Mccarthy stated that if the judiciary
committee could amend the resolution
to include ideas which had alreaGy
been discussed informally he would be
glad to have it done. He referred TO-
bureau in Wisconsin where assis-
lance is given legislators in franz
ing bills.
Senator Smith took the floor ana
renewed the motion to indefinitely
postpone He stated that he was
against the resolution as it would en-
courage hasty legislation which meant
bad work. He said that public ar
fairs must not be continually disturb
ed and that a great trouble was In
having too much legislation. Most OF
the affairs were in the hands of the
counties now and the Boards of Super
visors were able to handle everything
which would ordinarily come up. The
suggestions made by Senator McCar-
thy he favored but stated that they
were entirely foreign to the resolution
at present before the Senate.
Coelho interrupted to ask what the
speaker would do if his motion were
allowed to pass and a new resolution
to provide for McCarrhy's ideas were
introduced. Amid laughter of the
Senators, Mr. Smith stated that he
would be glad to consider them when
they came up. The motion to inder-
initely postpone then carried unans-
mously.
