bers OF such bodies are jumping Jacks
ready to leap onto any proposed leg
station which they consider popular,
regardless OF its effect on the rights
OF the people and the press. Il Il not
surprising that such freak legisla-
tion as that rroposed by the Washing
ton legislature Is sometimes enacted
into law. In our neighboring state
some freak individual has introduced
a bill prohibiting the publication OF
news on many subjects. enumerating
the following:
ANY account OF the commission
or attempted commission OF the crime
Of rape. adultery. carnal knowledge
seduction or other sexual crime.
Amy account OF the execution OF
any person convicted OF crime.
ANY circumstantiai account OF any
criminal homicide. or the trial OF a
person charged Herewith.
Amy detailed account OF the evil
dence OF Indecent, immoral or OBJ
