5WlsIer said that because abuses might
nave CLept In 1t was no reason to strike at
/ the OLD, gray-headed pioneers who had
made The Stale what it is. There are
many Oh them scattered through the min
ing counties, old, homeless, and with no
! one to care for them, and drift around
from one place to another. They should
! De state charge, and not a county one.
fneIps said an appropriation of $500, 900
mac been asked for their support. but no

zion, which was the manufacture ana sale
OF cigarettes.

henslon that he did not know when q
speaker was speaking to the question he
