Representative Ghent, ef King County. acrtueU aome of hla confrere at thla nnloa. aa well a iimi of the members of the House two years aira of political Jujrglery In efforta to defeat the aaeaaure. Particularly, he accused Dr. IX a Heir.. State Comrals aioner of Health, of acting In bad faith, declaring that official had been lobby In on the floor In the chamber against the appropriation. The same bill waa Introduced two years a co but waa defeated, enld Ghent, at the Ins'ance of the dry- lineup." Now. he" aid. a combination had ln effected hntwecn Lrr. lire and the "drya" to side track the measure. PavN of Tierce, chairman of the ap propriation committee, opposed the bill vigorously on the irround that the state was badly In debt and that It would not be good bualneaa to provide for the ap propriation. Ilia motion to postpone the bill indefinite!.- carried by a large ma jority. Client Blames Combine. Pefore the question waa put to a vote. Ghent said: "I bant been trying for over two year tt ret a state tuberculosis sanitarium for Washington, hut both the politicians and certain physicians have been oppos ing the moven-.ent. It naa been my de sire to make It a purely state Institu tion to bo conducted In the interest of humanity. It Is time for us to do some thing to combat the white pis cue. Fully o per cent of the people of Washington favor suh an Institution. The Commissioner of State Health is r-ppoelne the bill because he did not have tne honor of starting the movement and Is p'qued that the proposition was introduced by me. For further grounds of opposition, he la Interested In the bill Introduced by Kennedy of Klna for the appropriation of aa a state aid to the Henry Hospital In Seattle. In which the Commissioner la directly Interested. Doctor Against Bill. "Such a proposition la bad on the face ef It. I will never be at party to any state-aid proposal such aa that bill. I am advised that my bill will rot receive favorable action by thla body. That makes no difference with me. I will stay In politics until the legislature passes a bill for a tuberculosis home. The people of Washington demand It now and vo-i arcntlemen know It-" j Beach of Mason, a practldn-r physician. , opposed the measure, declaring tnat ine state waa not financially able to sup port inch an Institution. Previous to the discussion of the Ghent bill, the House passed a resolution favor Ins; the purchase of the, Wenatchee bridge for JISxOO. Ohent remarked that it waa not tae rart of consistent lawmaking to ratify the purchase of a bridge whereby only a few persona will be benefited and to turn down a measure that Is Intended to benefit the people of the entire state. He served notice that he would intro duce a bill tomorrow to make the office cf the Commissioner of State Health elective Instead of appointive. This move will be taken with the Intention of removing antagonistic influences to the proposed sanitarium which Ghent deciarea emanate from that office. Although the House passed tuo Wenat-chee-bridge bill by two to one. It is the opinion of some of the members, who axe attorn ev a. that the act will be found unconstitutional. The subject was brought before the House In the form of a resolution Instead of a regularly drawn bll. and It Is held that the Legis lature cannot legally make an appropria tion In such circumstances. Others main tain that the adoption of the resolution was merely a ratification of the contract entered Into two years ago by the state to purchase the bridge, and that the ac tion was legal and regular. The techni cality has not been disposed of. how ever, and the minority contends that the brtdpe subject Is slUI unsettled. The House discussed the bill on ini tiative and referendum until 7:1S o'clock tonight and from the tenor of the speeches It is evident that the sub ject will be popular among the mem bers. The bill was up under the sec end readlnr and several amendments were offered. The measure, as orig inally drafted. Is similar to the Oregon law. Petitions from the State Grange. Farmers' Co-operative and educational rnloo, Direct legislation League and Mate Federation of Labor have been reared in the bands of the House mem bers. Ruth Against Klmlcrcarten.
