I think it was some time back when. as the Speaker may recall. General Grosvenor offered an amendment to have an investigation made of a certain legislative proposal. I am not certain about the ruling. but I recall the incident. and I am of the opinion that Speaker Cannon held it was a germane proposal to refer to a commission the investigation of a substantive proposition that was under consideration at that time. which was the investigation of some matters pertaining to immigration. I have not had time to investigate the precedents. I have examined the Digest. but have not found the ruling.
