HOWELL BILL IS

When Senator lUwtll's bill re

providing instead that the degree of
all containers, it was assailed uy
Senator Orion yesterday ho de
clared it the most ptrnicioua bill
yet i-ntroduced in the legislature. Af
ter a long argument the bill went
back to committee.
"It ha brought more lobbyist to
the legislature than any other meas
ure.'' said Orton. "Talk about the
paving lobby It isn't in with this
one. The bill asks us to go back
on a solemn agreement entered into
with the Washington legislature. It
would open thebars to a . flood of
poor gasoline, utleily removing aty
reauirements." ! J
Senator Moer defended'-the bill
and said no complaint had been made
to the judiciary committee.
"The sooner Senator Orton forgets
about the paving lobby the better it
will be all around," said Moser. "He
changed positions three or four
times on the paving bills. , Asfor the
solemn agreement with Washington,
that was made by a committee of
three from this legislature-r-inclod-ing
one senator, and we are not
bound by one member of the sen
ate." Senator Ritner combatted the bill.
"As for lobbying,'' said Ritner. "this
talk is all rot. Any 'business con
cern, whether it be the Standard Oii
company or the arren Construc
tion company, or any other company,
has a light to come here and urge
or fight legislation in which they, are
interested."
Senator Bell attempted to have the I
bill tabled, but failed. Senator Bank
opposed the bill, declaring it Jn the
interest of big business concerns, and
contrary to the public interest. The
measure also had the opposition ol
Senator Farrell.
Senator Howell defended his bill
with Ibe assertion that the law is
now being violated because of the
impossibility of meeting the require
ment. ;
"Buyers now do not know what
thev are getting." he said. "I be
lieve thev should have protection by
knowing what thev are getting."
Senator Patterson wanted to know
if there is any danger of getting the
specific so low "that we will all hum
distillate infitead and the state lose
the tax of a cent a gallon on gaso
line."
"I am going to oppose the bill."
Senator Pierce informed the senat.
See what the notice will be to the
Washington legislature if we pas
this bill,"
Dimtck moved that the bill be re-
refefred and this carried, the bill zo-
