The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-03

tee, to De cOnSlQeFeu at the catitS tithhe a like section is considered from the Committee on Education.
 MT. Browne-Mr. President, as Chair man of the Committee I will state that
 we have given this thing our most careful consideration, and that there Is no necessity to send it back to the Committee. It will be reported just exactly as 1t Is now, and I do not see l why a matter of taxes should be left and held here until the Committees on | Education reports. Certainly the Com- | mittee on Education can report no tax article. I therefore move to lay the motion of the gentleman on the table. | Mir. Ashcraft-I think the Chair has
 misunderstood the effect of the motion. ! Mir. Bulger-My motion only includes ] that part of Section 5 which relates to | special taxes for school purposes. MT. Heflin (Chambers)-If I under | stood him, Mir. President. the gentle | man from Tallapoosa moved to strike l from the middle of the twelfth line of | Section where it reads provided fur l ther" to the remainder of the Section. | as I understood 1t.
 MT. Bulger-That is right. | Mir. Harrison-I call attention to the | rule of the House which requires these motions to be in writing, and that it | is therefore out of order. The President pro tem-The present occupant of the Chair Is not aware | of the rule.
 Mr. Lomax-I submit that the rule does not apply to a motion to postpone
 or refer, but it applies to an amend ment.
 The President pro tem-The Chair is or the opinion that it does not apply to | motion of this character. <o t,1 ~st | out. There was a difference between gentlemen as to what the motion was. The President pro tem-The gentle | man from Tallapoosa moves to recom- | mi. all of Section 5, beginning with | the word provided" in the twelfth | line, will the gentleman put his mo- | ton in writing?
 MT. Reese-I make the point of or | der that this House cannot consider a | motion that is not In writing. and 1t
 has universally been ruled that this Convention
 | MT. Jenkins-I offer a substitute to
 the motion of the gentleman from Tcl- lapoosa.
 The President pro tem-The Chair
 would hold that a substitute is not in
 orde: at this time.
 MT. Williams (Barbour)-I yielded to
 nobody but the gentleman from Talia-
 poosa to make a motion. I am holding | the floor.
 | MT. Reese-A point of order. There
 can be no proposition before this Gen.
 vention of the character made by the gentleman from Tallapoosa unless it is
 in writing: therefore there is no prop
 osition before this House and the
 amendment by the gentleman from | Wilcox is out of order. | MT. O'Neal (Lauderdale)-Will the | gentleman allow a question? MT. Heflin (Randolph)-I make the further point of order that the Een- | tlemaa from Barbour has the ficor | a1d yielded only to the gentle nan fl ( m | Tallaroosa.
 The President pro tem-Au motto ns | of that character the Chair would hold
 should be in writing. As the motion
 of tha gentleman from Tallapoosa was
 not in writing. the chair will hold it
 was out of order, and the gentl eman from Barbour has the floor. Mir. Williams (Barbour)-I will not
 trouble the Convention but .- minute or two longer
 Mir. Oates-If the delegate from Ear bour will allow me. hear much differ
 ence of opinion expressed, sn1 I would ask him on this point, it seems that the proposition of the Committee was | that only tax payers should be al- | lowed to vote in proportion to the
 amount of taxes paid.
 Mir. Gilmore-I make a point of or l der.
 The President-Win the, gentleman from Montgomery suspend? Tie gem
 tleman will state the point of order. Mir. Gilmore-The gentleman from Barbour has consumed his time. Mr TnHUa (Ia@arQ0pN-T -n0yo tn the time of the gentleman Crom Bar bour be extended five minutes. The President pro tem-The time
 kept by the Chair shows that the gen. tleman from Barbour had two minutes left when he yielded to the gentleman from Tallapoosa.
 MT. Lowe (Jefferson)-I move that
 the time of the gentleman from Bar
 bour be extended five minutes. The President pro tem-The Chair
 holds that the gentleman's time has
 not expired, and that he has two min- utes.
 Mr. Browne-I make the point of or
 der that the gentleman from Barbour
 cannot yield for the purpose of intro- ducing a motion by the gentleman from Tallapoosa without allowing a motion to be made to lay that motion on the table.
 The President pro tem-The gentle man from Barbour yielded to the gen. tleman from Tallapoosa, and the gen.
 tlemar from Tallapooss. offered a mo- tion, which was ruled out of order; then the Chair held that the gentleman from Barbour had the floor. MT. Heflin (Chambers)-I rise to a point of order, that the motion made
 by the gentleman from Jefferson, as l understood it,, to extend the time of
 the gentleman from Barbour five min | utes, under the rules of this House,
 this Convention stands adjourned at
 o'clock. and 1t Is now, I understand,
 about three or four minutes to 1. and
 unless the rules are suspended We could | not go beyond o'clock The President pro tem-The Chair
 will entertain the motion of the gen. tleman from Jefferson. The Chair was laboring under the impression that the gentleman from Jefferson did not know that the time of the gentleman from
 Barbour had not expired. It is now moved by the gentleman from Jcffer- son that the gentleman's time be ex- tended five minutes.
 During the stating of the question and the taking of the vote, Mir. Reese
 (Dallas), and MT. Pettus Gim estone)
 sought to secure recognition upon a
 point of order, but failed
 And upon the vote being taken. the
 time of the gentleman from BaltCur was declared to be extended for five minutes.
 Mr. Reese-I rise to a parli lrnentary inquiry.
