The local citizen emphasizes the necessity for medical services, especially in the case of a family, but he regrets that the cost sometimes proves a burden. He sees in such plans as that of the Hollinâ€" ger Employees‘ Medical Health Association a sysâ€" tem that will reduce costs without impairing serâ€" vice. In other words he seeks health insurance, as it were, at cost. Under the usual methods of dealâ€" ing with the individual, there can be no standardiâ€" zation of fees for medical services. The doctors are not to blame for this. They are equally the victims of conditions with that part of the public that pays. The doctors have to secure in the aggregate enough fees to pay for all services, and allowing for those who cannot or will not pay, and for those who cannot pay a fair rate. s Commenting on the editorial in The Advance last Thursday in reference to the Hollinger Emâ€" ployvees‘ Medical Services Association and the fact that the plan seemed to be working well, a local citizen who is not an employee of the Hollinger, asks why everybody cannot get into such a plan That idea was more or less suggested by the ediâ€" torial. While the editorial dealt with the apparent efficiency and satisfaction with which the Hollinâ€" ger Employees‘ Medical Services Association plan was being administered, it was pointed out that its very success implied the idea that it would be copied elsewhere on this continent not only by inâ€" dustrial groups but by other organizations. The case of a Toronto plan was mentioned, 200 physiâ€" cians in the city volunteering to coâ€"operate in a new health insurance scheme that has many of the features of the plan adopted by the Hollinger Employees Medical Services Association. In Britain there are several health insurance plans that have some of the features of the one in force here, though lacking perhaps the outstanding charac-i teristiecs of the Hollinger Employees‘ Association} plan. Probably evenâ€"handed justiceâ€"the ideal British justiceâ€"the same for each and allâ€"is beyond huâ€" man frailty. Until that ideal is reached perhaps the best substitute is British justiceâ€"the justice that holds each man and woman to account for their deeds, and gives the greater leniency and consideration to the weak, the poor, the less inâ€" fluential. a Canadian court where British precedents in general are followed. Had the lady been a membet of a less prominent family she would in all probaâ€" bility have escaped punishment in the average court in Great Britain. Toâ€"day British courts are not stern beyond all compromise. Magistrates and judges often show decided leniency and humane feeling in treating cases that come before the courts in Bri;ain toâ€"day. A poor woman who had erred in the way this titled lady did, might well have escaped with a stern warning. But because she was rich and of noble family, British courts expected much more from such a woman and treated her misdeeds with much greater harshness than would be meted out to a humbler sister. Anâ€" other example of the same attitude of mind was shown some time ago when a titled gentleman was given a term of several years in prison by an English court that treated much less severely anâ€" other and poorer man who had stolen a larger amount. The defence of the titled gentleman was that he was no party to the fraud chargedâ€"that he did not know such a fraud had been committed. There is every reason to believe that the accused told the strict truth in this, but the court‘s answer was that he was a director of the company responâ€" sible for the alleged fraud, and that he had to be. held strictly accountable as a director for the acts done under the shadow of his name. l Much is heard of British justice and the fact that all are equal before the law. The Globe and Mail last week gave an example of what it believe: to be the evenâ€"handed justice, but which in reality appears to be proof that in Britain there is one law for the poor and another for the richâ€"with the rich and great being treated with greater severity than their poorer brothers and sisters. The case i: that of Lady Makgill, wife of a baronet and grandâ€" daughter of Lord Pauncefort. She was sentencec to six months‘ imprisonment for issuing cheque: for which there were no funds. The cheques were for sma‘!ll amounts and before the trial all who hac lost moneyâ€"even the sinallest amountsâ€"through the issuing of these cheques were fully reimbursed. Indeed, as soon as the family of the lady learned that any cheques had been dishonoured, the holdâ€" ers of the cheques were promptly paid in full. Or this continent, the lady would have been found tc be suffering from some new form of insanity, foi which the doctors would bring forward an impresâ€" sive name. Were the case to come before the courts in the United States, the lady would be freed tc the charge of her relatives, with apologies for the ‘ unfortunate incident. The reâ€"imbursement made for the cheques would have much weignt even in Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year TIMMIXS, ONTAR1O.

