 receiver of the property should be ap- pointed.
 An Amendment or Six
 The amendment was dScussed at length and every few minutes some other amendment was suggested to re- pair holes t.~>t appeared in the Walton amendment. For instance, it was found that many kinds of property could not be profitably employed; a small mine could not be worked; a man might own land which he could not irrigate; maybe he could not secure the neces- sary labor. These were a few of a thousand contingencies that might arise and the few were thus covered by such hindsight amendments as the dis covery of the contingencies suggested.
 Might Work Injustice
 The penalizing of the stockholders of a corporation and the members of an association it was shown might be the greatest injustice: that they might not be able to control the affairs of the corporation or the association. That was then fixed up after the Walton amendment had been adopted without a dissenting vote. 1t is not to be pre- stunned that a majority of the members favored the amendment; they had ev- dently consented to it tamely because | they believed that it's inclusion in the measure would not affect the original purpose of the bill. That view was in dicated by a later amendment by Mir | Lines providing that if any section ol the bill should be found to be uncon- stitutional that should not impair the validity of the other sections. This l amendment was adopted and in this | form the committee of the whole wher. these proceedings took place recom- mended the passage of the bill. Charges Not War Measure AAA similar occurrence took place ir Oe senate in the course of the consid | eration of the sabotage bill when MT Sutter's measure was offered as sub- stitute for Senate Bill 3. MT. Winso1 renewed his objection that this was not war legislation and could not by the widest stretch of imagination be considered as such. It was calculated to arouse the suspicion of labor anc promote strife which should be denre. | cated by all.
 Mir. Sutter replied that it was prop erly war legislation, intended to fur ther the efforts of the government il carrying on the war and was aimed only at those Y ho practiced or advo cated sabotage. Only those who fav | ored sabotage, he said, could oppos, the bill.
 Winsor Opposes Measure
 MT. Winsor again designated tn bill as firebrand thrown into the sit uation and stated that bad and un intended use might be made of such law. MT. Wilkinson did not believ that Senator Winsor's objection wa sound. The bill proposed to interfer with no freedom of speech; only wit seditious acts and utterances and il
 that interference the state would b aiding the federal government whic
 was endeavoring to suppress the yer
 things this bill was designed to sup
 press.
 Another Amendment Made MT. Roberts saw no need of this leg
 islation; it was another outcropping c the disregard of personal rights whil property rights were held sacred. Afte remarks bv MT. Colter and other sen , ators, MT. Mahoney suggested a amendment punishing the invasion C the constitutional rights of any cit l izen or the advocacy of such an inva , sion. This amendment was accepte r and the bill was substituted for Sen ate Bill 3 by vote of g to and b , that vote its enactment was recon, mended.
 r The emergency clause was als
 stricken off of this bill and there is disposition to strike it off of ever important measure for it is now evi dent that no bill concerning whic !, there is any dis~ute can secure a two !, thirds vote in either house. Q Automobile Confiscation :. The bill providing for the confisca n ton of automobiles taken while bein r employed in the transportation of 1T q toxicating liquor within the state Wa t passed in the house by a unanimc
