DENTIST BILL PASSES HOUSE AFTER BATTLE

PPHOENlX. Eco. 21.-House bills had their innings today in both the
 branches of the legislature. In"
 house itself passed eight of its own
 bills and one of its memorials. while
 the senate took favorable action on
 seven ieces of legislation from the
 house.
 The dentistry bill finally went thr'i
 the house, but not till another stiff
 fight had teen made against il, the
 third since it has pu: in an appear aace. Dr Lacy objected to the state ment in the house that a dentists trust existed in Arizona. He read 9 protest from a number of established
 dentists stating that if the bill be- comes law sthe board must lice $. men from other states withou, exam
 ination. thereby throwing the state open to all the rin-raff ol the protes. sion"
 Little, the bills author, Lines and Vyne led the battle for the measure. Little said the dentists had been 'lob bying' promising 10 improve condi tion. but that would no; prevent the bills passage.
