Knudsen presented amendments to
the resolution for the appointment of
a holdover committee, the principal
) one being to make the committee
general instead of merelp one Of ways
: and means.
President Smith suggested that the
s limitation to holdover members be
= omitted. Fairchild, author of the re-
: solution, consented to this but Woods
thought none but holdover Senators
r ought 30 be on the committee. Call
= ing the vice president to the chair,
g the president moved that the commit
e tee be selected from among all the
e present members.
l. Knudsen suggested to make the
= committee of five instead of three, and
n Coelho agreeing further suggested
= that each senatorial district be rep
= resented.
The president declined to accept the
, amendments to his amendment.
e Fairchild said his object was more
e simple than the purposes the discus
/ sion had brought out. Since the mat
ter had been broadened he would ac-
= cept the amendment of the president,
=, but not the proposal for a larger COM
=, mittee than three
. Coelho thought it was a grand mis-
}, take The instructions of the Legis-
= lature of 1907 relative to the Tax
Commission were ignored and that
( body was appointed solely to repre-
= sent the corporations, He contended
that a committee of three would not
e be capable Of handling the affairs of
S all the islands.
-Chillngworth thought it better to
. table the resolution, since it had caus-
= ed so much dispute, and moved ac-
cordingly.
= Fairchild refused to permit his re-
r solution to be sidetracked in that
= manner. Therefore he would reject
the amendments and stand by the orr
n ginal resolution.
: Knudsen moved to strike out the
: provision to make the expenses, moi
: OF exceed $780, be a charge on the
IS expense fund of next session. Car
