the general appropriation Hill shall
have first passed
Mr. Dennis moved TO amend pro
yiding the per diem If the Leris-
,ature was not exhausted.
| Mr.. Westerfeld desired q short
session as an economical m. sure
and would put it on a Democratic
basis.
Mr.. Poujade would not have it
on party grounds. I'e believed in
a short session and felt that it
would be proud day for all to go
home feeling that they had saved
money to the State.
Mr.. Foley desired the short ses
sion.
Messrs. Smyth and Briggs OBJ
posed the amendment.
Mr.. Parker gave a history of the
Democratic bunkum Resolution
relative to the short session. The
Republicans hoped by their hun
KUN addition to the Resolution
to save the State much money. and
to prove that they were in earnest
in this matter.
Mr.. Dennis said that he made |
the first Resolution in as soou faith
as he ever moved to adjourn when
he was dry and wanted drink.
He desired a short session and be-
lleved that if the Resolution had
passed the whole work could have
been done in the twenty days. He
did not care for this extra session
bug-bear. He pledged his word
that if an extra session was called
he would not charge the State one
cent for his mileage or per diem.
Mr.. Foley, bv calling for its his
tory, discovered that the Commit
tee had held it sixteen days, one
day longer than they had any right
to. He desired to find out the
who did not wish to save
the State $4,000.
Mr.. Fish would not vote to ad-
journ until proper legislation could
be done. What would haye be-
come Of the jury fee bill had the
Senate adjourned in twenty
lays ? The judiciary Committee
Kept that bill It's full two weeks, be-
cause they did not want it passed
ind the people did. He would not
'ote to adjourn because he did not :
;hink proper legislation could be \
accomplished in that time.
Ayes and noes called for on the
adoption Of the amendment, which :,
vas passed by vote of ayes 10. !,
loes 8.
Mr.. Poujade spoke against the
Resolution as amended IS useless !;
n its present form. 1t was worse :
han child's play to cumber the :
ournals with such farce. :,
Mr.. Dennis would have voted for
he Resolution had the amend
nent been lost, but begged the
not to write themselves
own asses by adopting such ab- n
He therefore moved to \
ay it on the table. b
