Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Presi
dent. 1t occurs to me that | shall IN
troduce a bill tomorrow for the incor
poratiOn of a home for feeble-minded
and it occurred to me that the bill
should be sent to one of the legal com
mittees; and if that be true. all peti
lions and the report Of the COMMITTEE
should be referred to the same com
mittee, as they would be thus aided II
determining the advisability of estab
fishing such a home; and I therefor
move that the vote whereby the re
port was referred to the committee Of
appropriations and financial affairs, b
reconsidered, and that the report Ii
upon the table pending its referenc
either to the committee on judiciar
or the committee on legal affairs. a
the purport of the bill is to incorporat
a home Of that kind; and it seems t
me that il that goes through that way
then all the other matters relating I
1t should go to one of those commit
tees; and afterwards. if they recon
mend an appropriation. it should the
20 to the committee on appropriation
and financial affairs.
