representative Lemke Gets in Be
lated Bill to Move the Capital
to Fargo: I"
SENATE.

The medical association bill, designed
to regulate the practice of medicine in
the state, was passed by the senate yes
terday, saddled with provisions exempt
ing osteopathists, Christian scientists
and magnetic healers from the provisions
of the law, and completely destroying
the force of bill as measure to regu-
late healing. So effectually did the
senate carve up the bill that it's author
and introducer. Senator Taylor, couldn't
bring himself TO vote for it on final
passage after the numerous amendments
had been adopted.
When the bill was up on final passage
Senator Noble moved the same amend
ment proposed and lost on the previous
day. stating that magnetic healers and
Christian scientists should not be af-
fected in their practice by the bill
Mr.. Taylor observed when this amend
ment was proposed that he didn't think
it went for enough in including various
healers. He said the senator from
Bottineau ought to include ward heelers
also. The amendment proposed to the
bill he said would seriously impair and
destroy it's effectiveness. The idea of
the bill was to discover whether the
people of the state through their repre-
sentatives believed those entrusted with
the care of the sick should know what
they we're treating and how or whether
they are still in accord with the methods
of the medicine men of the savages or
the stink pots of the Chinese.
Mr.. Ames said his age and unattract-
iveness had not subjected him to any of
the female aggressions with regard to
this bill but he favored the amend ment
of Senator Noble. He could remember
when allopathy and homeopathy, branch
es of medicine and healing now estab-
lished and recognized, were struggling
for recognition as some of the other
healing branches are now. He believed
an opportunity should be given the new
selves. If they were found unworthy
they could be shut out.
Mr.. LaMoure, with reference to the
statement that ward heelers should, ,be
included in the provisions of the bill,
said the legislature had already made
provision for them, as the descendants of
the crucifiers of Jesus Christ in Grand
Forks and other towns had been exempt
ed from taxation in the killing of the
peddlers' license bill. He would vote
for the amendment also.
The amendment was carried and the
bill was passed, with Taylor one of those
voting against it, Senator LaMoure
then clinched the bill in order, he stated,
that the; house might have whack at it.
