Arizona republican., 1912-03-20

''S =" i''t9S WIS taken untll CLOCK,
as none of the committees appointed
for the perfection of its organization
were ready to report
At the appointed time or thereabout
in the afternoon the speaker seized me
gavel that had been furnishei from
some quarter AMI raped for order
The gavcl by the way is unseemly
small for the work that appears to be
cut out for it in the house and ii is
suggested that it could better be en-
ployed as Il watch charm by the
speaker as soon as he can secure
larger and more impressive weapon OF
self defense.
The first ten minutes of the session
was devoted to matters that will proc
ably never appear i'm the records for
the reason that they were irregular'v
conceived ana brought forth ami L.
regularly diSDosed of. the sum tof.,I
being nil. The clerk read long docC-
mcnt. evidently designed for a joint
resolution memOrialiZing congress. TIL
subject matter Of it was 40 ask that
august body to provide some means
whereby the various states could as
scmble through their representatives
for the purpose Of working over the
national constitution and whipping il

people could continue to live under il.
and also to apprise that body that in
any event il should be so amended a

ly inquired if it had been passed by
the senate and said that ii not he
desired to move its passage by the
house that il might be sent to the sen
ate The motion was seconded and
in On instant would have been put
when Representative Jacobs rose to
inquire VINO if anybody had introduc-
al the resolution. There was no avail
able information on the subject and
Mr.. Lynch rose to suggest that con
sideration seemed rather informal a
the house had no rules Yet. Another
gentleman thought that it was hasty
i'm view of the fact that it seemed to
embrace Two resolutions and he was in
doubt about the ability of the house
10 pass two resolutions by one vote.
He also thought the house would do
better to wait until ii had rules to
work under. Some gentleman moved
to reconsider. thought ii was not yet
clear that action had been taken Vet
and The move to reconsider was sec
onded by Johnson. In the meantime a
motion To adjourn subject to the call
Of the chair. amended to take recess
subject to the gavel. had been thrust
into he proceedings somewhere, the
reason FOR it being that the commit
tee on apportionment of attaches was
not ready to report and the committee
on committees had made no sign of
reporting. About this time Mr.. Lin
n@y of the apportionment committee
appeared and disregarding all pending
motions another was made that the
house proceed to business.
In onler To get into formal proceed
ings again it was so done by right Of
power rather than any parliamentary
tactics. tho slate being wiped of the
confusing processes that had been 60
ing on.
Mr.. Linncy thcn read the following
report of the committee on apportion-
ment of attaches. it was adopted and
