Its supporters favored a tax large enough to put the machines out of business. Repeal of the average income law ended many months of opposition on the part of business and industry to what they held to be harmful burdens imposed by its provisions. The repeal vote was 48 to 8, revealing large measures of support from all legislative ele ments. The health cooperatives measure puts a form of socialized medicine into effect. If passed by the senate and approved by the governor the organization of medical cooperatives will be permitted by law. Under the bill as amended the state board of health would direct the cooperatives, membership of which would be restricted to legal residents of the area affected. Split Session H. J. R. 1 calls for a constitutional amendment to provide for split legislative sessions. It aims conditions to correct existing conditions caused by a jam of bills at the end of the present sixty-da-y session by providing a recess during which legislators may better familiarize themselves with pro- posed legislation. Approval of the bill to provide for a study of occupational diseases marks the end of current session efforts to have occupational tionally entitled to criticise and today, 150 years later, to carry call to account the highest and the on their task.
