soon as we can get meeting of the sub

Jroduced early in the seSsion-three
weeks ago-and it is time that some
action was taken Oh it.
Mr.. lves-I think the bill SHOULD be
considered by the committee before re-
porting it to the house, unless Mr.. Hor-
toms position and previous good be-
haviOr entItle him to unusual priyi-
leges.
Mr.. Horton made the point of order
that the bill under the resolution was
technically upon the clerks desk.
Mr.. Ives-l don't know what the reso-
luton calls for, but if it calls for all in
telligent report of the committee, L i'll
sist that the committee have time to
consider it before reporting. There is a
meeting of the committee called for
Friday.
Mr.. Horton read from the resolution.
which required that the bill be reported
to the house within twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Horton remarked that he was sorry
that his colleague from "GoOse Flat"
calls it measure from the "silk-stock-
Ing" people, and continued: Other bills
that were introduced since this one are
now Oil the calendar, and if the house
permits this to 60 back to the sub-com-
mittee nothing short Of another reSolu-
ton will bring it out OF their hands.
Mr.. lves-Mr. Horton miSunderStands
my position. | do not desire the sub
committeeto consider this bill. In view
of the insinuatiOns of the gentleman
from st. Anthony Hill, will not con-
slider the bill or have anything to do
with it. Probably the distinguish bed
Statesman'S past services and meritorl-
Gus conduct lead him to think that the
bill ought to be passed to its third read
ing at once. If it is referred back it
will have to go to some other sub-com-
mittee, for l will have nothing whatever
to do with it,"
Then came the question OF the recon-
mitment of the bill.
Mr.. Horton raised the point of order
that this could not be done under the
rules.
Mr.. Greer, who was in the chair, read
from the rules, showing that the proper
course was to recommlt. Mr.. Horton
called attention to the resolution call
ing for the report from the chairman OF
the Judiciary committe, and asked how
it happened that Mr.. Ives was assuming
the prerOgatiVeS of the chairman, and
why he had become so suddenly great.
MI Ives was right back with the "re-
tort courteous" 1T appears to ME
that it is a small favor to grant me, that
of chairman of the judiciary commit
tee. when the gentleman is posing as
the manager of the entire outfit"
The vote was then taken on the mo-
ton to recommit. and it was by the fol-
lowing vote: Ayes, 81; noes. 80. Mr..
Wacek raised the point of order that
there was no quorum present.
The chair ruled that the point was
not we'll taken, as there were several
members present, but not voting.
The question was now on the motion
of Mr.. Horton, that the bill 60 on gen.
eral orders without recommendation.
Mr.. Bleecker-I have no desire to de-
lay the consideration of the bill. L
want to call attention, though, to the
methods being pursued. Not because
there have not been delays all around,
but the question is as TO whether or not
the bill is in the hands of the commit
tee. 1t can be taken out OF the hands OF
any person who has it in his possession
and placed directly on general orders
without action. 1t is dangerous prece-
dent to establish.
Mr.. Turrell-There is no better time
than now to settle this question: No
question that it is within the power of
this house at any time to order pre-
action has been entirely under the rules.
Mr. Cairns held that under the reSolu-
ton, handing the bill to the desk was
the same as IL the committee had re-
ported.
There was some more flashing of fire
then. Mr.. Fletcher explained his posi-
ton and closed by saying that he
thought the airing the bill had been
given was good thing, as members
would know more about it and be pre-
pared to vote when it came up on gen.
eral orders.
Mr.. Leonard said he would like to
play ball, and, as there was no prospect
of any business being transacted, moved
to take recess.
Mr.. Cotton moved the previous ques-
ton, which prevailed, and the bill goes
on general orders.
A recess was then taken to 2:30 p. m.
In the Afternoon.
Upon reassembling Mr.. Greer moved
that FL. +. No. "a, introduced by himself
and placed on general orders without
recommendation, be recOmmltted to the
grain and warehouse committee without
losing place on general orders. The
motion prevailed Mr.. Heinrichs was
granted leave of absence for the balance
of the week.
Mr.. Abbott introduced a resolution
that James Leon be employed as a
Waterman at salary of So per day. Re-
ferred to committee on legislative eX-
penses.
Mr.. Winston handed up resolution
instructing the chief clerk to supply
general orders and printed bills to each
member. Carried.
Mr.. Horton introduced a resolution to
the effect that the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton be granted the use of the repre-
sentative hall on Feb. %. Carried.
After some squabbling over the ques-
ton of printing all the text book bills
now before the committee OIL education
introduced fitty-five bills while MI.
Horton was in the chair.
