Standing In the World Of Medicine
Are Disseminated Against
Without Reason

week to file information with tne sIanu
jury there charging, as ne Claims,
graft" on the part of the state boaru
of Medical Examiners. -,,,,. -
For some time past, Wideman has
represented the complaining physicians
who have been turned down by the
state medical board and recently he
managed to reverse the decision Oh the
hoard i'm the case of DIR. Orwine, win
Ming q statement from the appellate
Judges which WILL he declares, open UP
the way to attack the entire state law
regarding the admission of physicians
to practice.
Thursday night, sixty-five physicians
of California will meet in Attorney
Widemans offices; they will come from
all parts of the state and after a dis
cussion of plan of campaign they
will send Attorney Wideman north to
present their case before the state su-
preme court and before the San Fran
cisco grand jury.
For charge of graft has been raised
by physicians in the case, who claim
that they have been instructed by
members of the state medical board
that if they, the physicians, will take
a months tuition under the representa-
tives of the board, at $100 per tuition,
they will be guaranteed a permit to
practice after later examination before
the board. In his fight against the
medical law, Wideman will be associat-
ed with his partner, Judge Ben p.
Welch.
Prominent In the Medical World
DR.. A. j. c. Saunier, graduate of
Michigan University, is one of the COM
plainants. The physician has, accord
ing to his diplomas, practiced in vari-
Gus parts of the east for the past
twenty years. He has acted as in
structing physician and surgeon at the
College of Physicians and Surgeons in
Chicago and also as lecturer in the To-
cal institution of Physicians and Sur
geons. During the meeting at the Pan
American convention of physicians and
surgeons at Washington, his papers on
various medical questions were listened
to with great interest by physicians
from all parts Of the world.
Yet he has twice taken the examina-
ton here and both times as he de-
clares, has been ruled against by men,
bers of the board who have managed
by some means or another to secure
the number of his examination papers.
DR.. Saunier is now working as an
osteopath until he can fight his claim
through and win his case. He alleges
that the questions put to him were
ridiculous, some of them having no
bearing whatever on the practice of
registered many times.
There are q number of physicians
and surgeons among those to attend

the Federation establish 1000 or more
butcher shops in New York city for the

other meats at an average of 6 cents a
pound less than he is compelled to pay
to the beef trust.

second, so that every stakeholder will
feel personal incentive to promote the
interest of the new scheme. Mr.. Well
man has not yet secured any contracts
with the railway companies for the
transportation of beef, but is confident
that public opinion, congressional pres
sure and the justice on the part OF the
interstate commerce commission will
protect the proposed combination from
discrimination.
1t is not proposed to deal with the
big wholesale or retail dealers in the
east nor to cater to the high class
trade, but the 1000 shops will be estab-
lished in the residence districts of the
working classes and the nucleus of the
trade will be the labor unions. After
the business has been worked up and
well established in New York, it will be
extended to Philadelphia, Chicago, Bos
ton and other great cities.
The costly system of retail meat dis
tribution and the high profits demanded
bv the retailers and wholesalers have
kept up prices to the consumer. Ev-
cry time the price of beef is advanced
it remains at the maximum figure. II
the conditions change it is not reduced.
The rule, however, has not been APP
piled to farm prices of cattle on the
hoof, which are usually governed by the
demand. Between 1900 and 1908, ac-
cording to the statistics of the agrlcul'
tural department the average price OF
beef cattle declined more than AZ per
cent; the mean annual price of beef cat
tie at the Chicago stockyards declined
about SH per cent, while the mean an
nual wholesale price of fresh beef III
New York advanced ) per cent.
This shows that the profits have gone
to the wholesaler and retailer and not
to the farmer.
