Mr.. ALLEN Mr.. Speaker, ! have n"
objection. ! move that the bill be r"'
rcrrgd 70 the committee on appropri&-
tione ard financial affairs.
fhr motion WAS agreed t..
OF motion Of Mi. iiShco Of Rum
ford. the rules were suspended and lie
introduced a bill. An Act authorizing
the Rumford Village Corporation to
raise money for the purpose of clean
ing ITS streets and removing garbage
and other rofaSc and properly dlSp9S-
ing al the same. and on further mo
tiun by Mr. Bishee the rules We're
suspended. thc bin received ITS thre"
readings without reference to u cpin-
mitt5c and was passed Ia br en-
crossed
ON motion of Mr.. Alien Of Joncsboro
the vote was reeonsidered whereby tn"
House ordered printed tire bill relating to
registration of dentIsts
Mr. Allen moved that tie bill be reeeiv-
ed under suspension of the rules.
The SPEAKER: The question j.
| whether the House will receive Tire hill
Mr. HERSEY: Mr.. speaker this Is a
public measure and affects every dentist
in the State. There have been some meas
ures of this kind before this Legislature
Now il is proposed To introduce Il new
measure at the closing hours Of this sss-
| sion, too late to have a committee con
slider the mater BY advertising and by
| the ordinary I.otice.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr., Speaker desire to
ask a question of The gentleman. VIII
the gentleman suggest Il committee to
which this can be referred?
Mr. HERSEY: Mr.. speaker l do not
suggest a committee of tins Legislature
but of some other Legislature. I have
| heard no reason given by the gentleman
why it should not have been introduced
early enough to have proper considera-
ton. Now the proposition to run through
this Legislature. under suspension Of
| the rules, a public measure is objection
able i'll regard To any public measure. If
| ii was a private matter it might be all
right; but the gentleman from JonesborI
does not represent this State or the pub
lie in this matter, and l claim that you
might do great injustice TO the public
by railroading a measure through this
Legislature that concerns the great pub
lie. We ought not to establish such a
precedent. You may send it to COM
mttee but / do not believe there is any
committee that wants to act on a meas
ure like that without notice. The COM
mittees are to report finally on the Goth
| How can YOU do it by referring it to a
committee? The gentleman asks me to
| suggest committee to which it can be
referred. 1t is not matter of reference
| to a committee. 1t is a matter of re-
| ceving it at this time, and | believe we
ought not to receive public measures at
| this time; and what I say now applies to
every public measure coming in here
Mr.. SCATES of Westbrook: Mr. Speak
er for the benefit of the gentleman from
| IIoulton and the gentleman from Jones'
| boro, / will say that there is a bill in
relation TO dentistry which was passed
upon by the committee on legal affairs
| the other day. When that comes in |
| would suggest that it can perhaps be
| amended.
| Mr.. DAVIES: Mr.. Speaker / have no
| desire to discuss this matter and gener-
ally agree with the gentleman from Houl-
| ton on such matters as this motion in
wolves, but YOU must remember that any
of us are liable to be in precisely tbs
same position that the gentleman from
Jonesboro finds himself in at the pres
ent time. Someone has sent him meas
ure and requests that he present it to
the House. Could we do any less thar
to allow him To present it? That is tho
question which is pending here. There
isn't anything else under consideration
We are not asked to railroad anything
through. we are not asked to refer it tt
any committed The gentleman from
Jonesboro merely makes the request tha
this House receive at the present time
bill which somebody has sent him to pre-
sent, What reason is there why w
: should not receive it? | know of none
: Mr.. speaker.
MI. OTIS: Mr.. Speaker it strike
me that this discussion is all out o
d order. A single objection stops it ant
Y that objection has been made.
y The SPEAKER: 1t takes a two
C. thirds vote to set aside the rules and
d q two-thirds vote to allow this bill to b
received at the present time.
Mr.. ALLEN of Jonesboro: Nj
Speaker. the bill l introduced severa
days ago went before the committe
y on legal affairs. There were petition
i think from about every dentist in til
u State in favor of that bill. Ii was dul
" / considered, and the secretary Of III
a lcommittee told me Il few moments AZ,
y that they were to report unanimousl
THAT it ought to pass. Now when tn
matter came before the public il W.
found. that there were some fey fee
lures which should be corrected.
thought it was fair and | am wilir
that the change should be made. rh;
