Minister Thurston had been consider
ing what committee the bill ought to be
referred TO. The committee on Com
MERGE would be proper, but member OF
that committee had been shaking his fist
at the bill and the speaker was afraid to
send it to that committee. 1t might be
referred to the Military committee on the
ground that when man IS drunk he al
ways wants to fight. He would move
reference to Special committee to deal
with the liquor question, as there are al
ways a number OF bills on this subject.
Rep. Bush was in favor of the motion
and would like to have Noble Horner
and himself appointed on that commit
tee.
Rep. Nawahi was not in favor OF the
motion. Was in favor of consideration
in Committee of the Whole. If the

liquors in order to get his money back.
We ought to consider it very carefully.
We all know that use OF liquor is bad
thing and we want to regulate it all We
can. We have no law here as under
stand they have in the countries where
a Government officer goes round and
tests liquor to see if it is pure. We have
an officer to test oil and milk but none
for liquor.
Motion to refer to q special committee
was carried.
