On motion of Rep. Bush the reso-
luton and reply were referred to a
special committee, which was APP
pointed by the President as follows:
Reps. Bush and Ashford, Mobiles
Thurston and Walbridge and the
Acknowledgement.
Noble j. M. Horner offered reso-
luton that hereafter the Assembly
meet at 8 a. M, and that the roll be
called at 9 a. IN. and also after re-
cess.
Some little discussion ensued and
motion was finally put to strike
out the roll calls. After two or
three votes were taken tie was the
result, 20 to 20, and President
Walker cast his vote in favor of the
roll call. The resolution was then
passed.
Noble Thurston, under suspension
of the rules, presented a petition
that postal privileges be accorded to
the Bureau of Information. Refer
red to the Committee on Commerce.
Noble Williams, from special
committee having consideration of
Horner's Banking Bill, presented a
majority report recommending that
the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Report tabled for consideration with
the minority report, to be presented,
and the bill.
Noble Thurston offered the reso-
luton presented by him yesterday,
relative to the reference of Bill GA,
authorizing the granting of licenses
for the sale of light wines and beer,
and the investigation of the Gothen-
berg system by commission of five
persons. After an amendment of
fered and accepted the resolution
was carried.
At IL, the unfinished business was
moved on and consideration of the
proposed new Article (S3) to the
Constitution, was brought up.
A motion to defer consideration OF
the Article until 2 p. m. was put
and lost.
Rep. Ashford said that at present
he and Others were opposed to the
, passage of the amendment. There
should bo some restriction in the
provisions of the proposed Registra-
ton Act. He moved that the Article
be made the special Order of the
J Day for next Monday.
Noble Thurston argued that the
position taken by Rep. Ashford was
not consistent Those who would
be benefited most by the Registra
ton Act would not be the planters
they wanted unskilled labor, they
did not care how many plumbers OF
carpenters or. other tradesmen came
, in, but, to protect the rest of the
community especially the mechanics
, they favored the Registration Act tc
apply to Chinese now in the country
,, as well as those that might come in
after this. He showed how impossi
BILE it would be to apply it's work
ings properly if applied only tt
Chinese now to arrive.
, Rep. Smith also attempted to
4 show that this new Article only APP
r piled to Chinese to come. TIL,
Registration had to apply to all il
the country or none.
Rep. Bush said that any law whicl
t tended to pave the way to elias
legislation was in opposition to pro
gressive government. There wer
} over 10000 Asiatics here now and t,
. open the door to more would b
y against the well-being of the com
Q munity.
= Rep. White was opposed to tn
: Article passing, as there was no con
j stitutional provision for the inseI
Q ton of new Articles; only for amend
S ments. If the provisions only az
o piled to Chinese he would favor i
t but there seemed to be nothin
b. which would prevent its applicatio
