Medical Law May Not Be Amended Physicians Express Opinion That the Measure "as Proposed by Paisley Would Admit P allures.

M a going the examinations, Of the .Ute board of health. Miy Paisley explained this morning that he Introduced the bill at the re quest of Dr. Via of Washington county. As to the technical points of the bill, he disclaimed knowledge. The only apparent difference between this blll.and the present law is that on the proper showing, the examin ing board is required to issue a li cense. The present law leaves it optional. A new feature of the bill requires that such applicants for license- to practice medicine must be graduates of reputable medical colleges. - , Chairman Stott of the medical com mltteA will in vp&t 1 ffa t m tha &jinrt1on that a similar law in California was declared unconstitutional. ' Dr. An derson, a member of the committee and an osteopath, expressed doubt of the effect of the bill. Dr. A.

This condition can only be prevented by the American railroads offering terminal rates to Alaskan shippers, or by act of congress requiring all Amer ican bottoms to deliver their fish to American ports, he says.
