senate who do not scruple to employ
the express train methods Of legisla-
tion arearrayed against Senator Dim
ick and his followers, in what will |
without doubt, be one of the closest |
contests on the floor of the senate, the |
battle on Dimick's resolution to sup
press promiscuous legislation in the !
senate after the 25th day of the ses-
sion.
AS originally introduced by Senator
Dimick, the resolution provided that
no bill or other legislation should be
introduced after the 25th day without
consent Of the senator's. AS reported
back by the resolutions committee the
resolution was amended providing
that measures might be introduced
with only three members objectlng.
The amendment was agreeable to SEN
ator Dimick. Senator Thompson, of
I.akevlew moved that the resolution
be referred back to the committee with
the instructions that measure might
be proposed by eight members and in
troduced. Senator Joseph said that
the resolution seemed premature and
moved that it be laid on the table.
Compromise Is Made.
In strong defense of the resolution
Dimick protested against the evil
which ho declared had existed in all
previous sessions Of the legislature Of
rushing bills through in the last 10 or
Is days of the session without fair
consideration of the rights Of the peo-
pie. He said that IL an emergency ex-
listed with relation to any measure
that any senator might wish to intro
duce, there would be no difficulty in
convincing the body of such and OBJ
tanning consent for introduction of the
measure.
On the vote on Joseph's motion to
lay the resolution on the table Dimick
asked for a roll call and the motion
was lost. He then conferred with
Senator Thompson and a compromise
was made by allowing the resolution
to be referred back without instruc-
tions.
Governor Stands Favored.
II the action Of the senate today on
the governors vetoed bills remaining
