State of Wisconsin, represented In Sen
ate and Assembly, enacts as follows:
| That no person engaged in, connected
with or employed on a newspaper or jour
nal shall be compelled to disclose in any
I legal proceedings or trial or before any
committee of the Legislature or elsewhere
the source of any news or information
procured or obtained by him for and pub
lished in the newspaper on and in which
he is engaged, connected or employed"

| It produced a spirited debate, it's principal
supporters besides Hall being Davidson
and W. A. Jones. The Senate adopted
Timm's resolution calling for the appoint
ment of special joint committee to in
vestigate and report the number and COM
pensation of capitol employees.
