 Mir. weatherly-I submit to the chair | that Rule 2S requires that all resolu- | tions as distinguished from ordinances shall be referred to the Committee on | Rules and this is the exception which WAS engrafted at the request of the | gentleman from Montgomery except l resolutions relating to the privileges of | the Convention or of members, orders of the day. motions to discharge the | Committee on Rules from the consider ation of a resolution or to order 1t to report back by a day certain" That is my recollection of the rule as amended.
 MT. Wilson eClarke)--I call attention of the President to Rule 54 which de- fines the term resolution" and the term ordinance as used in these rules. Rule 54 says that the term res olution as used in the rules refers to some proposition which Is not intended to be engrafted in the Constitution. Therefore when the rule that provides that all resolutions shall be referred to light of Rule 54 it must be construed that all resolutions which do not have for their purpose the engrafting of something into the Constitution shall be referred to the Committee on Rules and any proposition which is meant to be made part of the Constitution, whether the delegate calls it 8 resolu- tion. a composition or what not, goes to the appropriate Committee and is
 not governed by the rule referred to by the gentleman from Jefferson. The President pro tem.-The Chair | is of the opinion that the delegate from Clarke puts the proper construction up- l on the rule. Wherever the resolution refers to some matter that is a rule | of proceeding or something other than | something to go in the Constitution, | it certainly is required to be sent to the Committee on Rules but though 1t be | in the form of a resolution when it pertains to changes in the Constitu- | tion it should be referred to the com mittee having Jurisdiction over that branch of the Constitution. Ordinance No. 104, by MT. Howell: Regulating the per diem and mileage | of the General Assembly of Alabama. Section 1.
