10 . LEGISLATURE DEEMS TO SIGN CHIROPRACTIC BILL Gov. Johnson Returns Meas ure to Senate Without Approval The second veto of Gov. Johnson reached the senate yesterday. The gov ernor returned without his approval Senator Gjertsen's bill creating a state board of chiropractic examiners. The reasons for the veto are set forth by the governor as follows: The best information of which I am possessed reveals to me the fact that chi ropractic, so-called. Ik a discovery of very recent origin, and was discovered and developed by men who were not learned in the science of healing disease. It is not apparent to me that the devotees of this «»o-called art in this state are pos sessed of the proper knowledge of anat omy and kindred subjects to properly con stitute a board for the examination of others in those subjects. The enactment of a law creating a state board of chiropractic examiners and reg istration, and to regulate the practice of chiropractic in the state of Minnesota, and to license chiropractors, will dignify this new and untried school to the extent that the people will look to it as panacea and remedy for the ills to which the human body is heir, and must from the very na ture of that confidence so established, be more or less imposed upon by practition ers who will have adopted this means to abuse the confidence of the public. Chiropractic has not yet become a sci ence or even a school, and is at best but an untried experiment which has pro duced no lasting or definite results. Among the applicants for positions on this pro posed board are insurance agents, and men in other walks in life with absolute ly no medical training whatever. • The health of the public is the first essential, and .should be safeguarded by every pos -1 sible legal requirement, and if chiroprac tic must be recognized at all, those prac ticing this so-called art should certainly be required to pass examination in the essential branches by due and regular ex amination before the state medical board which represents the best thought and is the recognized and established standard which has been developed from the experi ence of the ages. Believing this. I cannot give my ap proval to senate file No. 81, "An act cre ating a state board of chiropractic exam iners and registration, and to regulate the practice of chiropractic in the state of Minnesota, to license chiropractors and to punish persons violating the provisions of this act," which is herewith returned without my signature and approval. Very respectfully. —John A. Johnson, Governor. On motion of Senator Gjertsen, the bill and communication were laid upon the table. /forrto coo/t£t Macaroni Pudding. Boil a cupful of mac- r^^t^."

SENATE PISSES IDE RAILWAY RATE BILLS Urges Congress to Pass Law Abolishing "Private Car" Lines The senate yesterday passed Senator Eberhart's four bills regulating rail road freight rates. They were the special order for 11 a, m. and were passed without debate or opposition after Senator Eberhart, as chairman of the joint committee appointed to take testimony, had explained their provi sions. Senator Eberhart said that only twenty-five complaints had been pre sented; that the committee had given the subject an exhaustive investiga tion; that the majority report, which he indorsed, differed but little in its recommendations from the minority report. The first bill, senate file No. 508, gives the railroad and warehouse com mission jurisdiction over freight rates, forbids railroads to change rates with out the consent of the commission; the second bill provides a fine for al lowing rebates, not to exceed $5,000, and declares the recipient of such fa vor guilty of a misdemeanor; the third bill is a joint resolution recognizing the existence of a distributing and a distance tariff, but declaring that the two tariffs should show but little dif ference in the rate for a given mileage, in no case to exceed 5 per cent; the fourth measure is a joint memorial to congress urging the passage of a law restoring to the interstate commerce commission the powers formerly exer cised by it by giving it full to control the long and short haul clause regulating interstate commerce. The memorial also urges congress to abolish all "private car" lines and re quire railway companies to furnish the necessary equipment to meet the public demands. Passed by Senate H. F. No. 881—Appropriating $4,000 for the relief of the cyclone sufferers at Louisburg. H. F. No. 882: By Timberlake—Au thorizing the county board of Hennepin county to appropriate money for roads. S. F. No. 372: By Stephens—Fixing the salaries of