seconded by Dr. Tyler, that the money contributed by Drs. 
Campbell and Alverson for legislative purposes be refunded. 
Carried. 
Dr. Babb presented a bill for monies expended for legisla¬ 
tion puiposes, amounting to $22.00. A bill from the Secretary 
for fees and for printing, amounting to $^^.1^. They were 
audited and ordered paid. 
Under the head of miscellaneous business. Dr. A. H. Baker 
spoke at some length on the subject of the members of the as¬ 
sociation acting as Assistant State Veterinarians under a non¬ 
qualified man. Dr. Alverson, one of the assistants present, said 
in defense of himself, that he would resign if all did in a body, 
or if a majority would, and that if he resigned, another quali¬ 
fied man would fill his place, and he did not think he ought to 
resign and let some else have the berth. Dr. Walker thought 
all should resign and not hold on because some one else would 
slip into their shoes, and if all resigned the Governor would see 
he had made a mistake and appoint a qualified man. Dr. Tyler 
said he was under obligations to the members of the Uive 
Stock Commission ; they wanted him to serve, and he felt he 
ought to serve, and he felt he ought to hold on to the office : 
he did not think anything we could do would affect Gov. Tan¬ 
ner ; he did not know what to do, but thought he would hold 
on. Dr. Martin said he was slated for the position before the 
present incumbent was appointed, and felt he had to hold his 
position in order to placate his political friends. Still he was 
not particular what he did. He thought a man could do as he 
liked so long as he did not violate the Code of Ethics of the as¬ 
sociation. He thought it was interfering with a man’s personal 
•liberty. Moved by S. S. Baker, seconded by Dr. Walker, that the 
question of the members resigning their official positions, be 
laid over till the spring meeting. Carried. 
Moved by Dr. Walker, seconded by Dr. Hughes, that the 
members in arrears for dues be notified to settle or be expelled. 
Carried. 
Moved by Dr. Alverson, seconded by A. H. Baker, that the 
next meeting be held in February, at Bloomington. Carried. 
On motion meeting adjourned. 
S. S. Baker, Secretary.
