EXAMINATION FEE
MILWAUKEE MEDICAL SOCIETY
REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH
EUGENIC MARRIAGE LAW.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE
Milwaukee Medical Society has decid-
ed not to comply with the state eugenic
marriage law providing that all can
didates for marriage must prove their
physical fitness by the production OF a
physicians certificate. The doctors
say they cannot afford to give such
an examination for SO, the statutory
price. The attorney general ruled
that the doctors cannot be forced to
issue certificates for SO.
If doctors refuse to issue certificates
there can be no marriage solemnized
in Wisconsin after Jan. 1, except by
securing certificates from the regular
county physicians, who will be able
to make the required tests through the
State Board of Health. With the
state, however, there will be great
delay attendant upon all applications
for marriage licenses.
