BEFORE The MEDICAL SOCIETY.

III the annual address-just from the
press-of Dr. Ira E. Oatman, as President
of the Medical Society of California; very
large and highly representative Association
that officer discusses, among other mat
tiers, the right of medical experts to conf
pensaton for service in Courts. The claim
for such recompensc has q basis of sound
reason. The State has TIE right 10 COM
mand just such gratuitous service in its be-
half from physicians as it exacts generally
from other citizens But it cannot be shown
that the State in justice should exercise its
power to compel any expert to give to it the
benefit of scientific knowledge gained by
personal exerhon. The ordinary witness
to an even. is rightly compelled to come
into Court and bear testimony as to facts.
But We submit that the knowledge that
comes of study and experience and by
which one gains his living, is not so at
command Of the State, that, in lis capacity
as just organization of society, it should
compel the expert to give of his means in
excess OF regular taxation, to the accom-
plishment even of the ends of justice. If
the locomotive engineer, the chemist, the
bank clerk, the optician, the doctor, the
assayer, or other follower of skilled voca-
ton is called to leave his business. surren-
der his daily earnings, and give the State
the benefit of his skill, why should not the
S ate pay him, at least i'll part, for the loss of
his time and for the benefit of that skill by
the sale OF which he earns his bread? The
question is the argument, and the onus is
upon the State to advance some better
reason than wrong custom of long stand
ing for the exercise of its arbitrary power.
In the same paper it is urged that med
ical libraries be established by law in the
principal cities and towns of the State
The proposition cannot be successfully de-
Tended. The province of the State is not
to educate men to be either physicians or
lawyers, except so far as is done in State
University courses. Nor is it Just that the
people be taxed to maintain libraries for
specific classes. Whatever strength there
is in the recommendation would equally
