far been successfully combatted.
There is considerable speculation as
TO what place the lobbyists will have |
this session. Representative Edgar In |
trodueed a resolution calling for the |
rigid enforcement of the rule excluding
all but certain officials from the foor OF
the house, and the chances are that the
resolution, which Is now in the hands
of the committee on rules, Will be re-
ported favorably and adopted IL ls
clearly designed to give blow TO lop-
byists who have heretofore been per-
mitted to mingle freely with the rep
rsentatives while the house was In SEES
sion. Then, too. the suggestion mace
by Governor Pingree in his message
that lobbyists be licensed and restricted
in their operations, was warmly ap-
plauded. Taken together these facts
would seem to indicate that the lobby
lists will experience something or a
| frost this winter.
The agitation for better roads in Mich
igan resulted in the organization or
| state good roads association in TINS city
| q few months ago. Since its organiZa-
| ton very little has been heard from the
| association, but a meeting Will De heIu
here Friday for the purpose or agreeing
upon legislation which will tend 10 pro-
| mote the construction OF better roaus III
Michigan. No regular programme Tor
the session has been prepared, but Hon
William L. Weber of Saginaw, VINO
represented this state at the good roads
congress at Atlanta last year, Will pre-
side. Mr.. Weber has devoted much
time and thought to this question which
he believes of paramount importance.
Two wears ago the doctors of the
state secured the passage of just SUCH
medical registration bill as they thought
they desired. but when it reached the
governor after the legislature ad-
iourned and toolat to have 1t amended,
It was discovered that it contained IA
tai defects and Governor Rich was OBJ
liged to defeat it, The doctors propose
to be early in the field this year, and
have already drafted bill which Is the
same as that of two years ago In the
main. but from which all of the obJec'
tionable and unconstitutional features
of the old bill have been eliminated
The new measure provides for the ap
pointment by the governor or poarc
! of registration to consist OF nine mem
bers representing the different school'
of medicine. With this board all doc
tors will be required to register DOC
} tors already in practice will be permit
ted to simply register with the poar'
/ unon pavment of a fee of 81. Certif
T Gates of registration in another stat
J will be accepted here, and new doctor
: will be permitted to practice upon elth
I err passing an examination before TN
board. or filing a diploma issued by
t recognized medical college having a
l least four years course.
\ About the only point which yet re
e mains to be decided is the number o
0 representatives each OF the seVera
e schools of medicine is to have on TN
u board The supreme court has alreao
4 decided that it would be unconstitution
i. al to provide that so many shall De
( one school, so many or announcer e'c
g and the committee in charge or the pre-
e paration OF the bill are not little pu2
C zled how TO get around this fact an
i still fix things so that it will be impos
6 sible for any one school to manlpuia'
n matters that 1t will secure majorit
u of the members of the board, and tht
lie he in shape to work affairs in its intel
e est It is constitutional to provide ths
;e no more than a certain number sha

e. vision would not confine the represents
