POOR PATIENTS
Have Trouble in Getting Treated Be
cause Two Doctors Are
at War.

The old trouble between the city physi-
clan and the township doctor has again
come to the surface, and 1t will require
a diagram from the hands of the county
prosecutor to set things straight. 1t
seems that several poor patients within the
city limits wanted medical attention, and
the township trustee, to whom applica-
tion for aid was made, instructed the
town ship physician, Dr. A. v. Smith,
to care for them. This the doctor refused
to do, as he contended that as the cases
were within the city limits, they should
be attended by the city physician, DIR.
Schuffel. Today News-D Democrat man
called upon the warning factions and
CLEANED few points from each side.
| .Dr. A. V. Smith was first seem He
said CAS- understand my duties, am
to give medical attention and aid to all
sick or injured persons in Canton town
ship, outside of the city limits, while
those unable to pay regular physicians
and who apply for aid within the limits,
should bs attended by the city physician
As l receive but meagre sum for my
services rs township physician, 1 should
certainly not be required to attend city
patients"
DR.. Schuffel was next called upon, and
that official said: II understand my
duties to extend to city patients only, and
then only to those who apply to the As
ISOLATED Charities, the charity board of
the city connoil, or to any other city society
or official, but when the patient has been
under the care of the township trustees,
who have furnished the patient with
food and clothing, or when a patient has
been turned over Ivy regular physician
to the charge of the township trustees,
then believe that those cases should be
cared for by the township physician. /
receive $40 per month for my services as
city physician, and my books show that
every month, according to regular
charges, do $3.50 to 5000 worth of work
for my salary, and believe / am not re-
quired by law to take the patients that
undoubtedly belong to the township
physician.
A meeting of the trustees and inflrm-
airy directors was held Saturday after
noon, to adjust the matter, but nothing
could be done until an opinion could be
obtained from Prosecutor Bow.

saloonkeepers Organized to Resist Coll
lection of Increased Tax.
COLUMBUS, May 16.-A widespread
movement has been organized among
the saloonkeepcrs of the state to resist
the collection of the increased Dow law
tax.
At Chillicothe and other smaller cities
injunction proceedings are expected to
be brought against the collection of the
increased tax. The saloon men take
the ground that the law in its modified
shape is unconstitutional, notwithstand.
ing the elementary principles of the
law are not changed, and that the modi-
fication lies only in the increase of the
amount of tax to be paid. 1t is maiu-
tanned that the new tax is excessive,
and that it is unconstitutional to levy q
tax beyond what the business can stand.
