amCng republican members from vot-
ing on important measures, compelling
democrats to proiuse a quorum:

member, tee clerk hall certify to the
list Of msmbers not voting on such
roll call TO the ssrgeEt-atarms, who
shall deduct from The monthly COM
pensatlon OF each member so failing to
vote the amount OF his salary for one
day. Provided, this deduction shall
not be made in case members are absent
oy Lave of the house."

visions witb out law which says that the
salary Of members absent, except on
account of sickness, shall be deducted
during the time of absence. Hereto
fore, however. The sergeant-at-arms bad
no way OF officially ascertaining the
sb=ence of any member.
II is thought the loss of pay for
failure 70 v1te would put stop to the
practice OF refusing TO respond, when
called on to vote.
