ton OF pu5!!c isnominy"
A bill aimed at physicians by the
Bremen county representative is likely
to be closely scanned because of the
activity with which he has waged Var
against the doctors. However. there
are points in this bill which will ap-
peal to the thoughtful public. There
seems no good reason for secrecy where
a physician shares in the surgeons Zee;
the physician it seems should give tes-
timony wherever such evidence viii not
bring Humiliation and public ignom-
my and the provision against the de-
tense fund is in lire with the conclus-
ions OF the insurance department OF
Iowa which condo rnns such agreements
as contrary to good public policy.
AS 20 the Doctors fee bill for serv-
ices rendered the physicians are GER
tainly entitled to fix their fees il la
Dor union Is entitled to Ak a scale OF
wages. The fee bills are not usually
exorbitant Collections are rarely
pressed. No physician Expresses his
debtors. On the contrary the books Of
no profession or business can show SO
much done for a little and SO much
done without hope of remuneration as
the medical mans. The doctor and his
patient may we'll be left to make thar

There IL no oppression to be legLslated

serious difficulty Iowa faces on account

gerously lax. Why not suppress Mr..

THE FARMERS SHAME THE CITY.

Penn is said 10 have the best roads
OF any township in Jefferson county
this spring. The reason is that her
people use the drag and use it with a
system. Friday practically all the
highways Of tina, township were drag
ged simultaneously and the entire work
was done in two hours. Lois is sec
ond season the people Of this town
shop have worked on this plan. and
they seem to like it, while those who
take part in the labor have good rea-
sons TO be proud Of its results. The
roads Of Penn township are not only
better at this particular time than
those of other localities, but they are
in better condition TO Withstand the
spring rains and will require much
smaller expenditure of money later in
the season.
If Penn township can have this work
of road dragging completed so early In
the season, why can not other town
ships, and particularly why can't Fair

were in Fairfield Monday We're point
