the Leoisiature. of course, he should not collect mileage from the State. But | have no right to presume that such is or would be the case, that any mem- her would travel upon q pass and then collect mileage.
 Mfr. Brooks--I move for . division of the question so that the question of taking vote on the first part of the amendment can bs passed on separate ly from the last part.
 MT. de0raffenreid--I am opposed to members of the General Assembly using passes, but am going to move to lay the amendment on the table and then division can be called for.
 MT. Reese-I would ask the gentle man to withdraw that so that can offer a substitute for this amendment.
 Mir. de9rnnffenreid--t will withdraw 1t if the House permits me.
 The. motion to table was permitted to be withdrawn apu the al,ienument substitute of the delegate from Dallas was read as follows:
 Amend by striking out the word sten" and insert the word ''five." Mir. Reese--That amendment only relates to the first part of the amend ment of the delegate from Pike. When we dispose of this matter the other matter can then be brought directly before the Convention as to whether legislator can receive pay for mile- age when he has not paid his fare.
 Mir. deGraffenreid--I move to lay the amendment to the amendment on the table. and the whole business.
 Mir. Brooks--I call for division of the question.
 MT. spears-Upon that division of the question I call for the ayes and noes.
 Mr. oates--The division calls for a separation of the proposition striking out ten and substituting five, and the other Is as to the pass proposition.

 Mr. oates-If the delegate withdraws that will move for a division.
 Mir. NeSmith--Under the rules that cannot be divided.
 The President pro tem--The Chair is of the opinion that the question in- volved in the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pike is divisible,
 Mr. Brooks-I made the motion first Q tzfA nH A.< = wish to say that the Convention in laying upon the table the substitute ot the gentleman from Dallas relieves tho House from the necessity of hay. ing any division of the question as that strikes the first proposition out.
 MT. Pettus--I rise to Q point of or- der. A motion to table Is not debat- able.
 MT. Oates-I do not understand that there Is any motion to table now pend- ing.
 The President pro tem-Then the question now is upon the adoption of the amendment of the delegate from Pike.
 MT. deGraffenreid--And on that I call for the previous question.
 Mir. Waddell--I offei an amendment.
 MT. Reese--I rise to a point of order. there is a motion to table and no amendment can be offered at this time, and l call for the ayes and noes I de- sire to have the house put on record as to whether they are going to pay legislators mileage when they have passes.

 The President pro tem-The point Is well taken and the motion is to table Pike.
 MT. deGraffenreld--I call for a divis- ion of the question.
 The President pro tem-In the opin- ion of the chair, the amendment off, fered by the gentleman from Pike is divisible, and the question Is, shall the question be divided?
 MT. Reese-If 1t is capable of division, that is a matter of right and does not have to be submitted to the house. On the last proposition embraced in the amendment, I demand the ayes and noes.
 The President pro tem-It is the opin- ion of the chair that the question is capable of division, and the first part will first be put to the Convention, and the call of the gentleman from Dallas is a little premature at this time. The first part of the amendment is to strike out ten and insert five, and the ques- tion Is on that part of the amendment.
 MT. Pillans-I understood the ques- tion to be on the motion to table.
 Mir. Browne-On that the gentleman from Montgomery demands the yeas and nays.
