THE GAGE SCANDAL.

Following is a fun copy of the now
notorious letter sent by Vice President

LAW AND PUBLIC HEALTH.

The lntermiuabie discussion concern
ing vaccination and kindred subjects
seems to have somewhat baclouCad the
public mind with reference to the main
questions before the people. which re-
late to the power Of boards Of health
10 impose certain rules and the duty
of the public to observe all lawful reg
ulauons. Some confused ideas OF the
authority conferred by law upon health
boards are also apparent
The state board of health, created by
law, has general supervision OF all
matters pertaining to quarantine" and
coordinate powers as a board of
health with every local board" and
fun authority to make such rules and
regulations, not contrary to law. as
may be deemed necessary for the pre-
servation of public health"
This definition of the powers and du-
ties Of the state board of health is
found in section 1898 Of the revised stat
utes OF Utah.
Every local board of health, wheth-
er county or municipal. shall supervise
all matters pertaining to the sanitary
condition Gf its county, town or city"
-B. S. T.. section 110I
TT shaIl BE the duty Of the board of
trustees of every incorporated town
and of the city council of every incor-
poratad' city, and of the board of coun-
ty commissioners of each county in the
state. to establish by ordinance such
sanitary rules and regulations as may
be necessary to promote the general
health. and to prevent the outbreak or
spread Of infectious OF contagious dis
eases, and to provide penalties for the
infraction of any such ordinances. ''-R.
5. T., section ll09.
Who shall say whether certain rules
and regulations are necessary to pre-
vent the spread of contagious or infec-
tious diseases-laymen or physicians
or good repute and general practice?
Under this provision Of the state law
the salt Lake City council adopted an
ordnance which is sdH in effect, and
reads as follows;
"The board Of health shall exercise
general supervision over the health OF
,the city, effect all measures necessary
70 promote the health and cleanliness
thereof It shall use all due measures
to prevent the Introduction or spread
within the city. or Wi.hin five miles
thereof Of any malignant. contagious
or infectious diseases. and remove or
quarantine or otherwise dispose OF any
person or persons. clothing or effects
attacked with or having been exposes
20 such diseases, and shall adopt such
rules and regulations necessary to pre-
vent the Introduction or spread of ma
lignant, contagious or infectious dis
eases within the city or within Eve
miles thereof"
What greater authority could the
board of health ask than is vested in it
by the l2W2
The rules adopted by the state and
local health boards have all the force of
state laws and local ordinances. and can
be enforced in the same manner. The
main question is not as to the merits
or dement's of vaccination. but whs-h-
en- the health boards have legal au-
thol1ty to adopt such regulations and
whether it is the duty Of citizens TO
obey tha law.
