He pointed to the returning sol- | dier as being handed with one! hand “a loan $4,000 to start small business with the other hand “a pile of reports to fill out.” ! A man, after three or four years| in the Army is already well sick | of “red tape,” he declared | Concession Made | Senator Walker conceded the “possible discrimination against the | three employees” who would not! be covered by this amendment, but declared that the businessman, who is the urce of prosperity, also| deserves protection.

Mayor of Wrangell Fred Hanford supported Shattuck with the de- claration, “A town should have the rights to determine who and how many should operate liquor dis- pensaries in the city.” Three proponents of the measure, Representatives McCutcheon, Taylor and Johnson called the amendment proposed by Shattuck “unconstitu- tional” and said “inherent police pewers” of communities permits them to limit the number of licenses me them out.
