SENATE IS FOR
THE SINGLE LIST
Strobe Resolution on This Line
is Adopted After Much
Debate.
SENATOR MARTINS ELECTION
House Has Fiery Discussions
Over Passage OF Two Salary
Increases.

Breezy debates marked the proceedings
OF both branches OF the General Assem-
bly, yesterday. after Joint session had
been held and the election OF United
States Senator Martin, which took place
the day before. confirmed.
The latter lasted but few moments.
and was purely formal. just prior TO Its
adjournment Senator Echols offered a
resolution for the appointment OF a COM
rlittee to notify Senator Martin OF his
recollection. and President Pro Tenn.
wickham named the following mem
bers: From the Senate---ATessra. Echois.
Tavenner and Shackeiford
From the House-Messrs. Martin, VIII
liams. Clement. Cochran, Lane and Pitts.
I. has not yet been determined whether
the notification will take place here or
in Washington.
The greater portion OF the Senate
session was consumed in the con-
s!deration of Mr. strode,s resolution
calling upon each of the public educa-
tional institutions OF the State to re-
commend man for membership on the
State Board OF Education. and at the
same time to express their views as to
whether the single book list should be
put into operation. The resolution was
finally adopted after much cross-flrng.
The question OF salary Increases
gagged the attention of the House for
over an hour. Bills We're up increasing
the salaries of the Commissioner of As-
ricuture and Superintendent of Public
INSTRUCTION each from $4,000 to $4,000.
After much discussion both the measures
were passed by substantial majorities
Clerk Sam w. Bigger, OF the Capitol
Building Commission communicated the
nnal report of that body to the two
houses and It was ordered printed.
There were /, large number of bills Of
fered in both branches and referred to
their respective committecs.

la unit than on the demand for single
list But in it's effects to the State Board
of Education and of politics the Con-
stitutional Convention, very nearly took
1t out of the reach of the people. The
people now elect there members, and all
three of these are committed to the
single list. Our constituents look to us
to do as much as we can to elect others
in favor of the single list. We are
limited in our selection to the six nomi-
nees. but hope. to be able to get from
this number, at least one and per-
haps two. who are committed In adj
vance to the single list. This. with
those already elected would give us a
majority of the six who would choose
the other two. and In this way the sub
stitution of the single list, would be as
sured.
Opposition came from many quarters.
Mr.. Shackleford, of Orange. Democratic
floor leader in the Senate. declared that
the matter OF the adoption OF a school
list. single or multiple was matter to
be left to the intelligent discretion OF
the board, and was not properly sub
ject to resolute or legislate upon" He
moved that the resolution be passed by.
Mr. Shackleford declared that two years
ago he considered that the conditions
demanded the multiple list. These con-
ditons did not exist to-day and he was
now in favor Of the single list. Beyond

Lawyers Take a Hand.

The lawyers got into debate over the
legal status of the bill. and some OF
those who spoke were Messrs. Byrd, Mar
tin, Williams. Massie, Royal and With
ers.
The next matter considered was the
bill offered by Mr.. Byrd making SIM
liar increase In the salary of the Sill
perintendent of Public Instruction. The
patron advocated the measure in brief
but able manner. and he was support
ed by Messrs. Petit. Masse. Pulliam.
Ould, Fuller, c. A. Johnston. Gwathmey.
Cation and Withers. The latter closed the
argumen, for the bill In a speech of
great force which kept the House In an
uproar of applause. Those who spoke in
opposition were Messrs. Martin VIII
liams. Green. West. Powell and others.
Dr. Powell likened himself and Major
Green unto heavyweight legislators
and declared that 1t was their duty to
''hold down. the new members.
Upon roll call the bill was passed by
n vote of 20 to 81.

THE SENATE.
Lively Debate Over Single Book
list Matter.

