Justice Sutherland in delivering the
dissenting views insisted the tax was
a distinct and unconstitutional dis
elimination against chain stores and

The case held unusual interest be-
cause cf the growth of chain stores

tests from independent merchants and
ctasrs who contend that the ultimate

Chain Stores Must
Pay Heavy License
WASHINGTON-May 1S-AP
The Indiana law of 1929 i'm
posing heavy license fees for
chain stores was sustained as val

id today by the supreme court.
The law was attacked on the
ground there was no proper relation
between the number of stores and the
business conducted in applying the
tax and that it had no real relation
to public health and safety.
The state claimed it was a national
tax, operated equally and evenly and
was valid. Justice Roberts in render
ing the opinion said the court held
the classification was good and the
tax was valid.
Justice Sutherland states that JUS
tice Van Devanter, McReynolds and
Butler joined him in dissenting. He
said they believed the decision of the
lower courts holding the tax invalid
should have been approved.

sideration by the House Of any bill IA
yorably reported by a committee ana
pending on the House calendars. This
rule would absolutely place it within the
power of the House to execute its Will.
1t would destroy the autocratic and dc
tatorial power of the Rules Committee
and make that committee useful in
strumentality in the House-the servant
and not the master of the House.
I have watched new members when
they report for duty. They are able,
outstanding men in their communities.
They come full of enthusiasm and a
conscientious desire to render service TO
their people. They soon find themselves
'hogtied" by gag rule and unable to
have their bills considered or to dis
cuss them either before the House COM
nittees or the House itself. They find
that they are but small cogS in a vast
piece of machinery which runs at the
dictates of the few bosses" Their en-
thusiasm is subdued and hope and am
bition to render faithful service is
changed to despair and discomfort. /
hope the amendments I shall propose
will ameliorate this unfortunate and
unhappy condition.
If the changes shall propose are
adopted in my Judgment the rules Of
the House will be workable and good
code of rules. and this conviction is
based on 80 years of familiarity with
the procedure of the House of Repre-
sentatives. If you, my countrymen, de-
sire that the House of Representatives
shall once again perform the duties of a
representative body, as our forefathers
who wrote the Constitution intended, ]
again appeal to you to request your
Representative in the next Congress to
cooperate in the proposed changes in
the rules of the House.

The House does not consider any bill
until it has first been referred to a
committee and reported back to the
House. If the committee is opposed to
the bill and desires to kill it behind
closed doors and to prevent or protect
the members from voting on it, it re-
fuses to report it back to the House at
all, but burieS it in the archives of the
committee and kills it in the darkness
of the committee room. Before the
House can act on the bill it must get
it ava from the committee and back
on the calendars CT the House. The
House has the inherent power to do this
by diScharglng the committee from fur
ther consideration of the bill, but, I'M
der our present rules, there is no way
to accomplish it if the triumvirate
wishes to kill the bill. 1 shall offer a
rule, to be called a discharge rule, which
will correct this unhappy state of af-
fairs. In my Judgment, the rule would
be a conservative and workable one, but
it is harsh and drastic and should be
used only to deal with a stubborn and
recalcitrant committee. No discharge
rule should furnish to a mere handful
of disgruntled members an opportunity
to interfere with the orderly procedure
of the House.
100 Members Necessary.
desiring action on any special legislation
pigeon-holed in a committee should be
required to make this rule operate and
to require the House to vote on the mo-
ton to discharge? 1 have selected 100
members as being necessary to perfect
the motion and get it in order for con-
sideration by the House. Why have
selected hundred? When you have
code of rules, is it not wise to have
. D. oE1 ~ fnY
as practicable? Under the rules of the
House, hundred members is quorum
in the Committee of the Whole House
on the State of the Union for the con-
Sideration of tax measures taxing the
people billions of dollars. One hundred
is a quorum authorized to consider APP
preparation bills appropriating approx
H. ~'v five billions OF dollars yearly.
THERETO. if a hundred members are
competent to r-"s on tax and appro-
priations bills, are IIuc hundred of
sufficient Importance to inItIsto a mo-
ton to discharge a committee frcm ~
consideration Of measure, that mo-
ton only to be in order to be called
up on two days out CT each month?
During an entire lcng session of Con-
greSs there would probably be only 10
or IL days when the motion could
operate. 1t would not in any wise clog
business. 1t would not in any way cause
chaos. 1t would not. as I apprehend
some OF my distinguished opponents will
say, provide for legislation on petition.
1t would do nothing Of the kind. The
hundred members would simply initiate
the motion, and the motion could not be
filed until the bill to which it was di-
rected had been before one OF the stand
ing committees at least 80 days. Then,
when the motion had obtained hun
bred signatures, it must go on the call
ender of motions to discharge COM
mittees and remain there at least seven
days before it could be called up. 1t

