Ii was adopted
SCHOOL MONEY.
On motion of Mr.. RHoAD5. the regular
order OF business was suspended. and the House
took up the consideration Of bis bill Il. K 1891
TO provide for the distribution of the interest on
the School, Sinking and Trust Funds, for the
support OF Common Schools
The bill comes back from the Senate with an
amendment, striking out the word Fund.-" and
inserting revenue " in lieu.
The amendment; was concurred in
LEGISLATIVE ExPESsEs
On motion Of BE COFFROTH, the regular
order was further suspended and the House took
up the bill 5. 2O2l making specific appropris-
tons from the State Treasury, described in the
foregoing proceedings of the Senate, and il was
passed TO the second reading.
On his further motion the constitutional re-
stricton was suspended-yess 10, nays D, and
the bill was read the second time and passed TO
tie third reading.
Mr. COFFROTH again moved suspension
OF the constitutional restriction in order that the
bill might he put on its final passage.
Mr. NEW COMB said: whilst the law provided
four dollars day for clerks and other attaches
of the General Assembly. he in the pro-
ceedings OF the Senate already il this session,
that they had passed resolutions allowing their
discharged clerks and employees FIVE dollars a
day. tie thought We should prevent this giving
a greater compensation than the law allows, by
prohibiting the Auditor from drawing his war
rant in favor of cases where the legal compen-
saton may have been exceeded by resolution.
he moved its reference to the Committee on
Ways and Means
Mr. COFFROTH doubted whether a mere
resolution in either House could change law.
Mr.. NEWCOMB. liz always has been done
Mr.. COFFROTH. Well, precedent goes a
great way to show what law is, but still
doubt whether il can change or establish tho
law. But he did not desire to press his mo-
ton.
Mr. GRIFFITH preferred to amend the bill
now. He moved TO allow the elective officers
of the House each five dollars day.
Mr.. LANE would like to have the bill passed
30 that the displaced officials of the Senate
might be paid of to-day.
Mr. COFFROrH stated that the compeuse-
ton OF the elective officers of the House was es
tablishee By law-four dollars q day for the
time actually engaged in service.
Mr.. GRIFFITH. That settles the question
He withdrew his amendment, and hoped the
gentleman from Marion would withdraw his me-
ton
Mr. ALBEIT 1t was plain that if the bill
was amended it cannot become a law to-day.
Mr. NEWCOMB declined to Withdraw his
motion. and il that should be voted down he
would offer an amendment He deprecated the
unseemly haste with which successive Legisls-
lures here were accustomed to hurry through
bills in the fore part of the session, appropria-
ting $50 900, S75, 900 or 500 900 to pay the
expenses Of the General Assembly, upon the
plea of necessity and poverty. Gentlemen need
not tell him that our employees, or even
members themselves, are so strapped that they
cannot remain here over Sunday without starv-
ing.
Mr.. KILGORE | am strapped, ard the gen
tleman cannot dispute H.
Mr. NEWCOMB. Then the gentleman ought
to be strapped; but he doubted not but that,
upon representation of his case tonight, the
Peru Railroad superintendent would give
him free pass home. Mr n. appealed
again to the recollection OF gentlemen for the
fact that this law of compensation never has
been recognized by either House of the General
Assembly tie cited cases. and said he did not
want to be bounded by employees we were last
session, coming to u, and begging Us, for Gods
sake, TO increase their pay, when thay are paid
more than members themselves
Mr.. BROWN was little like the gentleman
from Delaware. but with this advantage: he had
a credit crcumscribed by narrow limits He
hoped the gentleman from Marion would not
try TO scare the House by telling us be will sub
init amendments; because the House can dispose
OF his amendments as well as his motion He
was disposed TO give to every bill all due consid.
Grafton; but here is bill coming from the Senate
"A body of men of equal experience ability
knowledge and judgment, with ourselves-it has
been carefully consIdered-it has been considered
by their Committee, and be did not think the
gentleman from Marion any other gentleman
would be likely to make it any better. The
gentleman had talked about the law being yo-
lated. he did not care how strong YOU make
the BILL IL will still be violated il the House de-
sires 1.-THE courteous House will still give the n
officers an increased per diem if they please I'm
al you make a positive law declaring that tie
House shall not pass these corteous resolutions.
or until gentlemen get better sense, they will
continue TO pass them But be considered that
these gentlemen who had been laboring for the
State OF Indiana should have their pay, so that
they may settle their board bills, aud not be
thrown out in the cold
Mr.. BUSklRk. The gentleman, his friend
from Marion, iorgets one thiug-he is here at
home has no board bill to p4y-sud there is
this difference between himself and others here
who have LETT their homes and made their ar
engagements for family expenses for these forty
days, requiring considerable outlay of money
at once. Mr.. b. referred also to the displaced
officials OF the Senate. OF whom he was advised
there was quite a number, without the means
OF getting home He did no; think they ought
to be kept here any longer. Then be could es-
top the gentleman from Marion's complaint
about resolutions overriding Law. by reference
to a report which be made in the close of the last
