a GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. FOULK Amoved to suspend the regU-
lar order Of business TO enable his 20 INTRO
duce general Appropriation bill. A{e said:
As yet the appropriation DILL has 1ot eeen
taken up in the House / think we Susht 20
do the best We can to have the pprdpriation
bill parsed | should dislike 70 'hsye
collision between the two branches but uu-
less something is done the bill will not PASS
and We will have to have speciae session.
I believe the blame ought to rest where it
belongs.
Mr.. WILLARD: By passing on this bill
we would do so without knowing whether it
is economical or not. We would fhave TO
rush the bill through in order to gettt to the
House in time. / believe the passage of the
Approx ration bill would not avoid the ne.
cessity OF an extra session. Would this House
act on the bill sitter sent il TO tSem2 L
trust the order of business as agreed upon
this morning wilt not De changed
Mr.. YOUCHR: 1t seems to hat the
mann or this bill has been treated hy men,
bers Of the House would relieve Us f. ON any
scruples we may have upon the subject Of
considering the bill before they do. ! do not
believe in debating to them bat mot be-
lieve in their debating TO us We hve the
plain constitutional right to consissr and
pass the Appropriation bill. hope the mo-
ton will prevail.
Mr.. SMITH, of Jay: There was unlsr con.
bill OF q eat importance, and hope his mo-
ton will not prevail.
The motion was agreed to by yeas u, nays
20.
Mr.. FOWLER, in explanation OF As vote,
said: / don't understand that there is any
politics in this matter. The House of Rep
resentatives had ample time to prepare and
pass an appropriation bill, and they Gid not
DO So and it seems to me they are not going
to do so therefore vote AYE"
Mr.. MAGEE: / desire to explain my
vote. There is no man on this floor ssss de-
sirous OF special session than myself.
think, as far as the Senate is concerrsd, We
have done rs much work as is usually done
during a period OF sixty days. Not bnly is
the Appropriation bill necessary to be
passed but it is absolutely necessary to
make provision for the State HOUSE, fund
pend. That bill has been introduced and
been in the hands of the Ways and iMeans
Committee for several days. II we so not
pass Il c General Appropriation bill aid the
State House 6Sl can say with certainty
that there Will be "a extra sess On. I.would
favor this motion If / could see any good re
suits il would produce. Bat it wouldlno. In
