per diem of the present session being in
excess of that of two years ago 1T really
was less. The "Record-Union," he said,
was very careful newspaper, and very
accurate and fair in its reports, and he
fett certain that a mistake had been
made without the knowledge or intent

BILLS BY REQUEST
Wilmington for the Committee on
Rules reported back the proposed new
rule providing that no bill shall be pre-
| sented by request, with the recon-
mendation that it be adopted.
Bulla said there were in many cases
large minorities with which Senator'S
We're not, politically, in accord. Such
| mlnorities desired bills presented, and he
conscientiously believed it was his duty
to present lhe bill of the minority for
| consideration before the Senate. He,
however, would not care to have the
| bill go on record as being presented by
him unless it was shown to be by re-
| quest.
! Dickinson said the object of the rule
| was to cut down expenses by having
| bills stopped at introduction instead OF
on committee file after they had re-
turned from the printer. The proper
time to stop such bills was before they
were introduced
| Seawell said his honest conviction was
that no bill should be introduced by re-
quest. He should support the resolu-
ton to adopt the new rule. but would
not object to amending the same.
| Morehouse favored the introduction
of bills by request.
| Simpson favored the adoption of the
rule recommended by the committee. He
did not believe in lodging behind so
little thing as 'by request If a bill
was proper one, it should be adopted,
if not it should be thrown aside.
| Dwyer said he had that morning re-
ceived three bills from members of the
minority which he had been requested to
| introduce. He was not prepared to say
whether the bills were good ones or
not, and thought it but justice that he
| should be allowed to present them by re-
quest
Bert favored introduction by request,
stating that the Secretary of State had
| handed him a bill, requesting that it be
presented. He knew nothing whatever
about the matter but merely desired to
favor the Secretary of State by intro
ducing the same.
Androus also had a bill to present by
request, that he knew nothing of.
VOORHEES, said he had introduced more
bills by request than any other Senator.
He had introduced fifty received from
the State Board of Examiners, which
carried majority of the appropriations
| for the session. He did not want to go
on record as having put in all of the ap-
preparation bills.
Wilmington favored the adoption of
| the new rule.
| The resolution was lost by vote of
| 16 to IS.
