The bill II entitled, IA blu to amend

Offending clause In question, which It
ls thought has the effect OF repeating
the whole military law and rendering
section 10l, which reads: Chapters 1s

military forces OF the state are re-
peaIed." The bill was approved by
Gov. MacCorkle February 25th, and .

ed Auditor LaF'ollette. The serious
flaw and sweeping character Of the lan-
g1age Of section 10l was detected by
Mr.. LaFoIlette, upon application 10 him
for payments under the Law, which he
calefully examined before allowing the
payments, with the result as stated.
