when Il deliberate and actual injury is
done to the reputation OF another.
His bill ii passed weuld be dead
letter. The freedom OF the press
is guaranteed by higher law, and the
people will brook no interference with
it in this enlightened age.
Bill 139 provides for the appoint
ment of a commission to locate n State
Agricultural College.
Rotche's motion to 50 amend the
bill as to provide for two institutions,
school OF science aud agricultural col
lege, was lost.
Grant moved TO so amend the bill
as to provide for the teaching of
sciences in reference to their applica-
ton to every walk of life, as well as to
agriculture. He believed in having a
school of mines as well as school OF
applied science, and place where the
students could be taught the best Use
OF tools, etc. The effect of his amend
ment was to deprive the school OF its
purely agricultural feature and to
make one great school of science. The
motion was lost, ayes II, noes 81
Grants motion to so amend the bill
as TO provide that mining and metal
lurgy should be made a department OF
instruction was carried.

mission from three to five persons.
The motion was lost.
The bill then passed.
The House then took up as Il special
order house bill 81, introduced by
Power regulating the practice OF medi-
cine and surgery in this State.
Evans said the committee which re-
ported the bill had seen fit in their
wisdom to entirely ignore the amend
ments proposed and referred to them,
providing for two separate boards of
examiners, one for the allopathic and
the other for the hom1pathists. One
very considerable school of medicine,
largely represented in Tacoma, was
left entirely out. This he objected to.
They were to be given two representa-
tives out OF nine. 1t was an invidious
distinction in favor of the allopaths.
Evans offered substitute providing
for separate boards of examiners. AZ
ter 4 short debate the motion was
lost.
A motion by Evans to amend by
striking out the provision that of the
members of the board of examiners
only two shall be homeopaths" was
adopted.
Grant moved to amend by providing
that the insertion in any newspaper or
periodical of any advertisement shall
not be regarded by such board as Il
cause for revoking any license.
DIR. Blair said there was no such in
tentlon. 1t was not attempted in
other States where a similar law is in
force.
DIR. Grandy spoke against the prac-
tice OF doctors advertising themselves
and spoke of lot of "quacks" who
went to Spokane Falls and other
places and carried out of the State
probably $4,000, beside doing n great
deal of positive injury to their patients.
A physician who could not succeeded
without advertising himself through
the newspapers ought to fail. He said
the American people liked to be hum
plugged and he proposed to let them.
DIR. Candy said the bill, without the
amendment, would not prevent physi-
clans from putting their cards in the
newspapers. Grants amendment was
lost; ayes %, noes 80.
Grants motion to exempt from ex-
animation those who served as sur
geons in the army was lost. Winn in
stanced a case where one of these
army surgeons had charged him 50 for
just looking at his sore foot. He
thought this man ought to be ex-
amined.
The bill was ordered read a third
time and engrossed.
