Wednesday afternoon the gal
leries were crowded with school
children, farm bureau members
from several counties, a host OF
insurance agents and several
automobile statesmen. The last
two groups were interested in
amended House Bill No. 274. The

opening of the session requested
that no applause or demonstra-
ton be made on this very con-
troVersial bill. However, it al
most impossible to eliminate all
applause. The bill passed the
House with a good margin. Un-

be permitted to sell insurance.
