Delegates Power.
Practically tire entire senate day
was spent i'm reading and debating
the rules. Discussion Of the rule pro-
posed that would take from the pre-
siding officer his prerogatiVe of ap-
pointing all committees, save stand
ing committees, unless the senate au-
thorized him to appoint them, was long
and tedious The rule Of 1913 was
adopted instead, which gives the
power mentioned to the president of
the senate.
The senate abrogated it's rule
against smoking by a vote of twenty
to nineteen, the deciding vote being
cast by the lieutenant governor that
being his first vote this session.
The principal debate was occasioned
by a motion by Senator Tucker that
to the rule giving right of way to APP
propriation bills be added the revenue
bills This led to a number of senators
inquiring why appropriation bills
should be- thus favored. In the end
the rule was changed to give right of
way to both appropriation and rev
enuc bills i'm the senate on days when
the senate was considering house bills.
A rule that was proposed by sen
ator Thomas was adopted, which pro-
vides that senators present and not
voting at roll call shall be recorded
as voting no.
Robbery Bill.
The senate received the bill pro-
yiding for rewards for bank rohberies
as passed by the house and placed
in on first reading. This is the sub
stitute measure. and a copy has been
introduced i'm the house.
