DIFFER OVER THE
EYE DOCTOR Law
Attorney General Lucey Declares OPP
tometrists Have Not Complied
With the Measure
REGISTRATION TIME TROUBLES
State Official Says II Has Passed and
County Prosecutor Takes
Opposite View.

States Attorney Floyd f. Thompson
and Attorney General P. j. Lucey are
at loggerheads over the new state law
recurring registration of optometrists.
In a communication received this
week from Mr. Lucey's Office, the
states attorney is informed that none
of the optometrists OF Rock Island
county has complied with the law. He
fatty declares that every one of them
is liable TO punishment under the act.
On this proposition the states at
torney takes issue with the attorney
general and he goes further and ad-
vises Rock Island county optometrists
that they will be within the law if they
register before April l. He has writ
ten TO Mr.. LuCey disputing the attor-
ney generals Interpretation and point
ing out what he claims is the flaw in
the state officials opinion.
The optometrists' registration law
ties that it shall go into effect July
/. 1915. Ii provides that optometrlsts
now practicing who have been in bust
ness three years may register within
three months after an appointment Of
state board without the Formally of
an examination and upon payment
of fee of So 1t specifies that those
who do not come under the provision
shall take an examination and pay a
fee Of $40 and there are penalties for
practicing without registration. Since
. Jan. l eight Rock Island county OPTIC
metrists have registered and there are
several others affected.
Calls Interpretation Unreasonable.
The law provides that the governor
shall on or before Jan. l. 1916. ap-
point the state board. AS matter of
fact he made the appointment some
time last year, but Mr. Thompson con-
tends that the law was not in effect I'M
Ill the board was formally organized,
and that this could not be accomplish
ed until its secretary filed his bond,
which was this month.
Mr.. Thompson says it is not reason
able that the law should require OPTIC
metrists to register with a board not
formally constituted.
