The hill was ex plained in detail. Many of its provi- sions are temporary to meet exigen- cies which may arise. Much of the administration will be in the military emergency board because the adju- tant general’s office will be very busy for fully tow yvears during the read- justment period. The bill, Brooks said, was drawn in anticipa- tion of conditions which wmight arise and by making provision the state miglit be saved a great deal until it is known how the military forces of the state and nation will be constituted ! by federal law. After a number of inquiries had been answered the bill was adopted. An amendment will make the law effective upon passage.

This would have eliminated | the prohibition party, but an amend- ment s adopted making the per- centage one-half of one per cent. instead of ten.
