HUFFMAN BILL
PASSAGE ST|RS
CH|ROPRACTORS
Lobby Strengthened to
Boost Vote on Non-Medi-
cal Board Measure.

Angered by the injunction with
out bond" feature of the Huffman
medical bill, passed by scant con-
stitutional majority in the Indiana
House of Representatives Tuesday,
a determined lobby is being organ
lied to work for the Harrison bill,
which would abolish the present
state medical board and supplant it
with a, strictly non-medical board.
Chiropractors, naturopaths, osteo'
paths, homeopathic and Christian
Scientists are said to have joined
hands to put over the bill introduced
by Representative William H. Har-
rison (Rep.) of Indianapolis.
Move to Conciliate.
An effort to conciliate the chlro'
practors provision was made in the
Huffman bill sponsored by Repre-
sentative Walter A. Huffman (Rep'b
of Elkhart, providing that one mem
Der of the medical board must be
chiropractor.
This movement has not had the
desired effect as the drugless healers
claim the majority would always out
vote their member.
Harrison's bill provides that the
State board shall not be practicing
physicians and not be connected
with anv medical school
1t stipulates that examination for
each class Of healing shall be con-
Quoted by committee Of three from
the particular profession to which
the applicant may belong. For ex-
ample If chiropractor wanted a
license he would be examined by
committee of chiropractors.
Abolishes Bond
The present board, composed of
doctors of medicine, would be abol.
ished
There are pending at this time
bills to create boards for the chiro-
practors and naturopaths with all the
attendant machinery necessary.
The close vote Tuesday when
Representative Edward Z. Eiken-
barry, Democrat, of Wabash, was
brought into the chamber on Il
wheel chair to cast his vote for
strict medical supervision, gave ad
herents of drugless healing hope for
their cause.
Observers believe that before the
session is over a fight win be waged
which will surpass the fight being
waged against the public service
commission In the Senate.

TRAPS MENACE TROLLERs

The following newsitem should be food for thought. We have long known that traps catch thousands of pounds of king salmon. But the trOllers have never given it thought. They have left it to sein- CTS and their friends to carry on the fight against the fish trap. The news item taken from the Ketchi- kan Chronicle of June 10th, 1927. FIRST TRAP LIFT

A Gratifying Showing

neau Lumber M1ll6 Will exceed Dy IF per cent, it's estimates of the number of box shocks it will manu- facture this year is gratifying. Last winter MT. Rutherford, estimated that his company would produce 6OO,OOO box shocks in 1927 as compared with 45O,OOO in 1926. The boxes made and for which or ders are now in hand will number 7O2,OOO. MT. Rutherford now pre- diets a further increase of more than 40 per cent for the next year.
 This situation is gratifying not only on account of the increased business that has come to this inn portant Juneau concern, but be- cause 1t is evidence that the salmon packers were not talking idly when they declared that they meant to purchase all they can in Alaska. It means that if Alaskans will prepare to supply the canneries with their needs they will have a market for such products and labor as the pack CTS can use.
 Juneau is fortunate in the cir cumstance that the management of the Juneau Lumber Mills has had the enterprise to prepare to supply the canneries with their needs in one important line.-Empire.
 The fact that canneries are plac- ing larger orders for Alaska pro- ducts is directly due to the fight for Alaska by regular Republicans. The credit is not due to the Juneau Elm pire whose policy has encouraged the canneries to patronize Seattle. In order to gain friends, the can neries have begun to place their or ders in Alaska.
 A direct criticism that men like Rutherford of the Juneau Mill must face Is this; he is employing a larg- CT and larger percentage of Fili- pinos at decreasing wages-wages for which decent white men and h. dians cannot work.

''As time goes On and present episodes become history, I am cer- tain that among the monuments which mark the career of Herbert Hoover will be found one inscribed to the man who saved the salmon fisheries of Alaska" Hon. Arthur M. Free.
 History should show that Her. bert Hoover tried to fasten the re- servation system on Alaska and that a bill from his department was introduced in Congress for this purpose.
 The bill under which the Bu- reau of Fisheries is saving our fisheries" was opposed by the Bu~ reau. The objection was against the clause that prohibits the Sec retary of Commerce from giving anybody an exclusive right of fish, cry" Due to this clause, fish traps will eventually be abolished.