the members of the rail road and warehouse commission. H. F. No. 420: By Klein—Relating to obstruction of highways. H. F. No. 195: By Deegan—Provid ing for sending official ballots to village and town clerks. H. F. No. 290: By Fosseen —Author- izing reception of evidence of abstracts of title and abstractors' date. S. F. No. 501: By Buck—To divert board of control of authority over Min nesota schools for deaf and blind. NOLAN BILL KILLED Senate Committee to Offer Demurrage Substitute W. A. Nolan's reciprocal demurrage bill will not be recommended for pass age by the senate committee on rail roads. That decision was arrived at yesterday afternoon. The, committee has granted half a dozen hearings to the shippers who want the bill passed and to the rail roads and their counsel who oppose the measure. Both sides argued long and earnestly, and the committee has decided to recommend a compromise bill which eliminates certain features of the Nolan measure. ' The new bill which will be reported out today places the whole matter in the hands of the state railroad and warehouse commission. Instead of charging each other with demurrage fees for delays in loading or unloading or in moving or furnishing cars the bill requires the railroads and ship pers to furnish, move, load and unload freight cars with reasonable speed and dispatch. The commission is to decide whether a penalty should be enforced by either party. This does away with section 12 of the bill which gives the shipper credit on all cars unloaded in less than twenty-four hours. The bill requires both the railroad companies and the shippers to move and unload their cars with reasonable speed and dispatch, instead of charg ing each other demurrage for delayed cars. It is a compromise measure de signed to expedite the handling of freight. JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PUTS IN BUSY DAY Recommends a Large Number of Bills for Passage The senate judiciary committee put In a busy afternoon yesterday. As a result it recommended nearly two score of additional bills which will appear on general orders today. Among the bills recommended for in definite postponement was Senator Johnson's bill removing the $5,000 dam age limit for causing the death of a human being through negligence or carelessness. This bill is introduced at every session of the legislature and is regularly killed in committee. The committee also recommended the indefinite postponement of Senator Peterson's bill permitting in civil ac tions the cross examination of the offi cers or directors of corporations before trial. Senator Everett's "trust buster" bill was referred to its author, a polite way of recommending it for indefinite • postponement. LIMITS THE COST OF TELEGRAPH MESSAGES Indorses Bill Fixing Charge at 25 Cents for Ten Words . Twenty-five cents for telegraphing ten words will be the max.im.um charge any telegraph company can impose be tween points in Minnesota, if Represen tative Peterson's bill passes the sen ate. It «as recommended yesterday by the senate committee on corporations. Under the present law the state is di vided into blocks and messages of ten words or less between certain points in the state frequently cost more than twenty-five cents. The committee also recommended the passage of Senator Putnam's bill re quiring telephone companies to record mortgages on their apparatus and other personal property i n the offices of reg isters of deeds in the various counties instead of with the town or city clerks. Acts on House Bills The senate Judiciary committee is flooded with house bills. The commit tee yesterday agreed to favorably re port Representative J. R Hickey's bill to extend the protection of the hotel keepers 1 act to lodging house keepers and Representative J. T. Mannix'g "loan shark" bill. Both bills are of interest to Ramsey and Hennepin coun- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. THURSDAY. APRIL 13. 1905 A MATTER OF HEALTH POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS HO SUBSTITUTE BOARD OF CONTROL CURTAILED AGAIN Senate Passes Bill Divesting It of Authority Over Farl bault Schools Without a word of debate Senator Buck's bill, divesting the state board of control of jurisdiction over the schools for the deaf and blind at Fari bault, was passed by the senate yes terday by a vote of 35 to 16. The vote was as follow 8: Yeas—Benson, Brower, Buck, Cal houn, Campbell. Cole, Coller, Collester, Comstock, Cooke, Cowan, Dart, Dunn, Dv Toit, Durant, Fitzpatrlck, Frater, Gjertsen, Harrington, Hawkins. Horton, Johnson, Laybourn, Mauston, McGee, McGowan, Naeseth.

