Epening Session.

senator flllSDury mOVeu Inat inc Seldtc IT,
solve itself into committee of the whole.
Senator Kinds thought this was not in ac-
cordance with the arrangement made when
the consideration Of the bill was commenced in
the afternoon.
Senator Pillsbury explained that the object
was to discuss the bill
Senator Kinds said he did not wish them to
carry the point they wished; but that mas
much as the proceedings in committee Of the
whole did not go on the record he did not want
them to do so. In open Senate was the place
themselves on record.
Senator Pillsbury moved the previous ques-
ton.
Senator Kinds moved to lay the previous
question on the table. Yeas, s; nays, 10.
The previous question was seconded by 81
ayes.
The question being on the motion to 60
into committee of the whole, there were ayes,
90; nays, 9.
IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
Senator c. F. Buck in the chair.
Senator Wilson offered an amendment.
Senator Kinds raised the point that the bond
bill was not before the committee; that there
was swamp land bill on general orders which
was interesting.
Senator J. B. Gilfillan said he supposed that
ness.
Senator Wilson'S motion to amend the
amendment by striking out section 9, provid-
ing for commission of jurists not residing In
the State was then read.
Senator Pillsbury said there might be ne
cessity for the section.
Senator Crooks hoped the bill would be made
as near perfect as possible, and he hoped Will
sons amendment would be voted down.
III
greater satisfaction to the public were the
words striker out.
Senator Crooks wanted all the safeguards
possible thrown around the bill.
Senator Buck hoped the section would be
eliminated. The people have never been will
ing 70 submit the Question to any tribunal but
themselves. and the proposition was SO out
rageously wrong that he hoped it would be
stricken out. He said that two of the judges
of the supreme court have been counsel for
the bondholders and were disqualified. He
was willing to have the district judges pass
upon the question, but he did not want per-
sons from out of the State to sit in judgment
upon the case.
Senator Pillsbury said that the outside jur-
lists were not to be called upon only in the
event of the supreme judges and the district
judges declining or being disqualified
Senator Kinds said the decision Of the out
side jurists would have no binding effect upon
the people of the State, because it would be a
and would plant the seeds for future repudia-
ton as sure as other bonds were issued. 1t
was an absurd proposition.
Senate: G. D. Gilfillan said there was dis
position of majority of the Senate to settle
this question, and a bill with section 8 in,
would defeat the very object intended, for no
Legislature would levy tax to pay interest
on bonds authorized by Ahe mere dictum of
three men from outside the State, even though
they were good lawyers.
Senator J. B. Gilfllan cOncurrcd In the
opinions expressed by Senator G. D. Gilfillan.
Senator ID, Buck said the constitution would
not permit tac legislature to confer judicial
powers on nieir,s.e-;ac the State, and EssSa the
friends OF the bill fair warning tiia.. # such a
tribunal decreed that new bonds should be
issued he would fight them as he had the old
ones. This question must be settled justly if
settled at all.
Senator Wilson said he had offered the
amendment in good faith, as friend of the
bill, who wished to eliminate Objectionable
features from 1t.
The amendment proposed by Mr.. Wilson
was then adopted
Senator J. B. Giltillan offered an amendment
which consisted of the judiciary committee
preamble to the substitute bill.
Senator Pillsbury accepted the amendment.
Senator d. Buck wanted to know If an op-
portunity would be given to discuss and
amend the bill tomorrow, after it had
beeen printed.
Senator Tillsbury said there would be such
opportunity, but it must be understood that
the friends of the measure did not propose to
let the bill get into such condition that it
could not be put upon third reading to-
morrow. He was willing to be fair, and more
than fair in the matter. He then
moved that the amendment be adopted.
Senator Crooks asked Mr.. Kinds if he
expected to have indefinite time to discuss the
bill tomorrow.
Senator Kinds replied that he GER
tainly would claim such time as was al
lowed by the rules if he could better the bill
thereby.
Senator Wheat moved that when the COM
mittee rise it report progress and beg leave to
sit again. Lost.
