the time in display Of oratorical f1re-
works regarding the approaching VISIT
of President Roosevelt When the

No. 165, An act to permit and author
ize a levy of IL mills for road fund

the travelling auditor the examining Of
ficer, was passed.
Mr.. Baca then asked unanimous con-
sent to offer resolution. This was
granted and the resolution was read. 1t
proyides for the entertainment of Pres
ident Roosevelt, but carries no appro-
priation as did the resolution Of the
afternoon. Mr.. Baca moved to suspend
the rules for it's consideration and
adoption. Mr. Llewellyn opposed the
motion and said that its adoption
would cause confusion. He again re-
ferred to the discourtesy to the COVER
nor and the mayors of the cities
where the president will stop, should
the legislature, which has not been
notified by the president OF his VISIT
attempt to take charge of the enter
tainment. Mr.. Baca replied to Mr.
Llewellyn and termed the reasons ne
advanced absurd. He spoke at some
length and with some vigor and the
debate between the two was repeti-
tion of the debate on the same subject
in the afternoon. Mr.. Dalies was
against the resolution on the ground
that too many cooks spoil the broth.
Mr.. Turner had few words to say
but he stated that he 'entered the dis-
cussion with fear and trembling" Ine
House refused to suspend the rules by
vote Of 13 to Z.
AS soon as the question was deter
mined. Mr.. Fitzpatrick moved to ad-
journ and this was ordered by vote
