Speech #520048946

I do not think the amendment as proposed by the Senator from Connecticut would operate as a repeal of what is known as the Scott law. The Scott law. as I understand it. is an independent act. although it says something in the title about being supplementary. At the same time I do not think the Scott exclusion act expires with the acts of 1882 and 1884. I think they might expire and the Scott exclusion act would remain and continue on. There may be a question. however. in that view of the case as to whether the amendment proposed by the committee would not operate as 4 limitation upon the existence of the Scott act. making what is a perpetual act as it stands now an act that would only be vital for ten years. But taking it altogether.
