RESOLUTION
DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Judiciary Committee Puts
Quietus on Lay Members
Proposal

The house yesterday voted down a
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Edward Tanning, of Olmsted, re-
quiring the judiciary committee to re-
port amendments made to the various
chapters of the statute revision code as
rapidly as they are made. The object
of the resolution was to have the
amendments printed in the house jour
nal, that the lay members might be
able to compare the amendments with
the original, and thus be able to de-
termine what was going in the judiciary
committee room.
The resolution, which was introduced
Friday before the adjournment for the
Sunday recess, was called up yesterday
by its author, and members of the
Judiciary committee SO vigorously as
sailed it that it was put to sleep. On
a viva voce vote, r. ]. Wells, who was
In the chair, declared 1t lost. The roll
call was not demanded, but had it been
asked for many believed that the reSo-
luton would have carried.
judiciary Members Object
w. P Roberts, of Hennepin. had
given notice of debate when the reso-
luton was introduced, and yesterday
Mr.. Tanning called it up and moved Its
adoption by the house. Immediately
members of the Judiciary committee
began firing questions at the Olmsted
member. J.. A. Anderegg asked the
purpose Of the resolution, and wanted
TO know If Mr.. Tanning intended to
have the whole code printed in the
Journal. w. B. Anderson, chairman of
the Judiciary committee, said it was
impractical, for only one subcommit-
tee had reported on the chapters as
signed to it. He expected the other
subcommittee to report late In the
week.
M. j. O'Laughlin said it was we'll for
the committee to report out the code
as fast as it was amended, showing
what is being done in the committee.
1t would serve as a forecast and would
give the lay members of the house some
idea Of what to expect when the code
was reported out as bill.
When it is reported out it will be as
a whole bill, and the house can accept
1t or vote it down. Mr. Anderson said.
There will be nothing gained by hav-
ing the reports of the subcommittee
for the full committee may change
their work.
There was desultory firing along the
line, but the judiciary committee and
its sympathiZers voted more loudly
than did the Tanning faction, and the
resolution was declared defeated.
