This same Act further provides that anyone practcing medicine"
within the state shall be licensed to do so, BUT that only graduates Of
bona fide, reputable medical schools" may take the examination for
license; therefore, chiropractors may no. legally practice their profess
sion in Texas.
Chiropractors feel that they are battling in a righteous cause. and,
in spite Of persecution, intend to continue the fight until Texas has
joined the ranks of the forty other states that regulate the practice Of
chiropractc by law.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-06-14
MAKES THIS APPEAL =
TO YOUR SENSE OF FAIR PLAY

Practically all chiropractors in the Valley have been placed under
arrest, technically charged with practcing medicine without a license.
although everyone knows that chropractic is NOT the practice of
medicine, and that chiropractors DO NOT use drugs o surgery in any
form.
The Texas Medical Practice Act provides that anyone who treats
o. offers to treat any disease or disorder, mental or physical, by any
or methot. and charges for such service, is practicing medicine
"within the meaning of ths. law"

EXPLANATION OF COMPARISON

EXPLANATION OF COMPARISON
Medical doctors study $500 hours of which over AZ per cent is devoted

Chropractors study 1928 hours of which 100 per cent is devoted to the
human body in health and disease without the use of drugs and surgery.
great professions l. they stand today.
The observer will note. as far as actual time is concerned. the medical
ton than the chTOpractor.
1928 hours or AZ percent of the medical doctors curriculum is devoted
to the subjects OF medicine and surgery, which the chiropractor does
not practice.
Chiropractors study 3O7 hours or over AZ per cent more of Anatomy
than the medical doctor. The Gas hours of Anatomy studied by the
medical doctor includes the anatomy Of lower animals while the
Anatomy studied by the chropractor is restricted to that Of the human
body.
Chropractors study 50 hours less Of Physiology and Chemistry than the
medical doctor, but while the medical doctors Physiology includes that
of lower animals, the chIropractors Physiology is restricted to functions
of the human body. Then the medical doctors Chemistry relates to
over $4,000 drugs and chemicals, while the chiropractors Chemistry
is restricted to the chemistry of the human body.
Chiropractors study 1872 hours less of Pathology and Bacteriolorv be-
cause they do not apply these subjects to surgery and serum therapy.
Chiropractors have no use for 26 hours of Pharmacology and Thera-
health. "' 1
Chiropractors study only 100 hours Of Obstetrics and Gynecdogy for
subjects.
Chiropractors study PAT hours or over p per cent more of the Science
Of Chmopracic than the medical doctors study of the Practice Of Medi-
cine. (see Medicine and Chiropractc comparson)
Chropractors do not practice Surgery and consequently do not study
that subject.
THEREFORE
ChToprsetors actually study 3s2s hours of subjects devoted entirely to
the human body in health and disease without the use Of drugs and
surgery.
Medical doctors, excepting the subjects bearing on drugs and surgery.
only study 1872 hours Of the subjects pertaining to the human body in
health and disease, which is less than 81 per cent of the chiopractors
professional education.

RAILROAD CUT
 SEVERE BLOW
 TO TERRITORY
Judge Wickersham Makes Statement in Seattle,
 Enroute East
TO MAKE PROTEST ON PROPOSED CABLE SALE
Private Ownership Would Work Ha I'd hips in
 Many Communities

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-Judge James Wickersham has arrived here on his way to Washington to spend the summer. He declared the re- cent $500,000 cut in the Alaska Railroad fund twill kill the goose that laid the golden egg"
 Judge Wickersham further de- clared that the people of Alaska are already required to pay the highest rates anywhere under the American Flag. To increase these rates will be putting an unfair handicap on the railroad and Ter ritory.
 Big Business
 Add Alaska's total production of wealth to her total purchase of merchandise-our total exports to, and our total imports from the United States and we have $1,762 ,968, 496, total exports; $907,- 873,941, total imports; or $2,670,- 842,437 in total trade. Thus AL aska's trade value with United States merchants and manufactur- CTS since 1867 is more than two and a half billion dollars A huge sum to have been won by few thousand pioneers from an inhos- pitable wilderness in the first half century of trade with the mother country. It is, however, but mere trickle to the great stream of wealth which flow into the markets of the United States from Alaska when our natural resources shall be more fully located and develop ed by an increasing number of our people who follow us into the Northern Territory, armed with better trade facilities and aided by wiser and more generous govern ment".
 To Fight Cable Sale
 Declaring the proposed sale of the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System to private interests would retard in- dustrial development of the Ter ritory, Judge Wickersham said he would make a strenuous fight against the move in Washington, D. c.
 "The sale would surely increase rates but the worst feature of all, under private ownership would be to cut many small stations operat- ing at loss. This would work a hardship in the development of isolated communities.
 Going to Washington
 Judge Wickersham will have no duties as Delegate from Alaska until December unless there is special session but he intends to go to Washington in few weeks by way of California.

xXIl p PRESIDENT IS AGAINST BILL;
 GIVES REASONS
Special Message from Chief Executive Is Hand-
 ed to House
NO MONEY IN TREASURY TO MEET BIG DEMANDS
Loan Would Break Barriers of People -Legisla-
 ton Unwise

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.-President Herbert HOOv- CT vetoed the veterans loan bill in a message to the House which was received late this afternoon.
 The President ca led the legislation "unwise" from the standpoint of the veterans themselves and unwise from the standpoint of all people,"
 The President repeated that Administrator Hines estimat- ed that one billion dollars will required to administer the bill and "there not being a penny in the Treasury to meet the demand, the Gov ernment must borrow the sum through the sale of reserve fund securities together with further issues, or must im- pose further taxation.
 Sole Appeal
 ''The sole appeal for reOp- ening the bonus act is claim that funds from the National Treasury should be provided veterans in distress, as the result of drought and busi- ness depression.
 There are many veterans unemployed and in need, in common with many others of our people. These, like others are being provided the basic necessities by devoted com- munities in parts of the coun- try affected by depression and drought.
 Matter of Concern
 Preference to veterans and their welfare is and should be a matter of concern of our people.
 Inquiry in d c ates such care is being given through out the country. It is also in- dicated that the number of veterans in need is a minor percentage of the whole peo- ple."
 Hardships
 The President, in his mes- sage, said allowing veterans to borrow 50 per cent of the face value of their certifi- cates would work a hardship on wives and dependents of
