them provides for the election by the

of the legislature the disposal of all

ether Is to the effect that all federal

heard the physicians are willing TO ac-
cept a compromise by which there
shall be established a composite ex-

would probably be made up Of three

ohiropractor.
Such a compromise Is totally un.
fair 10 the chiropractors and We can
not accept 1t" he said I'VE have tried
such boards in the states and they al
ways work out as an injustice TO the
smaller Fepres entation-the chiroprac.
tors What we want Is a board conf
petent TO pass on chiropractic and
that means one made up Of chiroprac-
tors. =
MANY states authorize the issuance
OF licenses to chiropractors and Ha-
wall should do the same. Our work
speaks for itself. We do not adminis-l
ter drugs or medicine or perform any
surgical operation. The record OF our
cases can be cited to the legislators to
show that we are entitled to hearing"
There is no association of chiroprac-

about five Of them. He expects that
he and DIR. w. c. Weirick will present
the case for the chiropractors.
