Mr.. Barela then called up H. B. No. So,
providing for the printing of bills, ETC.,
in the Spanish language, and the bill was
read third time under suspension of the
rules.
Mr.. Montoya moved the further sus-
pension of the rules and that the bill be
put on it's passage. Carried.
Mr.. Barela moved that the bill now
pass. Carried.
Mr.. Hopewell asked that II. B. No. co,
providing for deficiencies in the expenses
of the cattle sanitary board, be taken
up under suspension of the rules, that the
printing and translating be dispensed
with, and the bill be referred to the COM
mittee on the stock and stock raising
with instructions to report at p. m.
Carried.
Mr.. Read asked if the finance commit
tee would be ready to report H. B. No.
Il, providing for clerical help in the
treasurer's and auditors offices. The
speaker informed him that the bill was in
the hands of the printer and it would be
improper to instruct the committee I'M
der the circumstances.
Under the call of business H. B. N. 12-
By Mr.. Read, to abolish the office of dis
trict attorney and create that of county
attorney, the latter to be elective, was
taken from the speaker table, and the
bill and adverse report of the judiciary
committee thereon were read.
Mr.. Read moved that his bill, together
with the similar bill introduced by Mr..
Bland, be referred to the judiciary com
mittee for the purpose of reporting
bill that would be acceptable to the
house. He intimated that there was
some political purpose behind the re.
port.
Mr.. Hopewell said he was in favor of
electing county attorneys by direct vote
of the people, and seconded Mr.. Reads
motion.
Mr.. Barela said that at the time the
adverse report of the judiciary committee
was made Mr.. Bland was ignorant of its
contents, and there was no politics in the
matter at all. When proper measure
was drafted the committee would be glad
to favor it.
Mr. Reads motion to refer his bill was
adopted.
Mr.. Martinez bill, H. B. No. 8, provid-
ing that man 60 years of age may serve
on juries if he so desires, was taken up
and its third reading ordered.
Mr.. Hopewell moved to lay the bill on
the table. Mr.. Read in explaining his
vote on the question made very strong
plea for the BILL and changed the senti-
ment of the house in its favor, as Mr..
Frampton and Mr.. Chavez changed their
votes from year to no, and the motion to
table was thus lost.
Mr.. Martinez moved the passage of the
bill.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to adjourn, but was
ruled out of order.
Mr.. Martinez motion then prevailed,
and the bill passed.
Mr.. McMullen moved to reconsider and
to lay that motion on the table indifnite-
ly, which was SO ordered.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to adjourn until
o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Barela amended this to 10 o'clock
a. IN. Jan. Z.
Mr.. Hopewell rose to address the chair
but was ruled out of order ON the ground
that the motion was not debatable. The
motion prevailed, and the house at II
O'Clock adjourned until 10 O'Clock a. m.
