he bad business policy. This answer appears sound, and it no doubt Woulu satisfy q person easily satisfied
 But let us dig a little deeper ana see if the facts disclosed by the dlg- pinc help the fee-splitter. The inn mediate answer to the fee-splltter IS this: If fee-splitting is a jusufaple transaction. then let those who prac- tice it come right out in the open Let the physician concerned tell the patient that the fee is to be split, ana the basis on which it is split.
 Theoretically, this is partial rem edv. but. practically, it fails, because nobody will do it, or practically mo- body. An open ee-splitter confesses his incompetence. What happens under the present method? The very competent operators do not split fees They know they are competent ana thev get, and will get, the business which comes to them on basis of merit. The operators who split fees are second and third grade operators. Therefore a patient who is being dis rOsed of by fee-splitters, among lee spIitters. may be certain that the best he can get is one of the best among the second or third grade men. He can be certain that he never has a chance to get the services of any hlgh grade man, of any man good enough

 picnic though lacking possibly the attendance of many of the settlers of the valley who are eligible to membership in the society, was q complete success, and the several hundred or more pioneers and friends who did attend spent a most en- joyable day, in the forenoon renew ing and formulating new acquain- tances, at noon partaking of an elaborate picnic dinner spread be- meath the huge shade trees, and in the afternoon listening to the splen- ulO auuTeSSeS or vice HIeSlOeUl MAT shall Congressman Hayden and

 The first coil. then, MT Patient IS that you get at best second grade man, though you pay the price or first grade service.
 An operation is not a light matter. Operations are to be avoided where it is good judgment to avoid them At best they are the lesser of evils
 With the above statement in mind, what is your answer to the follow ing questions?
 If physicians are battering patients among fee-splitters as commercial transaction, will not unnecessary oper- ations be the inevitable result?
 If I physician diagnoses an infect ed appendix and sends the patient to a fee-splitter, is it not possible that the diagnoses will be confirmed, re- gardless of the condition found. and an operation done?
 To summarize:
 The results of fee splitting are seV- eral The patient of the fee splitter pays more for the service than the operator in the case is accustomed to receiving The fee collected for like service must satisfy two men, the operator and the attending physician as well as pay the expenses of the unnecessary attendance of the phy- sicians on the trip to town.

 These are all illustrations of fee splitting. The legal right of the broker to his fee. even when he had no direct right in the transaction. has

 has recently been placed on the statute books.
 Among other states having laws against fee-splitting are Ohio and Iowa do not know that the legality of any of these laws has been passed upon bv q supreme court.

Old Settlers Gather For
 Annual Outing At Tempe

Tempe was elected president for the ensuing year and Mrs. J. C. Good win was reelected secretary. w. A. Moeur, state land commissioner, IS the retiring president.
 Chas. o. Austin, taking up his new duties as president, presided over the afternoons program and in a pleasing address extended to the guests of honor the societys wei come. In brief outline he re- counted the history of the organiza tion and closed with the expression of his hope that the next reunion might be larger and better than any held in the past.
 Congressman Carl Hayden was first introduced on the speakers program and after briefly relating his story of the history and growth of this city and of the valley. he took up the story of what the Arizona repre- sentatives to congress have under taken and what they have accom- plished. Vice President Marshall had consented to his presence at the re- union with the strict understanding that he would be called upon for nc address. but upon the suggestion of MT Hayden and the enthusiastic CT dorsement of the audience, his ef- forts to evade the call of the chair man were without avail.
 Mir Marshall complimented the sO- ciety upon it's plan of organization and discussed the benefits to be de- rived from the old settlers of a com munity holding together under Sucs an organization. He was enthusias- tic for a continuance of the society Universal peace was discussed by tn, vice president and his solution t'

As a class, he is operated on by man of little training and small eX- perience, by a second rate man, un- able to get business on an open. straight forward, merit basis. He is in danger of being operated on need lessly, with danger to his life and health.
 The man who is cared for by the fee-splitters does not get a fair deal, This is a part of the reason for this article. No physician can practice fee-solitting without degenerating. In time he becomes known as fee splitter. That hurts his standing. It makes people suspicious of him, of his opinions and advice. Accepting or paying secret commissions reacts on the moral and mental tone Of the physician. Acknowledging to himself that he gets business because he pays for it. he will not work as hard to perfect himself, and to keep abreast of the time, as he otherwise would Fee-splitting is bad for the men who practice it. That is a part of the reason for this article.
