MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. GILL moved that. as the volume of
bills already introduced was heavy, no
bills should be introduced after the forty
fifth day of the session. Lost.
MI. kEARNEY opened the ball for the
antagonizers by calling the attention of the
house to the alleged fact that a bill intro
duced by Mr.. Strom, No. 1862, was identical
with one previously introduced (No. 1867.
Must time be taken up in reading. printing
and considering such bills? What object
had the gentleman from Trail? Did he
seek nOtOrietv? lie wanted the gentleman
censured by the house.
Mr.. STROM said there was a difference
between tile two bills.
There was no responsive thrill to MI.
kearney's suggestion, nc second was forth
coming, and the gentleman from the Red
river county was not disciplined.
When the order of business for 'tirst
reading OF house bills was reached, Mr.
Brooke moved to suspend the rules and
take up general orders. Carried.
Mr.. LCTI moved to go into committee
of the whole. Carried.
The CHAIR announced the appointment
as house members of joint committee on
salary of county officers Messrs. Oliver.
Richie and Lamb.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The speaker called Mr.. Brooke to the
chair: but the gentlman from the pluto
llian shore had some business on the
floor; SO he "passed." Mr.. Foss and after
him MI. Cope were named. but both de-
clined on general principles. The speaker
then looked appealingly toward Mr.. Gill,
and the gentleman from Cass assembled
the rOstrum.
House bill SIS showed its head, and was
Immediately smitten hip and thigh. 1t pro-
vided lnitiatory steps for the ultimate
founding of an industrial school and school
of manual training at Glendale.
The clerk proceeded to read the bill.
MI. BURTON wanted to amend.
Mr.. BROOKE moved that the bill be con.
sidered section by sectian.
MI. OLIVER looked through the same
lights. He wanted the bill read as a whole,
and then each section read and considered
separately.
The motion was adopted.
MI. BURTON stated his position: "We
are servants of the whole state, not of any
particular locality, l am not in favor,
during the present hard times, Of placing
any new state institution in a position to
come here two years hence, asking N ap-
propriation." He said the people OF Ellen
dale didn't intend to erect the building at
their OWE expense or support the school.
Mr.. BROOKE read from the constitution
that the provision regarding the institution
under consideration was mandatory. Not
a dollar was asked from the state. Until
1895 every cent expended would come from
the people of Glendale.
Mr.. BURTON didn't think there was
much force to that provision of the organic
law. The legislature was required to do a
certain thing, but they need not do it until
1900 if they did not see fit.
MI. DO IhC IdlSeu Gle pOlnG OIL OTuer
that no gentleman could speak twice on
the same question.
The speaker decided against him, as any
one could speak as often in committee of
the whole as the spirit moved him.
Mr.. BURTON remarked that if the leg
islature was bound to take immediate ac-
ton in this matter why did the first session
fail to do so.
Mr.. BROOKE: "Neglect by the last
session is no justification for neglect by
this"
MI. FAY was opposed to the bill. This
was but a beginning. The next session
would be called on for money. The state
was not in a condition to help new institu-
tions. They all had land that would, be-
fore many years, be valuable. None of
these institutions were an absolute neces.
sity at present. Let them wait until 1896.
From present appearances he thought it
would be better if they had to wait until
the year 20OO.
Mr.. RICHIE didn't think he was throw
ing a bomb shell into the house when he
introduced the bill. All the Glendale
people asked was that laws be passed I'M
der which donations. might be received.
They were not asking a dollar from the
state. 81.
MI. BROOKE said that, if the Glendale
people came in the future asking aid from
the state, they certainly would not get 1t
unless they mad done something to Justify
