Consideration of senate bill No. 5, by

was raised, not so much to the bill, but
to the amendment proposed by Repre-
sentative Callister that any discreet
male citizen over the age of q years
may be deputed by a justice of the
peace to serve a summons. Mr.. Calls
ter could see no reason for restricting
the service of a summons to a sheriff,
city marshal or constable. but the two
opponents to his amendment pointed
out that the danger TO be avoided was
the facility with which, as in the past,
irresponsible persons connected with
collection agencies would pretend to
