but that is ALL Indeed, in some of the

Booth, of Salt Lake, said that no
physician had had anything
to do with the scurrilous literature re-
ferred to by the gentleman from Cache
county. He hoped the amendment
would not prevail, as it struck out the
vital part of the bill. As well strike
out the enacting clause as pass this
Williams said he wished to refute the
charges which had been made against
the members of the medical board
While he knew little about the different
schools of medicine, he knew members
of the board as gentlemen and he knew
that the charges made against them
were untrue, as they we're inconsistent
with their characters. He had told a
who sat without the Council
bar now that his connection with the
"scurrilous literature" tended to create
prejudice against him. In one sense
the passage of medical law is class
legislation, but since a law exists, pro-
vision should be proper. Examinations
are necessary He was opposed to the

as the sentiment was that this could
safely be left to the courts.
Seaman moved to strike out the sec

ga, which was defeated by the House

TO TAX ESTATES.
c. B. ia, for an act to tax the es-
tates of deceased persons was read.
President Breeder called Booth OF
Salt Lake to the chair and took the
floor in support of the measure. He
said the bill contemplates helping the
territory in its present distressed con-
dition. It would work no hardship tc
anyone. 1t would be hailed with JOY
by taxpayers. 1t would help every
body and injure no one.
Taylor said similar bill was enact
ed in New York a few years. ago. To.
day the taxes are at least l per cent
act. An important feature is the fact
that much of the wealth bequeathei
to heirs is taken out of the territory
and the enactment of the law wouIc
save a part Of the fortune to the ter
ritory. He thought the measure pro
per just and equitable
Williams said The more he reflected
upon this bill the more he was opposed
TO 1t and hearing the advocacy of i

measure is agrarian in its essence i
is too soon to think of passing such
measure. When the time came for i

of $4,000 to be divided among tel
children A man leaves an estate O.
$1,000 or Sc, 900 and it is divided between
two children. In such cases is Their,
no injustice brought about by such
law? There are more children in tbi!
territory who will inherit So 1000 o.
$4,000 than more. The people of tn,
territory had been apprehensive Of evi

Lund moved TO amend by raisin,
$4,000 to $4,000 and 5000 to SEQ. 0Od
