THERE is one minor feature of the
medical confidence game of the census
bureau to which attention has not been
sufficiently drawn. The circular asking
physicians to furnish the names, ad-
dresses and diseases Of their patients
promises to each doctor who will act as
government spy free copy of the re-
ports, which will be of value to him in
the future practice of his profession.
This is to be his pay for doing census
work. These reports, printed of course
at public expense, are thus to be used as
inducements to extract confidential pro-
fessional information for public use.
There is no law to authorize such a
transaction. If there We're, it would be
q very bad one.
