Proposed Law to Supplement
Webb Act.
BY JAMES 3. NEvIN.

Already there are signs a-plenty
1lat the water wagon cohorts are
girding up their loins for the fray,
and that the forthcoming miXup Is TO
be no place for mollycoddles.
a bill similar in detail to the late
lamsnted 90 Tippins bin viii be in
troduced. OF course, and in addition
60 that comes the information that
bill designed 90 doyetail into the
new Federal Webb law" is being

legislators like 10 avoid II wherever
they may.
