In his letter to the governor, Dr.
Donnan said: .
“I am a country physician, and am
the only one in my coifimuniily, I have
served these people for many yeai-s."
1, love them, and I want to continue
s(i long as my health will perinitr to
serve -them in the future as I liave
in the past.
“You can realize the difficulty that
country communities experience to
day in getting a physician to reside
with them. The younger ones want to
go to town and the country sections
are almost devoid of resident physi
cians’ attendance. The country doctor
is about to become as extinct as the
dodo,
“I have lived amongst myjieople
some 40 or. 50 years, and the duties

ily to assist ofie ano^her^ wheneve'r it
is possible,. Pride in one’s town or
community leads a man to work for
civic and moral, advancements, for
no one likes to th^nk that his place-of
abode is inferior in any way to that
of another. And the same reasoning
can be applied to state and nation.
Pride is the root of all competi
tion, and competition, in turn, is the
root of most of the progress in the
world. As long a.s a single concern
has a ‘Corner” so' to speak on anyl
product, it is reasajaable.:lto expect

to the public at the highest possible
price with the lowest possible value.
Supply competition, on the other
hand, and quality becomes the decid

truth. . The manufacturer realizes

“1 regret that' my private business

’These are the words of a conscien-

moat lasting value at a price that is
as applied to other fields than the
commercial. \ ,

gave the government $142 of your
money last year. If you are a head
of a family of fou^ that means $568
of your earnings went for taxes.
The. tpi^ cost of government, ac
cording the Commentator, was
close to $18,000,000,000,000 in 1936.
That represents spending at the rate
of almost $1,500,000,000 a month;
$49,000,000 a day, Sundays and. holi
days included, and $34,000 an hdur.
These are staggering ^ures—jmd
