then the school had recommended water as a specific.
 MT. Webb believed that Dr Tuthill was laboring under a misapprehen- sion as 10 the purpose of the bill It would not, he said. prevent the leg islature from providing for the strict regulation of the practice of medi- cine: from providing for an exam ination which all applicants should take on equal terms
 At this point Mir Wood introduced an amendment providing that no phy- sician should advertise his method of healing or his; ability to heal Mir Colter offered an amendment after ward withdrawn. providing that every practitioner should have a scientific knowledge of physiology and anat- omy.
 A Trust or Not7
 NIT. Webb made the statement that there was discrimination now and he had knowledge that a doctors trust existed. Dr. Tuthill denied that there was a trust or that discrimination had been practiced. Dr. Moeur de- nied with some heat that there was a trust.
 MT. Cunningham said. 'I don't know whether there is a trust or not But why should we put this into the constitution? Why has this bill been so pressed? It begins to look to me as if it was in the interest of some person; as if there was an attempt to suppress a learned profession.
 Mir Webb said that perhaps he had hu ha da h.a statement that a doctors trust ex- isted but the present law furnished the opportunity for one and believed that there had been discrimination.
 Mir Morgan said that his interest in the bill lay in his desire for phy- sical culture to have fair show. He wanted a law under which that emil nent exponent of physical culture, McFadden, could locate in Arizona. He said that Mir. McFadden had done more good and had cured more people than any hundred doctors.
 Mir Cunniff said that there was nothing in the Oklahoma constitution half so wild as this proposition and if it were adopted a state of things would he brought about in Arizona which the gentlemen who were urg- ing the bill would regret to see. He described the advances that had been made in medical science; the dis coveries of Paste'lr and Koch and the lengthening of the average of human life by means of medical discoveries.
 Development of Diseases.
 Judge Wells said that he had in- tended to say no more on this ques- tion but he was moved to do so by the remarks of Dr. Tuthill and the statement of MT. Cunniff regarding the advance made in the practice of medicine On the other hand there had been a development of diseases both as to number and character. brought about by the treatment of diseases. Judge Wells said that he had not charged that there was a medical trust but he had said that the law of 1903 had created an ex- elusive combination. He added that if the proposed Dill were adopted it would not take away the power of the legislature to provide for exam. ination of physician.
 MT. Parsons asked Judge Wells if under the proposed measure the leg islature could provide for the exam ination of healers. Judge Wells re- piled that the examining board should be broad enough to examine all ap- plicants as to the methods they pro- posed to employ in healing.
 Mir Parsons then observed that the board would have to have as many members as there were schools or cults.
 A colloquy ensued between Mir. Morgan and Dr. 'ruthill. The former said that under the present law, If Christ were to come again, he would be prohibited from healing the af- flicted
 pr. Tuthill. having in mind the views of MT. Morgan with reference to revealed religion, remarked That ought not to interest the gentleman from Navajo"
 Mir Morgan-"If I had a disease and believed that Christ could cure me would be interested to consid- erable extent"
 Mir Ellnwood by means of an- notated constitutions of various states. showed that such a law as that to which the advocates of the bill ob- jected was not discrimatory. After some further discussion, MT. Coker at the psychological moment offered a motion to postpone indefinitely and it was done by a vote of 3S to 12-
 Mir. Webb who had voted against postponement. before the vote was announced. changed his vote. saying that experience had taught him that
