DOVER, Jan. iS.-Thal certain pro-
posed legislation every session OF the
General Assembly is purposely held
back until late in tho session by GER
lain parties, so that il will not get
proper consideration, was an opinion
expressed by Senator Palmer on the
floor Of the senate yesterday after
noon
Senator Palmer made This state
ment in opposing a concurrent resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Bennett
TO shut or the introduction Of new
business after February 50. lie OBJ
jected to the date liked on the ground
that the introduction of new business
should be stopped before That date.
senators Walker, short and Price
also opposed that date, suggesting
one week earlier.
The Senate finally adopted an
amendment offered by senator short,
liking February Z as the last day for
the Introduction Of new business.
senator Robertson, who voted against
both the amendment and the resolu-
ton as amended, explained his vote
by stating that in his opinion 1t did
not matter how any OF the Senators
voted. You cannot amend the con
stitutiOn with a resolution Senator
Robertson said. His contention was
that a member has a right under the
constitution TO introduce a bill at any
time during the session.
Both houses. under a suspension Of
rules. passed a bill increasing the
bond Of the secretary OF state from
$4,000 to $1,000. The bill was intro
duced by Senator Bennett, who ex-
planned that the business OF this Oflics
has greatly increased in recent years
In The month OF January, 1917. The
receipts OF the secretary OF state.
