amendment suggested. they would be
able TO control the situation.
Hitchcock's Statement
The views of the proponents OF the
delay and further consideration are
clearly indicated in a statement given
out by Senator Hitchcock. Senator
Hitchcock predicts that the admins
,rat,on bill will be changed ~ the
senate in several hundred" particu-
lars. He said; so far as our inves-
tigation OF the subject has gone, the
facts have been developed in my
opinion: that the bill. II 1t should
pass in it's present form. requiring the
banks to provide 100000, 900 of CAPT.
tai months before they could secure
any assistance from the reserve banks,
would tend to produce a contraction
of loans. that Is to say. In order to turn
over 100000 600 in cash, the existing
banks would be compelled to call in
loans. This would have a bad effect
on the borrowing public.
The hearings so far have demon
strated to my satisfaction that II the
bill were to be passed in It's present
form 1t would probably produce a
violent contraction OF credit. followed
later probably by a wild imitation be-
fore proper balance is reached.
II hope that our committee will de-
eide to put important restrictions on
the power OF the federal board, which
the president is to appoint. / do not
believe in entrusting arbitrary power
to a board OF seven men. whether
they are chosen by the bankers or by
the president.
Opposed to Several Features.
.rs Personally l am opposed to retiring
two per cent bonds now outstanding,
and putting out three per cent bonds
instead. and l am opposed to retiring
the bond secured bank currency,
which we know by experience Is alb
solutely safe. and substituting for it
asset currency. or currency secured
only by the commercial paper held by
banks. | think a great struggle will
occur over that provision of the ad-
ministration bill.
'sThe bill cannot be agreed upon
and formulated. without taking a great
deal of time and without making a
careful investigation. If our commit
tee reports the bill during the pres
ent congress, 1t will contain some very
important amendments. and our in
vestigations having gone far enough
to demonstrate that the total number
Of amendments will amount to several
hundred"

In idle moments, when work

OF a home as much as attractive

NO UNCARED FOR SICK
In TEXAS IN l9-?
Thousands Of Sick In This State are
Now UnCared for.

No systematic steps are now be
ing taken for the Relief of the Sick
and the Prevention of Communica-
BILE Diseases.
Preventable Disease is the Lead
ing Cause of Poverty, Sickness and
Distress.
The State Must Awake.
Much Can be Accomplished in
the Next few Years.
Communicable Diseases Can be
Eradicated
Many Lives Can be Saved.
The object of this Association is
to acquaint the people of the State
with the fact that over 1000 Tex
ans die every month from Commun-
icable Diseases. That this awful
sacrifice is needless. That such
diseases will continue to claim an
increasing number of victims unless
definite and immediate preventive
measures are inaugurated. A ire
mendous reduction of the death
rate can be made in the present
decade, IF
(a) The people are educated to
the fact that tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, meningitis, typhoid fever,
dysentery, malaria, diptheria and
Group, pellagra, Influenza, measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever,
smallpox, and most of she diseases
of infants such as diarrhoea and
enterltls, etc, etc, are Communl-
cable and Preventable and HOW
this may be accomplished, and,
(b) If every County makes suf.
fcent hospital and dispensary pro-
vision for its sick.
(c) If every city of 5000 has a
free dispensary.
I'D If every city and village has
at least one visiting nurse.
(e) If all living cases are re
quired to live in such a manner as
to protect others.
(D If every living case is in a
hospital or under supervision at
home.
(g) If all houses and rooms oc-
cupied by the sick are disinfected
and renovated after death or re-
moval.
When the State, every county
and each city does its part many
lives can be saved.
