special order the ehiropraetic bin, H. Is,
and spent a half hour in discussion, which
was interrupted by the joint assembly.
At the opening of the discussion Senator
Amey moved to amend the house bill by,
striking out section and substituting
section providing that persons now prac- |

lowing the presentation of diploma |
from a duly recognized school of ehiro-
practie.
Senator Amey spoke at length in favor
of this amendment and urged fair play
for the chiropractors now practicing in
the state. Senator Mckillip opposed the |
amendment. Senator Steele insisted that |
certain members had ''put over a subtle |
trick in the house when the bill was |
amended to read requiring" instead of |
having" referring to the requirement
of diploma from a school requiring" |
three year course in ehiroprattic for
those now practicing in the state. Sena-
tor Steele explained that there is no such
school of chiropractic and that the bill
as it now stands would therefore bar
al chiropractors from praetieing in the
state.

telling OF the good work that a chiroprac-
tor had done i'll his family within the
