Atwell arose from the speakers chair in
formed the arrested nine that during their alb
Sence important legislation had been defeated
/ owing entirely to the fact that they were not in
their seats representing their constituency and
the people OF the state, in accordance with the
/ oath they took when they assumed the duties of
their office. He talked to them as a father
would TO II Wayward child, and when he was
through asked each one in turn what excuse he
had to offer They all admitted that they were
at the races, but offered no further excuse eN-
cept Stewart and Flynn. Both of thes.. gentle
men admitted that they were heartily sick Of
the session and would like to see the Extraordi-
nary Session adjourn and the members allowed
to 20 home.
Atwell said there was something in the ex-
cuses of the two last named but inaSmuch as
the state was paying them s. per day for legis-
lation instead of attending horse races he should
enforce Rule 60 which fOrfeits from each one
days salary. He also informed them that the
House, by resolution, had imposed an addi-
tional fine of s. making the total fines SO in
each case. They were then ordered to take
their seats
