He attacked especially the emergency clause on the bill, which he de clared was Invalid since the bill both provided for a tax and grant ed' an exemption from taxation to one class of carriers. Winslow replied that he did not care whether or not the measure was subjected to referendum, im plying that if the emergency clause should be stricken out by court test, the 90-day interlude before the bill became law would not be hurtful. He pleaded for prompt action by the house in or der to get some measure before the senate for its consideration.
