legislative correspondent says they
Will kill it. If they do not, we favor .
Killing the committee OF the 200 bills -
Introduced in the House this session =
this is the most foolish and mischiev a
Gus. Il is clearly unconstitutional be Il
cause il infringes the rights Of Inter 4
State commerce. n
The bill is simply the demand Of a y
few grangers who wish all legislation e,
IN their favor, and without regard to n
the rights or interests Of others. There r,
has been too much Of this sort Of leeis- Al
ation, the OleOmargarine law Of The n
last session being a bad sample. We Al
hope that when such a measure be- 4
comes a law in Delaware that Illinois n
and other States will not receive Del h
aware peaches unless they are inspect V
