petitive bids came from the House, the
bill passed to be engrosSed as amended,
by House amendments A and 3. On mo-
ton by Mr.. Mills of Hancock this bill
was tabled. Subsequently on motion by
the same senator the bill was taken
from the table and the same senator
moved that the Senate nonconcur with
the House in accepting amendment Il.
Mr.. MILLS: Mr. President, in eXpia-
nation cf my motion, / will say that
this bill came before the legal affairs
COMMITTEES and was recommitted to the
committee after the first hearing, and
was unanimously reported referred to
the next Legislature" The proponents
of the bill asked that it take effect on
the first. of January 1909. The COMMITTEES
agreed that it should be referred to the
next Legislature. House amendment Il
makes the bill take effect on the first
of January 1903. SO far as l am con-
cerned and so far as those interested in
| the bill are concerned, they are willing
| it should take effect on the first of jan
uary 1909 but not on January 1st 1903.

with the House and to have the bill
take effect on the first of January 1909.
| That would be at the expiration of nc

| MIR. Gleason of Mexico came before
the committee and urged the passage
| of the bill at the second hearing but
he only asked thar it be allowed to take
effect in 1909. Some man who may pos
sibly pose as a reformer in the other
| branch has added this amendment car
rying the date back to 1908, and l trust
| that this will not be accepted.
| The Senate thereupon voted to nom
concur with the House in the adoption
of House amendment p.
| The PRESIDENT: Does the senator
wish to move the adoption of House
| amendment "A.
