MANN WEAKENS ON
DOCTORS TRUST.
Congressman Not Certain That
Physicians Supporting Plan
Are on Right Track.

New York. Aug. lo.-There has come
over the mind Of Representative James
r. Mann of Illinois a great change re-
gardng the advisability Of further push
ing his bill creating national bureau OF
health Mir. Manns bill proposed to CON
solidate practically all the health func-
lions Of the government, excepting those
of the army and navy and the amalga-
mated engine which would thus be Gre
ated was expected To be the means Of
giving to the allopa thic doctors of the
country the control of all schools Of medi-
cine they desired.
Mr. Mann has not been convinced that
the doctors who are supporting his bill
which was introduced by request. are on
the right track. 1t is understood that he
has been impressed with the character
of the opposition to the creation Of a bu
reau of health. which is quite as strong
as that to the owen bill, creating a de-
partment of health, The physicians are
still pressing him to stand by them, but
there is little prospect.
Mr.. Mann is now preparing a bill on
lines entirely different from those of his
bill 'by request Of last winter 1t is
also far different from that introduced
by Senator owen of Oklahoma, which
was SO strongly supported by the entira
advisory board and personnel of the
American Medical association.
So far as outlined Mr.. Mann desires
not bureau of health. nor department
Of health, nor Yet some bill which will
place the medical profession of the coun-
Try in the hands of the allopathic ply
sicians. He desires merely to have the
present agencies of the marine hospital
service and tho bureau Of chemistry
make Investigations OF epidemics, water
pollution questions and other broad mat
tiers of hygiene, and issue bulletins for
the information of the public, regularly.
as is now done by the department Of ag.
riculture for tho farmer.
Until Representative Manns bin is
completed no one concerned in this
legislation Is likely to pass on It, be-
cause there may by just the same oh
jections- to the new scheme that have
been found to those already launched
for the purpose OF suppressing medi-
cal freedom and compelling those need
| ing medical treatment to have re-
course to the allopathic doctors. Mr.,
Mann, however, has proved progress
| sive and constructive statesman, and
he may provide some plan of govern
mental cooperation between the bu-
reaus Of Surgeon General Wyman of
the marine hospital service, and DR.
II, w. Wiley of the bureau OF chemis-
try. and the various State boards OF
health which will obtain the support
of the very men who are now opposing
the doctors trust legislation.
But the fact that Mr., Mann Is lcav-
ing the doctors to draft their own bills
is the hardest blow they have yet re-
ceived Senator owen OF Oklahoma Is

WHY PRICES
ARE HIGH
Special to the Record.

Special to the Record.
Washington, Jah. 1S.-Why Is the
cost of living increasing s fast in the
United States?
In answer to this most popular
question of the day. p-roteetionists and
p-rotectionists newspapers are citing
every possible explanation save aigh
tarin rates. President Taft declares
the increase in tae cost of living is
due to the ''proportionate increase in
the output of gold and Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, at the command
of Senators Aldrich, Smoot ct al. Is
now engaged in making an "~investi-
CATION" for the purpose of white
washing protection and fastening the
blame on the corner grocer.
The only place where there is any
doubt as to what is the principal
cause of the increase in the cost of
living in the United States is in this
country. The leading economists of
the world are united on the subject.
Almost without a dissenting voice,
the great thinkers of Il day attri-
butte the fact that the cost of living
is increasing twice as fast in the Tn
tied States as in other countries, par
ticularly Great Britain, to our protec-
tive system and the resultant mono
poles.
The protectioniSts of the United
St.,tes are the only protectionists who
re use to concede that the import du-
ty is paid by the The lead
ing protectionists of Europe, includ-
ing Joseph Chamberlain of England,
admit that as a general rule the price
of an article is enhanced by about the
amount of the import duty, or tax
as Europeans designate a tariff.
The writer attended a political
meeting at Manchester, England, last
summer. during which a workman in
terrupted a protectionist speaker to
ask a question. IF we should change
our policy of free trade for one of pro-
tectioh," asked the workman. Would
not the cost of living be i~ncreased2'
There is no doubt about that" repli-
ed the speaker. frankly. But You
must realize that il the home anu
f~acturer is allowed to charge higher
prices for his products. he a and
