Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-12-10

House can hold the noses of members
to the grindstone and prevent them
from trying to take up anything but
unemployment insurance, tits readily
agreed.
1t is fully expected, of course, that
some attemptsEwill be made by mem
bers in both houses to intrOduces4bills
dealing with other matters besides
unemployment insurance and to get
them considered. Some members
with undoubtedly have some local,
bills which they have promised" the
people back in their home county
they will get through for them, which
they will attempt to introduce. 9th
ers NAV attempt to introduce State
wide measure or two. The most per-
sistent report current is that Senator
A. Hall Johnston, of Asheville, Bun
conlbe county, will try to get enact
ment of bill which will permit Bun
combe county to hold an election and
set up county liquor stores system
such as is already in effect in Is
eastern counties. Other reports are
that some of the other western coun-
ties, such as Henderson, Haywood
and possibly Polk, may also make an
effort to get county liquor bills
through, before the State Liquor
Commission makes it's report and be-
fore Statewide liquor bill can be in
trOduced
Both the belief here today is that
members who want to introduce bills
dealing with anything but unemploy-
ment insurance will need to be equip
.x,;A
lene torch outfit in order to break
through the almost impregnable bar
rier which the leaders in both houses
are planning to erect to prevent the
consideration of anything else but I'M
employment insurance. For the old
timers here have no desire to see
anything else come up in this special
session and know that they might
have to stay here more than ten days
if the gates should be let down and
the session develop into a general
Misunderstanding orgy. They know
enough of this will be done when the
regular session opens in January.
Accordingly, the first move which is
expected to be made today after the
Senate and House get organized and
ready for business, is the introduction
of a resolution which will bind the
House and Senate to the considera-
ton of nothing but the unemployment
adopted, as it is expected to be, it
insurance bill. If this resolution is
VII solve the problem and effectually
prevent the consideration of any 9TH
er legislation at this session.
Even if this resolution fails of adop-
tiOn hu
still be possible for the presiding of
ficers and leaders to hold the mem
bers in line and prevent their chas-
ing rabbits by the introduction of 9TH
eI bills, it is pointed out. One reason
both Lieutenant Governor A. H.
Graham and Speaker of the House r.
Gregg. Cherry decided not to appoint
any committees at this special session
was because the absence of commit
tees to which bills must be referred,
would discourage the Introduction of
bills and hence make it more diff
cult to get any bills before ether
body, it is generally agreed. The
speaker or the lieutenant governor
can hence rule any member as being
out of order if he should attempt to
introduce a bill. Such a member
would either have to sit down and
give up his attempt to introduce a
bill or appeal from the ruling of the
chair-requiring a two-thirds vote and
a procedure only rarely accomplish
ed.
So the odds are decidedly against
any member who might try to intro
duce bills of an extraneous nature
which might divert the minds of the
members from consideration of the
unemployment insurance bill or bills
which may be introduced, it is gen
orally agreed, especially since most
observers feel sure a majority of the
members are in favor of considering
nothing else. Most of the members
are also anxious to get back home as
soon as possible both because of the
nearness of Christmas and to get
their business arranged so they can
come back in January
