CHANCES in Rules Recommended.

The Schaap report was more compre-
hensive and somewhat more drastic than
the resolution on the same subject ADOPT
ed by the state conference OF Republicans
al the Waldorf Friday. The changes rec
commended were as follows;
I. Standing committees, which are now
appointed by the Speaker. should be elect
ed by the House. and the House should
elect the chairman OF each committee.
This is now the practice OF the national
House OF Representatives.
.. The practice OF making bills special
order on the second and third readings
should be discontinued. so that no bill
shall have it's second and third reading
on the same day without unanimous con-
sent.
.. Where there has been hearing Oh 4
bill before committee, and the commit
tee has refused or failed 10 report II, the
bill shall not go into the Committee on
Rules.
4. No bill should he considered during
the last three days OF the session. except
on message from the Senate or an emer-
gency message from the Governor
;. Calendars should be on the desks Of
members at least twenty-four hours be-
fore the opening OF the session.
s. The roll OF members should be called
at the opening OF each session and the
presence or absence OF members noted.
:. The journal OF each days proceed
ings should be printed and on the desks
OF members at least fifteen minutes before
the opening of the following days ses-
sion. The journal xhotld contain the title
and number Of ali bills passed and rec
ord OF all roll calls. II should also con-
tain notices OF meetings OF committees
and OF public hearings before them.
S. All meetings OF committees should
be open to the public and a record OF the
vote on bills should be part OF the rec
ord. The committees should meet. as far
as possible, on regular days and at least
once week. Committee calendars
should be issued at least forty eight hours
in advance
Andrew +. Murray Prog. chairman
OF the conference, asserted that no
matter what the provisions Of the report
as to the revision Of the Assembly rules
were. they paled into insignificance wneT
compared 10 the rottenness OF the present
| rules that govern the Assembly procedure
He was in favor OF passing the report
| but agreed to the motion 10 put IT over
until the next meeting.
S. Clinton Crane Repd presented the
report on the Speakership. as chairman
