\ TENDENCY or THE TIMES.

The Missouri legislature not only refused 10
acccde to the state, medical associations dc
mand for largely Increased appropriation, but
made substantial cuts In the appropriations II
did allow. compared with the appropriations OF
previous years
This Is symptomatc OF a tendency OF the times.
Legislators are losing patience with the propn-
gandiNa. Slowly but surely they are demand
ing logical reason In harmony with the correct
purpose or government before approprating the
peoples money. and one and all are taking some
pains to slap rofossIonalnm that seeks to seize
on the authority OF the state to force its Ideas
and practices on the public
We think, and we hope. this tendency will
grow from year to year; until there has come n
radical retreat from untenable ground already
occupied. Let us free business from too much
government and government from too much
professionalism. The result will be beneficial
to all concerned.
