| Ing to the testing of cattle for tuber-
| culosis was ordered to engrossment.
! This measure repeats the compulsory
| feature of the old law. The advance
| ment of the bill is a distinct victory
| Tor the farmers of the state, who
hooked to the capital early in the ses-
sion to protest against the old law.
During the debate on this measure
Speaker Ingram stated from the floor
| that he favored the amendment which
provided that the compulsory test
should still apply to cattle that are
offered for sale at public auctions,
but that he was opposed to that part
OF the amendment which would make
the state liable for half of the expense
OF the testing of these cattle. After
much argument the amendment was
rejected. Friends of reform along
this line anticipate that this action
may cause big rumpus in the senate
1t is feared that by permitting all
kinds of cattle to be sold at public
auctions and distributed all over the
state without being testing for tuber-
cnlosis will practically nullify the pur-
pose of aiding in the fight against
tuberculosis. University experts are
against the step taken in the lower
mouse, and the bill is expected to cause
tilt in the senate. 1t is likely that
the measure will be amended so that
cattle offered for sale at auctions will
have to be tested ABOUT dozen
amendments to the bill were offered,
but all of them were voted down. One
amendment provided that the testers
should furnish bond covering the
value of the cattle to be tested and
that the bond should be forfeited in
case any Of the cattle tested failed to
show signs OF tuberculosis This
amendment was aimed at the employ
ment of lot OF incompentent testers,
but was rejected,
