14—DEER.—To Amend.
See some hunters trying to mend the DEERS antlers.
15—TOWEL.—To Postpone Indefinitely.
A TOWEL is rolled up and placed on a high shelf, its use is indefinitely postponed.
16—DISH.—The main or Principal Question.
See a large DISH carried in and put in the middle of the table, indicating that it is the principal dish.
The question of whether or not these motions are debatable is an important one. You will notice that each question is marked "debatable" or "non-debatable." The easiest way to fix this in mind is to take them in groups. Notice that the motions from 1 to 11 are non-debatable, and that the motions from 12 to 16 are debatable.
The exceptions to this fact are the motions 3 and 5 which are debatable. In our Number Code M stands for 3 and L for 5, represent the motions 3 and 5, by M and L, made into the word MULE. These are debatable, or can be "kicked" about, which idea is easily associated with MULE. This will always keep in mind that the only debatable motions of the first set are the motions Mule.
Another question is, which motions require a two-thirds vote to carry? They are the motions 6, 9 and 11. These three Numbers are represented by the words SASH, WHIP and DOT, which can easily be fixed in mind.
Whether the motion, TO LAY ON THE TABLE, or the motion, TO SUSPEND RULES, should have precedence can be decided by referring to your pictures. To suspend the Rules brings the picture of the Whip Suspending the Ruler from a string. To lay on the Table brings the picture of a man putting his Toes on the Table. Whip is 9 and Toes is 10, therefore you know that to Suspend the Rule has the precedence.
