Payments by Bureau
Exceed It's Receipts

Compensation paid out by the
North Dakota workmen's compensa-
ton bureau during the first three
months of this year exceeded pre-
miums receipts it was reported Satur-
day by r. E. Wenzel, chairman Of the
bureau.
Compensation payments totaled
$l29, 9,91955 and receipts $l14,1l0.19.
Figures announced earlier this
month by the bureau for the first
quarter Of 1888, as compared with
former years, appeared more favor
able than they do now after receipts
and expenditures have been comput-
ed. Wenzel said.
TT is hoped" he said, "that March
represents merely a temporary let
down, due to the bank holiday, and
other burdening factors Of . tenn
porary nature, and that April and
succeeding months will restore bal
ance. Should It prove otherwise, the
previous trend towards normalcy
noted In the accident reduction fig
ures given out will have to be revalu-
ed."

An lnebriated Jury
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune)

Although Senator Dills proposal to
test the potency of 80 per cent beer
by feeding it to a selected jury Of
average people is probably logical
enough. it is one that is not without
its humorous aspects. The object Of
the tests would be to discover whether
or not beer of that percentage Of alco-
holic content is Intoxicating and,
should the senatorial judges decide
that the beer produced that effect,
Senator Dill declares that neither he
nor any Of his colleagues could ap-
prove the bill until the constitution
is amended,
The prospect OF q selected Jury OF
tasters guzzling bottle after bottle Of
peer presents some rather perplexing
problems. all Of which are not en-
tirely judicial. BY what standard does
the senator propose to measure intoxi-
cation? II one man drinks two bottles
and begins to show signs of instability
and his neighbor MAKES away with
twice that amount, without any OBJ
vious signs Of loss Of control over his
faculties. which individual Is the SEN
ate going to accept as the arbiter?
Since the senator eliminates his COL
leagues as hardly average people, !"
what standard is he going to use in
picking his beer jury? Will any two
men IN the senate be able to agree on
the point at which a man ceases to be
sober?
But aside from any problem which
this jury idea for testing beer may
present. the proposal suggests the
questionable logic with which many
OF our legislators are approaching
modification OF the Eighteenth amend
ment. BY what stretch Of the imag-
nation can the senate or the house
interpret the popular demand for beer
to be one that would be satisfied with
beer that had no kick? II the vets
are willing to support the beer bill
with the vigorousness with which they
have, Is one to believe that they have
suddenly been converted to prohibi-
ton and are going to be satislied
with Notwithstanding beverage? II
that y the case they already have al
the near beer they need. How does
Senator Din expect to balance the
budget with "kickleas" beer?
II the senate Is looking for Q "kick-
less" beer it might g well abandon
its quest and certainly they should not

WHEN OLD FASHIONED TONSIL-
LECTOMY IS UNJUSTIFIED

ity, in the finest hospital.

Of clot, or possibly a droplet of fat.
entered the blood stream and lodged
in some small artery, perhaps a main
artery Of the brain or the heart or
the lung; the artery becomes plugged
and the circulation shut off.
Such an accident or complication
may occur from any wound. acciden-
tai. intentional. surgical, obstetrical,
or even from fracture Of bone with
out any surface wound. It Is no re-
Election on the skill or ability Of the
doctor nor on the method Of treat
ment employed.
In this instance, however. the
tragic outcome was reflection upon
the good faith OF the medical profess
sion OF the entire community as we'll
as the good faith of the doctor or
doctors In the case.
It appears that the youth had
heard about new method of remov-
ing tonsils by some kind of surgical
gadget, as he called it, and he had
asked his family physician what
about it: later he had put the
same question to the throat surgeon
to whom the family physician refer
red him. Both gentlemen cordially
agreed that the new tangled method
the lad asked about is dangerous
and unsatisfactory, not yet beyond
the experimental stage"
Thus treasured the boy dismissed
the idea from his mind and cheer
fully laid himself on the operating
table-to die.
I say the death of this young man
IS a grave reflection on the good
faith of the medical profession as q
whole, the profession in the commune
ity where the tragedy occurred. Fur
ther I charge that the family ply
sician and the throat surgeon who
advised the patient that the dia-
thermy or electro surgical method of
tonsillectomy is dangerous and un-
satisfactory and not yet beyond the
experimental stage" deceived the pa
tient and committed gross malprac-
tice.
In many thousands of cases the
diathermy or electro-surgical method
OF removing tonsils has proved both
safe and satisfactory, and the physi-
clan who dares to deny this when his
patient puts the question betrays the
most sacred responsibility of his pro-
fession.
II either method is to be called
dangerous surely 1t Is the standard
surgical method with snare and
guillotine. or scissors or scalpel or
finger dissection or enucleation. The
dangers are those Of any major ope-
ration, plus the danger of hemorr-
hage, embolism, lung abscess, etc.
Unfortunately few doctors have the
skill and special tact necessary to us<
the modern method in the case of q
child under six years Of age. But for
all others, In my opinion, the dia-
thermy or electro-surgical method
deserves first consideration, for every
reason that applies In actual prac.
tice.

Farm Aid RilI

Much will be heard during the next
few months of the allotment plan"
the new farm aid bill. There seems
little chance Of it becoming a law at
the short session, for If 1t were to
pass the senate President Hoover
probably would veto it, as coming un-
der what he termed "a panacea" dur
ing the recent campaign.
Such q measure was outlined merely
by President-elect Roosevelt in his
Topeka speech. He touched merely on
the outlines Of such legislation de-
claring that the details were to be
worked out by the farmers organiza-
tions and congressional leaders.
Chairman Jones of the House conf
mtttee on agriculture has reported

cause it departs from former schemes

From this same quarter comes the
