hounced that since sevcnty-two hours
had elapsed, not counting SUNDAY.
since the bin had been sent to the
governor, ana since it had not been
returned with his approval or disap-
pfoNal, 1t had therefore become law
by Limitation. 1t is believed that
there VIII be trouble in the senate to !
pass the bill over the governors We |
to, as Messrs Sul2er and Burns are !
SAID to be against the measure. but
the majority leaders hope that sev- !
eral OF the democrats can be induced
TO see the claim of the officials on

split in Majority.
Ihe house majority almost went on !
the rocks over II. b. 364. by Mr..
Fleming this afternoon, and ii was
saved only by being recommitted af-
ter a ffteen-minute recess during |
which hurried caucus was held The !
bill provides that every school teach |
er must have certificate Of health
from the county health officer. It
is openly charged that this measure !
is intended to deprive Superintendent !
Bishop, Of Gallup, OF his job.
Mr.. Blood denounced the bill as
one Of the worst introduced at this !
session and said that the introducer !
evidently did not know what he was
doing. He cited the instance of one
teacher who would have to pay more
than 500 in order to go to the county !
seat in order to have himself exam !
med, and whose salary has not av-
eraged more than $l75 a year. Mr. !
Blood said that if local physicians !
can not be trusted to be truthful in |
the certificates that they give a coun- /
ty health officer. appointed for polit- !
ieal reasons could no more be trusted /
Mr. Fleming replied that Gallup /
has twelve teachers, of whom five /
have tuberculosis. and drew har- /
rowing picture of the danger to which /
innocent children are exposed by con
tact with such teachers. lie said that I
local physicians give out certificates .
promiscuously out Of pure kindness =
OF heart 1T is the only measure / /
have asked for myself" said Mr..
Fleming, mot because | am a health
officer for Mckinley county. but be-
cause have the interests of innocent
children at heart"
Amendments Suggested.
Mr. Palmer offered to amend lhe
bill so that any licensed physician
may ssue a certificate. 81 have six
to eight children in school said Mr.
Palmer. land ] am not afraid that
my children will be contaminated by
teachers suffering from tuberculosis.
Mr.. Davies thought he could 'N
the bill by offering an amendment to
make it felony for any physician 20
issue a false certificate of health, and
said that every school teacher and
every other individual should have
the privilege of selecting his or her
cwn physician, and that it would place
a terrible power in the hands of the
county health officer to compe! every
school teacher, male or female, to so
before him for examination.
Mr.. ORTIZ moved that recess lie
taken This was voted down by
vote of % to p. Mr.. Tharp then
spoke against the bill, and to head Off
Mr. Smith a recess was finally taken.
