This Will call ont the old discussion
as to local enforcement Of laws and
outside interference, whenever il
comes up. If the session refuses 10
enac it, it will no doubt be a part
of the minority republican platform in
the next campaign as the voters Of
the state nominated Mr.. Richards to
that position by their votes last year
under the provisions of the primary
law which they endorsed at his re.
quest, which nomination gives him
the right to make the platform of the
minority.
The senate eliminated the bill which
attempted to make the trespass laws
of the state more strict, as objections
were made to the feature which made
trespass claims collectable against
stock owners at any time after the

notice to keep off had been served.
The chiropractOrs are putting up a
fight along with the scientists against
the bill which attempts to require a
certain educational standard to allow
anyone to practice the healing art in
any form in this state. The chiro.
practors especially hold that the bill
is aimed at them and they are oppos-
ing it. 1t has been up in the senate
several times, but has been continued
from time to time and has been set
for final action the coming week.
One bill which is being held up in
the house is the unifrom bill on con
tracts which has been prepared by the
national association and presented in
many different states. The supporters
of the bill say that any change would
destroy its uniformity, but the farm
ers Of the house are a little shy Of
supporting a long bill with many pro-
visions without a chance to make a
change if they see fit.
