Goes Into Committee Of Whole.
Speaker O'Connor called Represent
alive Rafney. Dawson. to the chair and
the house resolved itself into commit

S. b. 4 by Edwards was the first bill
considered. This measure requires
that an oath be taken by persons testi-
flying before legislative committees and

II. b. 1913 by Husscr, which provides
for making all funds deposited in the
state board of health a maintenance
fund available for use OF the state
board Of health. was the subject of

use Of the department according to it's
own discretion and that this was "vio-

assembly to make all departments OF
the state entirely dependent on the
appropriations from the legislature.
~'if there' happens TO be an inferior
man at the head of a department. such
authority would prove disastrous to
the funds of the stMe" said Repre-.
sentative Higgins. and his amendment
turning these moneys into the state
treasury carried.
