...also the sentiment last week of a coalition in the national House of Representatives. Opposed to a 2½% levy on manufacturers in the budget-balancing revenue bill, this bloc wrenched the legislation away from its sponsors and proceeded to mangle it almost beyond recognition. Leaders of the revolt were insurgent Republican LaGuardia of New York and Democrat Doughton of North Carolina. Arraying mass against class, they argued that the sales tax raising $595,000,000 of the bill's $1,096,000,000 was an unfair impost upon poor people, that wealth should be conscripted to balance...
Cried The Presbyterian last week: "One is made very sad. ... It is too bad about the blood atonement being 'revolting' to young people. It is pretty small for mature people to put blame on the young people. It is the mature and aged hard-shelled worldlings who make the protest. . . .

She knew a great deal about the Lapuan movement...

A.'s great current problem, as it is the problem of the Committee on the Cost of Medical Care. Last week neither the Committee (after four and one-half years' investigation) nor the A. M. A. had an effective campaign to offer. But a couple of hospitals, to save their heads, did something...
Some hospitals in other cities are attacking the "lay revolt'' with fixed fees for all services. The doctor need not decide whether to charge his patient nothing to $25 for an office visit, nothing to $10,000 for an operation. When a patient gets into a "fixed fee" hospital he knows beforehand that he will pay about what Manhattan's Sydenham Hospital last week announced it would charge...
