" He stated as n fact the bin had bee
4 before the committee on special legisla
fion for a long time and there had bee
effort made To get that committee 10 re
H port without success. 1t was tho desir
OF the minority. at least. TO get at I'm
portant legislation which was before tf
committee for consideration. The CON
n mittee had not made report and the IN
tention. apparently, was not to make RI
port.
Il was important that the general AZ
'# eeubly enact legislation and the minorit
had been clamoring for the legislatio
I now before the committee. IL was charg
that the minority had been obstructr
K" 1eRislatIon when as a matter OF fact u
minority had nothing before Il.
The law that u was proposed 20 r,
enact was considered important last yea
AZ II was a fact that the proposed law b'
| cam Cooperative and the corporation TIT
t was affected principally refused TO ob'
the law.
The stand was taken that the la
would not be obeyed. and after the Ia
had been defied and ignored the legsll
ture made such amendment as practical
makes the law imperative. Such was q
power OF the corporation over the legi
iature, and ne did not believe II had
parallel IN the history OF the country.

consider the bill After seven weeks
4 legislation the bill had not been report'
and n appeared that the majority d
sired 70 hold up the bill and then 20 re-
resent thas the majority prevented legl
lAtion.
