Mr.. MOOERS: Mr.. Speaker I will

the House adhere to its former action.
The question being on the motion
that the House adhere to its former
action,
\ viva Voce vote being taken,
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. AUSTIN of Phillips Mr.. Speak,
er, | rise to a parliamentary inquiry.
The bin which has been passed by the
House, which was to provide for q
30-day open time, is that in an amend
able stage at the present time? / wish
to give notice that with the consent
of part of the parties most interested
/ have an amendment which L would
like to offer at such time as il is pos
sible to do So.
The SPEAKER: The Chair under
stands that one bill reported by one
branch of the committee has been
passed to he engrossed in the Senate,
and another i'm the House. OF course
without reconsideration of this vote
whereby it was passed to be engrossed
it would not be in amendable form.
Mr.. AUSTIN: Would the vote as
passed in the House, if reconsidera-
ton was voted, be now in an amend
able form.
The SPEAKER: The Chair under
stands that if the House reconsiders
it's vote whereby the bill was passed
TO be engrossed it would then be in a
stage where it could be amended.
Mr.. AUSTIN: Then, Mr.. Speaker,
after consultation with the gentleman
from Ashland, Mr.. Mooers, and the
gentleman from Calais Mr.. Trimble, |
will say that / have an amendment
which I wish to offer, and I would
move that the House reconsider It's
vote whereby it passed the bill giving
one months open season to be en-
crossed, l make this motion for the
purpose of Offering an amendment.
The question being on the motion
that the rules be suspended and that
the House reconsider it's vote whereby
the new draft of the bill relating to
protection of moose, being the bill re-
ported by the minority of the commit
tee, was passed to be engrossed.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. Austin then offered House
4AneHuHlenI n, 10 dflleHu section pf
striking out the words cow and
orr in the second line thereof, ana
by striking out the word fbull' in the
18th line thereof, and by striking out
the word 'sbulP' in the 14th line
thereof ' l-HfF E--.
Mr.. AUSTIN of Phillips: | will.
say, for the information of the House,
that this amendment simply allows the,
hunting and killing of one moose. 1t
does not confine it to one bull moose;
it simply allows the shooting of a
moose in those sections of the State
where moose are hunted for domestic
consumption. 1t is the understanding
of us all, / think, that the meat of a
cow moose is preferable for beef than
that of the bull moose. and the amend
ment is offered on the suggestion of
many friends of the moose, with the
idea that it may help a little towards
restoring natures balance between the
sexes. The condition is such today
that the number of female moose far
exceeds what should be the natural
number of male moose. / want to say
further that ! submit this amendment
only, as | said before, after consulta-
ton with the gentleman from Ashland
