T0: The Members of the House of Representatives,
elected to the 1951 Session thereof.
As promised at Temps, I give you my ideas on some im-
provement, revision and clarification of the l9ks House Rules.
These are gleaned from experience and some review or prior rules
of the House, Jefferson's manual, Cannon'a Manual and May's
Parlimentery Practice.
Rules have six sources-
1. The Constitution of the State. A review of Article
III is commended.
2. The authority of the Constitution under Section 6
of Article III.
3. Precedent of the House. A valuable collection of
which by Mr. Allen Morris ap;ear at page 15R, et eeq., in the
Volume of the 1949 Rules.
4. Statutes. (See Chapter: 10 and ll, Florida State
utea 19&9).
5. Precedent of the House or Rep~veentntivcs of the
Gangrene of the United States. See Rule 22.
6. Ordinary Rules or Perlinentsry Procedure.
This work has been neither authorized nor approved by the
Speaker designate, neither do I contemplate membership on the
Rules Committee. The work is my individual effort without any
collaboration other than editing.
