Quack Doctors Hit In
Speech by DIR. Martin
(continued from Page onel

was introduced in the legislature on
February L. The bill ought to be
passed. 1t was written by the best of
attorneys and approved by prominent
surgeons.
"The bill requires those who would
practice the healing art in Arizona to
pass a basic science examination. In
other words it requires them to be edu-
Gated"
DR.. Martin said that the scientific
medical profession of the state was re-
nowned above the average and known
for it's learning. He added, however,
that the recognized physicians were
Indifferent to the protection of them
selves and said they should get behind
the bill. He said that his speech was
in no way an attack on the recognized
physicians of the state.
MEN who practice medicine should
be required to prove their education, .
DR. Martin continued You would be
the last people in the world to get a
mining engineer out here who is not
educated You wouldn't get an engineer
of the 'hurch' type who says there is
hunch And yet there are hundreds of
the hunch society practicing medicine
in this state.
This bill, if passed, would result in
every eastern physician sending more
people to this climate for Illnesses and
to rest. We are not going to send them
unless we know that they are to be
protected The medical law in the
state west of you is so rotten that we
wouldn't send any patient there.
Thursday 40 quack doctors, irregu-
lars and crooks went to the senate to
make plea that the bill be killed. The
other side has a paid lobby to block the
bill. We can't have paid lobby, but
it is up to the recognized physicians
and the citizens of the state to get be-
hind that bill and secure it's passage"
DR.. Martin termed the climate in
Arizona as the most salubrious and de-
lightful in the world. He said that the
climate has resulted in eastern physi-
clans sending thousands of patients
here yearly to regain there health or
rest.
In thanking DR.. Martin for his ad-
dress, Guy Crouch, chairman, said:
1--WE can assure you, DR.. Martin, that
there is not single, man practicing
illegal medicine in Douglas and not a
physician who is not graduate of rec
ognized medical institutions"
The Kiwanis club presented DR.. Mar
tin with a paper weight in the shape
of horned toad nodded from copper.

PLAN STARTS FOR MARKING OF
PLACES MADE FAMOUS THROUGH
/" "AIMEE"; TOURISTS WANT 1T

Agitation for the placing of markers
on the different places in and near
Douglas that were made famous by the
appearance here of Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson was started last evening at an
informal meeting of a number of the
Mcpherson committee and officers and
special investigators who carried on
the work of probing the many angles
of the case here. These men point out
that tourists coming to Douglas are
reminded on every hand that this is
where She Walked" and they imme-
diately want to see the different build
ings and localities that were for many
weeks connected in internationally
broadcast news stories with the Nc
Pherson case.
The men interested are planning to
take UP their idea with the Borderland
Climate club and the Chamber of Com
merce and Mines within a few days.
Local taxi drivers report that they
make many trips to Aqua Prieta with
tourists who want to see the Gonzales
home where Mrs Mcpherson first re-
ceived aid after her walk on the desert.
Many ask to be shown the hospital
where she was cared for and others
want to see the police station where
the officers first realized that the most
widely sought person in the world had
arrived at their door.
The officers and committeeman state
that numbers of instances have been
brought to their attention of tourists
who want to go into Mexico and see
for themselves the country over which
the woman evangelist walked. They
ask to be taken to the Rurales shack
where the tracks made by the evan.
gelist were trampled by dozens of
newspapermen, and Detectives, s-..
Some of the men intimately con-
neeted with the case since it's start,
being officers, have every opportunity
of getting in touch with tourists and
one of these men told an interesting
story at the meeting last night to
illustrate what some people think
about the matter.
A tourist stopped at the chamber
of commerce and got one of the big
yellow stickers. He pasted it on the
wind shield of $4,000 car and turning
to the officer who was standing by
said, What did you people of Douglas
ever do for Aimee? She sure put you
on the map"

For Effective Work

The police department has received large shipment of tear

These evidences of looking ahead and making ready for

Whatever may yet be lacking to put police force in the
best Of shape, Chief Hesse should make dgen efforts
obtain that the responsibility for unpreparedness may
saded upon him should shocking events occur undesirable
conditions arise @
Congress should be asked through the Commissioners to
equip the police department with the best and test auto
mobiles and motorcycles and among the autos should be
armored ones
It is fashionable to ccise policemen they fail to cope
with crime conditions situations but officers must be
equipped to do this before they be charged with inef
cheney Modern criminals keep ahead modern policemen and
police equipment and that's why they often succeed in their
plans.
The Washington police force has long lacked
automobiles and motorcycles These machines become old and
dlapdaed not suitable for the work they do Police
thus badly handicapped These things may be had by
the Commissioners and police heads putting up Congress
the responsibility for adequate appropriations
With sufficient equipment for the department then

as fast as possible.
Keeping criminals and suspects under constant surveillance
teaching them that the police force is awake another

and women nervous and movngmoving away from the city
When Major Hesse has, step by STEP prepared his force
