Why?
Why? 1515 East Adams Street. Phoenix. July IS. 1921.

To the Editor::
 Can any fairminded, unprejudiced person outside the medical fraternity explain any good reason for the amendment to the chiropractic law depriving the chiropractors of the use of the title doctor in their profes- sionaI work B
 F. Sturges Allen, A. B.. LIB, gen. eral editor of Webster's New Interna- tional dictionary, in his synonyms and Antonyms," page 143. give the following definition of the word doc tor:
 "Doaor. N. physician, medical (collou.), doser (contemptuous). leech (archaic) healer (often spec). curer; spec. homeopath. homeopathist. alie- path, allopathist, osteopath, hydro path. hydropathist, surgeon. dentist. chiropodist alienis, ocultist, aurist. veterinarian. doctress (now rare)."
 Although the chiropath or the chi rcpractor is not specifically men toned in this list of synonyms, the chiropractor is no less a healer than the allopath or the homeopath or the osteopath or tde hydropeth or any other kind of c path: in fact, the much abused chiropractor has in all parts of the country affected cures little shot of miraculous after the allopaths. hoemopaths and osteopaths with their pills, serums, tonics. etc, had failed.
 Why has the law making body of this glorious state been so unjust as to deprive the chiropractors practice ing in this state to right to use the title of doctor to which they are in every way entitled? After having completed a difficult course of study including such studies as chiropractic principles, anatomy. histology. phy- siolcxy. symptomatology. bacteriol- , ogy, chemistry, diagnosis. hygiene. amining boards. Arizona is the only state, so far as know. that deprives the chiropractors of the right to use the title of doctor" May the day soon come when our honorable body of lawmakers will bot out this stain | by revoking the nefarious amendment that turned the trick.
 The people of our state are pro- i testing daily against this unjust law | by using the title when addressing the various practitioners now practicing | in this state. They will continue to
 do SO. despite any laws which may l forbid such practitioners to use the title on their name plate, cards. etc.
 Is this not sufficient evidence Of the ' unpopularity of the law? Is it nor | sufficient proof that they will cun- | tinue to use the title despite any laws

now even pay interest on their debt to the United States-about a billion in back interest is unpaid at this time-wiping the slate clean of the debt would accomplish no good at all. either for that nation, the United States or the rest of the world.
 A Possible Cure
 Some of the countries partaking of the German separations have sug- gested that In exchange for their ob- ligations to the United States that German bonds which some of our late allies hold. In supportof this idea. it is brought forward that by France. for instance. holding German bonds, and American holding French bonds, it makes just an extra transaction for the United States to get its dues. France collects from Germany, then the United States collects from France.
 The American government has been reluctant to turn back the direct obligations of our late allies in ex- change for the obligations of the late enemy nation. This is not because of fear that Germany would not be able to pay the interest charges and the principal of this obligation. in time, but because of the situation which arose out of the peace conference. By returning French bonds to Paris for instance and taking the equiva- lent in German obligations which France now holds, it would. it is feared, put the United States in very | much the same position as if it had joined the league or nations, lock stock. and barrel. The present ad- ministration and the present senate majority is opposed to this. The vir- 1 tual membership in the league would be because it would give the United I tates a direct and deep interest in preserving the solvency of the Ger man nation. The ramifications to l which this would give rise. govern i ment financial experts say. would | make necessary American participa- l ton in the affairs of Europe. with all | of their conflicting interests. to ar ] extent to which it is not thought the American people would countenance

THE TARANTULA
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE (CopyriGht. 1921. by Frank Cransl

There is a certain idea in industry which MT. George w. Hinman compared to the bite of the taran- tula.
 'It poisons common sense" he says, 'paralyzes son. and makes impossible any sober judgment in busi ness negotiations between labor and capital"
 The idea to which he refers is that the whole value of product is created by labor and therefore should belong to labor. Is it and old delusion~
 It is probably violent reaction against the still older deusion that labor had rights at all and only existed the charity of the employer One of these ideas is about as bad as the other.
 Bolshevism is at present the most conspicuous ample of the effect of the tarantula bite upon whole nation. In fact the underlying idea of Boshevism is prac- ticay just this that labor is the sole producer of values.
 It. was given certain amount of mystical pres tige by the confused writings of Karl Marx.
 In fact it is curious phenomenon that an idea does not have to be clear in order to be influential Not in ten thousand has ever read the works of Marx and of the thousands that have read them very few understand what he is driving at.
 Everybody today is talking about the Einstein theory, and you would have hard work to fipd any body who understands it. even if you armed with
 But this peculiar idea that the whole product of industry should belong to labor is admirably adapted to the natural envy of mankind and the soapbox orators and professional revolutionsts find it very handy
 As matter of fact the value of product is not due entirely to the aborer He is only the fact ors. On frontier farm in condition of savagery he might be the sole producer of values but in plex civilization other factors enter.
 Brains or managerial ability, capital proper toos and the cooperation of society, all have to do with the producing of values.
 And when you strip production down to bare labor you reduce it to barbarism.
 It would lead everywhere to the same end it has reached in Russia For the hand workers would not be satisfied with any wages, matter how high as MT. Hinman points out The whole product being theirs by rights, anything less that part of their compen sation has been withheld-stolen by manager em- ployer, capitalist.
 Intelligent and experienced labor leaders know the falacy of this proposition It is only small fringe of madmen who have been bitten by the tarantua and will be satisfied with nothing else than the destruction of civilization where any make profits than another.

