IN motion by Mr.. Staples of Knox,

Ordered. ,he House concurriHg. that
the secretary OF State be and hereby
il authorized to furnish all neces-
sary. suitable and proper supplies and

amehdmen, 4: BY striking out in
the sixth line OF the order the two
words postage stamps"
The order as amended, on further
motion by Mr.. Staples of Knox was
given q passage. Sent down for con-
currence.
MIR. STAPLES of Knox. Mr.. Pres
ident: | wish to say right here that
ii Is understood while it is desirable
to purchase typewriter for the ju--
dietary committee. it is understood
that the rotary of state will fur
nish Il suitable typewriter for the
use Of that committee. And l ae
cept that. because l have the word of
the senator from Lincoln, Mr.. Royn
ton. that if the typewriter is not fur
nished by the secretary of State. II"
Will buy one FOR the use of the COM
mittee.
MIt. HAMILTON of York Mr.. Pres
ident: ! cannot quite understand the
distinction between that committees
aid other committees that certainly
are OF as much Importance. il not
more s., than that committee; the
committees on financial affairs, on
roads. on taxation are really the COM
mitteeS that are running this state,
and they are or Importance to this
state. II is as important TO those
committees to nave a typewriter as
1t is tor the judiciary committee to
have one; because we could get along
without them, but these other COM
mittees we could not get along with
out and | cannot see why the sena-
tor should ask for that distinction
/ he is to be served, and his commit
tee is to be served. with typewriter,
-, machine and someone TO operate
the machine,-w should not other
committees of equal importance be
provided with the same. | know We
are here on the basis of economy. ana
| am sorry that my distinguished
brother should begin to get 50 eiaoo-
rate II economy is TO be practiced in
one place, it should be practiced in
another. All OF the committees do
not HPeN all tiliS pdTapi!ci Halo" wa
some OF them need to do is to open
their books for precedent and see
what some Lord has said in the year
1900 And they do not have to use
their minds or their thoughts, but we
poor fellows on the other commit
tees must go on what we know ana
what the circumstances are. If the Jul
dietary committee is to be provided
with a typewriter, why should NOT
all the other committees be provided
with the same?
Mr.. STAPLES: Mr.. President It is
unfortunate that the Senate did not
appo.nt so learned man as my broth
or from York on the Judiciary commit
tee have rot any doubt about his
great learning. This order does not au-
thorize the secretary of State to buy
typewriter or to furnish typeMit-
er. There is no designation from one
committee to the other: II there Is
committee that wants typewriter,
nut In order,
