take up so much of the Houses time.
The Legislature could not instruct the
Governor as to what he should do, and
he did not think the resolution should
be adopted.
Emmeluth, while not agreeing with
Dickey, still thought the resolution
should be laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the public lands bill.