BALLOT OF WEAVERS
HITS SYSTEM CHANGE
Lancashire Controversy, With
100000 Locked Out, Threatens
Tie-up of Textile Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANCHESTER, England, January
24.-Weavers in the Lancashire cotton
industry voted heavily against author
izing their leaders to resume negotia-
lions with mill owners looking toward
installation of the so-called more looms
per weaver system.
A ballot among union members stood
9o.77O against 44,990, it was announced
this afternoon.
Mill owners locked out 100000
weaveEs on this issue and the adverse
vote probably means than an equal
number of spinners will be thrown into
idleness, and the textile industry will
be tied up until the difficulty is solved.
The Objectionable system requires
that each weaver now operating four
looms take over twice that many. The
owners offered $l0-a-week wage in
crease but the weavers contended that
the system would thrown many men
out of work
Peace parleys were futile, even after
the government stepped in, and the
lockout came a week ago. Now there
is prospect of long tie-up.
Government Intervention is expected
but no one could predict what form II
would take.

Now. the hundred members would not
discharge the committee-bear that in
mind. The hundred would not discharge
the committee, but the hundred would
simply inaugurate the machinery where
by the House itself on those two days
in each month would have the privilege
of a Commute debate 90 for and 10
againSt) and vote as to whether or
not 1t desired to discharge the commit
tee. If majority of the House wished
to discharge the committee and they so
voted. the committee would be dis
charged and the bill would be up for
consideration by the House itself. If
q majority did not desire the discharge
of the committee and voted against 1t,
the motion would be defeated. 1 repeat
it would not be the hundred members
who discharged the committee-it would
be a majority of the House. voting in
the affirmative, a quorum being present.
Some may say this rule would place
the committees of the House under
6ureSS and prevent an orderly consld-
Grafton by them of the measures before
them. Such charge would reflect upon
the intelligence of the House of Repre-
sentatives. If committee is honestly
and seriously having hearings on and
considering a bill, you could not get 10
it, nor could you get a majority of the
House to discharge the committee. The
rule would net place the committee un-
der dureSs, but would have tendency
to make them more conSiderate of the
wishes of the House, and probably only
in rare cabs would it be necessary to
apply the rule. The rule is intended to
deal with willful committees that are
endeavoring to suppress legislation In
70 that House NAV
not act upon it.
Rules Committee Supreme.
In my Judgment, the members who
are not afraid and are courageous
enough to let the pubic know their
views en- pending legislation, no matter
how fraught with political consequences
to themselves, will support the rule. l
rejoice in the conviction that the over
Whe!ming majority of the members OF
the House are able. conscientious. fear
less, upright men and women and that
therefore they will adopt this discharge
rule in the new rules for the Seventy
second Congress.
Under our present code Of rules, the
Rules Committee is in supreme control
of what measures the House shall be
permitted to consider. 1t largely exc
cutes the DEGREES of the triumvirate.
Under the discharge rule which l have
Just described it would be possible on
two days in each month, at the re-
quest of 100 members, to vote as to
whether or not the Rules Committee
should be discharged from any resolu-
ton pending before it providing either

the neck of the infant. who later be-
came the Laird of EdmonS.one Estate.