After disposing of the special order at 11 p. m. comprising the four bills of Senator Eberhart relating to railroad freight rates, as elsewhere reported, the senate resumed consideration of the calendar. Senator Dunn's bill providing for the single publication in all the legal news papers of a county prior to an election, of all notices of proposed constitutional amendments and the attorney general's digest of their purport, failed to pass, securing only 29 votes, lacking three of a majority of the senate. Senator Wood's little speech against the bill probably killed it, though he voted for the measure. Senator Wilson said he had consulted the state printer, who informed him that the bill if passed would entail an additional expense to the state ranging from $9,000 to (35,000, as under the present law the notice of constitutional amendments is required to be publish ed three times in only one legal news paper of a county. This moved Senator Wood to re mark that newspapers were a prolific tribe, and that if there were only 700 legal publications in the state at pres ent, there would be 1,400 as soon as the bill was passed, so the bill failed to pass. Senator Stephens' bill raising the salaries of the members of the state railroad and warehouse commission from $3,000 to $3,600 a year was passed, as was Representative Fosseen's bill authorizing the reception as evidence in actions over title to land abstracts of title and abstractor's data, when public records have been lost or destroyed. Representative Adams' bill to prohib it the sale of thin lumber was recom mended for indefinite postponement by the committee on logs and lumber and the report was adopted. Representative Rachie's bill appro priating $4,000 for the relief of the suf ferers of the cyclone at Louisburg, Lac qul Parle county, and a bill by the Hennepin county delegation authoriz ing the board of county commissioners to expend $100 in case of an emergency without advertising for bids, were passed.

MINORITY WINS OUT WITH RATE REPORT House Adopts the Drastic Fea tures Despite Some Loud Protests With few members objecting, but with these protesting strenuously against the more drastic features of the report and the accompanying bills, the house yesterday adopted the Washburn minority report from its special rail road rate Investigating committee and all the bills that accompanied it. Riding roughshod over the minority in the house and denying them the right of debate and even of amendment to one bill, the majority carried things with a high hand in the house. In ad dition to the senate bills and memo rials, the house passed its own bill, H. P. No 870, making the rates fixed by the state railroad commission imme diately effective and in force until finally determined by the court' of last resort. Thirty days are given to ap peal from an adverse decision of the court to the commission's order, and pending an appeal the orders of the court are made secondary to the orders of the commission. In discussing this Mil, Gerge W. Armstrong of Hennepin was called to order by members of the majority for speaking more than twice on the bill. The point was sustained by N. F. Hugo of St. Louis, who was lo the chair. Made furious by the ar bitrary conduct of the majority leaders. Gen. M. D. Flower of Ramsey belabor ed the house for it unfairness toward the rights of a corporation. "It is argued here that railroads are quasi-public corporations." Gen. Flow er declared, "but this house refuses to recognize any such rights for the com panies. We should be fair to them as we would be fair to any public insti tution. I shall not vote to confiscate the property of many people of the state and of the United States. I shall not vote for a bill that makes an order of a railroad commission superior to an order of the district and supreme courts of the state and which must stand until settled by the supreme court of the United States. Perley Offers Amendment George E. Perley of Clay ofTered an amendment to the bill, suspending the rate if the district court decided against its validity. Apparently drunk with its success, the majority voted down the amendment in the face of a declaration by A. L. Cole that they had destroyed the legality of the bill by refusing the Perley amendment. On the final passage of the bill, the vote stood 68 for to 13 against. Mr. Perley voted with the majority, though he said the bill made the state railroad commis sion superior to the district and su preme courts of the state. The committee's bill, authorizing the state commission to appear and pros ecute cases In which Minnesota citizens are interested, before the interstate commerce commission, also excited de bate. M. J.. O'Laughlin of Wabasha expressed the fear that the bill gave the commission a wide latitude in the employment of attorneys, and this sug gestion precipitated a discussion in which It was made to appear that there is no thought of the attorney general's office prosecuting the cases for the state commission. H. B. Chamberlain of Hennepln said he had Just voted to give the attorney generals office more compensation and a larger force with the«understanding that such cases would be prosecuted by his office. The admission was forc ed from leaders of the majority that the plan contemplated an appropria tion for the state commission to work independently of the state's legal de partment. It is currently reported that W. J. Donahower, former attorney gen eral, is slated for the position by the state commission in view of his long servlee with the commission in rail road matters in the past. Negative Votes Few Gen. Flower refused to vote for the bill, reported by the committee, giving the state commission