on account of probability of increased
appropriation necessary for the institu-
tions. That plan was objected to by DR..
Sweeney, who said that if the legisla-
ture is to do constructive legislation
it must lool; farther into the future than
two years; it must look 10 years ahead.
Representative Bean sympathized
with the subject matter but he thought
it was Improperly considered. He said
there was no definition of "fceblc
minded" and that it allowed too much
liberty to the county judge and that it
should be safeguarded from abuse.
Seymour Jones did not believe a child
of six years should be committed with
out the consent of the parents as there
was no danger of reproducing its kind
at that age. Regarding Bean 5 objection
that any one could swear out com
plant charging feeblemindedness, Bow
man said that such was the law at pres
emf.
Lewis then moved that the bill be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee for
correction and amendment and the mo-
tion carried.
