The Chair will recognize the gentleman from sent, and it occurs to me that, under general parliamentary Georgia [Mr. HAnnwrcK]. law as modified under the practice and rules of the House, the Mr. HARDWICK. Mr. Speaker, it seems to me that there is gentleman was in order when he introduced the reso1ution to no question whatever that the point of order is good. The rules commit to a special committee named in the resolution; there of general parliamentary law govern this House until it is or fore the point of order against him should not be sustained, ganized, and certainly, although by analogy the rules of the last since he is entirely in order. [Applause.] House might be applied as a part of general parliamentary law, Mr. GARDNER. Let us take this question first from the they could have no application whatever when the proposition is point of view of general parliamentary law without regard to to commit. In a body that has no committees, how can we the rules of the House. First a motion for the previous ques commit to a committee? tion is offered by the gentleman from Texas [Mr. HENRY], and Mr. MURDOCK. 1\Ir. Speaker; will the gentleman yield? next a motion to commit is offered by the gentleman from Mr. HARDWICK. Certainly. Oregon. Under general parliamentary law the Chair would Mr. MURDOCK. This is to commit to a special committee, first put the motion which was first offered, to wit, the motion not to a standing committee, and the rules of the House per for the previous question. . Certainly the gentleman from mit it. Oregon's motion could not be in order until the motion for the Mr. HARDWICK. I thought at first it was to commit to the previous question had been dealt with, and I am by no means Committee on Rules, but it do.es not make any difference about sure that it would be in order at all unless the previous ques that. Under general par.Iiamentary law we have no special tion is negatived. Next let us take up the contention that we co mrni ttees. are J;>roceeding under the rules of the last House of Representa Mr. LAFFERTY. This is a committee to be appointed by the tives. Where do we find ourselves? The rules of the House Speaker. give a certain definite order of precedence for permissible mo Mr. HARDWICK. And not only that; but the rule to which tions when a bill or resolution is under debate. The rules, for the gentleman refers applies only to the proposition to recom example, give to the motion to Jay on the table a precedence mit, and that was put in there as a special privilege, th:it after over the motion for the previous question even though the latter · the previous question was PJO>ed, the motion to recommit, under motion comes first in point of time. In order of precedence first certain circumstances, would be in order. It· seems to me that comes the motion to adjourn, next the motion to lay on, the when we La•e no committees in this bocly a proposition to table, next the motion for the previous question. The motion to cl'eate committees is not in oruer pending- a . proposition that we commit, the motion to postpone, and the motion to amend all slm.ll del·crmine n·h:it the general plan of organization is, and must give way to the motions of higher precedence which I tlle 11endeucy of thE' t1 e1rnrnd ·fo r the previous question thereon. ha-re enumerated.

That raises another question which I speaking, but where, under the rules which ha \e been in force wanted to come to. The gentleman admits, and I believe those in the House, there have been decisions by Speakers that cer who will study the philosophy of parliamentary law will admit, tain rules of the House were to be considered as general par that the rules which are ack"Ilowledged are not the arbitrary liamentary law in the absence of the adoption of specific rules, judgments of individ al men.

They were not able to do that, and they will not be desires to call to the attention of the whole membership of the nble to vote up their affirmative proposition. But we have an House the first two or three sentences in Jefferson's Manual : opportunity to get away from an illogical precedent at a time Mr. Onslow, the ablest among the speakers ot the House of Commons, when the ruling will not affect the result in this House. It will used to say " It was a maxim he had often beard when he was a young man from old and experienced members that nothing tended more to not do to say that the previous question under general parlia throw power into the hands of administration and those who acted mentary law does not mean what it expressly says, because with the majority of the House of Commons than a neglect of or de instead of using the old form, " Shall the original question now parture from the rules of proceeding; that these fo1·ms as instituted by our anc£-stors operated as a check and control on the actions af the be put!" it uses the words "previous question."

Will the gentleman yield? Jefferson goes on to indorse that. The Chair would not feel l\1r. SHERLEY. Yes . l\1r. MURDOCK. The gentleman has recited the evolution that he is slavishly bound to follow the decisions of any Speaker, of the previous question. The previous question formerly did or even of all Speakers, if he were certain that he was right; but some things come to be a settled practice in this country. mean something that it does not mean to-day. In the same way I want to point out that there was a day when the motion to For instance. the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. MANN] and the lay a motion on the table was merely a temporary postpone present O{:cupant of the chair have frequently talked privately ment of action, but to-day u motion to lay n proposition on the abont the word " amendments" as used in the Constitution with table is final. Now, the prc,·ious question has tnken on through respect tu the power of the Senate to propose them to revenue the years an entirely different nature than it had in the begin bills which must originate in the House. The Senate has the ning. Does not the gentleman concede that there has been a right to amend revenue bills. Privately the gentleman and I modification of the original drastic nature of the previous agreed-and we agree now, no doubt-that that phraseology question! giving the Senate the power to amend a revenue bill never meant ori~dnul1y that the Senate should have the right to ,, 1\-Ir. SHERLEY. No. Mr. MURDOCK. I think the former Speakers have so ruled, strike out .everything 3:fter the ena.~ting clause in a reve~ue ~ill/ and the Spenker to-day has so held. and substitute an entirely new bill. Yet that very s1tuat10~ arose at the beginning of the first session of the last Congress, Mr. SHERLEY. If it was, there would not be the necessity or shortly after it was organized. The gentleman from Illinois for affirmative action. The very fact of the rule which the then raised that very point. The present occupant of the chair gentleman relies on. and the language of it, is evidence that the overruled his point, but stated in overruling it that if he had people who drew it recognized that without it the right would been the Speaker of the fu·st House and that same point had not exist. Now, if there be some reasoning that can be ad vanced in favor if it, all right; but what have we here! We have been raised he would have sustained it, but that for 122 years the distinguished authority of two great names, Speaker Crisp the Senate had proceeded upon the theory-and the House had acquiesced in it-that the Senate had that power, and it became :ind Speaker Carlisle, both so holding, and no one stating why a settled practice. they so held. As the Chair stated a while ago the House some years ago I again submit, with a perfect consciousness that my effort concluded that there ought to be a provision in the rules by will be in vain, that the ruling is contrary to the very purnose which a Member by a motion to recommit could always get a of the previous question. vote upon his proposition. The Chair believes that is right, and The SPEAKER. The Chair would like to ask the gentleman he believes that all of these decisions by Mr. Speaker Carlisle, from Kentucky a question. The House found itself some years l\Ir. Speaker Crisp, and l\fr. Speaker Reed are right. The first ago in a situation which it determined to- rid itself of, and then, one-and by the way the Chair will state that it was the first to get rid of the situation that it did not like, it made it impera thing that ever happened after he came into Congress 20 years tive on the Speaker to recognize a Member of the minority prefer ago-is the decision by l\Ir. Speaker Crisp on a point of order ably to make a motion to recommit after the third reading, even made by l\Ir. O'Ferrall, afterwards governor of Virginia. The where the previous question has been ordered on a bill and all Chair reads from Hinds' Precedents, volume 5, secti.on 5604: amendments to final passage.
