It provides that,after th» previous questien shall have been or- dered on the passage of a bill or joint reselution, one motlon to recommit shall be In order, and the speaker shall recog- | nize a member who opposed the measure for the purpose of making that motion, The first opportunity to test the efficancy of this provision was on the passage of the tariff bill by the adoption of ‘the con- ference report thereon. The minority had its plans with great care. Champ Clark had arranged to have Representative Mann of lilinois, a republican who op- posed the bill on account of the duty on woed pulp, make the motion to recommit. But when the time came to recognize a | membér to make that motion, Speaker Can- non recognized Mr. Payne, the majority |leader, who promptly movea to recommit |and to lay that motion onthe table, Of ‘eourse, the minority strenuously ob- |dected to this procedure as being in direct contravention of the recently adopted rule, But Asher Hinds, the house parliamentar- ian, informed the speaker a conference report is not a bill or a joint resoiution, and that therefors the minority could not elaim the right of prefdrential recogni- tion. It was a splitting of hairs, but the | minority concluded that the reputed use- tulness of the new rule was over-estimated, it It i3 to be subjected to interpretation by | Asher Hinds and application by ‘“‘Uncle Jo Cannen. | It 1s a faverable declaration of Speaker |Cannon that there never is a time the | mragority eanmet legisiate and even dwpese | the speaker if it wills te. While theoreti- cally this is true, in actual practice there would be se many parllamentary femeces te |altmb beween the desire and its secem- plishment that & heuss probably weuld pre- for at all times travel the leng highway te the expiration of the spemker's ferm te eutting mcross lots te depese him. No speaker ever has been depssed, and none has resigned under fire. Henry Clay re w'gncd twice, and Andrew Stevenson ence, but In neither case was it because of | adverse sentiment. | The “unanimous egnsent calendar’’ is one of the new features of procedure Inserted |in the rules of the house as a result of Some Things You Want to Know The American Qongress—Procedure in the House. the fight last spring. Tt was elaimed that it weuld go along way teward overcoming what many representatives have considered the unmpleasant necessity of a persenal intereession with “‘Uncle Joe" to allow a tavorite bill to come up. Under the old rale the peaker could tell the member he would see him In some warmer elimate before he would recognize him for the purpose of | calling up that bill, sometimes placing & few forceful adjectives ahead of the bill. If the speaker had no objections te Iits coming up, however, the member could ask | for unanimeys consent onee, and If it was refused, he could ask agaln at a more opportune time Under the “calendar Wednesday” rule a bill which is favorably reported by a com- mittee of the house may be placed on this calendar, and take its turn in being called up from the calendar. It so happens that it it is a measure the speaker objects to, & nod of the head or a wink of the eve will produce an ebjector Instantly, If it appears to him a harmless measure It might stand some chance were thers not a few Robert Bruce Macons whose sole opportunity for participating In the real affairs of the house is to declare, “Mr. Speaker, I ob- ject.”” If any one of the chronic objectors | Is present, the bill ealled up frem the| “‘unanimous ' consent ndar’ has abeut as mueh chance of slipping past him as an ieicle has of sutviving a melting pot. And | when ebjection is ence made the bill's| chanee of passage under unanimous con- | sent is past and gone forever; for the rules o previde. Under the old method there was Juel as good a chance of its getting past the speaker as there is now. And thers was a slight ehance that the Robert Bruce Macens mught be caught napping. New they are always on notice when unanimous conment I te be asked, and their efforts will trameform this rule from the bread of | hepe-for relief Into & stene of unfulfilled promie. The wpeaker of the heuse has entrenched | himeelf abselutely in his pewer of reco nising whem he will. In 180 the rules| committee decided that discretion in the matter of recognition eught to be reposed in the speaker, and the very next year the then speaker declined to entertain an ap- peal from his decision on a question of recogniticn, although the rules specifically say that “he shall declde all questions of order, subject to an appeal” to the house by any member. All of the speakers since Randall have denied the right of the house or Its members to question their decisions | in recognizing whom they will. In the| senate thera can be no such procedure, Recognition goes o the first man who ad- dresses the ehair, and the senate reserved the right to determine who that Individual is whenever it desired to do so. The commities of the whele heuse on the state of the union is the step In the house procedure, where the member from Wayback comes into his own. While there 1s always a partleular measure before this committee whe: the house transforms it- selt Into such a body by the speaker's handing the gavel to another whom he des- ignated as chaiiman, yet everything from Dan to Bercheeba, from Alpha to Omega, from a postoffice at Podunk to a half mil- lion dollar appropriation for deep water- ways, may be discussed. In the beginning of a session’ of congress where there Is lit- tle real work to be done, this committes becomes the greatest scene of talking “for buncombe” the worid has ever witnessed. Indeed, that very expressive phrase itself originated 'in that comittec. ‘It happened that a member from Buncombe county, North Carolina, was speaking in this com- mittee when he was chided for his pro- Jonged stump speech He replied that he ald not give a continental for the house, but was talking for Buncombe.
