The amended revised code will come
Into the house this morning, with rec
ommendation from the judiciary commit
tee that 1t pass.
The committee held its final sitting OF
the new code yesterday afternoon L
was decided to make no change in the
date when it is to be put into effect. AS
originally introduced the code was made
effective Dee. l., 1905. Strong pressure
has been brought to bear on the commit
:. tee to- change this date to JAN 1, 1907
out the recommendation of the commit
: tee VIII mot recognize any change in the
cate when 1t is to be made effective.
VIII Be Special Order
1t is understood that the new code will
be made special order for next Monday
afternoon at o'clock. 1t will be a spe-
cial order for each afternoon of the session
until it is finally disposed of. In order to
intelligenty discuss the code, with its
j 800 amendments made in committee. the
committee amendments will be printed
and laid on the table along with the orig
inal copies of the code. The amendments
have been reported from day to day in
the house, and yesterday w. P. Roberts,
of the judiciary committee put a resolu-
ton through the house authorizing the
printing of 1000 copies of the amend
ments for the use of the members in
making comparisons with the original
code.
1T has been a big task" said Chair
man w. B. Anderson, of the committee,
last night. Our report will make some
nifty typewriter pages, in addition to
the amendments which have been sub
mitted to the house from day to day.
These amendments may not be in shape
for submission in printed form for a day
or two, and possibly the code and the ac-
companying report will not be considered
in committee of the whole until next Mon
day. The. committee did not take up the
question of the date when the code is TO
be made effective at its meeting today,
though L understand the matter has been
informally discussed among Its members.
Expects Opposition
1t is planned to make the code a spe-
cial order for each day until its final con-
sideration. I expected to see the code
passed by the house, though I realize that
there is opposition to it. All the serious
objections. 1 believe, have been met and
overcome by the action of the judiciary
committee. Certainly the members of the
committee have worked faithfully in put
ting the code in shape for a recommends
ton"
A movement was started yesterday
among leaders of the house to fix March
10 as the last day for the introduction of
bills. Ordinarily the final date for the
introduction is twenty days before the
session. The attorney general has ruled
that April IS is the last day of the present
session. 1t is said that Speaker Clague is
one Of those who believe that the intro
duction of bills should be limited to March
10. If the rule is inforced, it will mean
a flooding of the house with bills during
the remaining two weeks before the mid
die of the month: but it is urged that the
rule will mean that better consideration
can be given the bills now pending and
to be introduced during the next two
weeks.
