Considering election bills under q
special order Of business. house men,

Tie Vote Put Matter Up to
sLleut." who Killed Resolution.
"SLlP At CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Senator Price Said Stock Aid
Inquiry Was q Rebuke.
Senator Joseph Admitted 1t and
Said He Meant 1t.

The deciding vote of Lieutenant
Governor w. Y. Morgan was required
in the senate Wednesday afternoon to
prevent that body from administering
a rebuke to Governor Capper similar
to the one which it gave to Governor
Stubbs on a memorable occasion
when he volunteered suggestion
that certain appropriations shOuld pc
reduced. At that time it was Senator
Stavely of Usage who wrote the reso-
Iution asking Stubs to specify exact
ly which appropriation he wished re-
duced.
Wednesday the senate voted II to
IL on a resolution by Senator Joseph
of Butler county asking Governor
Capper TO advise the senate exactly
what amount he thought should be
appropriated for the suppression OF
the foot and mouth disease. TINS
resolution followed the receipt from
the governor of a noncOmmlttal mes
sage which left the question OF the
amount Of the appropriation entirely
in the hands of the legislature. The
live stock men had just gone on rec
ord urging the appropriation OF $z5O'-
600. Senator J. NJ. Davis OF Bourbon
county. after attending the live stock
meeting had introduced Dill carry
ing $4,000 appropriation Tor tight
ing the foot and mouth disease ana
for paying for condemned animals.
In his message the governor said:
Further outbreaks OF the disease
and a change in the law committing
the state to compensate certain own
ers in part for live stock killed by the
live stock sanitary commissioner IN
the Infected area. may necesSltate an
additional appropriation. 1 urge the
legislature to give this matter most
careful consideration-keep in
mind both the interests of the live
stock industry and economy in state
expenditures
There was an argument whether
to put the Davis bill directly on final
passage before the house had time
to act on a bill of its own carrying
the quarter million appropriation ad-
vised by the cattlemen, or to refer
it to the ways and means committee
until the house had time to take ac-
ton. Senator Price of Clark county
admonished the senate that the JOS
eph resolution might be construed as
discourteous to the governor.
No Intention to Slap.
The senate has no intention of
taking a slap at the chief executive,

of this resolution might be construed
as administering a rebuke which 1
don't believe it was the intention of
its author to imply"
That's exactly what I do mean."
