That would look like getting another or different proposition into a bill. and would fall under the limitation of the rule contended for here that would destroy the practice of amendments of a substantive kind altogether. But the wisdom of the rule I maintain exists is upheld uniformly by the precedents I have just read. Again I read: An amendment providing for an educational test for immigrants was held to be germane to a bill for the regulation of Immigration of aliens into the United States. That looked to me like going aside. but under a proper construction of the last part of paragraph 7 of Rule XVI. it was held to be within the "subject" of the immigration bill. That subject was under consideration. and being the " subject." not the "proposition." then it was in order. This being the rule and practice. my amendment is clearly within it and germane and consequently in order.
