Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1901-02-28

tion that the bill had been stabbed with
points Of order since its. report from
committee.
On the roll cali on the question of
sending the bill to the committee of the
whole there, were 20 ayes and II nays
and the bill was so disposed of.
THE MEDICAL BILL.
The medical association BILL senate
l3l, was reported back from the public
health committee with an amendment
that the provisions of the bill were not
to be construed as repeating the oste-
opathy law.
Mr.. Noble inquired as to the provisions
of the bill-whether it now permitted
the practice of Christian science and
magnetic healing.
Mr.. Taylor said it did not conflict with
osteopathy-as to Christian science it
was generally understood that no law
could be passed governing matter of
religion.
Mr.. Noble wanted an amendment that
nothing in the bill conflict with oste
opathy, Christian science or magnetic
healing.
Mr.. LaMoure said he didn't have much
use for the bill anyway. 1t professed to
raise the standard of healing and to pro-
tect people from impostors. He couldn't
see any provision in the bill that would
bring about that result. Why not adopt
a rule that all healers should be governed
by, examine all who practice before a
general board that the people have con-
fidence in and let it be known what was
the result. This bill was gotten up to
root out a few branches of healing by
which some people made living. He
raised point of order and the consider
alton of the bill went over until today.
THE WOLF BOUNTY.
When senate bill 78, Simpsons bill
providing for the levy of tax for wolf
bounty came up, there was more oratory
Mr.. Simpson moved to amend the bill
by providing for tax Of two-tenths of a
mill instead of three -tenths. Mr.. Murphy
moved as substitute that the bill be
indefinitely postponed, as, it imposed a
heavy tax on his county and it received
no benefit, and as there was bill in the
house to provide for the payment of the
wolf bounty certificates now outstanding
and then to repeal the law. He thought
that was the right idea.
Mr.. Simpson thought this an extreme
ly narrow-minded view to take of the
matter. The senator for Grand Forks
(Murphy) had not been backward about
voting appropriations for his own county.
If no legislator voted for appropriations
except those that benefited his own To-
cality legislation would be farce. The
matter of the protection of the stock in
dustry was of first Importance. Stark
and sixteen other counties were inter-
ested, and this matter was one that was
of benefit to the whole people.
Mr.. Murphy said he was willing to
vote for anything that would help Stark
county IL it didn't cost Grand Forks
county anything.
Mr.. LaMoure said that while his name
was signed to the report Of the commit
tee fayoring this bill, there had been a
respectable minority of the committee
against the bill. He couldn't vote for it..
He could not Justify to the people whom
he was attempting to represent his ac-
ton in voting upon them a tax from
which they got no benefit.
Murphys motion to indefinitely post
pone was lost The amendment reduc-
ing the levy to two-tenths of mill was
carried.
Mr.. Wolbert thought the bill was VIC
ious legislation. Cass county was paying
at the rate of Sl0O each for the wolves
killed there. He didn't object to paying
the debt already contracted, although
he believed the law had been a mistake
in the first place, 49,, -
Mr.. Simpson made another earnest ap.
peal for the passage of the bill. Only
one of the seventeen counties interested
in this measure was asking the legisla-
ture for any appropriations. Counties
could not cope with this matter alone
they, must have the aid of the state. The
destruction wrought u BY wolves was
great. It was rnerely>a question as to
whether the legislative assembly would
assist in the protection of one Of the
greatest industries in'the state.
On the final passage of the bill Mr.
Lewis explained his vote. 1t, was true
that the bill was for the benefit Of the
| western part Of the state, but when he
considered the location Of the state in
stitutions he saw that for the most part
they were in3the eastern part Of the state
and while it tmight be stated that they
were for the general good, still some ad
/ vantage was derived from them by the
localities in which they were located
In recent years he understood that resi-
