senate Document. No. Sc An Order re
iatlVc to the payment Ct Legislative,
advertising by the secretaries of conf
lhittees, was taken from the table.
Mr.. STAPLES: Mr.. President: It
seems TO me little premature that
this order should come in here at this
time. | have knowledge of some OF
the committees, and l think the order
Is sort of reflection upon the COM
lhittees as well as upon their secre-
taries. 1t reads as follows:
ordered. the House concurring. that
the secretary of the Senate be directed
10 pay only such bills for legislative
advertising as are approved by the
secretary of the committee ordering
the same.
Ordered further. that secretaries OF |
committees be directed to approve no
bills for legislative advertising I'M
leSs the same are accompanied by |
vouchers showing that the advertising
was ordered by authority of the COM
mlttee prior 10 its publication and |
vas published in reasonable space and
at reasonable rates.
| 2pprelend. Mr.. President. what is |
true III my committee. the committee |
on Judiciary. is true of every other
committee of the Legislature. no bill |
is paid by the committee, or will be
paid by any committee of this Legs
iuUre. or by the secretaries OF the
Committees. unless it is approved II
believe that every committee is en-
deaVoring TO do the best they can to
save the money OF the State at this
particular time. ] know that in our
committee we have very efficient
clerk. and that no bills have been
created, no advertising put in the pa
pers, unless It was absolutely nee
essary. so that everybody might know
in regard to hearings. We have econ
omized in that regard in every way
shape and manner we could. We have
short advertisements. as you will see
by looking at the calendar of the ju
dietary committee Now. it is we'll
known that no man who is the sec
rotary of committee will sign any
bin for advertising unless it first
comes before him. It is furthermore
a matter OF fact that the secretary
of the committee only puts in such
advertisements, and into such papers.
as the committee orders him to do
believe that the order should be
indefinitely postponed. / have great
confidence in the secretaries of these
committees, and the men who make
up those committees, that they will
not run up large advertising accounts
unless 1t is absolutely necessary. There
is nobody knows 50 web as the COM
mittee before whom these matters
come what papers the notices should
go in and what time they should be
advertised do not believe in long
advertising. / do not believe anybody
will go before the secretary of my
committee, or any other committee,
