Mr.. WINTER: / desire 70 change my me.
ton, that the bill and amendment be printed
and made the special order for Tuesday at
10 O'Clock.
Mr.. sHIVELY: 1 sec)nd the motion.
The Senator from Wayne states there is no
requirement for qnalifc alton in this bill,
When man or q woman presents diploma
obtained from reputable medical College,
by attending that college ihFea fonr or five
years studying day and night. Il ought TO
be some evidence that the individual has
some qualification to practice medicine.
The bill provides that any person, male or
fema ale, who has practiced ten years, and has
attended one full purse of medical lectures,
may obtain license It appears to me, IN
der such requirement, there must be some
qualification. Those who have prac tic ID
medicine for ten years and laoored day and
night 10 qualify them selves, and having the
advantage OF one course of lectures in some
reputable medical college, | calculate they
ought TO have learned something and know
something about the practice OF medicine.
II may be in the county OF Wayne some OF
the profession are so ignorant that they
can't tell human bone from that of a beast,
but don't think that is the case with the
profession gel etlly throughout the State OF
l. diana. / think we have a very teliigent
profession throughout the State.
Mr.. THOMPSON: i have been very much
astonished since this session OF the Senate
commenced at the number Of letters from
physic ans, that both the Senators from Ma.
rioD County have received, protesting against
any law on this subject, but if any favoring
the Senate bill. We have some eight or ten
prominent physicians in this city protesting
against any Law. We are confused as to
what we ought to do in the premises.
The motion to postpone the further con.
sideration Of the bill and amendments and
make 1t a special order for Tuesday next, st
10 O'Clock, was agreed to.
SCHOOL FUND INTEREST.
Mr.. Huston's bill rs. 29-see page 1861
coming NJ Sc md reading
Mr.. HUS ON. No man would hesitate
longer before GdVo0Sting measure to lessen
tine receipts of the school fund than /. The
rate must be reduced eventually to 6 per
cent. We coming to it gradually, but
We had better proceed with sliding scale in
the way indicated by this bill. The cues
General Assembly 20 lessen the rate Of in
teTest TO 6 per cent. in counties where they
find IL impossible to loan this fund at per
cent or whether interest on the entire fund
shall be lessened 10 per cent That is the
question We have to meet. About s24O, coo
the use OF the school fund OF
the State. Now, IL % per cent.
of that fund is loaned at per cent, sub
NIT II II would not be bad policy to lessen
that rate OF interest at 6 per cent. on the
whole, eimIly 10 loan out the other 10 per
cent. that now remains urloaned. Reducing
the per cent. from 8 TO means Just $50, 900
lost TO the school fund every year. There
are counties in which, they say they could
loan three times as much as they have at
per cent. and there are other counties that
find it impossible to loan what they have.
| earnestly hope the relief TO which they are
entitled will be given by the passage of this
bill.
Mr.. WEIR: 1t seems 10 ne, ia counties
where there is no demand for this money
the County Commissioners, with the Auditor,
ought to be permitted to loan il at q rate
Dot less than per cent, and thus the clun.
ties would be compelled 10 MAKE up to the
State only the difference between what they
receive and the s per cent. In the county |
live you can borrow all the money you
want for per cent, aud IN the larger coun-
ties the rate is per cent. This bill affects
no other counties but those needing relief
andS 1t seems but Qst that they should
be allowed to loan money at the best rate
they can get aboYe per cent, and make up
the difference TO the State. 1t seems to me
hardly necessary to take up much time
merits should meet with such general in
dorsement upon the part OF Senators as to
cause its immed late passage.
Mr.. BROWN: I move to strike out the
word Eight" and insert in lieu the werd
seven" | regarded it as bad legislation
when the rate was changed from seven to
eight. When the rate was per cent. We
heard no complaint that the people who
needed this money was not taking it out OF
the Treasury. 1t is only since the rate was
placed at per cent-an exhorbtspt rate
when you take III ID consideration the ex.
pense necessary to obtain it-that COM
plant has been made. Reduce the rate all
over the State TO per cent. and it will
avoid all difficulty and complaint in the
future. 1t will only cut the rate one-eighth
hope the amendment will be adopted.
Mr.. MCINTOSH: hope the amendment
will net be adopted. 1t seems to me that to
cut down the interest on the fund belonging
to the school children Of the State is the
wrong place to begin. As regards the bill
itself, all have to say is the Committee on
County and Township business considered il
at two meetings, and the committee was
unanimous against the passage of the bill
The author of the bill insisted he would like
to have the bill returned with minority
report so he could have it considered in the
Senate, and one of the committee presented
q minority report TO accommodate him.
Mr.. FOWLER: think il would be bad
policy to reduce the rate of interest on
school moneys to per cent. because l feel
sure the money can be loaned in majority
of the counties at per cent. and where 1t
can 1t ought TO be loaned ut that. 1t is not
sn exhorbitant rate and there is no good
reason why il should be reduced to seven.
Mr.. OVERSrREEr: / am decidedly in
favor of the amendment As l understand
it the school money of the State is distribut.
ed TO the several counties 10 that the citizens
OF each and every county might have an
equal chance TO have the use OF the money.
/ think upon principle. even IL the money
can't be loaned IN some counties, the State
can't afford to say the citizens IN one county
