CURRAN COMMISSION BITTERLY SCORES
ACTIONS OF UNITED CHARITIES


Springfield, Ill.,, June .3.-The Cur
ran legislative committee, appointed
to investigate organized charity and
foundlings homes, made it's report to
the legislature today.
The committee bitterly scored the
United Charities of Chicago for as
Stunning to control all Chicago chart
ties and for spending so much money
investigating cases of the needy be-
fore helping them and for the sal
aries of administrative officers.
The committee recommended that
a law requiring that only % per cent
of money collected by any so-called
charitable institution should be spent
for administrative work and that IS
per cent be spent for actual relief.
The committee also recommended
a rigid state supervision of maternity
homes to put an end to the baby bar
ter that so long has been disgrace
to Illinois.
The committee censured the
Juvenile Court of Chicago for the
manner in which it dealt with the
cases of young children, and scored
the system by which illegitimate
children or fOundlings are EARNED
out" ~
One blow that will touch the
United Charities is contained in the
following recommendation:
1.-THE officers of a society should
not be final judges of the fitness of
the parents when the parent in
0uires for a child, that has been
placed out, but state officer should
be the Judge, and in his discretion in
form the parent as to the where
abouts of the child" e
The United Charities has made a
practice of owning any family it
helped-after inYestigation-and Of
telling courts and police what to do
with the members of the family.

world. And that very reason is the
one that makes it so difficult for a
woman to take her illegitimate child
and go out and face the jibes of those
who know no better than to ridicuIe
the helpless. True, it is shameful for
a woman to lose her chastity, but
nevertheless if she wants to take her
child and live decent life land most
ofthem do she should not be a, So
eial outcast."
The committee suggests that it be
made a criminal offense for any wo=
man to come to Illinois to give birth
to an illegitimate child, on the ground
that it is not fair to Illinois to have
to support the child if the mother
should not happen to. do so or no
baby farmer should happen to get
hold of it and sell it.
Rep. Thomas CuTTan, chairman of
the committee, will offer resolution
to the House that the life of the COM
mittee be continued for two years
and that it be instructed to report to
the Forty-ninth General Assembly.
He also will move that the commit
tee be made a joint one by the adop-
ton of members from the Senate.

dealer If he had matches for sale and was

All Phases Considered
Senator Williams, who directed the
progress of the tariff bill for the demo-
Gratis, again declared that the trainers
of the bill had considered all phases of
the subject and had dismissed the idea
of heavier tax. in favor of the policy
of starting the new form of taxation upon
a moderate basis
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska today
introduced his proposed amendment to the
tariff bill, to levy a graduated tax upon
corporations for the purpose of eurbing
monopoles and breaking up trusts. This
represents a plan that has many support
ers in both parties and a strong effort
will be made to have 1t Incorporated in
the tariff bill. 1t would provide
A tax of per cent or five times the
normal corporation tax, on the income
of any concern that produces or sells from
one quarter 10 one-third of the total
amount of any given line OF production;
10 per cent on corporations producing or
selling from one-third. TO one-half of the
total. and 20 per cent on corporations
producing or selling over one-half of the
total
This penalty tax would not apply to
concerns whose product is valued at less
than s10.000000 per year: nor to concerns
having a total of capital less than
$50 900 CO.
