oRc AIMED ATTACK ON NEW
 DENTISTRY BILL FAILS Hous

PHOENIX, Feh. 1S.-An organized a:a,k on the new dentistry bill was launched in the committee of the who.e house late today. but the meas rre weathered the storm and was rec pmmended for passage. Its provi- sions. as described by its friends, "le; dcwn the bars" to permit more members Of ;he rrcfesison to prac- tee in Arizona.
 The measure, which was approvel in its original form, will admit to practice de2tis:s aho are able tc make 35 per cent showing on theory instead of 50 per cent as the law now reads, and 5 per cent on practice, or an average of e5 per cent on both. it also you'd issue permits to den;is; holding certificates to practice .n other states where the requirements
 re similar 10 those of Arizona.
 Amendments Fails
 Barrows made an attempt to amend ..e bill 10 require G per cent show ing cn theory instead of S5 per cent 4nd to wire ou; the average of 65 per cent, but this failed to carry. There is a dentists trust in this state" declared Lines. T know of one instance in which man. who had an estimate of from s7 10 sl- given him for work by a Los Angeles dentist. had the work done in this state and mad to pay s25 to $40. The dentists did no, show any disposition to ge; together with Us on this bill and now at this late hour opposition develops"
 Little, who fathered the measure added his support to the stand taker by Lines. If had brought in bil to meet the approval of the dentists he said "l would very gladly have 1: voted down
 More Dentists Needed . Mrs. Hayward asesrted that ther
 were not nearly enough dentists il Douglas, and that men who she be . lieved were fully qualified to practic had been rejected by the state der tai board. "Mo-eover.' said Mrs Hay ward, the dental charges in Arizon . now are exorbitant."
 Li!lywhite believed that there mus , be some reason for the cry, whici he said, was heard in every part ( f the state for more dentists. He col . cluded: , There is something wrong Wh iz there this sraa; shortage Q: de: :. tists in Arizona?'
 Opponents of the bill asserted

LAVISH APPROPRIATIONS.
burlington Hawkeye.l


There was no war when the demo-
cratic congress Of 1914 appropriated its
SIX hundred and eighty -four millions
nor was the United States in a war
when. in 1915, six hundred and
seventy-four million was appropriated
with six hundred and seventy eight
million the following year, aItho. in
fairness we must admit that a part OF
the huge appropriations OF 1915 and
1916 were due to reluctant prepared :
ness.

prlauons" when the other fellow is

the United States are our delegates,
Professor Heron and William Allen
White. Presumably they were to re-
ceive nothing but mileage--in itself
considerable item---for their services,
but they may have some claim to COM
pensatfon for the money they might
have earned during the period when
they were distracted from their ordin-
airy callings by the labor OF packing up
for Turkey and reading up on Russia.
However. this item will probably be in
significant: Professor Heron is pre-
sumably not engaged in gainful occu-
patton but living on an income; and

resort and nothing to resort to: but the

rasied wonderful hopes Of n rush on ac-

doubt they had bought all the available
cots in Constantinople, expecting to
line them up in the lobby: the billiard
tables had been busted of for use as
