ing. The intention was to dispose of
k in short order but a few supporters
of the bill wanted to air their views
and two or three made short talks
against it. The bill was killed by a
vote of about 2 to 1. If there was

The senate child welfare committee
killed the sennte movie bill and re
ported the house bill for considera
tion. Senator Bcebc has a substi

pictures that may not be shown and
requires each exhibitor and distribu
tor to deposit 51,000 with the state
treasurer. If he is convicted of vio
lating the law he forfeits the money.
If not, he may get his money back
in thirty days after he sells out or
quits business but it must remain on
deposit ns long as he in business.
After spending almost an entire
day talking about the movie bill the
sennte finally decided to lay it over
until 2 o'clock Monday before taking
further nction. Tho committee report
ed out the house bill for discussion.
Senator Bcebc proposed amendments
which, practically, amounted to a new
bill. Tho substitute bill does not pro
vide for a board of censorship. It
specifies what pictures may not bo
shown and intends that it shall be en
forced tho same as other laws are
enforced. It also provides for a
81,000 deposit which will be forfeited
in case of violation of the law. The
big dispute was over tho adoption of
the substitute. J ho voto was a lie.
At the time this is written it is said
that two pr moro senators who voted
for the house bill are about to chango
their minds and that it will bo killed.
