Mr. Nicholson stated that his bill as originally drawn contained some things that he had not anticipated would pass the legislature, butthat they were put there with the expectation of a com promise. The bill, he thought, bad fared as well as do the majority of measures that go through the legi* latino. The most important features lof Ilie bill, he said, Inui been retained. I Mr Nicholson seemed quite confident that the new law would be sustained and he had no fear ns to the ultimate result of test cases to deter* mine its constitutionality.
