"Speaker Reed, Mai Mckinley and Joseph

cast of the report. II will recommend a
code which eliminates oil motions 10 nd

any proposition is under consideration bul
one motion to adjourn is permitted. The
speaker is clothed with power to refuse to
entertain any motion which he may regard
as dilatory, and he is warranted in discrim-
mating as TO whether or not such motion is
made for the purpose Of obstructing public

doned. The committee OF the whole has a
