Bills Meet Opposition.
AS to whether or not the two ad-
ministration bills providing for a board
of public welfare and central board
of education will get through the sen.
ate is an open question. The agricul-
tural bill, 1t is believed, will be pass.
ed about as 1t stands at present.
On the board of public welfare bill
the state board of health has stirred
up an intense opposition in the medi
cal societies. Petitions and remon,
strances have been coming in from the
doctors, protesting against the state
board of health being included in the
bill Not all doctors are opposed to
the bill, but the activity shown in the
board of health Office, from which the
fight has been directed, has served to
create enough noise to cause the be,
| against the bill, which is far from the
case.
The members of the boards of re.
gents of the university and normal
schools are fighting the central board
of education bill bitterly in order to
maintain the present order, which is
responsible for the feeling shown out
through the state against the univer,
sity. While it is the university that
| is being most attacked as a matter
of fact the hardest fighting against
the governors bill comes from the nor.
NAL school regents, who are also the
better politicians.

| Whatever may happen in regard to
the board Of education bill, it is Ger.
tain that this year the university and
normal school appropriations will not
come in in a bunch
The university appropriation and
the normal appropriation will be sep
arated so that the Legislators will be
able to vote for one and against the
other if they choose.
