of the ses-
sion, of course | concede that is de-
batable.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: That, Mr.
President, was my question. And
now may I ask the Senator from
kennebec, Senator Maher, through
the Chair, whether or not the Sena-
tor asked to have it considered on a
day certain.
Mr.. MAHER. Mr.. President, an
swering the Senator from Cumber-
land, Senator Hinckley, my esteem
ed colleague, through the Chair, l
will say that 1 have asked to have it
assigned for a day certain. to wit,
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Now, Mr..
President, having asked for a day
certain. l wish to address this body
on the question of assigning it for
day certain, which under the rules
is debatable.
The PRESIDENTS: The Senator
from Cumberland, Senator Hinck-
ley. may proceed.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr. President
and members of the Senate. l have
a feeling that some of us who do not
live as near to the State House and
have an opportunity to visit their
own homes at my time during the
day and night as they may wish, are
hot
sion of the Legislature should con-
clude its work within a reasonable
time. 1t has been the custom during
sessions in the past, at periods any
where from ten days to two weeks
before the final adjournment or the
session, to invoke such an order as
this in order to expedite matters. IL
a matter comes off the table on the
following day then, of course, for
good reason the Senate always. cour-
teously extends that time. But feel
certain that if we are going TO get
home and close the work OK TINS ses-
sion within a reasonable time Ii
is very important that these matters
should come off OF the table the
following day; and for TINS reason
I hone that the motion for this mat
ter to go over until next week De :
fore it can be voted upon will not
prevail.
Mr.. MAHER: Mr.. President, l
will state that there are certain ne"
matters suggested by the remarks
of the Senator from Cumberland
senator Hinckley, that are slightly
different from the stereotyped arsu,
ments that l have heard advanced
at the few sessions during when
have been here. and If the remarks
of the Senator had been connneu "
the usual / would have no difhculty
in answering them. Inasmuch as ,he
Senator has suggested matters "hlCii
seemed to me 20 require some iI'.Io

tanned in his remarks. ana ceI'ai,

Mr.. HINCKI.Ey: Mr.. President
I cannot resist the appealing clio :
ouence OF my distinguished col
league, and for that reason l Will
Weld until Monday of next week:
The PRESIDENT: The question
before the Senate is on the motion
Of the Senator from kennebec. Sena
