Fee-Splitting Doctors and Our Peace Time Army
The piece discusses New York City corruption, noting Mayor Walker and a brother physician involved in fee-splitting with city employees and inflated bills. It contrasts reform with the alleged honesty of reputable doctors and comments on broader public trust in physicians. It then reviews U S Army reorganization after World War I, detailing corps areas, staff, and the aim to build a ready wartime force from a peacetime skeleton, with historical changes in size. It ends with a cheeky line about campaign expense investigations and an Oklahoma stenographer suing a man who promised marriage for years.
