INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.
The SPEAERR said that until further orders by the
House. all bills viii be read at length on the first
and second readings. The question will then be,
Shall the bill be read second time? In this way,
by 'vjeetiuE friSaions bills the first reading.
large amount OF valuable time viii be saved, and
large expense for printing Members should pay at
ten,on to the reading, 50 that they can tell whether
Mr.. MaYBELL protested that such ruling would
he contrary TO the spirit Of the Constitution.
The CHAIR said it would be time enough to dis
cuss that question when the question comes before
the House.
BY Mr. BRAuNuART-An Act 20 regulate the buy.
ing and selling of stocks. The bill was read at
length Referred TO the Committee ON Corporations.
Mr.. TYLgR-it viii be conceded that upOn the
reading b. the Clerk it is impossible to get at the
substance. lie moved that they should not be read
first time until they are printed. He also proposed
to hold an evening session TO read the bills.
Mr.. BRAUNHAKr offered resolution that the As
semb'y hereafter meet at T. NJ.
Mr.. TYLER moved an amendment that at half past
p. NJ this house take recess until :, and that the
evening session be for the reading OF bills.
Accepted by 1r. BRAUNHART.
Mr.. MCCARTHY asked why the rule OF the house is
being changed.
Mr.. MAYBELL moved that it be indefinitely post
poned. lie said That the Court had decided that
they should he read and that implies that the bills
shall be read before the members in regular session.
1t is very nicely and hypoeritcally complying with
the law.
Mr.. TYLER moved to further amend, ''until fur
MIR CogcoRAS said in order to facilitate business
it will be necessary to reject bills on their first
readings His experience was that majority Of
the members will be OH committees during the
evening, and there will not be full House.
Mr.. CARR OF Sacramento said he understood that
bills could not be read unless there is y quorum
present.
=, .
less some members called for call Of the House
He had never heard of bill being rejected on the
first reading. After reading and printing they are
sent to the committees, and then they can be ro-
iected on the second reading.
Mi. DEL VALE differed from tie gentleman. The
Chair has already stated tn ii till is Of char
acter thai should be rejected, it is rejected. The
motion has already been made this session. He
wanted to be on the floor the passage OF every
bill, and have his vote recorded lie
mittecs every night from this time on, and he
would not want bill to come up here when men,
bers are ab5ent
Mr.. Fox said every day or two there is trouble
by trying 10 do two things at time. The first mo-
ton that bill should be read on its introduc
ton, but go to the printer first. The motion ought
to have stopped there. No one can tell what bill
is By hearing it read at the desk.
Mr.. HARDY in favor of putting that motion
separately, for ii print the bills evening ses
sion will not be necessary.
The CHAIR ruled the motion to print out Of order
NJ. BRAUNHART moved to amend so that no bill
shall be rejected its first reading except by two
thirds vote OF all the members elected.
Mr.. MAYBELL opposed the measure He proposed
to give every member a fair chance, and he wanted
to be on the floor to defend his bills.
Air. MAY said it was not the custom to consider
bills unless the author was present.
Mr.. HARRIS said the amendment OF the gentle
man from San Francisco was not pertinent.
The CHAIR ruled the point well taken.
Mr.. LEACH proposed an amendment that no bill be
rejected on its first reading.
Out Of order.
The question was on the indefinite postponement
OF the resolution, and the ayes and noes were de-
nlanded.
Mr. HARRIS favored the motion TO postpone
Mr. LgvBE also favored it. He was opposed TO
such legislation would allow few members to
act on bills
Mr. CAMERON said i. might be necessary to call
up the matter again, and this would debar the
House from doing
Mr. BRAUSuARI favored the postponement be-
there may be snap Judgment taken on bills
Mr. TYLER said it would not amount to anything,
because very few men would want to take such
snap judgment IL il was taken, the author could
move to reconsider in a full House. He was in
favor of saving time by reading the bills in the
evening. 1t Will save twenty days time, There is
a fearful responsibility upon this Legislature and
they should look well at this thing.
Mr.. ADAMS said all these gentlemen talk about
is expedItine business, and ne thought there wass
good deal of buncombe aboutit. He moved to lay
the resolution on the table. So ordered.
