Money Trust Inquiry

TOW has High Finance come
through the fire to which it
has been subjected by the
Pujo Money Trust" Investigating
Committee?
What has been disclosed? What
will be the results?
The first and most important de-
duction is that the United States
needs, without one moments un-
necessary delay, a proper currency
and banking system.
Second. The financial giants have
on the whole exercised their unlim-
tied strength with as much moder-
alton, and with as high ethics, as
could be expected from mere NOR
tails. although admittedly the ten
dency has been toward undue con-
centration.
Third In addition to a new cur
rency scheme, certain laws prob
ably will be passed curbing the
powers and privileges of private
bankers in their dealing with inter
state corporations and national
banks.
Proved Very Useful.
Fourth. The stock exchange will
undoubtedly be incorporated and
stringent measures taken to correct
existing abuses although less will
be actually achieved in this respect
by legislation than the people have
been led to anticipate.
Fifth. Proposals to forbid "in-
terlocking directories" will be
brought forward and may cause
disturbance. but in the end nothing
probably will be done.
Sixth. Financiers have learned
the salutary lesson that they can
not hope to go on doing things
inimical to the public will
Seventh. In future there will be
greater publicity of higher sphere"
ongoings and especially Of new
capital notations.
Eighth. Gigantic mergers will not
be attempted by the leading bank
ing houses except on terms that
can stand the searchlight-the
Amalgamated episode is most UNI
likely to be repeated.
Ninth Insiders hereafter will
have fewer advantages over outsid-
although. in the nature Of
things, the scale can nevel be- per.

ROCKEFELLER LECTURER
SPEAKS ON TUBERCULOSIS

An interesting lecture was delivered in
the assembly hall of the Ira street school
last night by DR.. A. G. Fort, one of the
state representatives of the Rockefeller
foundation fund. DR.. Forts lecture was
on the prevention and treatment of tu-
berculosis and was illustrated by stereop-
ticon views showing how simply the dis
ease can be avoided with a small amount
Of caution.
The lecture was given under the aus
pices Of the Parents and Teachers Neigh
borhood club of the Georgia Congress of
Mothers of the Ira street school. The
object of the organization is to foster
more careful habits in the children and
thereby curb the spread of disease. The
meeting was the first to be held at the
school, and the president of the society.
Mrs. 7, c. Aston, is very much gratified
with it's success
