This Is IN line with spe4ksr Reeds
recent rolling
Heretofore the House has spent the
greater pas, % each Monday, aud some
times beth Monday and Tuesday IN the
call Of States for the introduction %
bills and resolutions for reference 20
committees These were usually read
from the Clerks desk simply by their
titles, but any member had the right 70
call for the reading Of every bill and
resolution ia full. and this right has
been exercised many times Cor the sole
purpose Of wasting time in order 10 pre-
vent the House from completing the
| call Of states in time 10 proceed 20
other business. The new rules
entirely cut of this kind OF fli-
clustering by abolishing bill day and
providing that bills and resolutions may
be handed 20 the Clerk and referred 10
the proper committees By direction OF
the Speaker. Any errors OF reference
can be corrected on subsequent days
when the fact is disclosed by the journal
o. Congressional Record
Tho call Of committees FOR reports
which consumed a great deal Of time,
gives place TO a provision that reports OF
committees shall be handed 10 the
Clerk and placed upon the proper cal
endar The rule in regard to the pre-
vious question" is so changed that the
previous question may. upon one mo-
ton. be ordered so as 20 include bill
and amendments from the enyrossment
10 the final passage or rejection Of the
bill. This avoids one motion and saves
much time.
The motions 70 take re ess and 10
adjourn to a certain day are deprived OF
the privileged character which made
them so dear 20 all flibusters. and
new rule is provided which explicitly
declares that no dilatory motion shall
be entertained by the Speaker"
Sec. l OF the old rule 81, which re
quires bills and Joint resolutions TO be
read three times before passing. is
stricken out The rule faij omits tho
provisions OF the old rule forbdding the
amalgamation OF two pending resolu-
tions and treating river and harbor aud
post-route bills as petitions in their in
PRODUCTION
The quorum Of the House when sit
ting as a committee Of the whole IS fixed
at 100, and a majority Of this quorum
may decide what business shall be
taken up in committee Of the whole nm
less the House shall have previously in
structod the committee. but revenue
bills, general appropriation bills and
river and harbOr bills are given prece-
dence over other business In committee
OF tho whole Power is given 20 a ma
jOrity in committee OF the whole 10
/ close debate on any section or para
graph or upon pending amond-
ments These changes lop of a
great deal OF tedious Formally that was
'equired under the other practice. IA
cilitateS the transaction OF the business
/ before tho committee and prevents un-
/ reasonable delay by mem bcrs who OFFER
! amendments and speak 70 them for the
/ purpose Of obstruction
What may be a change fall Of signif-
cameo occurs in Sec. 3 of Rule % IRE
quiring certain measures 20 be consid-
cred in committee Of the whole This
is in tAe opening sentence. which he
gins: All motions or propositions
originating either in the House or San
