Just a Reminder

Several months ago the state legislature
very solemnly decreed that there should be an
investigation Of the manner in which number
of state armories had been constructed.
This building program had an aspect that
aroused more than a modicum Of criticism. 1t
had been carried out in defiance Of an opinion
of the attorney general that it was illegal to
bind the citizens to pay vast sums Of money by
the plan which was followed.
The fact that bank with building com
pany as subsidiary had played very I'M
portant part in the matter and that the profits
of these concerns ran into stable fortune
was disclosed by the lawmakers.
There was general feeling that instead
Of the militia owning armories, the owners OF
armories had come to own the militia.
There was pledge from the Governor at
that time that he would furnish funds for
critical survey of the whole matter, going into
the construction of the buildings by experts IN
order to ascertain how far they had been built
according to specifications and as to the reason
ableness of their cost.
1t is true that the state does not own these
armories They are held by trustees. The state,
it is asserted, had moral obligation somewhere
in the premises. although the moral obligation
becomes somewhat dimmed by the fact that
the attorney general had ruled in advance that
there could be no legal obligation
There seems to be some delay IN the
promised inquiry Instead of experts and IN
vestigation there have been threats to build
more buildings, a threat that aroused the ire
of the Governor.
Perhaps the Governor has forgotten the
matter. Apparently he has forgotten that the
commission of the adjustant- general who aided
and abetted this scheme expired months ago
and that he holds his job from day to day by
sufferance
Either the legislature had promise Of an
inquiry or it was mistaken. The good old sum-
mer time ought to be the proper season for
making the investigation which was deemed
necessary last winter.

Brokers Loans

The total Of brokers loans according to state
ment just published. is S1000o0000 greater than il
was when the Reserve board issued its warning on
Feb g. against the Of credit in stock mar
ket speculation. The figure is s5769 900 000 within
s24,O0OOOO Of the au-time peak of March 90
Thus, five months after the board inaugurated its
policy of attempting to curb speculation and to take
credit out Of the stock market even greater amount
Of credit is being employed Reductions in the volume
Of loans followed the boards warning putting them
at one time much as $5Oo,OOOOOO below the peak,
but lately the trend has been upward.
The sudden increase, according to the financial
writer's, is due largely to special conditions chief
among them the huge offering of new securities, to
which stockholders of number of large corporations
had been given the right to subscribe. Perhaps this
is the the situation has caused so little COM
ment.
Those who have been critical of the boards policy
however are disposed to cite the figures proof of
The boards failure Friends of the board retort that
there is no knowing to what heights the speculative
fever might have gone had not the board interviewed
There is wide disagreement among economists and
bankers on the entire subject.
One thing seems assured, however If stock market
speculation continues and huge amounts of credit are
employed in supporting it, congress will be heard from
1t is unlikely that any action will be taken before
the regular session, but already various proposals
have been made notably that OF Senator Glass to put
tax Of per cent all stocks sold within sixty days
of the time Of their purchase
We may expect the reserve system to be the sub
ject Of much discussion in congress- and perhaps of
inquiry and legislation unless the situation changes in
the next few months.

The High Cost of Doctoring

The American Medical Association, at its conven-
ton Portland Ore is giving attention to the high
cost of medical care The subject is the principal
before the meeting, as it should be.
It is commended and apparently with justification,
that persons of moderate means can not get proper
medical attention because the cost is prohibtve The
poor are even worse off, although for them many free
clinics are available.
Laboratory studies surgical attention and the en-
poyment of specialists beyond the reach of the
masses The cost of hospital care alone, despite the
large expenditures of municipalities and states, and
many benefactions to hospitals. stable item. If
these things can not be had the sick persons alterna
tive is neglect resort to quacks or the use of nostrums
And so the doctors are wondering what they should
do about the situation, which DR.. DIN West secre-
tary of the association described "the strain of
the great transitional stage in the life of our country
which the medical profession, in common with all
other groups of society. is feeling.
Doctors must live, like their patients, and it has
been costing them more and more, as it has every
body else yet gey under obligations to make their
knowledge and care available to every one, whether
he is clerk in store or a millionaire" he says.
Dr. Malcolm L. Harris of Chicago, president elect
Of the association proposes that physicians OF county
comparatively organize own control and operate pay
clinics profits from which would go to pay those who
do the work Only persons unable to pay regular fees
would be served at the clinic in the beginning and
they would be charged basis Of income.
The city or county would provide for those unable
TO pay anything Eventually, Dr. Harris believes, the
same sort of service should be extended to homes and
hospitals.
II is probable that the entire subject will be studied
during the next year and a report laid before the
association embodying definite recommendations
Whether Cr Harris proposal is adopted, or some
other it is fortunate that the medical profession Is
alive to the situation and is striving to meet it.

BRADDOCK'S DEFEAT
July 8

NNE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
~ FOUR years ago today, on July
9, 1855, General Edward Braddock
was mortally wounded and his
British regulars routed in a battle
near Fort Duquesne in the French
and Indian war.
England sent Braddock TO Vir-
ginia to lead an army of British
troops against the French who we're
claiming the Ohio valley.
Accompanied by Colonel Washing
ton, who was later to lead the CONT
mental army, Braddock advanced
from Fort Cumberland and began
to climb the rough ridges Of the
Alleghenies, planning to attack Fort
Duquesne.
Three hundred ax-men cleared
the way. Behind them came the
British regulars, a glittering army
of scarlet and steel Braddock
despised- the back woods method Of
fighting and disregarded Washing
tons warning of possible ambush.
Suddenly, the English advance
was greeted with a terrific war
whoop and was fired upon from
both sides by an unseen foe, while
the French attacked in front.
Braddock fell, mortally wounded,
and the British regulars we're cut
to pieces.
The Virginians, with Washington
at their head, saved half the Brit
ish army Of 1900 men.

No Camoufage

Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania advances the loea
that It might be good thing to take the tariff OF
the American auto industry entirely. 1t might-n
not used as camoufage
There IS a IS per cent tariff on autos. but lew
persons know it. It has not helped or hurt American
auto manufacturers one iota, nor has it affected
auto prices TO the public.
The reason of course. IS that American inventive
and organization genius compelled to work at high
speed in the auto industry because of competition has
enabled manufacturers to put out cars which no Tor
eisners can match, either in price or quality the
few foreign autos imported are no better than
American makes but they sell at prices so tremendous
that they are good way of showing of wealth.
So the auto tariff is useless. But it is inquired IN
the general rate-average Of protection. That aver
age is so high in the house biu-about 10 per cent
that It has aroused a nationwide protest
From a political standpoint the senate might re-
move useless tariffs such that autos, retain or
increase the unconscionable house rates on other
products and still point triumphantly to bill which
would look less extortionate than the house bill But
it only would look that way. In reality it would be
worse.
The people want actual reduction Of the house
rates.

AT the other end there are thin watery substances
