Senator Hubbell said that it was not meet for the Senate, which was costing the State $250 a day, to waste its time in such frivolity. He said that in reading the leading newspapers of Chicago and the East, he found that the Indiana State Legislature had laid itself open to ridicule by the action already taken on the bill. He thought consideration of such a proposition was not dignified or worthy of the Senate.
Senator Hubbell argued that it was inappropriate for the Senate to waste its time on such frivolity, which was costing the state $250 per day. He pointed out that by reviewing leading newspapers from Chicago and the East Coast, he found that the Indiana State Legislature had already embarrassed itself with their handling of the bill. In his opinion, the Senate should not dignify such a proposal.
