afternoon was consumed in the Sen- ate Tuesday discussing the deficiency bill for the state agricultural col 1 leges, amounting to about $122, GOO, iE a committee of the whole, and finally passing it. This sum represented the balance due on buildings, which were to be paid for by the towns where he institutions are located, and in several instances warrants were issued by the county courts to pay the deficit, but the Supreme Court held county funds could not be so expended. There vas a general discussion upon the subject the chief objection being that those who created the debts had violated the state law.
 Others bills passed were: By the State Charities committee, for parole of patients of the State Hospital for the Treatment of Nervous Diseases: By Reid, to permit the county judge of Lincoln county to appoint school directors; By Jones, to amend the salaries of White county officials; and the House Joint Resolution by Smith, of Bradley, referring all local measures to the people of the dis trict affected.

 Mr. Gray opposed the bill vigorously md declared that the doctors have thrust upon the people the most gi- gantic trust the State has ever known Only one physician in his county had asked him to support the bill, but its chief supporters are a coterie of self seeking, privilege-demanding physi- clans who want to monopolize the whole business of practicing medicine and drug dispensing, he said.

Health Bill Passed

Health Bill Passed
 s. B. No. 30 (Hughes), creating the State Board of Health. Mir. Grant moved to reconsider the vote Dy which the House had adopted an amendment providing that not more than three members of any one school of medicine shall be members of the board The motion prevailed, and the amendment was rejected by a stand ing vote of 46 to 26.
 MT. Josephs said he favored the bill even after the rejection of the amend ment. for Arkansas is far behind othel States in the conservation of public health While he proposed to sup port the bill, he warned all concern ed that no false step must be made by the school of medicine seeking tc control the board, else there will be an effort made two years hence 10 re peal it. The amendment, he asserted would have averted inevitable opposi- tion and complications in the future
 Mir. Huwson of Marion opposed the bill saying that he had offered an amendment in good faith that mem- bers of the board should attend the indigent sick at the expense of the county or State, but it was rejectcd He charged that there is doctors trust which makes it impossible for any one to secure the services of |" physician if he owes another "This bill. establishes a monopoly said he. "and I appeal to you in behalf of the sick men. women and children of the State to defeat this measure.
 To Regulate Sanitation.
 Mir. Dickinson spoke for the bill, de- claring that it is a measure designed to regulate sanitation and not the practice of medicine. He would vote for a bill if MT. Hudson would intro duce it, providing that yhen any one calls a physician he shall be forced to respond, and his services shall con- stitute an obligation against which no property shall be exempt. He de- tended the physicians against the al- legation of monopoly. He contended that the bill does not seek to control tn eboard, since there is not word in it making discrimination against any school.
 The first section of the bill, pre- scribing the qualifications of mem bers, is as follows:
 "Within thirty days after the pas sage of this act it shall be the duty of the governor to appoint a State Board of Health, consisting of seven persons. one of whom shall be chosen from each congressional district in this State In the event that the said congressional districts be increased or decreased, that the membership o' said board shall increase or decrease in accordance herewith. Each meni' her of the State Board of Health shal be a graduate of a legally constituted and reputable medical college and oi at least seven years experience in the practice of his profession in this state. and shall be of good professional standing
 Arkansas stands alone among the States of the Union as having no form of State health lay,'' said MT. Dickln- son. q have studied this bill care1ul- ly and can see nothing objection able in 1t. It creates no monopoly,
