PASS FEE SPLITTING BILL
Legislature Approves Measure of Inn
portance to Medical Men.

The house of representative Mon
day night passed the bill to prohibit
fee splitting between physicians and
surgeons. The bill was passed by the
senate several days ago under the
name of the Troutman bill Under
this law no physician or individual or
institution can secretly accept money
Tor sending or referring a case to
surgeon or to a hospital for a surgical
operation. Neither can a surgeon Sc
cretly pay, or agree to pay, to a physi-
clan, an institution, or an individual,
any commission or rebate for having
referred case for treatment or oper-
alton.
the practice of fee splitting has come
because of the bartering and dicker-
ing between physicians and surgeons
over patients who are in need of sur
g1caI operations. One need not pos
sess great knowledge of human ma
ture to appreciate the fact that out of
such competition there has grown
gross immortality and much unneces-
sary surgery.
Ethical surgeons all over the United
states nave raised their voices in pro-
test against these degrading and vile
methods which were fast bringing the
entire medical profession into dis
repute. Surgeons who are not will
ing to employ these immoral methods
to obtain work are met by the unfair
competition of their fellows who are
Wiling 10 pay any physician or oSteo-
path who will send them a case.
So out of this has grown the ma
tion-wide scandal in the medical pro-
fession- And state legislatures in ev-
cry state in the union have been asked
to pass a law to stop the utterly
reprehensible wrong of fee splitting
Kansas is the third state to enact such
a law.
This bill was one of the most i'm
portant measures before the present
session Of the legislature, and the peo-
pie of Kansas are to be congratulated

SENATE RESOLUTION.
Upper House Asks for New Conference
Committee at Once.

The senate's resolution asking for a
new conference committee and avoid
ing an extra session of the legiSla-
ture passed this afternoon, follows:
Whereas, differences exist be-
tween the two houses of this Iegisla-
ture in the matter of appropriations
that thus far have not been adjusted,
and
be had on the various points of diff
ference an extra session of the legis-
lature is inevitable, and
Z Whereas, it is the sense of the sem
ate that such an extra session would
be expensive, undesirable and a thing
to be avoided if within the realm of
possibility. and
Whereas, the conference commit
tee from the ways and means commit
tees of the two bodies failed to reach
an agreement,
Therefore be it resolved by the
senate, the house concurring, that the
house is requested to appoint a COM
mittee of five cOnferees to meet and
counsel with a committee of three
confereeS to be appointed by the sem
ate, and that this committee be ear
nestly urged by this resolution to at
tempt TO compose the differences
now existing between the two bodies
and to reach an agreement in the mat
ter of appropriations that will pre-
clude the necessity of an extra session
of the legislature; and
BE it further resolved that if the
house concars in this resolution, the
joint committee of the two bodies
shall meet Immediately after its ap-
pofntment and shall continue in ses-
sion until it has reached agree
nent, or until it finds that an agree
ment is impossible.
BE 1t further resolved that it is the
sense of the two houses that all reso-
buttons looking to an adjournment of
the legislature shall be withheld un-
til some report is had from the pro-
posed commit tee
