on the committee report but objec-
ton was made by Mrs. Minnie D.
Craig, Benson county, who asked
that vote be deferred until the re.
port is printed in the house journal
and all members have . chance to
inspect it. She said she had never
known of action being taken on an
important committee report until 1t
was printed in the journal.
Twichell contended that many
committee reports never appear in

sessions and that nearly all are dis.

members have had opportunity to
read it carefully.
