Sfufe Government
Takes Verbal
Cracks At
Bradley Oldham,

zen OF the State OF Florida
may, have a voice i'm the
discussion of any bill
which is introduced into
the state legislature at Tai.
lahassee," State Represen.
tative Bernie c. Papy said
i'm a talk before members
of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce last night.
However, the talk which
was to have explained the
workings of Florida's State
government, soon took a
frankly political turn when
Papy hit out against his
arch-enemy in the state
house of representatives
who at one time accused
him of offering a bride ito
take a walk" during the
voting on J an important
piece of legislation.
In a verbal blast, apparently
aimed at unsuccessful gubernator.
ial candidate Bradley Oldham, Papy
declared that, ''In all my IS years
in the house of representatives 1
was attacked by only one man and
it took the courts 10 minutes to re-
turn a verdict which proved my
accuser to be a liar.
Papy, in defending himself a.
gainst the charges said that he told
the person, evidently Oldham, ''that
he knew who offered him money
and that he was completely vim
Dictated by the courts
In explaining the checks and bal
ances which have been written in.
to the state constitution to govern
the workings of the senate and
the house of representatives, Papy
told of how the real work of govern
ing the state is done largely in
committees.
He said that when the House
convenes for each session a speak
er is chosen and the rules commit
tee sets up procedure and the
speaker appoints committees to
handle each particular phase of
the business of governing the state
and enacting legislation.
When a bill is introduced to the
house, Papy pointed out, it is re-
ferred to the proper committee for
investigation. The bills then come
up for discussion within the CON-
mittee at which time anyone may
enter the discussion. either in per-
son or by brochure.
Following the discussion of the
measure, the bill is voted on in
committee and then, whether it is
passed or not the record Is filed
with the clerk of the House.
The bill is then read before the
House for the first time. To pass
on second reading, the Till must
have the vote Of the maiority and
to go through on its final reading
it must receive a two-third major
ity.
The Bill is then sent to the Sen.
ate for consideration. Upon its pass
age by that body the legislation is
then signed by the Speaker of the
House. the president of the Senate
and the Governor.
II bill Is vetoed by the govern
or, after five days il goes back
to the house and the senate and
where the veto is either sustained
or overruled. To override a gov.
ernor's veto % vote is neces-
sary.
Record Votes
Papy pointed out that all votes
in the House are record votes and
there is no question as TO how a
member votes. The Journal Of the
House tells the citizens Just what
is going on in the state capitol.
The biggest single business in
the work Of the house and senate
is the appropriation Of money. Papy
said that the budget committee
sets up a temporary budget and
the recommendations Of the GOV.
