largely from the California law. II
fact, the bill. az introduced in the
Twelfth session, was copied verbatim
from the California law. As a mem
Der Of the lower house OF that SEES
sion, the writer voted against the
passage OF the bill On the ground that
Idaho did not need such a drastic
utilities law at that time, and we
have never yet felt that we made a
mistake in voting as we did.
How the Bear Lake delegation In
the coming session of the legislature
will stand in regard to the repeal Of
the law, we do not know, but Senator
Shepherd, who was member of the
Twelfth session, voted against the
passage of the bill.
The stand Governor Alexander
will take in regard to the repeal of
the law will be watched with inter
est. When the bill was under con
sideration by the committee four
years ago, the governor, who was
then plain Nose Alexander, made an
earnest plea in favor of its passage.
Since becoming governor he has
more than once referred to 1t az the
public useless law" But probably
he made that statement because the
bill was passed by a Republican leg
islature.

than was formerly the case. The report
miners consumption is not in itself in
fictitious or contagious, it predisposes to
tuberculosis. The greater the amount of
rock dust injury the greater the liability
to tuberculosis; the far advanced cases
Of miners consumption practically all
become tubereulous before their death.
Under an entirely voluntary system
100 miners presented themselves for ply
steal examination, OF whom 433 were
found to have had their lungs injured by
the inhalation of rock dust; of these l03
were also tuberculous, the amount of tu
bereulosis infection being greatest among
the advanced cases of the rock dust dis
ease.
Five years steady work with exposure
to flint dust is fairly certain to find the
miner in at least the first stages of min
ers' consumption. If the miner contin,
ues his work after being affected, death
usually results within 10 years from the
time that exposure to flint dust com.
menced Poor housing conditions were
found to be prevalent and TO add to the
liability of tuberculous infection. APP
parently tuberculosis is now occurring at
an earlier stage of miners consumption
lays emphasis on the necessity of pre-.
venting the spread of tuberculosis
through these cases, especially among
miners children. The fact that miners
is a forerunner of tuber-
culosis necessitates that IL be treated
with the same hygienie precautions as is
the latter disease.
The report concludes that aside from
the hygienic supervision of underground
working places, the education of the min
err against the spread of infection and
of miners children, especial.
y those of consumptive parents, are
matters of vital Importance.
