In noting the states in which are
located the greatest number of places
zoned, one is impressed by the good
company ii state would be in were it
to Join the movement. Those states,
in order Of standing, are New Jersey,
New York. Illinois, Califbrnia. Ohio.
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, The coming
enabling act ian Connecticut is not a
general one. New Britain would have
TO get Legislative approval before any
coming plan would become effective
but the work of preparing u coming
plan requires thorough study and due
consideration, The city has no more
than sufficient time before the next
session of the legislature to consider
all aspects of the matter and TO for
mulate a plan that would be wise
from all points OF view.
The deeper the matter is gone into
the greater appear its advantages and
the more dim become the objections
to ii. The fact that there is at pres
ent no enabling act giving this city
the right TO adopt coming plan
should not delay the movement. 1t
should be ready, made into thor
oughly approved plan. boforc time for
the legislature to meet in order that
there may be no delay in getting the
states approval to the action the city
would like to take.
There should be no faint of politics
attached to this movement 1t is in
spired purely by a desire to do now
what all cities will do eventually-to
do it now because in the case of New
Britain it is at the period of its
growth when the greatest benefits will
be derived from 1.-THE time when
the city will be growing from one of

THE MEDICAL MATTER.

The New York press has begun TO
take notice Of what Governor Tenn
plcton calls THE greatest scandal in
the history OF the state" namely the
alleged practice Of medicine in Con-
nectieut by men claiming to be
physicians, properly qualified but
who are not. One metropolitan daily
blames the legislature for lax regua-
ton, another blames the legitimate
physicians for not properly protecting
their profession and demanding more
stringent legislation or at least more
strict enforcement of the laws.
Physicians who have the proper
conception OF their profession con-
slider their work the sort which re-
quires often self sacrifice, constant
devotion TO it, and the highest ideals.
The code of ethics of the physician
having these ideals is a high one. 1t
is not difficult to see how man en-
gagged in this work, conscious of his
own neutrality-suspicious., hesitates 10
become militant in providing barriers
| against dishonest men who would en-
ter his field. He does not care 10 be-
come a lobbyist in the interest or his
own pocket as people would put Il.
lie feels that attempts by him 10
make the bars more difficult to those
who would practice a profession 10
which he has already been admitted,
would be construed by the many 20
be unethical activity TO stifie competi-
ton. He is far more inclined TO
welcome formally At least a fellow
physician into the city Ia which he
practices than he is to begin an inves.
tigation Of that physicians creden-
tails. He feels that his work is a bit
above this sort Of thing
In other words the physician with
dignity and serious conception Of
his work often believes that protect
ing this profession from quacks is
work for the state TO do and not for
the individual physician or any group
Of them. The organization to which
he belongs may take formal steps to
inform the authorities Of the sort OF
legislation that is needed. But it is
difficult for such doctors to organize
and carry on any vindictive campaign
to protect themselves. This attitude
may be easily understood and sppre-
cisted.
But in an emergency such as this
it is we'll to emphasize the fact that
such forceful action by the physicians
would be welcomed and would be
thoroughly justified on the ground
that, by demanding proper legislation
and strict enforcement Of Il, the
physician would be protecting not
only himself but also the people Of
the state whose health and physical !
weli-being are in his care
