committee, there are many of its pro-
visions that have been found upon in
vestigation to be seriously objection
able, more especially sections 4, and 6,
which, If passed, might raise a question
as to the constitutionality of the act.
Your committee has therefore prepared
and herewith submits an amended act

a substitute for the original bill.

point out that although by its terms
this amended bill may prove inopera-
tive by limiting the security to U. S. OF

ccuraged in every way possible"