The heavy rains here and the droughts in the West may remind some that the chief trouble of this day and generation is the inequality of distribution. Too much rain, anyway, is better than too much dust on the roads. A little less rain and a little more oil would be better. For a great many years strikes have featured labour troubles on this continent. Recentiy, howâ€" ever, an original twist has been given to some of the strikes, with ideas imported from European countries. For instance, there was the "sitâ€"down" strike, used years ago in Austria, with unfortunate results in that country for the sitâ€"down strikers. Then, men on relief have been on strike in Ontario in recent years, the inspiration being from Moscow. The latest "new" form of strike for Canada was noted last week when twelve men at Spirit River, Alberta, went on strike while fighting bush fires. They were forced back to the fighting of the fires by Royal Canadian Mounted Police who kept them on the job until rains came to make the work unâ€" necessary. Even the latter part of this incident is not new, for Albert Courtemanche used to tell years ago how he used his authority as chief of police, backed by the necessary force, to compel some newcomers to the camp to fight the bush fire that threatened the town of Timmins in 1916. !

Mr. Hepburn difâ€" fered with other peopleâ€"with labour, his own party, his cabinet, the Dominion party, the newsâ€" papers, the temperance people, the liquor folks, and so on. ‘"Hepburn thinks everybody‘s out of step but him," was the way Mr. Frost summed it up. Mr. Frost admitted (if that‘s the right word) that The Globe and Mail was usually in step with Mr. Hepburn, or vice versa. And now comes the matter of an early election! Announcement of a provincial election in the next couple of months has been made by nearly everybody (including The Globe and Mail) excepting Mr. Hepburn. The control of services is rightly emphasized as an outstanding feature of the Hollinger Employees‘ Medical Services Association plan. The plan is adâ€" ministered by a board that includes both doctors and employees. The employee has free choice in his selection of a doctor, in this particular differâ€" ing from most health insurance plans. Measures have been taken to guard against abuses of the plan from any source. It is to the direct interest of the employees to avoid abuses, because all such abuses will tend to increase costs. It is equally to the interests of the doctors to avoid anything that will prejudice the success of the venture which promises to give a new lead to the better care of the general health. At present it is impossible to accurately and deâ€" finitely state the costs. It is true that the figure of $2.65 per month for each employee with family was very carefully estimated‘ after the most exâ€" haustive study of the matter and the use of every available bit of material that would add to the probable chance of arriving at an approximately correct figure. But at present no one knows the actual costs of such a plan, and so it is not well to say that the Toronto plan with a fee of $6.50 and up is too high in comparison. There are many facâ€" tors entering into the matter. One of the chief of these is the number participating in any of the plans. The more that participate the easier it is to strike the average that will apply. This is the outstanding feature of all insurance plans. It is impossible to give even an approximate estimate of the number who will die or be ill in any given ten or twenty people. Taking large groups, however, the figures can be given with scientific accuracy. With approximately 3000 members in the Hollinâ€" ger Employees‘ Medical Services Association, the group is large enough to assure accuracy in estiâ€" mates. It will be easier to arrive at definite costs after a year‘s trial of the plan, but in the meantime it is not too much to say that if the plan continues to work with its present efficiency and smoothness and with the coâ€"operation of all, it will fully justify itself, and will, as The Advance suggested, be used as a model for other plans in other places to meet the needs of the day. (2) To provide full services to employees and their families and dependents, with control of the services. (3) The source of funds to pay for the services is the employees only, no industry, municipality or government contributing. | Perhaps in referring to the case of the Toronto plan where a family of three would pay $6.50 per month for all the services that cost only $2.65 per month to members of the Hollinger Employees‘ Association, The Advance should have made it clear that the three outstanding features of the Hollinger Employees‘ Association plan are as folâ€" lows : â€" ._(1) To provide all the necessary medical, surgiâ€" cal and hospital services at cost.
