CHIROPRACTOR
D. D. Palmer has always opposed class legislation. The Chiro
practors of Minnesota had, unknown to the Palmers, a bill,
which passed both houses. As soon as the Palmers knew of it,
they made their way to St. Paul, called upon Governor Johnson,
told him that I was the developer of Chiropractic, our objections
to the bill and asked him to veto it, which he did.
The Chiropractors o f Oklahoma spent much time and money
to get a Chiropractic bill before the legislature. The bill passed
the senate, there were no fears of its not passing the house. At
this juncture D. D. Palmer spent one day in writing his objec
tions, $6 for printing and one day at the capitol placing his ob
jections on the desks o f the senate. The result was, the senate
recalled the bill and killed it.
D. D. Palmer would take pleasure in killing every medical
and osteopathic bill in the United States. He is opposed to all
class legislation. He is opposed to tariff. He is a free-trader,
first, last and all the time.
At the last meeting o f the Chiropractors of Portland D. D.
Palmer desired to have the question o f legislation discussed and
so announced in the Adjuster, but there was no time allowed for
it, altho a whole day was spent picknicking. The late gathering
of Chiropractors at Davenport, la., altho a whole week, there
was no time for picknicking; they were there for education.
Medical and osteopathic laws are expensive to place on the
statute book and very expensive to keep there. It is said, the
average expense for each state for the osteopaths to keep a
mount, so that they may ride, has cost them $15,000. I for one
would rather walk, be independent, even if I have to fight for
my privilege of using the public highway.
I am not opposed to any Chiropractor, whether he be good or
bad. The poorest can accomplish more good than a medical
man with his bugs and dope. Yet, I would much rather know
that each Chiropractor was proficient in all that pertains
toward making him or her proficient in all that goes to make
an intelligent up-to-date Chiropractor; but there are those who
are not financially able and others who do not care to know more
than the bare rudiments. The discerning public will' choose
those whom they think the most proficient.
Mrs. Palmer’s Ice Chest. Our rooms are on the second floor.
The pantry window opens to the south. One of our students
made Mrs. Palmer an ice chest, an addition or projection made
of coarse wire netting. She has used this as an ice chest for all
purposes. On two occasions, when the afternoons were some
what warm, she took the contents inside where the pantry was
cool. Our butter has kept firm all summer. In Portland we
would not be bothered with ice and an ice chest if they were
furnised us free.
