Friends Of the bill to permit licens-
ing Of naturopathic doctors In North
Dakota today won q contest In the
state senate.
On motion Of Senator J. K. Bros
teun, Mckenzie county, the bill was
brought back for reconsideration just
before expiration of the time limit
for re-introduction expired and was
made special order Of business for
Thursday.
The vote on Senator Brosteun's mo-
ton was "a to 20.
Another flareup occurred in the
senate as Senators Frank Hyland,
Ramsey county. and Dell Patterson,
Renville county, participated In a
brisk exchange of words.
The public health committee rec
ommended passage of the bill permit
ting counties to join In forming health
districts.
Patterson said he had been called
away from the committee meeting at
which action was taken. but that
after he had left he understood
someone who controlled the purse
strings" appeared before the commit
tee.
Demands Explanation
Hyland demanded that Patterson
explain his remarks. saying that they
cast aspersions upon the committee
members.
Patterson moved to kill the bill, but
later moved to defer action on the re-
port Of the committee until WedncS-
day. The motion carried.
Peace and harmony are beginning
to fade out Of the picture at the
present North Dakota legislative
session.
A fight day last week gave
many legislators practice in the art
Of legislative wrangling which many
Of them seemed to welcome. Now
that it has started there is no telling
when or where it will stop.
To many observers here one Of the
most significant actions Of last week
came Saturday. It was the defeat in
the house of the administration bill
to create a state bureau of criminal
Identification and apprehension.
Enough Independents deserted the
leadership of l.. L. Twichell, Cass
county, to kill the proposal. It was
the first defeat for an administra-
tion measure at this session.
The fact that the entire Richland
county delegation opposed the bill
was considered significant. The Rich
land county group is said to be solid
" backing the proposal Of Senator A.
F. Bonner, also Of Richland county,
to reorganize the state highway de-
partment. Twichell and other Inde-
pendent house leaders are said to be
opposed to it and the administration
is described as none too keen for it.
Serves As Warning
As a result the detection OF the
house members from Richland coun-
ty was regarded as q method of serv.
ing notice that they want considera.