authority over rates and classifications, for he said the commission already had this authority and there was no use in multiplying the laws on the statute books. The bill was passed, however, with scattering negative votes. In discussing the senate bill, provid ing: severe penalties for the giving or acceptance of rebates. R. J. Wells of Breckenridge declared that the feature of making the shipper liable had prov ed the death blow to the efficiency of the Elkins anti-rebate bill, and he pro tested against the introduction of the feature in the senate bill. It made con victions impossifjle. he said. Mr. Wells' protest was in vain. He sent an amendment to the desk, but ft was not read. The roll call was ordered and rhe bill passed, while he vainly tried for recognition. At the afternoon session he forced considera tion of his amendment, striking out the shipper from being held responsible for receiving the rebate, but it was re jected by the house. Referring to the joint resolution ask ing that a reduction of freight rates in the state be ordered by the commission, pointed inquiries were addressed to the members of the joint committee asking if they had investigated rates In lowa and Illinois, by which the report asked rates Be compared. The admis sion was made by Mr. Washburn that only the rate sheets indicated the sit uation. G. *W. Armstrong contended that the committee had failed to sub stantiate its case as to rates of other states and without direct information he was opposed to the resolution. It was passed, however, along with a J«int memorial to congress asking for enlarged powers for the interstate com merce commission and a mitigation of the 'private car" evil. The house accepted the Washburn minority report as to the railroad rate investigation, and voted to indfinitely postpone the Eberhart majority report. It was explained by Mr. Washburn that his report recited conclusions at great er length than the majority report. SENATOR BARKER HAS NEW PRIMARY BILL Provides fop Special Election to Choose Delegates to County Convention Senator Barker's primary election bill, amended so as to provide for th-? holding of a separate primary on the last Tuesday of June in each even numbered year to elect delegates to the county convention, which shall select delegates to the state convention, was recommended for passage yesterday by the senate committee on elections. The measure will be placed at the head of general orders this morning. The bill, as amended, does away, so Senator Barker says, with the objection to the original bill which provided for the election of delegates to the county convention at the regular primaries in September, and therefore restrttted the state campaign to six weeks. Will be Special Order L. H. Johnson's bill to require a 4 per cent gross earnings tax from express companies was yesterday made a spe cial order for 11 o'clock today in the house. The bill is said to have the sanction of the state auditor's office, but it Is objected to on the ground that It will be double taxation. HONEST '-f^- ¥_J /\ 1 B *fr id!?

A call of the house was or dered two or three times during the day. Occasionally a bit of horseplay broke the dreariness and order waH preserved with difficulty.

SMITH IN DESPAIR Hennepin Member Gives Up Trying to Pass Salary Bill Members of the legislature will have to struggle along as best they can with present salaries. Sherman S. Smith yesterday withdrew his bill to increase salaries to $500 a year. Twice it had come within a few votes of passing, but its chances of success were regarded as so remote that its author asked to have the bill referred to its author. Mr. Smith followed his motion with another to suspend the rules and pass his bill for a constitu tional amendment giving cities the right to legislate without the aid of charter commissions. The house deferred to Minneapolis yesterday, passing the Comstock bill, Riving Hennepin county the right to issue $200,000 bonds to complete its court house and city hall, and restoring the Minneapolis municipal officers' bill to general orders for an opinion from the attorney general as to the consti tutionality of the bill. It would make elective by the people a number of offices now named by the city council. HAS FIVE SPEAKERS House Sees Unique Reunion in Retiring Room Possibly never in the history of Min nesota have five men who have been speaker of the house of representatives been together in the state capitol. Yes terday four former speakers were guests of Speaker Frank C'lague in the house retiring room for half an hour. The meeting was entirely accidental. W. E. Lee of Long Prairie was in town and called at the capitol. J. D. Jones of Long Prairie was on his way home from a trip to the south, where he had spent the winter. Mr. Lee was speaker during the session of 1893 and Mr. Jones in 1897. A. N. Dare, state expert printer, speaker in 1899, was at the capitol as usual, and M. J. Dowling, speaker for the session of 1901, had come in from Olivia to see the legis lature in session during its closing days. While the four former speakers have the freedom of the floor by vir tue of their old positions, they were content to sit in the shadows of the smoking room and talk of old times. Will Revise Torrens Law The Torrens land title registry law will be revised by the legislature if a bill to be favorably reported by the house Judiciary committee today goes through the two houses. The system will continue to be confined to Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties, but the new law will be more explicit in its terms than the present statute. The new law will conform to the provisions of the revised code on the subject.
