Medical Bill Up.
The special order having arrived
the amendment to the law as to prac
ticing medicine was taken up.
The clerk read the bill and the
question recurred on the Doughton
amendment to allow a first grade
school certificate to be sufficient ed
ucational qualification. .Mr. Dowd
spoke against this, an it put more
on the applicant than did the bill It
self. Mr. Dowd spoke eloquently for
giving the aspiring young num. and
referred feelingly to the sparsely set
tled districts of the slate.
Mr. Doughton spoke for his amend
ment, and read section five, which
requires graduation from high school
of four year course, or be prepared to
enter freshman class at University,
and it was this four year course that
he wanted to get clear of.
Mr. Doughton said his amendment
did exactly what Mr. Dowd wanted,
as any man with the ambition de
scribed by Mr. Dowd could get a cer
tificate of first grade.
Referring to the man in the back
counties, he said this body had al
ready taken care of them by allowing
the state board to give restricted
lieense. Mr. Turner asked about the
$50 fee, and got a satisfactory ans
wer. Mr. Harshaw asued u the lim
ited license bill did not conflict with
this. Dr. Gordon said he could ans
wer, in that the bill did not go into
effect until 1912. Mr. Dowd said he
wanted to know some more. Who
does It apply t'o? Not to those Mr,
Dowd had In mind, was the reply.
Continuing Mr. Doughton said he
Insisted on the amendment.
Mr. Dowd asked If he thought a
lawyer ought to have a first-class cer
tificate. Mr. Doughton replied the
lawyers were keeping up, and he was
surprised that the laymen knew more
than the doctors. He appealed for
the men in the back counties. Mr,
Dowd said his opposition to the
Doughton amendment was with
drawn, since he had heard It ex
plained, but at the same time he
hoped the house would also eliminate
section five, saying while there would
be less cases four or six years from
now, there would be cases still to
which four years in high school or
