MS cut could cure all discasos The man
VINO wanted the bill to pass had said lie did
mot believe In the germ theory. He thought
~ would be dangerous to public welfare TO
pass TINS bill. Iic would refuse 10 help tho
! STATE to put public endorsement upon this
profession. He received a good deal OF ap-
plauso
Mr. Page said that the day before he had
seen the House abolish the most picturesque
profession In observation-disclosures telling. 1t
Hould put the gypies out OF business. Yet
now the House was being asked to establish
new cult There are many people, he said,
VINO want to be doludod into believing that

speaking again, Mr.. Jennings called at
.ention TO the fact that the bill had passed
INC senate and been approved BY the House
committee on General Laws Like the blind
man IN the Bible, people might beshelped
by this profession who could not explain
why or how, but knew II had been done,
Possibly the chiropractltonets would not
want to 90 before adverse board.
On question OF personal privilege. DR..
Stephenson said the state Medical Board,
OF which he Is member, 10 not an adverse
board, but Is fair to all. Mr.. jennings
SAID he had not meant to reflect on II.
III the state wants to license humbug-
gerry" said Mr.. Clement, then we should
pass this bill" He had heard the argument
before the committee and was of the opin-
Ion that any member OF the House was bet
ter qualified to practice medicine than those
who had asked that this BILL be passed
The vote was put on the motion to dis
miss. Firty-ninc votes were counted in

State Dcpcsitaries Again.
The Finance Committees substitute for the
bill regulating state dcpositaries came up
next. II embraces the terms of the new
system proposed by Senator Lassiter and
as already printed. State bonds are to be
deposited as security for state deposits. In
stead OF making the banks give trust com
pany bonds at present. Any bank may
thus become depositary.
Mr.. Bowman, OF Roanoke, said that this
would put all the banks on the same foot

That 1t did not put all the banks on the
same footing was the argument of Mr.. WILL

would thus restrict the deposits 10 large
cities.

committee to propose substitutes and present
them after the time limit for introducing
new bills. 1t was pointed out 10 Judge VIII

to tho banks, which have gone to the ex-
pense OF giving bond
Mr.. pitts approved tho bill. II would rem
der all deposits safe and would make the
States bonds worth more. they would
be in greater demand. The trouble with
the present system Is that tine question OF
new deposltartes comes up every session.
and the money is being scattered all over
the state to the Inconvenience of the treas
urer. Small banks could borrow bonds, as Is
constantly done by national banks with
United States bonds.
Mr. Rev said the bill looks like class
legislation. allowing the big FISH TO swallow
1.-THE little ones. He characterized II as un-
fair and un-Democratlc
Mr.. Yarrel got the floor, but yielded for
motion TO adjourn, which was agreed to
