 MT. Harrison-I have not examined as to that If there is any other state ot the Union that has any lower limit, it does not affect Alabama. l know IL IS enough for any county in Alabama, ana if you exceed that; you will defauit oh your public debt.

 And the section as amended was Mr Rrowne-I desire to offer an amendment to the article reported oy the Committee.
 Mr Long (Walker)-I ask unanimous consent to offer a resoIption 10 ha'e 1t referred. It is short.

 MT. Browne-It has no number, put it will be numbered when the wnole article is complete.
 MT. Long (Walker)-It is in o1der 10 read the original section as rerorseo. MT. Browne-I can explain II, 1T IL needs explanation.
 The President-What is the proposi- tion of the gentleman from Talladega MT Browne-The proposition IS an amendment to the article reported Dy the Committee. by incorporating a sec tion in the article as reported. It mas no number.
 MT. Oates-Is that in order to cffer a section. until the article IS complet- ed?' Then it seems to me woI!d De ep- propriate time and place to offer the additional section. After it Is complet- ed. 1t would be in order to offer an amendment to the article.
 MT. Browne-That is all brought about by a ruling of the Chair when the Committee on Executive Depart ment was reporting. I then offered ar amendment to the whole article. tc -I NNa a z laid upon the table. and the chair held that that could not be done as that section was laid uponthe table. But now offer Q new section and there ts nc rule which requires one t4 wait until every section reported by ;he Commit tee has been considered bsfore you car offer an amendment by adding anotl'el section.
 MT. Long (Walker)-I make the point pf order that no amendment can bt offered before the House until the nex section Is reached.
 Mr. Browne-The whole article is be Fore the House.
 MT. Long-It is being considered sec kion by section. l make the further point of order that this section has rev Ar been read, so he cannot offer al amendment to 1t. .. MT. Browne-In reply to the point 0
 
 never could offer 1t beca1se after th last section has been considered ant acted upon the gentleman could Sd, with equal force that there was n' section before the House.
 The President-The gentleman iron Talladega does not state the ruling o the Chair. as the chair recollects 1t The Chair did not rule so far as tn recollection of the Chair now goes. tna
 @H fiNlA a 1t could not be amended by adding ad ditional sections. On the contrary, tn recollection of the Chair is that tn ruling was that additional section might be added, and they were aode' to the report of the Committee on FIX ecutive Department. Now the question is made that the Convention has unde consideration the report of the Com mittee on Taxation, and that it is con sidering it section by section. and tba nine sections have been disposed oi and the next order would be the con sideration of section 10. snd the gen tleman from Talladega moves to amen the article by adding an additiona section.
 Mir, Browne-I did not move t amend by adding. By incorporating section in the article as reported, bu not by adding it; by incorporating
 
 The President-What number does tn gentleman desire-
 Mir Browne-I have not given 1t an number. I will say mark it-
 The President-Nine and half?
 MT. Browne-Mark it nine and hal and let the Committee on Harmon ics'' fix the number, or mark it ten.
 MT. PettusEI rise to point of or der. Under the rule adopted, the reg ular procedure Is the consideration c the report of the Committee on Taxa ton section by section; until that or der is completed. an amendment to tn whole article. by incorporating a ne, section. is not in order, without a sus pension of the rules.
 Mir Browne-I make the point of or der, and there are a great mary gen tlemen here who have sat in differer legislative bodies and they all 'kno, 1t is correct, that in considering an ordinance or act by section, It Is com petent to offer to amend the WkoI act by incorporating In the act en hd ditional section. at any point when yo have concluded the consideration of section.
 The Presjdent-The Chair is in dout upon the ruling and will reserve tn ruling and announce II at the after noon session. The Chair is unable a present to decide what ruling snoul be made. Does the gentleman fror Montgomery desire to discuss the queS tion?
