| carefully the word knowingly was
| inserted, when TINT law was put be
! lore the legal affairs committee, it APP
| peared that there Was some objection.
As 1t happened / was before COM
! mite" on a law in regard to untrue
advertisements. | had in my posses
sion the statute and / offered that as
a substitute measure. y Portland gen
| tIefnan appeared there faNoring the
| Massd chusetts bin. Later one of his
| force OF employees wrote to the commit
| tee Ill regard 10 the Statute. Last night,
| I had letter from the president Of
! the Advertising League. who is also
an official Of that same newspaper as
sociation, suggesting that | offer
substitute measure.
Evidently the people who were first
| in favor at the Statute were not aware
Of Tie fact that the measure had met
With the disappruVat Of the Executive.
MIR President. I have a great deal
10 say on this statute. but it is unnec-
essary. The measure is right. 1t will
protect the honest advertiser. 1t will
| enable the prosecuting attorney to pun
/ ISL -he dishonest advertiser. Back Of
| this measure are very many response
Bile men. Further than that some of
| tie leading publishing concerns in this
| country are actively at work purging
their columns of such advertisements
| They are doing this for their own ben
Cit And I think ii IS right TO say when
you stop one unfair advertiser you
| MAKE 10 fair advertisers.
Mr.. FLAHERTf Of Cumberland: Mr.
President, l wish 10 say just a word
in regard to this Act mere / wish to
say that the president Of the Portland
Advertising League VAS in my store
and willingly offered To substitute this
| model statute. l told him about it and
he said that he did not understand the
| law did not have anything to do with it.
There are several business men in
| Portland who are in favor OF this law
| going in as it is. They are not afraid
| of saying anything in their advertise
| ments that are misleading. And they
| asked me to make statement before
| the senator's approving this Act, and
| they trust il will be given c5nsidera-
| t:oh.
The PRESIDENT The pending
| question Is shall this bill become law
