have passed. So far as I can find out it
is brought in to legalize the unprofes-
sional work of Mr.. Castle. The bill is
unconstitutional, as il is retrospective
legislation.
Noble Baldwin, introduced this bill
and have no personal interest in it what
ever think the remarks however of
the honorable Noble with regard to Mr..
Castle are somewhat too personal.

they thought it was a good bill saving
that it defined terms in the present law
which were somewhat vague. have no
objections to having it go to commit
tee and have it investigated.
Noble Macfarlane = The bill was
brought in very early in the session, and
very likely Noble Baldwin thought it q
good bill. His legal friend however
should have informed him that the sec
ond section was unconstitutional.
Rep. Lucas thought the bill should go
Special committee. The National Re-
form Party has not come here to make

know whether the money came from w.
r. Castle or II. Castle) l am not in
favor of wasting any time in considering
it in Committee of the Whole. The
speaker thought at first it was good

reference to Special committee, and if
