ExTORTIoN BY DOCTORS

Doctors in the large towns OF the
two Carolinas. following the example
of Baltimore and New York physi-
clans. have adopted unique scheme
for extorting fees from patients,
which for viciousness, is seldom
eQualled in the other professions.
Taking advantage OF the mental con-
dition OF patient. they send him to
their friends, who are specilists in
other lines, for examination. and be-
fore he knows whether he is des-
perately i'll person. or victim of his
imagination. the patient has paid $40
10 each specialist in the circle. A
good practitioner. in the beginning.
could have diagnosed his trouble
without exposing his purse to fur
ther inroads.
Many of these doctors do charity
work, but their collections from we'll
to-do patients more than offset their
loss for this kind of work.
There are general practitioners in
Monroe who could make as good, II
not better, examinations of afflicted
persons than these doctors in the
large cities il they only had the nee
essary equipment. 1t is proposed to
furnish them this equipment at the
Ellen Fitzgerald hospital. but from
the delays that are being experienced
IL looks like scores of Union county
people will be victimized by the med
ical circles of large cities before II is
completed.

A Crisis In Agriculture.

Back in the eighteenth century that famous
doctrine OF Nautilus the English political! econ
out.st, propoundcd, that the only way TO
the world from starvation--so rapidly
was the population growing In comparison TO
production. or means OF subsstence-was TO
reduce by laws the growth OF population.
Time has proved that there was no necessity
for concern about population outgTowing pro-
duc,on; that condition has been reserved for
tho present.
Least OF ell are We alarmist. but condi-
tons Of living-more correctly OF agrcui-
ture-must be given the careful consider ton
Of business men.
Food shortage problems. through lack Of
prOht incentive but more especially due to
lack Of farm labor, are not going to be aided
by the reduced acreagcs OF planting. Missouri
