/ MI Hcselton Of Remedies:
| Mr. President: In support Of this
| order, | beg the Indulgence Of the Sen
ate for a fCw minutes while | explain,
| if explanation is necessary, its purpose
and scope. If possible l want to dis
associate any action directed by this
| order from an investigation of any per
son or department and thus save it
| from falling under the ban of the SEN
atorial order recently adopted and
| consequent defeat.
| | am going to assume that the son
ators present know there are public
criticisms in the press of both parties.
as to the mauer III which certain legal
agencies authorized by our statute
have been conducted. II proper I might
say that personal criticisms of the con-
duet Of these agencies have been mad
me by Republican and Democratic
| members of this Legislature. l might
add that respectable men OF this state
have complained that some of these
AGENCIES were being used apparently by
| the municipalities in which they wert
located for the purpose of making
money, that excessive prices have been
there charged for those liquors. Ana
| | might say that in some cases the
complaints have bean made that minors
and druniards have been able to pro-
! cure intoxicating liquors from some oi
! rhnca complaints
