to make several extensions, INC the

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
RULES is ADOPTED

Pierre. S. d.. Jan. 27.-The report Of
the committee on rules that all amend
ments offered to the rules Of the house
should not be adopted. Hursh moved
the adoption of the report. Lyon, of
Minnehaha, opposed. 1t was but
natural. They were his amendments.
He said Hush. chairman of the com
mittee on rules-looked upon those
rules as more sacred than the 10 com
mandments. He declared that the car
rying Of all subject matter to the table
on motion to table ar amendment is
evolutionary in character; he wanted
the right of discussion for five minutes
after the previous question is ordered,
n thought if that was not allowed a
bill might go down to defeat if "t,e
poo devil" that introduced it could be
deprived of the right to talk for it by
the previous question. Then McFar-
land. of the rules committee, defended
the committee report; ripped Lyons
argument up the back, and declared
that every proposed amendment would
nave the effect of chloroforming pro-
cedure in the house and putting 'snakc
oil Under the skids" of any bill a few
members might oppose. Withee, of the
rules committee, said thai the rule Ia
set aside discussion by moving the
previous question provided for majority
rule, the very thing the gentleman from
Minnehaha had been bowling for. The
report of the committee was adopfed
with only one dissenting vote that
could be heard across the house and
the rules remain as they were.

DEALERS IN FOOD
UNDER LICENSE
Many application Blanks Received
by Food Administration but No
Licenses Mailed Yet

Washington, Oct. 31.-One hundred
thousand manufacturers wholesalers
and other distributors of staple food
will be placed under license tomor-
row by the food administration for
the duration of the war. No licenses
have yet been mailed, but it was an
nounced that those who have sought
licenses need not be apprehensive un-
less they violate the food control act.
Nearly $4,000 application blanks
have already been called for dealers
and requests are pouring in at the
rate of 1000 a day. Thousands OF
licenses have been filled out and will
be mailed to affected dealers as soon
as booklets containing complete rules
and regulations for the guidance OF
licenses hove been received from the
printer.
The food administration estimates
that when the lists are complete there
will be abuot 100000 licenses, includ-
irg importers, packers, wholesalers,
commission men, brokers, auct.oners,
storage warehousemen, together with
retailers doing more than 100000
business annually, which embraces
mail order firms and chain stores.
Small retailers will not be licensed
but they are subject to ths provislos
Of thu food law itself, which forbids

profits. They will also be controlled
through the licensing regulations con-
trolling wholesalers who will be re-
ouired to cut off the supplies OF deal
ers of any size and in any branch OF
the trade, who exact exorbitant pro-
fits on tlr2 necessities of life.
The licensed foods include beef,
pork and mutton, fish, poultry and
eggs, milk, butter, cheese, -four, su-
gar, cereals, lard, beans, peas, fruits,
vegetables, several lines of canned
goods and other products.
Ire purposes of licensing are stoted
as follows:
"n) To limit the prices charged by
every licenses to reasonable amount
over expenses and forbid the acauisi-
ton of speculative profits from ris-
ing market.
"(2) To keep all food commodities
moving in as direct line and with
as little delay as practicable to the
consumer.
coy To limit .os far as practicable

administration statement tonight.
those engaged in the hondling OF food
have shown the utmost patriotism
and a desire to gwen beyond the
requirements of the Law itself in sup
plying the public with necessities at
moderate prices. The exceptions are
being noted and vigorous use will be
made in these cases of the powers
conferred by congress.
"For the most part, however, the
food administration anticipates the
full cooperation and voluntary sup
port of all licensees without resort to
compulsion."
