The 'one buck" bill. introduced by
Assemblyman Kleinsteiber Of Ashland,
taken by a hunter during the deer
season to one buck, as matter OF
conserving the supply OF these ami
mails, passed the assembly. Other
bills passed were: Schroeder. allow
ing persons afflicted with tuberculosis
in the incipient stage to be received
for treatment in county tuberculosis
sanatoriums; Donnelly, allowing tenn
porary clerkships in the city treas
urer's and the city clerks offices to
be filed without civil service examine
tions.
The present law requiring strict
clinical tests as a preliminary to the
granting of a marriage license, and
popularity known as the eugenics mar
rage law, promises 40 remain on the
statute books. The lower house, at
least, has so indicated by advancing
the Morgan bill amending the law.
The purpose of the change proposed
is to eliminate the rigid scientific
test, such as the Wasserman test,
and to require only thorough physi-
cal examination and a microscopical
examination to discover presence of
certain disease symptoms. This favor
able action came only after an hours
hot debate. in which the fight CEN
tered on Assemblyman Carl Hansens
amendment to include women as well
as men in the laws province. and also
persons afflicted with tuberculosis.
The assembly rejected the Grell
amendment to exempt women, and
finally defeated the Hansen amend
ment after which a viva voce vote
determined the result in favor of the
existing law as amended by Mr.. Nor
gan.
