MEMBEI AUDIT BURLAU Or OSCULATION
. Campaign Tactics
IN Kentucky on Saturday the voters will go to the polls
after one of the most disgusting political campaigns
in the history of the country. The spotlight of interest
is centered on the senatorial nomination contest between
Senator Alben W. Barkley and Governor A. B. (Happy)
Chandler. So bad are the tactics being used in this strug
gle that the senate campaign investigating committee has
denounced them as a threat to the "free and unpolluted
ballot."
Methods used by both the Chandler and Barkley
forces were condemned by the committee, and with ample
justification. There has been widespread effort to con
trol the vote of relief workers, according to the investi
gators. Heavy contributions were made by federal
employes to aid the Barkley campaign. Both sides are
accused of many discreditable tactics, such as the use
of old age pension and unemployment compensation
checks to aid the candidacy of Chandler, and the in
timidation of relief workers to boost the chances of
Barkley.
Outstanding feature of the campaign has been the
effort to buy the votes of the people by promise of gov
ernment largess. In this Chandler, who has only the
state treasury to draw on, is somewhat at a disadvantage,
for- Barkley has the backing of the spendthrift Roose
velt administration. The president having urged the
election of Barkley, the incumbent finds it easy to infer
that his success will mean big federal expenditures in
Kentucky. In fact the president, having remarked that
Chandler had never returned from Washington empty
handed, justified the inference that if Kentucky doesn't
do what Mr. Roosevelt wants this time, it won t do so
well henceforth at the federal trousrh.
Cogent comment on such situations is here reprinted'
from the Christian Science Monitor, which is both forth
right and upright in its attitude toward public questions
"It democracy li to work, election must be an honest,
intelligent, free expression of the Judgment and choice of
the voter. Suffrage cannot meet tbese qualifications and
1 at the same time be a payment for past or prospective
I favors. State and nation need from their citizens an
i . opinion as to "who the voter thinks will make the best
public official, not an expression as to whom the voter
thinks he will get the most from or who holds a whip
hand over him."
Give that a thought when Oregon get into an elec
tion this fall.
WASHINGTON. Aug. S The
" doctors were not much ex
cited over the Justice depart
ment's decision that they are a.
monopoly. They have not had
much to say about it In the press.
But they hare a good lawyer or
two and have been privately in
formed that It they are a monop
oly so is the American Bar asso
ciation, the standing committee
ot Washington newspaper cor
respondents and every other pro
fessional group maintaining arbi
trary standards for their profes
sion.
Consequently there does not
seem to be much of a prospect
that the. Medical association will
accept the government invitation
to come around and fix things
up by promising to let the Group
Health association have hospital
and surgical standing.
The doctors' first judgment
was that tt would be better to
let a court decide whether the
justice department knows what
a monopoly Is.
SIDE GLANCES
George Clark
Worth the Effort
REMOVAL of the center support from the Esplanade
underpass is a project worthy of the best effort of
the city authorities in charge of the improvement there.
One extremely serious accident and several minor
ones have occurred at that point, due to the presence of
a sturdy iron obstacle in the very center of the street.
While removal of the support was not specifically
mentioned in connection with the passage of a small
bond issue last December for Esplanade improvement, it
is safe to say that people who. voted for the issue would
strongly endorse such action. .

