 Liquor Referendum
 Representative "Huey" Drager, always open for suspicious" con sideration in his moments of lev ity yelling deadly seriousness. plant ed both feet on Anderson's liquor referendum bill with proposal for an amendment that would place the referendum in l948 instead of ls40, but the attempt failed of passage.
 However, Dragers amendment, striking the section of the bill which would require the l94l Leg islature to act on the results of the referendum, carried successful ly, IA to 2, on the general grounds that we haven't the right to place any demands on the coming Leg islature."

 Fourth Divisioners Rogge, Spencer, Gordon and Lander, backing their constituents who have already evi- denced their dislike of bill that will confiscate their skins and give a bounty that Interiorites figure is not equal to value of the skin itself voted mo-" along with First Div ision Representative Davis.
