Angstman, Helena (ed Itmd 1 kr by Hays..= f- es O-,ommtttee) i KNOW THE TRUTH! INITIATIVE NO. 18 is a law defining Osteopathy, authorizing and regulating the practice of Osteopathic Play- sieians and Surgeons. It will allow Montanans who wisli such, to have un- hampered health services of qualified Osteopathic Physi- cians. No law in any state in the Union regulating any sys- lena of Me(li(ud Practice provides for hmger or more thor- ongh courses of' study. Stories that it will disturh hosl)ital or nurse ratings or permit any and all Osleol)aths it) do unlimited surgery are simply falsehoods. WE ARE TOLD THAT TIIERE IS A SHORTAGE OF NURSES AND OF ALL HEI.P IN THE HOSPITALS. WHY THEN' ARE CADET NURSES. WHOSE ALLOWANCE AND NURSING EI)UCAT1ON IS PAID FOR BY THE UNITFD STATES GOVERNMENT (THE TAXPAYERS). BEING SENT ABOUT DISTRIBUTING PROPAGANDA AGAINST AN INITIATIVE? A NUMBER OF CITIZENS (TAXPAYERS) ARE VOICING THIS QUESTION. One little student nurse out delivering tiffs nmterial against Initiative No. 48, the Osteopathic measure, Ixmtark- ed to her companion, "'l ought to be studying this minute." Another xxas reported as having been heard to say, "'I wish I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ]'HIS." These girls are simply being imposed upon and high pressured into this by professional people with selfish in- terests who are positioned so that they cau. The girls have been frightened into believing tlmt their nursing career will be menaced if 48 passes, when it hasn't anything whatever to do with their nursing courses or careers. It well illus- trates the nlethods of organization ntedicine to their own selfish interests. The nmtter has been brought to the proper authorities at Washington, D. C. Tho U. S. Government has recognized the standard of ()steopathic education and services through laws passed by Congress and signed by the President, approving the com- missioning of Osteopathic Physicians in the armed forces. (Public laws 763 of 77th Congress; 92 in the 78th and 347 and 580). Also public law 410 of present Congress pro- rides for the commissioning of Osteopathic Physicians as reserwe officers in the Public Health Service. In 1938 Con- gross amended the U. S. Compensation Act nmking avail able to federal employes the services of Osteopathic Phy- sicians and hospitals. Congress has also provided for the participation of Osteopathic Physicians in the Childrens Bureaus program of emergency maternity anti infant care for the wives of enlisted men in the armed forces. "Hte 'ar Manpower Commission gives Osteopathic students and col- leges the same consideration as the regular medical col- leges. Osteopathic students and colhges come under the federal government's program for rehabilitation anti vo- cational training of disabled veterans at government ex- pense. Because of American Medical Association member ad- nfinistrators in the medical department of the armed forces, these laws of the nation are arbitrarily ignored and defied, and the hundreds of Osteopathic Physicians in the service, regardless of their qualifications, are held back from being commissioned to render the service they are qualified to render, and the hundreds of boys of the fighting forces whom they could help every day are deprived of a needed service. Instead the special training of the Osteopaths is wasted and they se'e in the line, or do lackey'service as compared with the help which their training would enable them to render if they were not arbitrarily prevented. VO W is the organized regular medical profession op- posing this measure? The organization medical spirits of Montana, follow- ing the lead of the American Medical Association, which last year, after conviction in the lower courts was convict- ed of trust methods by a unanimous decision of the United Slates Supreme Court, lmve ahvays opposed the public re- ceiving the services of the Osteopathic Physicians. The GUISE of standards and public health has been voiced as the excuse for this opposition, but the reason is that the ()steopathic Physicians are outside the pale of the regular inedical organization. This opposition has grown much stronger as the years have gone by and so many families have come to depend and rely upon the Osteopathic Physi- cian as their Family Physician (could be the main reason). Individual regular medical practitioners in some areas, in lhe spirit which welcomes any helpful service to the sick and crippled so long as those rendering it are qualified, have been nmst tolerant and cooperative, and this to the advantage of the sick. This is a spirit which the Osteoimthic Physicians would seek to emulate. There can be an HON- EST difference in viewpoint, yet still a charitable rivalry as to which can prevent the most illness and be a means of cur- ing the most sick people, and the public be the gainer. A number of people have remarked, "\\;VE ALL DEF- INITEI,Y KNOX\\;'. despite desperate, vigorous, ruthless and GItOSS mis-slatements and misrepresentations, that the courses of study and training as taught in all recognized Osteopathic Colleges for Osteopathic Physicians and Sur- geons are not surpassed by Colleges of Medicine and, Sur- gery, so why should we vote against initiative No. 48, there- by depriving our good friends and neighbors the right to choose their own Physicians and thereby becoming a party to and a tmrt of perhaps the oldest and mosl ruthless dic- tatorial power known." Do not forget that we are now engaged in the ,great- est and most cruel of all wars, fighting against OTHER forms of EQUALLY RUTHLESS dictatorships. The Medical Association would have you believe that the Osteopathic Physician is not mentally capable of ac- quiring the same knowledge of the human anatomy as the medical doctor. Is it not true that the men and women who study anti are trained for Osteopathic Physicians rind Surgeons are made from the same day, come from the same farms, villages and cities as the medical doctor? Do not they study from the same textbooks? Can it be possible that only the medical doctors possess the brains that are necessarT to become professional healers? What kind of meat doth this, "OUR CAESAR," eat that he become so great ? A vote FOR initiative No. 48 is a'vote to give the Os- teopathic Physician the right to practice as he is taught in the various Osteopathic Colleges and to give the people of Montana the right and opportunity for the unhampered sere'ices of qualified Osteopathic Physicians if they so de- sire. rather than have DICTATED to them the type of phy- sician anti hospital they must choose. "Live and let live" from pioneer days down, has been a Montana tenet and fair play is generally a creed of the west. VOTE (X) FOR INITIATIVE NO. 48 Montana Osteopat fie Physicians By L. H.