 If the reorganized board fails. may well abandon aspirations toward merchant marine. and confess though have longer coast line than ary other nation in the world, we maritime people but must exist in subjection to countries which know how to build and sail ships
 There may have seemed the excuse of inexperi- ence for the bIundering and waste of the shipping beard in its earls stages. Beside politics entered into it.

to the contrary?
 The friends of the chiropractors, and they are legion. should work un- ceasingly to have this unjust amend ment repealed. Each and every one of these friends should write to the lawmakers, requesting a repeal of pathology. public health service and adjustology. etc, chiropractic colleges and schools then confer on their grad uates. provided. of course. they pass satisfactory examinations. the degree of ID.

The Debility of Foreign Trade

ton have been advanced by theorists, but all of them are rejected by gov ernment experts. Officials of the federal reserve board know that the age of, miracles is past. and caution against expecting a sudden. snapping back to normal conditions throughout tke world today. tomorrow, next month, or next year. The restoration will be gradual and slow. Some Eu ropean nations will never again reach the point where their standard of money will have the value it did before the world war.
 The situation can best be benefited only when the countries of Europe stop quarreling and fighting among themselves and settle down to hard work and saving. There have been cases where the nations there instead of trying to help each other and help themselves have apparently been bent on cutting each others economic throats. The parceling out of Europe into many new nations has given rise to much of this sort of thing. For instance, integral parts of the old Austro- Hungarian empire have been prime offenders. For a long time Hungary would allow none of its wheat to go to Austria, in retaliation A
 factured goods needed by Hungary reach that country. The Hungarians could not get the clothing and ma chinery they needed The Austrians could not get the food they needed. The situation benefited no one. and hurt both countries. and all other countries with which they have to have dealings.
 It has often been proposed that the United States government take big sponge and wipe clean the slate on which are chalked down the debts of foreign nations to the United States These debts are owed to us by our late allies. and the loans were neces-
 sary fo- the prosecution of the wal to a successful conclusion.
 Governmental experts are inclined to look upon this suggestion with the l idea that it would do little or no good | It would mean cutting down the fl | nancial obligations of certain foreigr | nations, but these experts say tha l. unless the common. every day citizer l of those lands benefited, it would dt no good. For instance. if forgiving th' l French debt to the United tates wer' | accomplished there would follow {
 Iessening of the tax burden on thu | French people. Unless the United | States government could dictate how l this should be done there would be m
 surety that the ameriorated taxe would help the ordinary French cit izen, or that the value of the Frencl | franc would be appreciated at all 1 which is the only way America coul'
 benefit from this transaction.

 WASHINGTON, July 19.-Disar- rangement of foreign exchange rates as an aftermath of the war is ad- mitted by financial authorities to be one of the greatest ills to be cured or at least improved before the world cAn be restored to normal.
 Domestic and foreign business are so closely allied that both must be considered together. They are so closely linked that much of the busi- ness depression of which constant complaint has been made can be traced directly to the fact that all foreign monies are at discount in relation to American dollars. Turn ing it around, and looking at the sit uation from the point of view other than American. a premium must be paid to buy American dollars.
 Experts of the government are of the belief that the greatest evil with which business has to contend in this foreign exchange situation Is the fIuctuation of values of foreign moneys in relation to American gold A purchase made abroad, to be paid for in 90 days, may find a material change in the exchaag. rate which makes the purchase cost either con- siderably more or considerably less than was bargained' for. The net re- suit of this has been to encourags ? gambling and speculation, buying f,outls with the idea tha. when the time came to pay for them. the cost in American money would be less.
 In the present situation. the na- tions whose money is depressed In value are not the only sufferers. The United States, whose money is at a premium, is hurt very badly. too. 0r n to pay for American goods on the basis of American money values. This materially cuts down the export of American goods, which in turn re- acts on the amount of production, and works on down the line so that there is an overpius of labor. and prices and wages are forced down, too by the operation of the law ot economics known as supply and de- mand.
 Foreign nations, with their money depreciated, look to other nations where the money standard is not SC high to supply their needs. As ar illustration suppose that France is in the market for a lot of wheat.
 The United States could supply this wheat and so could Argentina The price asked. let us say. is g 2 bushel in each case. However, the money of Argentina being at dis count of about 30 per cent compared to the American dollar, the Argentina price means that France can get tn wheat it desires from Argentina a what would amount in American money to s17o. Natu ally this bust ness goes to the south American re public.