INNER SLANTS
The Inside on this astounding
new national New Deal move as
the physicians see it la simply
this:
Mr. Roosevelt likes group
health associations, thinks they
are a good thfng. He said as
much at a recent press confer
ence. The justice department has,
therefore, decided to help the
Group Health people fight the
American Medical association and
subsidiaries by a novel construc
tion ot the anti-trust law which
permits punitive court action,
thus to frighten the medics into
concessions.
The Inner slant of the justice
department Is a longer and more
circuitous stody, to-wit:
The Group Health association
Is a co-op now composed of 25
government employes who pay
13.30 a month for a family mem'
bership and (2.20 for an indi
vidual membership. For this
they get surgical operations, pro
fessional advice, home calls, hos
pltaUsatlon in semi-private oi
private rooms, limited to the first
21 days of illness.
But they cannot get the boards
of hospitals here to approve their
surgeons. Every time one of the
members needs an operation, the
association must employ a sur
geon in good medical association
(or. at least in good hospital)
standing.
One of their doctors was for
merly a member of the District
of Columbia Medical society. He
resigned on joining Group Health,
withdrew his resignation, re
quested recognition, was denied
it and thereafter was expelled for
unethical conduct," which may
or may not have consisted ot
joining Group Health.
A Group Health surgeon, mem'
ber ot the Texas Medical assocla-
tion (also a subsidiary of the
A. M. A.) was turned down by
the board of one of the fore
most Washington hospitals when
he tried to get in.
The justice department sus
pects, and will trp to prove that
the D C M S, acting under guid
ance of the A M A, is going
around whispering' to hospital
boards that the Group Health
doctors should not be allowed in.
II
HUB TO TEST
"If you hndn'l raved so much about their garden they '
wouldn't have insisted that we lug all this stuff home'
but social and economic theories.
NEWS TRUST
This interpretation, some very
eminent lawyers say, might give
Mr. Roosevelt jurisdiction over
the American Bar association,
the news-men here and others.
If his prosecution department
thought he would like to get it
The standing committee ot cor
respondents, for instance, baa
denied to some applicants the
right ot entry Into the press gal
leries of congress and thereby
has deprived them ot the right ot
doing news business here. It is
a committee ot news-men olected
to maintain the standards and
decorum ot the profession. If
the justice department Is right
about the A M A. the S C C is
also a monopoly, and in restraint
of trade.
DREAM CONCLUSION
Doctors, however, contend that
not they, but Group Health Is
actually In "restraint ot trade,"
because it takes away their busi
ness. They foresee the chance
that the government will do the
same thing to them, it did to the
public utilities. Some viBlonaries
conjure the dream conclusion of
the present move as an ultimate
curtailment of private medical
practice to the point where Group
Health associations will do all
the business.
The courts, however, will prob
ably decide.
PROSECUTION' DEPT.
The point which interests both
politicians and lawyers Is the
method which the government
chose to aid Group Health. In
stead of lending it money, or
appointing a national medical
relations board or taking any of
the customary steps to promote
group interests, 'the government
is using the law enforcement
agency in a punitive way to pro
mote a co-op against established
business. This is in accordance
with the developing justice de
partment theory, first pronounced
by Assistant Attorney General
Robert Jackson before a senate
committee and practiced In the
auto case, oil cases and others,
namely that the law enforce
ment agency of government is
using the law as a blackjack to
beat whomever it conceives to be
a social or economic adversary
into submission. It would sim
ply mean the justice department
is mis-named and has become in
stead a prosecution department
to enforce, not alone the law,

It directed Its trial examiner,
Mndlson Hill, to reconvene the
adjourned hearing at 10 a. m.
Thursday In the U. S. district
court room ot the federal court
house at Dea Molnos and do
olared:
"Tito board can not permit ita

trarily suspended by action which
the board deems both Illegal and
to constitute the substitution of
slate military authority tor fed

No More Hearing
Before the board's decision
was announced, Karschel had told
newspapermen that "If labor
board officials want to test the
principle ot state's rights, this
Is a good place for them to try
it." He added that there would
be no further hoarlnga In Iowa
"without our permission."
In a formal statement, the
board said It did not interpret
the martial law proclamation to
extend beyond Jasper county,
where Newton Is located, and
added that "there la no pretense
that either a state of Insurrec
tion or any form ot disorder ex
ista in Des Moines."
"Should, however, the gover
nor take the position that the
addendum to bis order making
It statewide In effect must be
read literally, the board sees no
alternative, In the light of Its
obligations, but to proceod with
the bearings undor the authority

exercises," the statement con'
tlnued.

Free treatment was provided

THREE-POINT PLAN
TO END WAGE WARS
Copyright. 19.18. by United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3 UI')
The administration, seeking to
accelerate economic recovery, has
proposed a three-point program
to representatives ot labor snd
Industry as the basis of a coop
erntlve drive for Industrial sta
bility, It waa learned today.
The program was outllucd by
a top-night administration lint
son official after he conferred
with more than 150 Industrialists
and President William Green of
the American Federation ot Labor
and Chulrmnn John L. Lewis ot
tho Committee for Industrial Organization.
Key points of the program call
for: ' -
1 Recognition of a wage suf
ficient to guarantee workers de
cent living standards.
2 Recognition of the right of
employes lo organise freely.
3 Recognition of labor's right
to bargain collectively "free from
coercion by elthor unions or employers."
The administration spokesman
said the Industrialists were al
most universally In favor of the
agenda and that both factions ot
l.hn. tlrfA..k,A.llu " U' I! I J n
I the line." Ho said that all wore
In agreement on necessity ot
stimulating production for mass
consumption, which ran be at
tained only through "adequate
purchasing power ot the public,"
During the conferences, he
said candidly that jurisdictional
warfare between the CIO and A F
of L Is hampering business recov
ery eveu more than crippling
taxation and causing heavy dam
age to organlsod labor Itself.
