rest members OF The state police for any alleged

| upon the Estate Constabulary" In his last mes
sage and says that "therc have been some cases
where complaints have been made OF their con.
| duct, but upon investigation it has been found

rather than with the manner In which IL has been
executed" That is one way OF putting II, ner-
haps Til: true way; certain It Is, however, that If
this proposed measure become n law the Cover

truthfully say that there Is great complaint not
