CONFUSION OVER JOINT RULES.


The changes in the joint rules are oc.
casioning some needless confusion, AS
they are few and simple. The three
changes provide for the signature OF all
bills by the presiding officers Of both
houses after their passage: strike out the
joint rule providing that no bills shall be
introduced after November /. because this
conflicts with the House and Senate rules
on that subject. and provide for the ap-
pointment of the clerk of the revision
committee by the joint action of the presi-
dent of the Senate, the speaker of the
House, the secretary of the Senate and
the clerk of the House.
The appointment of the standing COM
mittees in the Senate this morning placed
that body on working basis. These ap-
pointments were made under the new
rules by the acknowledgements. the
president pro tempore of the Senate and
one senator Senator Holden. So far ms
heard these committee appointments give
general satisfaction and In them few
round pegs are found in square holes Sen
ator Van Patten Of Burlington is chair
man of the committee on municipal cor
porations, a position he is emlnently
qualified TO fill.
Joint standing committees were appoint
ed to-day in both houses to examine into
the methods OF bookkeeping in the State
auditors Office and to report by bill or
otherwise. Senator Van Patten Is chair
man of this committee on the part the
Senate.
