while if we wait until Tuesday. we
should be just so far behind.
Mr.. BARNES of Houlton: Mr..
Speaker, may l rise to withdraw my
motion and say that at the time l
made it l had no knowledge that it
was simply for the purpose of intro
oucing an amendment and printing it.
The molten was made that the rule1
be suspended and that we consider
Bill 502. Now I had agreed with a
certain gentleman who had to go home
to see to it that nothing happened to
this bill in his absence, and / have sat
here and heard well phrased by men
who can phrase things what a gen.
tlemen's agreement is. l do not know
so much about it now as when I start
ed except that the Speaker said that
had properly plrased it myself. Now
| am not asking any favors Of any
body about Friday: and, although there
is no an;mus on either side about this
little matter, it is the incest time to
know what that rule is There will
be occasions between now and the next
| full moon when there may be a little
spirit shown to say the least, and
90 not want any rule thrown up
against me that is not printed, agreed
upon or understood. l will take care
Of myself or attempt to. With these
predatory remarks, 1 will withdraw my
opposition to the consideration of Bill
| SOP.
The SPEAKER: Is it the pleasure
of the House that the rules be sus-
pended and that House Bill 500 now
| be taken up out of order?
