To Facilitate Work.
| Senate resolution, adopting addi-
| tlonal rules for the Senate requiring
| all bills to be typewriter. and a lock-
ed box for the deposit of bills, and au-
thorizing the chief clerk to employ
| three competent stenographers.
| Mr.. Webb explained that the bill
was practically the one which was in
| troduced early in the session. The
House failed to pass the former bill
The theory on which the committee
acted, Mr.. Webb stated. was that the
additional clerks would be no addi-
tional cost to the Senate, as heretofore
bills have been written with pen. and
| the resolution required that the Jour
nails be made in duplicate one copy to
be deposited with the Secretary of
State, and the duplicate with the state
Printer, thus doing now what must be
done later.
Mr.. Burton offered an amendment
and opposed the resolution.
Mr.. Wright favored the passage of
the bill.
Mr. Mason. of CASTOR, said he voted
for the bill formerly, but the House
voted the bill down, and in Difference
to the House he would now vote
against it. and he said toe, that if
stenographers were employed the bills
would miraculously multiply.
Mr.. Webb said the Senate was not
making rule for the House and it
was we'll known that the bill was de-
feated in the House largely because
members were influenced by friends
iwho wanted positions in that body.
I He said it was q matter of economy
and the business of the Senate could
be dispatched more satisfactorily.
Mr.. Ward said he sent forward the
resolution because he sent forward
resolution several days ago so badly
written that the reading clerk made
many mistakes in reading it, and be-
sides he had paid out many dollars for
having bills typewriter.
Mr. Burton'S amendment provided
that the bills and amendments may
or may not be typewriter, but may
be offered in manuscript.
Mr.. Gillian said either the amend
ment or the bill ought to be killed,
and that he would oppose the bill.
Mr.. Vann opposed the bill, and
Mr. Foushee favored it. The ma
jority of the Senator's present eX-
pressed themselves upon the. bill.
The amendment was killed, when
put to a vote, and the original resolu-
ton was adopted by vote of 20 to 16.
