corporation. limited in the bill to
800 100000, to be used for the best in
terests OF humanity at large, for the
edge. for the prevention and relief OF
suffering and to foster human progress
In every shape
Democrats Object.
Half dozen democrats jumped to their
feet and shouted. ct reserve the right to
object" Representative Sheppard said
he was opposed to granting a special
charter of this kind because In his opin-
lon 1t would allow this enormous fund Of
money to be used in competition with pri-
vate individuals, that too much money
was exempt from taxes and that 1t was
not good public policy.
Representative Raker Of California
made an objection also and finally Rep
resentative Fowler of Missouri said,
"Mr. Speaker. reserve the right to OBJ
ject and l do object"

TALLULAH. La. April 15.-As far as

Now Facing Want.
Nfne-tenths Of the population In the
