\ WESTERN HEALTH
PROBLEM.
CTerre Haute. Ind star.

CTerre Haute Ind STAR
California has bill before con-
gress that provides for the granting
of a subsidy for approved institu-
tons in that state that care for nom
resident tuberculosis cases. The
problem that inspires this measure
is a serious one not only in Cali
fornia, but in North Carolina, Tex
as. New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado
and other states TO which tuber-
culosis victims are accustomed to
go in search of health.
There is no law to prevent such
persons going where they will, and
it is the common testimony OF peO-
pie familiar with the situation that
the great majority postpone their
venture into milder climate until
too late: also that a large number
come with insufficient funds. 1t is
asserted that nearly one-sixth of the
deaths from tuberculosis in south
western cities are of those who have
lived less than 30 days in the place.
The figures of the Los Angeles
county hospital show fewer than so
state residents out of 1000 patients,
and it is stated that from 40 to 80
per cent of all the deaths from tu-
berculOsis in the states named are
of destitute persons from other
states. There is an annual migra-
ton of from 10, 900 to 10. 900 tuber-
culosis persons 10 the western and
southern states. Western Texas is
said to have about 10000 such nom
residents at this time.
Each of these states has been
forced TO take measures for protect
ing the health of their own citizens
and that OF the unaffected travel
ing public. and tuberculosis suffer
ers are no longer admitted freely
TO hotels and boarding places as
formerly. Such precautions have
not yet been taken on railroads, but
public opinion will doubtless COM
pei these in time. It's hardly likely
that "A measure like the one pro-
posed will become a law, but il
might be made possible for any
state which has become a Mecca
for these sufferers to recover the
cost of the care Of the INDECENT ones
from the states from which they
came. Certainly il is unjust that
the refuge states should bear the
burden.
