SERIOUS PROPOSITION

The present war in which nearly
every nation of the world is engaged
presents a very serious proposition
id many respects. A great many
people have not begun 10 realize the
seriousness Of the same. We have a
stern reality to face which the sooner
our people face and appreciate the
better. The present crisis demands
the maximum energy of the people
of the United States in every walk
of life and further particularly de-
mands the activity Of those who
have been prone to stand idle and
let the other fellow work. Tie

This war demands the energy and
cooperation Of every person in tins
country in some capacity or another.
The government of the United

The South Dakota legislature is going after the
high of living from angle it has a bill
under consideration which provides that any surgeon
who removes a vermiform appendix which is found
be diseased shall receive no pay the opera
ton. In order prevent disputes, it is made the
duty of every surgeon who has in his possession any
appendix appendices other than his own forward
such appendix appendices to the state laboratory
duly marked and tagged for examination and a
report.
If for instance appendix No 223 is found not to
be diseased. the surgeon whom this exhibit is
charged told that he collect no fee for its re-
moval but, if the other hand the appendix is
found to be in poor condition. he may collect what
ever he from it's former owner 1t is possible one
may assume, for the surgeon to cover the cost of
operation in some manner regardless of the law, if
it becomes law, and the inevitable result may to
deprive residents of South Dakota something really
valuable.
For instance surgeon who might operate in
good faith for appendicitis might tempted on find
ing the appendix in healthy condition. to remove
section Of the spleen that he might cha rye
something for his time and the anaeshetic used May
not some South Dakotan find his interior almost un-
furnished if this bill becomes law?
We do not know whether it is in the mind Of any
Of our Arizona legislators to make the physicians of
this state prove that they worthy Of their hire
but If they should do So they ought to go little
farther than the South Dakota bill goes 1t is said
that careless or absent minded physicians operating
for appendicitis sometimes leave the tools of their
trade lying around in the abdominal cavity to the
discomfort Of the patient and to their own loss Thus
re-cpening of the subject becomes necessary for
which another charge is made Any bill that may be
introduced into our Legislature should regard such an
incident as an uncompleted job and the physician
shoud be compelled to perform that operation his
own time and at his expense Or if another
physician should be called in he should be allowed
the recovered instruments his remuneration and
their former should be left without redress
