"A corporation tax sounds we'll when
mentioned, but we doubt its justice or
its practicability,' says the Brooklyn
Chronicle. An income tax. on the 9th
er hand, if fairly applied, is just. The
wealth is not necessarily an evil, for in
theory at least they handle the COM
hined capital of many small investors.
The individuals who gobble up the
stocks of great corporations and man
age them without regard to the inter
ests of the small investors or the pub
lie Should on the other hand be reached
by law and made to contribute their
fair share to the support of govern
ment.'

the great centers Of life and indus
try, and to those with whom he comes
in contact in professional way, also
come slowly, and extend along the
highways, leaving the byways almost
as far off as before. The junction Of
several roads with an R. F. D. route,
with a score of mail boxes perched on
posts with only one or two houses
within view, is a common sight these
days, and indicates that the owners
of the boxes have to come several
miles for their mail.
The telephone is the agent which
most tends to increase his practice
and his income, to make his calls, and
to- save his time and the wear and
tear on himself and his teams. How
much simpler it is for him to call up
his patients ten or fifteen miles away
and learn whether a change in their
condition makes a visit necessary,
than to drive that far to learn the
same thing? Even if there is not a
telephone in the home Of every one of
them, there is one in the vicinity Of
each from which the doctor can be
notified Of his condition and called if
a change makes it necessary.
Unlike good roads it costs little
money to build telephone lines, and,
unlike rural free deliveries, they may
be extended along highways and by
ways, along good roads, across fields,
over hills and streams. They are
flexible, they are cheap, they give
good service, and they are always
ready day or night, to perform their
duty. Once connected up they re-
quire no further attention save to
renew the batteries once or twice a
wear. and to keep the lines clear.
Their construction is so simple that
any group, Of farmers can build them.
Poles, particularly in the South, can
usually be cut on the farms, and can
be distributed and set into the ground
at slight expense. The wire, brackets
and insulators for a mile of metallic
(2wire) circuit. which, will give the
best service, costs approximately on
ly $500 per mile, while the best tele-
phone instrument with all the mater
ial necessary for installation costs
approximately only $140O each.

from them, with any number Of tele-
phones from one to twenty-five con-
nected to each. In many eases these
telephone lines connect with no ex-
change or long distance lines, the on
ly purpose they serve being to afford
their owners the privilege of talking
with one another or to summon aid
in emergencies.
When several such lines center in a
doctors residence, he usually has
some kind Of a switchboard, so that
he can connect any Of the lines to-
gether, thus bringing all the people
on the various lines into closer touch.
The lines are operated in two ways.
One is where the doctor himself
builds the lines and furnishes the
telephones, renting them to his pat
rons, on the same principle as city
exchange is operated. This plan fire.
quently results in the doctors final
ly operating a telephone exchange
with several hundred stations, neces-
stating the employment Of operators
and a man to take care of the ar
counts, switchboard, and so forth.
The other, and usual, plan is where
the people; themselves get together,
Organize mutual company, bui'd
their own lines, install their own tele~
phones, and terminate the line in tie
doctors office, where he installs a
switching device, charging the people
on the lines a nominal sum of 25
cents or so cents per month, each, for
connecting the lines together. ? =
quently the doctor himself is insfru-
mental in getting such scheme start
ed, and, acting as the agent for the
telephones, sells them and the line
material to the people building the
lines, making a commission which is
welcome addition to his income.
Where such a system exists the
beneficial effect, not only upon the
community at large, bat uron the
country doctor also, can hardly be
expressed. No matter how far from
his office he may be, he is always IN
touch with it. and can be reached il
less time than It takes to saddle &

The Telephone and its Relation $
to the Country Doctor.

The role Of Country Doctor has al
ways been an interesting one, but it
has always been an exceedingly diff
fcult one, with many hardships and
few rewards outside Of the friendship
Of the families attended. As condi-
tions in the open country have I'M
proved, however, the country DOCTOR s
labors have been lessened even though
his rewards may not have increased
in like ratio.
A few years ago the country doctor
settled in small town where a prac-
tice was assured because there was no
one else to aid the afflicted. Usually
there were a few families who could
afford to pay for medical attention,
but there were many mora who had
little money or property and who
could pay small fees only by deny
ing themselves the necessaries Of life.
Into such community came the
Young physician, and his life-work
began in earnest. Calls came slowly
at first, but ever faster as his skill
became known, and where one horse
and buggy had been MORE than
enough to make his calls, two we're
necessary, especially in the winter
and spring when the roads were
heavy.
Communication was difficult and
when there was an accident or some
one was taken suddenly i'll, the only
way Of smmonin& aid was by harm
essing a horse, and driving or riding
miles perhaps, for a doctor who might
be at home or who might be equally
far away in another direction. When
he was found, it mattered not how
tired he was, what time Of night,
how bad the weather, he must jump
into his buggy and hurry to the bed
side. sometimes reaching it too late
to be of service. This is a phase Of
country life which has kept many
people living in cities when they
would have preferred life on small
farm.
In these days factor has been IN
troduced into country life which has
done a great deal to relieve this isola-
tion, and to bring the dwellers in the
open country into closer touch, not
only with the doctor but also with his
neighbors and with, the people with
whom he does business. That factor
is the telephone. and the first people
to realize its possibilities were the
country doctors. All over the South
there are doctors offices, with from
one to ten telephone lines radiatine
