T.-B. HOSPITAL PLAN
GOES TO DISCARD
SENATE PASSES BILL ABOLISHING
COMMISSION-$25 900 WOULD
REVERT TO GENERAL FUND.

Boise-Senate bill 8, abolishing the
state tuberculosis hospital commission.
passed the upper house by a vote OF
23 to 18 Wednesday,. The discussion
over the measure was the first real
controversy in the upper house 1t
the present session and consumed
nearly all of the morning session.
The measure came up on the order
of motions and resolutions when Sem
ator Solon B. Clark, of Custer county,
moved that the bill be referred to
the committee on public health. Dis
cussion was started on this motion
but gradually developed into a debate
as to the merits of the measure it
self. A division of the Clark motion
showed % against it and Is in favor
and roll on the passage of the bill
was % for and Is against.
The bill provides for reimbursing
the cities of Standpoint and Payette
for sanitarium sites and placing the
tuberculosis fund of approximately
$250,0O0 back in the general fund
The judiciary committee introduced
three new bills in the senate, Nos.
118, 119, and 120. The first provides
that no foreign corporation can act
as executor or administrator of an
estate In this state or as a guardian
for a minor or insane person In Ida
no. No. 119 fixes a fine of not to
exceed $500 and sentence in the coun-
ty Jail not to exceed six months for
violation of the rules of the road No.
120 provides that vice presidents and
assistant secretaries can validate ack-
noWledgments.
Tighten Work of Assessors.
l. wi
of it's merit, the house passed Wednes-
day by a vote of 81 to % house bill
No. "a, freeing county assessors from
the duty of collecting farm data for
statistical use.
Representatives Katerndahl and
Gillis declared the statistics as now
gathered were unreliable and there
fore valueless. Taylor, of Kootenai,
read few typical letters from inter-
ests outside the state to state officials
to prove that the information thus
secured was valuable and eagerly
sought Williams, of Minidoka, said
the work was a duplication on irriga-
tion projects, as the same informa-
tion had to be collected for the gov
ernment reclamation service. VIII
liams, of Oneida, said it was unwise
to do away with the only source OF
statistical data for state purposes,
even though now defective. Sonner,
of Canyon, said: "You can't get re-
liable information about their farms
from disgusted set of farmers, and
that is what they are now" The
vote was divided as the spoken
opinions, but the bill carried 81 to
2S
Senate bill IL, providing funds to

mum, passed by unanimous vote.
