BEST SURGEONS SECURED

Innovation Justified on Theory
Every Child Has Right to
Relief From Handicaps

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 2S.-Kansas
has decided To aid each and every
crippled child In the state. The state
board of health and the Kansas Uni.
vsrsity Medical school will soon put
the plan In operation.
A year ago the state completed the
building OF hospital at Rosedale for
It's medical school, and At that hos
pital all cases OF any kind are treated
free. The university employs some OF
the most skillful surgeons in the west
for its medical work. and often scien-
lists from eastern states are imported
TO assist
The state offers to take any crippled
child OF any citizen and give the best
treatment possible 70 cure its defect.
but now II IL proposed 10 make the
sending OF crippled children compul-
sorry. either. TO the state hospital.
where the treatment will be free, or
TO some other hospital, where the par.
ents shall pay for the operation.
The proposed plan contemplates the
removal OF every defect in child
that science can remove and giving
the youngsters an equal chance with
the healthy boys and girls OF their
own ages.
The boards OF commissioners in
each county are TO investigate the case
OF every crippled boy or GIRL con-
genital or accidental, and see that the
crippled one Is sent to the hospital as
fast as the hospital can accommodate
the patients and the surgeons can do
the necessary work.
The proposed compulsory plan was
evolved as result OF the refusal OF
several parents to allow their children
10 be sent to the hospital. The state
Is willing and anxious to do the work
now and promises the most skillful
surgery in the west and the best care
that can be given.
The Kansas courts have uniformly
held that the state has more interest
in the growth and development OF the
child than the parents, and that II is
the duty OF the state TO see that every
child has an equal opportunity. In
some cases. the courts have held that

EXPERT WITNESSES GET
ONLY REGULAR FEES

Physicians giving expert testimony
in criminal cases must content them
selves with the ordinary fee paid wit
nesses according to an opinion rem
dered today by Assistant Attorney
General Van Wrinkle at the request Of
DR.. l.. F. Williams, OF Westfall.
Williams is summoned to attend a
grand jury session and give expert
testimony, and he desired to know II
he could not decline to do 80 in the
event that he was not rendered an
expert witness fee. After a search Of
the statutes the assistant attorney
general has concluded that there is no
law authorizing expert fees in crlm-
lDal cases, but that physician when
summoned must attend and give testl-
mony and can secure for his labor no
greater fee than that paid ordinary
witnesses.
The assistant attorney-general also
rendered another opinion which was
to the effect thata a nonresident
