WOMEN OBTAIN
VIEWS OF MEN
,IN ASSEMBLY
Grow Indignant When Told of
Surroundings of the Men
tally Deficient.
VOTERS’ LEAGUE ACTIVE
Indignation waxed high among the
members of the League of Women Voters
at a conference with the Marion County
legislative delegation yesterday in the
Chamber of Commerce when James L.
Kingsbury, a Representative, stated that
many people mentally iefiicient are placed
In the county Jail, which, as he expressed
It. “is Tery much like treating a person
with a violent sick headache by con
fining him in a boiler factory.” The
women d'ecussed Informally the measures
they will advocate in the coming session
of the Assembly.
Mr. Kingsbury is working in the In
terest of a measure that will give better
care to the Insane. “People who are in
sane,” he said, "are ouly sick mentally.
' and what they should have is medical at
tention and decent surroundings. Sixty
per .cent of the people sent to our Insane
hospitals are sent home cured or in a
decidedly improved condition so that they !
may safely live with their people. There
rre over 50 000 mentally deficient In the
State, and ton small a number are getting
proper attention in public institutions."
LEGISLATION
“TRICKY.”
Mr. Kingsbury will also indorse various
measures concerning the profiteering
problem, especially as to the coal situa
tion. He warned the women that legis
lation was a tricky proposition and that
the women should study carefully the |
bills and men back of them to see tiat
there is not a catch somewhere, “for the
biggest thing that a man can do in the
Legislature is to kill unwise legislation.”
Robert E. Moorhead, Senator-elect, said
he was particularly interested in the high
rent situation and would advocate a bill
fixing the fair valuation to be placed on
rental property and the placing of a
fixed rate of interest on the money in
vested in the property. Twelve per cent
of the value, he stated, should be on an
average a fair rental.
Another bill which Mr. Moorhead is de- i
cidedly interested In is a measure to be
backed by. the American Legion for the
education of the adult foreigner in the
principles of Americanism.
worm ABOLISH
SERVICE COMMISSION'.
Representative Oraer U. Newman ex
pressed himself as actively working for
bills favoring the reduction of the high
cost of living. Something should be done
by the Legislature to relieve the tax bur
dens of the people, he said. Rnd he scored
the public service commission as an
"abomination to the people of Indiana.."
He said it was unheard of that public
corporations entering Into solemn con
tracts should not be called upon to carry
out their part.
“If they are not able to do so.” he said,
“They should be allowed to quit. You
women must wake up to the fact that this
board should be abolished.”
Another statement he made was to the
lfect that public State officials are not
efficient, that they do not put in enough
time, thereby making it necessary to
have twice es large a staff of public
servants as Is necessary. He urged the
women to make a survey of the State
house and they would see where a big
portion of their money has been going.
The Interest of the woman has been
concentrated upon ills which concern
chiefly women, children, education and
citizenship.

“Mr. Stump'g" luck started last night

S’be was informed that the person was
unknown to Mrs. Simmons and she went
•way.
Returning In a few minutes the woman
wared a revolver and demanded the right
the house. She was told that
she was welcome, and while she searched
the house Mrs. Simmons telephoned th?
police, hat the woman hearing her left
the house and ran west on New York
street.
The wom-n with the revolver failed to
state why she desired to meet “Mr.
Stump."
She was described as being 5 feet 7
inches in height, w.-lghing 155 pounds,
and was about 30 years old. She wore
a brown coat with a fur collar and cuffs,
and a broad-brimmed hat.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1920,
Michigan Croesus
Wishes Law Fixing
One Fee for Doctors
DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 9—lndications
are that a bill vitally important to the
Michigan medical profession will be in
troduced in the coming Legislature, and
physicians, led by a large faction of the
Wayne County Medical Society, will light
its passage.
The bill is for the fixing of fees which
medical men may charge for their serv
ices.
According to a prominent Detroit phy
sician, the bill is the result of personal
pique on the part of a Michigan multi
millionaire.
It has been the custom of many spe
cialists, it is explained, to charge for
their services in proportion to the in
comes of their patients. Thus, a laborer
might be charged a trifling fee for an
operation which would cost a wealthy
man hundreds or. even thousands.
According to this physician, who re
fused to allow his name to--be used, th?
grandson of the multimillionaire in ques
tion was recently operated on for toil
siiitis at an Anu Arbor The
surgeon charged a seq based on the
grandfather's wealth. Angered at the
size of tlie bill, he threatened to obtain
a law fixing a definite scale.
