IN THE COUNCIL
A question of courtesy between the |
two houses was the first matter that |
came up in the council this morning. |
Very few members of either house have |
been members Of any legislative body |
before and are consequently not very
we'll informed as to the proper proceed |
ure in the work of passing bills. Num- |
erous concurrent and joint resolutions |
have been passing between the two |
houses. While the council has inva- |
riably considered those of the house by |
either adopting them Immediately or |
nave taken the trouble to read them |
and refer them to the different commit |
tees. the house has invariably re- |
turned those of the council without |
comment accompanied by a resolution |
of their own on the same subject This !
kept the council continually busy con-
sidering the resolutions of the house to |
the detriment of its own business. A. |
G. Scott the scholarly member from /
Oklahoma county Strengthened the mat |
ter up by suggesting that the way to |
do business was simply to receive such |
resolutions from the house and then |
act upon them in their proper order. |
but not interrupt the business on hand /
whenever one OF them made its APP
pearance.
A number of bills We're presented |
and referred.
All the bills introduced on the fourth |
day of the session of the council were
in relation to amending the statutes
of Oklahoma.
