the Loan Bill which was so done
Keliinoi moved that the members
from each district take the items
as appropriated by the committee
for each county aud to report some
time next week. Speaker Bsckley,
who was then in the chair, said
that the motion could not be en-
teri aimed, but the House must go
into Com mittee OF the Whole and
then commit the items, And on
motion Of Kuudsen, the House went
into COMMITTEES of the Whole, with
Long in the chair. The report OF
the committee was then ordered
read on Knudsen's motion.
Chillingworth moved to take up
the Territorial items and dispose of
those fret. He thought that this
would be the only proper course.
alae said that it was better to
kill two birds with one stone, and
moved that the prorating made by
the committee be referred to the
members from each county, making
them sub committees Of this CON-
mittee.
Kaniho held this bill should not
be considered at this extra session.
But before proceeding he asked
what was being considered, whether
it was the bill or the report, and the
| Chair ruled House Bill 2 was being
considered. Then Kanho said that
this was making an enactment that
should have been considered at the
regular session. By looking at the
bill, he notices that it is appropriat
ing money, but it does not state
that it is a portion of the amount
authorized by an Act passed during
the regular session.
Harris rose to a point Of order
and said that the Committee was
considering the report OF the com
mittee together with the bill. And
Kaniho said that was what he asked
the Chair and the Chair stated that
Bill 2 was being co asidersd. Kaniho
was supported by Bsckley and
Paele. Some said the Chair was
out when he ruled. The Chair
then stated that Bill was referred
to the committee, but no report.
''But the report was read" said one
aud the Chair said "yss, the motion
was that the report be read, which
was go done, and no motion was
made to refer the report" This
Immediately forced Harris to move
that the report be as we'll taken ur
aud cons, dered. Carried.
Harris also moved for the adop
ton OF the report, and that brought
Il Beckley to his feet, saying that tina,
i would virtually pass the bill or
Essco4d reading, and then there
Would be nothing else to do. Thi'
created ,some wordy bantering be
tween several members.
