Revolt against the gov- ernor’s leadership was apparent dur- 6.00;ing the closing days of the recent legislative session. It has been intensified by dissen- sion within the state industrial com- 1,50| mission wifich existed for weeks be- bigest origin published herein. rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Let’s Keep Trying Not all of the comment regarding the “New Deal” with its forward- looking program designed to improve the lot of the average man, is favor- eble in tone. Some persons profess to see in it ® socialistic development which, car- Tied to its ultimate end, means de- struction of our present form of gov- ernment and society and the intro- duction of Marxism as the guiding light in American affairs. Others contend it is wrong in principle, at- tempts to change the normal course of economic developments and will result in failure. The burden of their cry is that it has been tried before and has failed. A reader of The Tribune, for example, sends us a quotation from the book “Richelieu and the Growth of French Power” published in 1890 by James Breck Perkins. It reads as follows: “The protecting hand of the state was extended over almost every branch of human industry: the state regulated the rate of interest, that the usurer should not charge too much; it super- intended the manufacture of goods, that fraud might be pre- vented; it fixed the rate of ‘wages, that the employer should not pay too much or the em- Ployee receive too little; it for- bade the importation of goods, lest the manufacturer should lose his gain; it imposed great penalties on sending silver and gold out of the kingdom, lest the circulation should be insufficient and the country be robbed of its precious metals; it told the farmer how much land he might put into wheat, and how much he might plant with vine, lest, in search of his private gain, he should injure the public weal; the existence of the laws of trade, which no legislation could over- ride, were as little suspected as the existence of the law of gravi- tation.” Unquestionably there are marked points of similarity between Riche- lieu’s program and that of Franklin D, Roosevelt. The state now is ex- tending its protecting hand over al- most every industry, but then it has been doing so for some time. It was doing so in the halcyon days of 1928-29. The only difference now is that the protecting hand also shel- ters the helpless individual in in- dustry, certainly not an unfair thing. Our laws long have regulated the tates of interest, sought to prevent fraud in the manufacture and mar- keting of goods. Apparently the po- Uecy has not proved disastrous. ‘We are not, unlike Richelieu, at- tempting to regulate wages. The NRA agreement does seek to prevent payment of wages too small to main- tain life. Why shouldn't it? The preamble to the constitution recog- nizes that, before we can pursue Uberty or happiness, we first must have life. ‘The importation of goods has been under a handicap in this country for @ generation. Possibly we should lower the bars somewhat now, but for BO years our high-tariff policy fore public statement of the facts was made. Contributing largely to this situa- tion has been a dictatorial attitude on the part of the governor. He has been unwilling to confer with other state officials on subjects with- in their knowledge which they are specially qualified to discuss. ‘Thus, in the current argument on the sales tax, he ignores the depart- ment of public instruction and data honestly compiled by it, adduces some alleged facts of his own. The result forced Superintendent Arthur E. Thompson, a man of cour- age and candor, to make a statement setting forth the truth. Thompson raust have known that, if the time came for the governor to deliver on promised aid for schools, applicants would be referred to Thompson and the superintendent would be the man “on the spot.” These tactics in a score of matters, both of internal politics and public Policy, have won for the governor the distrust of practically every state’ officer. The men who have dealt with him most have the least faith in him. With possibly one exception, no state officer is disposed to lend much credence to any further prom- ises by the executive. That situation is not a new one to give it point. The circumstances surrounding the picnic at Sykeston were such as to bring to the surface the distrust which Nye feels for Langer. ‘The senator felt that Langer's fail- ure to answer his letter asking for an agreement to ignore the sales tax, coupled with his action in delibe- Tately forcing Nye to speak first, could mean only one thing. Langer would speak last and, with Nye unable to reply, would espouse the sales tax. With Nye on the same platform the junior senator would seemingly be committed to it and! many would think that Langer also expressed Nye’s views. In short, Nye feared the “double-cross.” It was to forestall such a happen- ing that Nye launched what amounts to a political bombshell, even though his opposition was couched in soft words, Nye knew full well what the po- litical implications would be. To dis- pute the governor on a point of policy is to challenge him personally. The Peculiar mentality of the executive made this inevitable. Langer was nonplussed at Sykes- ton but how quickly he took up the gauntlet is indicated by his speeches at Wishek and Oakes where he told an audience to send to Nye at Wash- ington for money and see if he had any to send them. He, at least, ap- Preciated the significance of the, senator’s remarks. All of these things combine to| make visible the breach in the pres- ent political alignment. It may now be seen with the naked eye. As the weeks roll by it will become more and more apparent. The ever-chang- ing political kaleidoscope is about to) put on a new show. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, The State Wheat Estimate (Grand Forks Herald) was regarded as a bulwark of American prosperity. We do not now tell the farmer of success and may prove to be so. Certainly the old way of economic thinking brought no help for agricul- ture. ‘The present program does not seek “ to ignore the existerice of laws of and economics but to prevent | est aie: § it 5 . un | i ge ei lit - ¥ Fy i fi The federal estimate of North Da- kota wheat production places the probable state yield as of September 1 at 60,628,000 bushels as against the estimate of 56,375,000 as of August 1. Some inquisitive persons may want to know where the government found the other four million bushels.

SOMEBODY IN- DICTED IN HOLDUP CASES. The story says that Dr. John J. Somebody failed to notify the police that he had treated a patient for gunshot wounds and the grand jury indicted him, as it seems there’s & law, @ special statute specifying that @ physician, attending a person suf- fering from gunshot wounds must notify either the local police or the state commissioner of public safety. How did the grand jury learn about the doctor's dastardly conduct? Oh, another doctor, with whom he con- sulted about the case, ran right around and informed the police. A nasty type, this stool pigeon who would. betray the faith patient puts in his doctor rather than commit a misdemeanor. That's one of the rot- ten things abolit Medicine today— too many of that type in practice. “Dr. Stoolpigeon, police said, gave them information which was ex- tremely valuable in making the capture (of the alleged bandit). He explained how the alleged bandit had been brought to his office by Dr. Somebody. . .” Too bad we can’t indict Dr. Stool- pigeon, for he betrayed the honor of his profession, the confidence of his colleague and the faith or trust of the patient. Another “special” statute or regu- lation has been enacted in some states, requiring physicians to report all cases of gonorrhea or syphilis. From the first this has been a dead letter, because these diseases occur in all classes and the physicians can’t afford to betray the confidence of better class patients, you know.

There is a lot of sheer hokum practiced by latter day throat specialists and by plod-! ding practitioners who take the brass specialists too seriously. If there is a septic focus in either tonsil it is a. question of fact, not of opinion. If | the doctor determines that the ton- | sil is the seat of infection, he should eradicate the infection as a first step in the treatment of the running ear. | But this does not necessarily require | removal of the tonsils. I believe it is preferable in most cases to era- dicate such a focus of infection in the tonsil by means of diathermy (electro-coagulation), which is at least as efficient as radical surgery, and both safer and less painful for the patient.

It doesn’t require much moral courage to break this law. Such “special” statutes or regula- tions violate the fundamental prin- ciples of justice and common wel- fare. The common law has always recognized the inviolable secrecy of whatever a physician learns in his professional capacity, especially knowledge which, if divulged, might jeopardize the patient's reputation or safety. ‘Why not a special statute to pun- ish lawyers who fail to inform the police when they are consulted by a client who is evidently mixed up in some criminal affair? And another to compel the clergyman to inform the police whenever any one con- fesses any crime? And a very spe- cial one to make useful stool pig- eons of wives, mothers or other rela- tives who may learn of implication in crime?
