ment. ,,..... ...-.-.
Mr.. Wolbert said the bill would make
banks pay their fair share of taxes-it
had nothing to do with the matter of
deposits 81 s,.& III -.
+ There was roll call on the final pass
age Of the bill and it was lost, 12 votes

= ~1S:s 49, THE MEDICAL BILL.
The ever recurrent medical association
bill came up again. This time it was
reported from the committee on public
health with portion of the definition
on which the christian scientists and
other patent healers kicked stricken out.
The definition of medical practice is
confined to representation of oneself as
a physician, or the use of I'M. D." or
I'M. B." cutting out that part which
makes any person treating disease for
fee, or assuming the treatment of cases,
as engaged in medical practice. DR..
Taylor moved the adoption of the re-
port, but on the request of Senator La
Moure, who didn't want to vote hastily,
and feel bound to vote for the bill if the
report were adopted, the bill went over,
and Senator Taylor asked to have it go
back to committee again, to which it
place it went.
LITTLE JOKE.
The appropriation committee played
little joke. They reported back the bill
fixing the salaries of state officers and
deputies and providing that state officers
shall have official residence at the capital,
with all of the bill stricken out but that
portion relating to living at the capital.
Thea mended bill provided that all state
officers must live at the capital under
penalty of getting no salary and reported
to pass. Senator LaMoure said that the
committee had reported judicial meas
ure believing that the people of the state
when they came to the seat of govern
ment to do business with state officers
wanted to find them there.
A recommendation of SIT 500 was made
by the ropriation~committee for the
maintenance Of the deaf and dumb school
for the balance Of the current year.
THE woI F BOUNTY BILL.
The wolf bounty bill levying tax of
three-tenths of a MILL came up on third
reading. Mr.. Simpson asked that the
consideration of the bill be deferred
until today. Mr.. Wolbert wanted the
bill sent back to the appropriations
committee. Mr.. Simpson kicked vigor-
ously on this, He said the committee
had discussed the matter thoroughly,
nothing was to be gained by referring it
back, and that it was merely an effort to
sidetrack the bill and he couldn't allow
that to be done without vigorous OBJ
lection. The bill was put on the calendar
for today.
PETITIONS.
Mr.. Murphy put in batch of petitions
against the medical bill in it's present
form. The allegation in the petitions
was that this bill was an effort to freeze
out all of the branches of healing except
medicine. The cigarette petitioners are
still active, and are praying for the
passage of the dead bill.
