Geoghegan supported the bill warmly
and said the aspersions cast upon the
friends OF the bill by Judson needed no

that there was a lobbyist from Cali

passage. To my unsophistieated mind 1t
looks as II this proposed commissioner is a
sort OF agent OF this concern. Nc one here

Herren hoped the minority would now
las down their opposition 20 the bill and
allow the emergency clause to pass.
Jndson OF Pierce repeated his objections
To the bill.
This bill IS bad he declared, land
vote no all the time on bad bills.
The gentleman has reflected my senti-
ments exactly. said Rutter.
'4Them's my sentiments added Brown
Of Spokane.
Geoghegan made warm speech showing
how the bill originated and Indignantly de-
nying that there was any job in il.
Gfubh opposed the emergency clause be-
cause he didn't think the bill was honest.
The commissioner was not required TO give
bonds or security. and when 1t comes TO
question Of $1,000 he didn't trust the hon
eSty of any man. Probably Mr. Geoghe-
gan thought OF the same thing when he
moved to lay Clark's resolution on the
table.
tieoghegan wanted the gentleman to ex.
plain his remarks.
JGdson again acclaimed against the bill
He said he judged measure always by ils
surroundings; and the surroundings OF
this hiIi were certainly wrong The vote
