The house this afternoon passed a
considerable number of both house
and council bills. several of them be.
/ ing of considerable Importance 4
striking example of the way i'm which
the house is doing business under the
capable management oi Speaker BaCa
and the machine was shown i'm the ac-
tion on house bill No. SIS, an act by
Mr. Bterbaum, regulating the prac-
tic-' Of land locating and creating 4
board of examiners in the matter of
said regulation This bill which seeks
| to create a new territorial board is
declared to be defective in many Of
its details. 1t is seriously asserted that
1t is unconstitutional, since 1t confcrS
( Legislative powers on the board sought
To be created, and there are other
provisions said to be erratic. to which
objection Is made. Alr Hudspeth
sought recognition for the purpose Of
discussing this bill His request for
recognition was regular in every way,
but the speaker hammered him down
with the air Of an angry ear and the.
bill was passed by Il viva voce vote
and without discussion MIR Hud-
speth was treated entirely without
courtesy and the bin defects and all,
was pushed through With an apparent
disregard for consequences.
The proceeding in house bin No.
IS is typical OF the manner in which
the busnes sis being transacted un-
der Speaker BaCaS management. II
apparently makes no difference
whether measure is important or
not, whether It Is party measure or
not whether there Is opposition to
1t or not all are rushed through
without consideration.