In the Senate the session began at
l1.45 o'clock with comparatively slim
attendance in the room The IS minute
advance in the time for the opening
caught several unawares, but senator's
began to come in rapidly Immediately
after the gavel fell and before the body
had gotten down to business practically
every desk was taken again. Visitors
We're few. Prayer was offered by the
Rev. DIR. w. r. L. Smith. pastor of the
Second Baptist Church.
Reports from standing committees and
the Introduction of new bills and reso-
buttons consumed the few minutes re-
naming and at noon, the hour pre-
scrbed by act Of Congress for the cleo

he considered it improper for the Senate
TO take the step proposed in the resolu-
ton. Similar views were expressed by
Mr.. Sadler, Mr.. Lincoln and others.
Keezell Lines Up.
AS chairman of the committee which
reported the resolution, Mr.. Keezell, of
Rockingham, lined up with Mr.. STROBE in
defense of the plan proposed. Judge
Phlegar, Mr.. Stands, Mr.. Noel and others
added their voice in advocacy OF the
resolution. Mr.. Walker suggested that
the matter be laid over until those who
were In sympathy with the object of the
resolution but did not endorse the method
it provided, could offer some less objec-
tionable plan. Mr.. Fulton suggested an
amendment appointing committee of
senators to confer with the College trus-
tees instead of calling upon the latter
to send communication to the Senate
upon the subject. After consulting with
Mr.. STROBE, Mr.. Fulton withdrew this
amendment.
''In view of what has gone BEFORE de-
clared Senator Keezell ''the Senate has
right to know how these nominees
stand on this question before we elect
any of them to membership on the State
Board. AS Mr.. Strobe has said, the peo
pie of Virginia are unit on this subject
and the boards should nominate men who
are In favor of the single list. BY this
multiple list the people have been taxed
forty per cent. more than was necessary,
| and I for one do not propose to vote
again for anybody unless l know his
position on this subject"
1t was pointed out that while the res
olution merely requested the nominees
to state their position, the language was
SO drawn as to virtually commit them
to the single list.
"That is exactly what i want to do,''
declared the Rockingham senator, dryly.
Tho motion to pass by was lost. I'm
der a call for the pending question the
| Storde resolution was then adopted by
an overwhelming majority.
A copy OF the resolution will be mailed
at once by the clerk OF the Senate to
tina presiding officers of each OF tho
boards.
Shortly after this the Senate adjourned
until noon to-day.

House, After Spirited Debate,
Passes Bills for Two Officers.

The House convened at 11:SO o'clock
in order to dispose of the morning hour
before the joint session which was fixed
for noon.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. w.
j. Young, of the Methodist church. and
at once there was another steady flow
of bills.
When the hour of IL o'clock arrived
the Senate came overloaded by it's otii-
GERS for the Joint session. and this body
disposed of the business of confirming
the election of Senator Martin in few
moments.
mresident Pro Tenn Wickham occupied
the chair and the clerks of the two
Houses read the Journals of the proceed
ing day, relating to the election of a
senator In the United States Congress
for a term of six years from March =.
1907.
The chair declared that Senator Thomas
S. Martin had been legally chosen and
after much housekeeping and the mp
pointment of the notification com
mittee referred to above, the joint SEES
sion dissolved.
When the House reconvened the cal
endar was taken up and the bill in
creasing the salary of the commissioner
of agriculture from 5000 to $4,000 was
passed. The measure was offered by Mr..

Spirited Debate.

During the next hour the Senate was
engaged In the most spirited debate of
the present session on either side up to
this time. Among the measures reported
favorably from the Committee on Public
Institutions and Education vas reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Strobe, of Am
herst. requesting the nomination at once
OF an eligible nominee for the state
Board of Education from each OF the
six institutions named in the constitri-
ton and further providing for the ascer-
tanning OF the purpose of such nominees
as to the adoption OF single list OF
school books for use IN the public free
schools of the State. Upon motion OF
Mr.. Strobe this resolution was taken up
out of its regular order and was at
once placed upon Its passage.
Heavy firing began at once from all
directions and the old question OF the
cussion being accompanied with sharp
criticism of the State Board In ex-
planning his resolution Mr.. Strobe pointed
out that the State Board is composed
of eight members
Three of these-the Governor the At
torney-General and the Superintendent
of Public Instruction--are elected by the
people, and in the present instance are
committed to the single list plan. Three
other members are elected by the Senate
from n list of six eligibles. one of which
Is nominated from the faculty by the
Board of Visitors or Trustees OF each of
the six institutions named-University
of Virginia. Virginia Military Institute
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, State Nor
NAL School. School for Deaf and Blind
and William and Mary College. The six
members thus chosen, three by the peo-
pie and three by the Senate, elect the
remaining two members of the board.
