the privilege of using drugs. they are
asking us to give them the privilege

think it is no more than right that
they should pass the same examina-

he can receive his diploma.

lcnce of this Senate at this time on
this bill
This bill has had it's hearing before
! the judiciary committee, and it took
some little time. The regular doctors
of the state of Maine and the ostco-
paths. had a gala day. They were
given all the time that they needed. all
of the time that they desired to con-
sumo. tho same as the regular doctors
and the chiropractors Yesterday.
1t has come about. as | understand
it, at the last few sessions of this
Legislature. for the doctors of these

have no intcro st in it, ono way or the
other. but here is 4 unanimous report
and | must say that the doctors argu-
mcnt against this bill was rather to,hl,
at the time Of the hearing. They left
the room IS if th0H were fighting a
forlurn hCpc. and did not have a hope
of stopping this bill; and now at this
time, l do net believe it is right to ash
to have the bill indefinitely postponed
do not believe it is right to proceed
in that way. I think, if they have
any argument. that il should be pre-
scented at the trial Of the cause before
the committee. where the committee
may listen to tho merits and dement's
of the proposition. Now at that time
| am frank to say. and / think | cal
say it without fcGr OF contradiction
tier" WAS very little argument against
this bill and here is 4 unanimous re
port of this committee. | hope thai
the motion Of the gentleman for in

move that this bill be indefinitely post
poncd.
Mr.. HINCKLEY of Cumbcrland Mr.
President | wish to call the attention
of the senator's. who possibly arc no
familiar with this bill, to just VIVA
it is.
Tho State CT Maine through it:
&c gisiaturo provided for q board Of OK
anincrs for the csteupsths of Thu
State. This provides that the word
, beard of osteopathic examination ant
registration be inserted in the follow
ing section, and l will read the section
Sect. %. The members of the boart
OF dental examiners, board of oStco
pathic examination and registration
: commissioners of pharmacy. Neterinar,
Examiners. board of accountancy. libra
~ con!;3i*Sion. and the examiners o
applicants for admission to the ba
shall each receive as compensation 70
their services five dollars a day, 70
the time actually spent and their nee
cssary expenses incurred in the dis
charge OF their duties, to be certified
by the secretaries of their respectiv,
boards
At the present time. under the law
the board OF examiners of pharmacy
veterinary examiners, board of &C
countancy. library commission bar ex
amincrs. all receive compensation @
s. day. and this is paid by the appli
cants themselves for the privilege O
practicing their profession in the State
Now I cannot conceive that the Sen
ate Of the State Of Maine will indefn
itcly postpone bill allowing compen
sation to this board of examiners to b.
paid by their own applicants in accord
ance with that granted to every othe
board. and + certainly hope that thi
senate viii! realize it's responsible,
and it's fairness in this matter and viii
vote against indefinitely postponement
