Matter Now J. F..T. SAVES RESOLUTION | First Real Flight of Oratory in| House Brings Memorial for Smith > 1 By a vote of 98 to 18, the house of | representatives Friday wind the com- pulsory vaccination laws off the North Dakota statute books through the Las- sage of Senate Bill 31. The house by approximately the same vote passed the emergency clause attache to the bill, through which it will take immed- iate effect upon being signed by the goyernor. When the anti-vaccination bill came up for third reading, Kep. Hoare made a'plea for immediate action and ask- ed, also that the emergency be car- ried, declaring that an actual émer- gency existed’ in that many parents who" did not believe in vaccination were prevented by the present stat- utes from sending their children to school. eeu Hae ‘Rep. Burtness declared himself in favor of repealing the present statutes making vaccination compulsory. He believed \these laws:to be too broad in their! scope. ‘But he suggested that the bill should ,be so amended as to permit boards of health to prescribe compulsory vaccination in times of acute epidemic, when boards of health he urged, should be given the power to declare an emergency. Rep. Burt- ness’ motion to this effect was tabled, and both the bill and its emergency clause were carried by more than the required two-thirds majority of all) members voting. % Patterson ‘Misinformed. Because one journal was miss*g from his file, Rep. Del Paterson jump- ed at the conclusion Friday that the rule adopted by the house covering the vote on emergency. measures might be unconstitutional, and he ask- ed that the vote by which this rule was adopted be reconsidered. Rep. Twichell, author.of the motion for the adoption of this rule, and a member of the special committee which: wait- ed upon Attorney weneral Langer to. ascertain the-statusa of the emergency, under the amended constitution, o%- plained ‘maters, and Patterson’s mo- tion was laid on the table. The. gentleman” ‘ffom ‘Donnybrook stated. that. he made-. his motion through. fear that. the rule adopted, that emergencles ve déclared carried} by a two-thirds vote; of the members present. and voting théreon, was un- constitutional., Rep., Twichell quoted for him the emergency amendment to the constitution approved by the peo- Ple last, November and satified by the present. assembly, and. proved that, the exact. wording of the constitution al amendment had been used. O'Connor Saves Resolution. “Nothing this house can do can add honor to the name of Lieut. Lester M. Smith, nor can the house dishonor his name by killing my resolution,” de- clared Rep. J. F. T. O'Connor in a! soaring flight’ of oratory inspired Friday afternoon by the offering by | Rep: Malone of McLean of a sudsti- tute for the resolutions which were introduced some time ago by the gen- tleman from Grand Forks, memorial izing the late Lieut. Lester M. Smith, journal clerk in, the house during the 15th assembly, and who. died in France. z sid (Malone's resolution expressed the appreciation of the state of North for all of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice; or who served their coun- try in any) capacity during the war. sme declared’ Rep. O’Connor’s mem- orial too éxclusive. | O'Connor insisted that the house had a right to especial- ly honor an employe who had rendered | it valuable service. He declared for Malone's motion but insisted that it should not be substituted for his. As ed and will'be spread on the journal. The practice of chiropractic, un- limited as to hospitals, contagious and infectiéus diseases, and optometry, is provided for in House Bill 176, which removes present restrictions against the profesison. Rep. Twichell doubt- ed the advisability of allowing chiro- practors to treat contagious diseases and officiate at child-births. Rep. Paterson inquired whether Twichell classed births as contagious. The house also made law, ready for the signature of Governor’ Frazier, Senate Bill No, 80, making it the duty of county commisioners,to employ one or more graduate. nurses who shall give ful Itime to the work and whose duty it shall be to visit the schools in the county and to inspect and ex- schools. The bill also provides that amine’ the pupils attending said the school board or board of educa- tion of any school corporatjon in the state may, and, when pel ed by a majority of the persons — having children attending the schols shalt employ one or more graduate nurses. The house also passed Senate Bill . 33. \ BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA SATURDAY, FEB, 8, LEAGUE INCOME TAX BILL GETS BY WITH EASE But Nine Votes Cast in Opposi- tion to Important Rev- enue Measure FULL CREWS ARE ASSURED Thorwald Mostad Realizes Ambi- tion Nourished in Years of Bachelorhood Almost without Friday passed by.a. vote of 37 to 9, with three absent, Senate Bill 37, pro- viding for a general income tax, and regarded as one of the league’s most important revenue measures.
