Bartleson and MT. Evans had taken their seats. The question was raised if they had the right to vote on the motion before the house, and the chair ruled that they had not, the logic being that no greater number of members could vote on the motion to reconsider than had voted on the original motion. The chair based his ruling on house rule 42, which provides that "a member who is not within the bar of the house when the vote is taken upon any queS- ton shall not afterwards be allowed to vote on that question except by con sent of the house.
 MT. Adams appealed from the de- ciSiOn of the chair, and on a rising vote he was sustained. He thanked the house for having sustained the chair for the first time.
 The motion to table the motion to reconsider was carried and further consideration of the bill in the house is ended.
 The parliamentary editor of The Re publican refrains, for good and valid reasons as MT. Wright would say. from passing judgment on these two rulings of Speaker Ashurst, but gives the interested reader the opportunity to contract brain fever on his own ac- count by consulting the standing rules of he house in connection with the un- abridged Cushing.
 The judiciary committee of the house reported back council bill 40, with the recommendation that it be amended. Council bill 40 is MT. Goldwater's s Public Affairs" bill, rehabilitating the board of control. The judiciary committee proposes to amend by strik- ing out the section providing that if members of the board travel on rail road passes they shall not charge mile age.
