STATE TICK BILL HAS NARROW SHAVE IN LOWER HOUSE I Fight Against Measure Gets So Warm Vote on Repeal Results in 48 to 41 The fight to repeal the state cattle dipping law was lost in the house of representatives last Thursday by the narrow margin of 48 nays to 41 yeas. The repeal bill was introduced in the lower house by Representative Bur gess of DeSoto, who urged its pas sage. The bill drew to its support a large element of members who seem to be impressed with the many claims that' it is impossible to get rid of the tick pest in Louisiana and that to proceed further would cost additional thou sands of dollars of the taxpayers' money. While a number of parishes have been released from federal quarantine others are either in part or wholly under the ban and itis impossible to ship cattle ,from the infested zones. In many localities lawless elements, chagrined because of the enforce ment of the law relative to the dip ing of livestock every fourteen days, have taken the matter into their own hands and have dynamited dipping vats, hoping that the destruction of the vats would stop the dipping pro cess. The proposed no-fence law, bazcked by the administration, is regarded as a measure aimed at the tick, in that there would be no more free range and stockowners would be compelled to keep their stock within an en closure and the ridding of the pas tures of cattle tick would then be an easy matter. The proposed law, how ever, is not going to have easy sail ing for there is a strong element which proposes to fight it to a stand still.
