cerned the people and had nothing to to with legislation. Some democrats who opposed the proceeding declared that to go on with it would be to dig nify the attacks of the newspaper. motion to expunge all that had so fai Oeen done from the records finally car ried and it was observable that all the republican members voted against the expulsion of the paper from the demo- cratic party.
 There was considerable other ex- punging of the record. MT Galbraiths motion against the quadruple reading of the election code was eXpunged and also his protest that the record should show how the bill was read, so that there will be nothing in the journal ex- cept the record of the fact that the bill was read.
 Senate Passes Dental Bill
 The senate yesterday passed the dental bill. This bill removes the bars which have surrounded that pro- fession for some years, and admits to practive all who have certificates from other states, without examination; moreover. 1t relaxes the rigidity of examinations. It is predicted that a result of such a law. would be to fin up the state with incompetent dentists, men who years ago held certificates 1 In their own states, granted to them before there was strist legislative re ! quirements.
 Dentists point out that the only new | dentists who will be adversely affected | will be the young man fresh from | dental schools and who will be mucn | better qualified than the old-timc | practitioners who have been forceC | out of their own states by competition | with skillful dentists and who will nat | urally flock here.
 l A bill was introduced into the house | by Mr. Galbraith which turns out to | be a quite important measure. It amends criminal procedure in cases in volving the death penalty. That pro oedure was changed by the law of two years ago abolishing capital punish ! ment but the restoration of it by the | people last fall did not have the effect | of restoring the changed procedure in | murder cases.
 Several unimportant bills were passed in the house in the course of the day.
 Will Amend Education Bill It was expected that House Bill 1, would be taken up in the senate yes l terday morning. That is the consti- tutional amendment among othei things. making the office of state school superintendent appointive in stead of elective and changing the method of making up the state board of education. also increasing the pow CTS and jurisdiction of the board. Al effort to indefinitely postpone the bill had been made in the senate, bu failed by a tie vote. MT. Wilkinson then announced that he would offer ar amendment that would meet the objec' tions of the senators, providing tha f ratified by the people it should no become effective before January 1923. The amendment seems super fluOus. since the superintendent ol education who will be elected at thu same time the amendment is submit ted would hold his office anyhow un til that date. The amendment thouci would delay the operations of the nev board for a year. It is believed tha that will be satisfactory to the op position.
 The following bills were passed D. the senate:
