I Mf. WHtthms--i HoW fctiS" sA~~~ ton.
 MT. Bulger-I move to lay that mo- tion on the table.
 | Mr. Sanford (Pike)-1 rise to a point of order. It Is no longer a sub | sidiary motion, but 1t has been adopt | ed as Section. at Is no longer sub-
 sidiary motion and cannot be consid-
 cred as such and the only way 1t can | be considered is as an original Sec ton.
 Mir. O'Neal-And under the rules 1t
 cannot be considered until tomorrow | morning., and I give notice again that | consider the Section as adopted. | Mir. Williams-Just one word on that. It strikes me the motion of the gentleman from Lauderdale Is out of | order. If the position of the delegate | iron, Montgomery. Mir. Lomax. Is cor rect then this motion to reconsider, | under the rules of the Chair, should come up at this time and may be prop erly laid on the table on the motion | of the delegate from Tallapoosa. The Presidential would not cut of motion, the Chair would say. to re- consider the whole Section. The Chair | regards it as an incidental or subsi- diary question which should have been considered then.
 MT. Greer (Calhoun)-I suppose the House fell into an error by virtue of an error in the ruling of the Chair, therefore. the Chair has the right to correct the error and ought to do it. Mir. Lomax-I desire to say that the gentleman from Marengo credits me | with the point of order made by the gentleman from Pike, MT. Sanford. desire to correct him. T AaH hs, h.. Chair that after an amendment has | adopted as an original Section, it is too late for the Chair to correct any errors by doing useless thing, and having a reconsideration of an amend | ment that Is then incorporated in the Constitution.
 The President-The point of order is | we'll taken and the Secretary will read | the next Section.
 Section 30 was read by the Secretary: Sec. 30. The general appropriation | bill shall embrace nothing but appro- priations for the ordinary expenses of l the Executive, Legislative and Judi cial Departments of the State, interest on the debt and for the public schools. The salary of no officer or employe shall be increased in such bills, nor shall any appropriation be made for any officer or employe unless his em- ployment and the amount of his salary have already been provided for by law. All other appropriations shall be made by separate bills, and each embracing but one subject.
 MT. Long (Walker)-I ask unani- nous consent to offer a short resolu- tion.
 The Secretary started to read the resolution.
 MT. Jones-I would like to know how that resolution got in. The rules have not been suspended.
 President-There was no objection. MT. Jones-I was objecting all of the time.
 Mir. O'Neal-I rise to a point of order. The objection comes too late.
 President-The Chair did not hear 1t. but several of the gentlemen say they question again.
 MT. O'Neal-I move that the rules be suspended and that the gentleman from Walker be allowed to offer the resolution now.
 A Delegate-I move to suspend the rules that the delegate from Walker may have leave to offer his resolution. The question Is on suspension of rules.
 Mir. Heflin (Chambers)-I make the point of order that the Chair said un- less objection is made the resolution may be sent up, and the Chair hears none. and the gentleman will send up the resolution.
 The President-The Chair will state for the benefit of the delegate from Walker, he so announced thas the point of order was well taken, but several delegates said they had made objec- tions and In deference to the wishes of the Convention. the Chair would put 1t over. The question Is on the motion to suspend the rules.
 The motion was carried and the rules were suspended.
 The Clerk then read the resolution offered by MT. Long of Walker. as fol- lows: Whereas. a wave of patriotism has taken a rabid hold upon some of the members of this Convention to such an extent as to wound their consciences by being required to draw their per diem, and whereas. this Convention has no intention of infringing upon the right of any delegate. Therefore, be it resolved. by the people of Alabama in Convention assembled, That the Sec retary be and he is hereby required to secure a blank book to be used only by the members who desire no pay, which fact shall be determined by the member signing his name therein said book. to be kept open for signatures of volunteer members at all hours, and the Secretary shall witness each sigma ture under the proper date. and no member shall be allowed any pay from the State thereafter.
 Provided, that the hotels, restau- rants. boarding houses and saloons of Montgomery be and they are hereby re- quired to furnish free of charge. board, lodging, laundry, liquors and cigars to such members as voluntarily surrender their pay. Because the Good Book says: The laborer is worthy of his hire and the ass shall not be mug zled." (Prolonged laughter)
 Mir. Long (Walker)-I ask that the resolution be referred to Mir. White.
 Mir. Cobb-I desire to be heard on that resolution.
 Mir. Heflin (Chambers)--I call for the regular order.
 Mir Reese-I move that the gentle man be granted leave to be heard.
 Unanimous consent was given.
 MT. Cobb-I do not allow any human being to question my Democracy. believe I am just as good a Democrat as any man on this floor. We'll, am. with the exception of my friend from Chambers over there. possibly. and maybe my friend from Jefferson. Be- ing a good Democrat, I am friend of the people.
 Mir. Kirkland-I rise to a point of parliamentary inquiry. What is before this House?
 MT. Cobb--I am.
