Fight ON CHIROPRACTIC LICENSE
BILL COMING UP TOMORROW night

Or. r. C. Mighton, one of the local
chiropTaetors. said today that he has
heard the physicians are willing TO ac-
cept n compromise by which there
shall be established a composite ex.
aiming beard lie said such board
would probably be made UP of three
physicians, one csteopath and one
Chiropractor. ..
Such compromise is totally un.
fair 10 the chiropractors and we can
net accept IT," he said. We have tried
such boards in the states and they al
ways work out as an injustice to the
smaller representation-the ehiroprac.
tors. What We want Is board COM
petent TO pass on chiropractic and
that means one made up Of chiroprac-
tors. -. s
MANY states authorize the Issuance
OF licenses To chiropractors and Ha-
wall should do the same Our work
speaks for itself We do not admins
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 ehiroprac-
tors here, he said, as there are only
about five of them. He expects that
he and Dr. w. C. Weirick will present
the case for the chiropractors.

other is to the effect that all federal
