Senator Tucker of King al pitt and Senator Baker of Klickitat has introduced the “press gag” law What is the matter with the existing libel laws anyway, and why this unseemly haste?

Thus, with a clear understand ing of the law, one can be at the brazen effrontery of the leg |siators who have accomplished the virtual repeal of the existing law, and it seems almost incredible that any man would throw himself open to the charge implied in the existing conditions at Olympia by tacking an emergency clause to such a measure. The repeal bill conceived in corruption and born in infamy Is now practically up to Governor Mend for signature or veto. The important quéstion now fs, has this new chief executive of ours, whose first steps have been taken with such care and fore- thought, the moral courage to face an overwhelming majority in both houses of the legtsiature and by his veto undo the damnable chicanery of truth-fearing cowards ue to public or pri STAR.
