Osteopaths VS.. Allopaths.
The usual scrap seen in every leg
islature between the practitioners
of the regular medical school, and
the osteopaths, came up in the leg
islature Saturday over the bill which
entitled osteopaths to recognition as
a school Of healing. Senator Crane
defended the bill, and spoke Of ''the
arrogance Of the allopathic school of
physicians" and said that the chair
man Of the public health committee
favored the bill.
Senator Leutz moved the bill be
indefinitely postponed. He said that
he had studied the question and
heard the statements and read the
letters of physicians and he thought
that Section 8 Of the bill, which
would recognize osteopaths as on a
par with licensed physicians, was
dangerous and inimical to the public
health and to the welfare of the peo-
pie generally.
!, Senator Bessessen opposed the bill
in q long argument in which he said
that the putting of osteopaths on
the same basis as physicians Of the
old school would be in the highest
degree dangerous.
Senator Duis defended the bill and
said that osteopathy was a good
thing and we should have more Of it.
He thought the opposition to the
bill was not well founded.
Senator Simpson wanted to know
If the bill could not be amended to
give osteopaths proper recognition
and at the same time safeguard all
the public interests. The senate ad-
lourned without taking final action
on the measure,
