Up to Dec. 1. 1919. the total revenue
for the preceding IL months period
ceipts of the fish and game bureau for

mulated policies in relation to Its 1920

vide for enlarged hatchery facilities,
will put additional men in the field
where needed and has been concerned

BUREAU OF LICENSE
Formerly the administration of the
10 different professions, accountancy.
architecture, chiropractic, civil engi-
neering, dentistry, embalmng, medi-
cine and surgery, optometry, osteopa-
thy, pharmacy, nursing, surveying and
veterinarian surgery, was in the hands
of 10 different professional boards, con-
sisting of SO heads. Under the new
consolidation act these boards have
been abolished and consolidated under
one head. the bureau of license. in the
department OF law enforcement. I'm
der the law this department is required
to call in committees from the differ
ent professions at stated intervals to
decide upon the rules and regulations
affecting each profession. as was done
under the old order of things.
The purpose of the department is to
select on these committees the leading
men and women in their particular
profession, and to conduct the exam
nations so as to best conserve the high
standards of the professions. The rules
and regulations are drawn up by the
committees selected and the duty of
this department Is simply to enforce the
I law.
CLEAR UP RECORDS
| In beginning the operations of this
| bureau the reports and data and rec
! ords which were given to the bureau
by the secretary of the old dental board
were very unsatisfactory. An inyes-
| tigation was started which extended
over a number of northwestern states
and took considerable time. AS re-
suit of these Investigations formal
charges of bribery were filed against
DR.. w. A. Myers, secretary of the old
| dental board, in connection with the
granting of licenses, and a charge OF
conspiracy to brihe and defraud was
| filed against DIR. Myers and V. A. Fftz-
gerald of Portland. These men have
been bound over to the district court
| In connection with irregularity in
the records number of dentists who
carry licenses issued in the early part
| of 1919 will in due course be summon
| ed before the regular dental committee
to show cause why their licenses should
not be revoked.
AS result of the unified system OF
licensing the department has been able
to adopt standardized forms of applica-
lions and licenses and a uniform meth
cd of procedure in examination.
Approximately $500 men and women
have paid in renewal fees into this
bureau for 1919. BY this requirement
of renewal fee payable annually an
accurate list of men and women IL
censes Is always available. One of the
difficulties Of this bureau has been tt
get this renewal system upon a fixed
basis.
RECORDS SHOW 10000
While there are probably about 250(
practicing these professions in Idaho
yet the old records indicate something
like 10000. Many have moved away
some have died, and others have shift

other The new plan, however, give.
