eighth legislative day A senate joint
resolution Friday called for session
Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday of

Arguments in the senate Friday
that the state constitution is not being
lived up to because the representatives
and senators are not properly appor-
toned in the general assembly fell on
deal ears when the Priesthood bill
came up for a vote. The bill would
have caused a reapportionment of the
representatives in the two houses 1t
was defeated by vote of % to T.
Another administration measure
went the route dozens of others have
gone during the present session when
the senate by vote of % to 10, killed
the Orr bill. providing for the aboli-
ton of the convict lease system and
the working of the convicts on the
state trunk roads. Although this bill
was on the senate calendar as unfin-
ished business. it was not taken I'D
until Friday afternoon. 1t previously
had been enacted by the house. That
body followed a few days later and re-
versed itself, voting in favor of the
senate bill of Mr.. Rogers which pro-
vided that the convicts be worked in
state-owned mines.

INSANITY DIVORCE
BILL is PASSED

MontR emery, September 19.-Spe
ial)-Representative Graham of
clarke county succeeded today in pass
ing through the house bill making
&C years incurable insanity cause for
divorce.
1t was called up under a suspension
of the rules. The rulos committee re-
fused to place it on the special order
list for today.
In explaining the bill, Mr.. Graham
said its passage was sought for the
relief of Mrs. King, whose husband has
been insane for over 20 years and that
he is hopelessly so.
He made very urgent plea for the
passage of the bill. stating that Mrs
King had contributed toward the sup
port of her husband and that she had
given written assurance of defraying
the expenses of his funeral
similar bill was passed by the
Florida legislature several years ago,
which enabled the late Henry sFlagier

ment of that law was the subject of 4
great deal of criticism, both favorable
and unfavorable. throughout the coun-
try at the time. IS

that for his approval of the bill the
legislature provide the money needed to

AS the result of several conferences
between the governor and insurgents"
50 per cent of the income tax will go to
the state and only five per cent to the
counties and cities. The extra 90 per
cent. it is estimated, would be suffi-
cient to meet the increase in pensions
The pension fund next year under ex-
listing laws, it was estimated. would
amount to about s1.970,0 900, whereas the

PROPOSED INSURANCE
AMENDMENT DEFEATED

Montgomery, September 19.-(Spe-
clal)-Falling IA votes short of the
requisite three-fifths the proposed
amendment to the state constitution
authorizing the state to operate an in
surance feature in connection with the
workmen's compensation act was de-
feated in the house today. The vote was
on Representative Harrison's joint res
olution, SO members voting for it anG
only IL against it, but 81 affirmative
votes were necessary to pass it,
One of the arguments against the
workmen's compensation act was that
1t would compel employees to carry Ii
ability insurance for their own pro-
lection whether they wanted to do SC
or not and that the rates the insurance
companies might charge would be
prohibitive.
The Harrison amendment would have
permitted the state to carry the in
Surance as several other states that
have compensation laws do.
