MAYOR AUTHORIZED TO
LIFT BAN WHEN HEALTH
BOARD RECOMMENDS IT
Qaantity And varnsy On Basi-
ness Disposed OF AT COan-
d Neetlg.

Tho regular council meeting lash eve
ming brought out oil but two of the
aldermen, and the two-hours session
touched high mark in the variety and
quantity Of business disposed of. Re-
ports from the various departments
werepresented by the recorder and sent
through almost without comment. The
oratory of the session focused upon
the influenza situation, the proposed
suit against the state fair board and
the long drawn city water ease, while
an overplus Of brain energy was de-
voted to minor feature Of janitor's sal
ary.
The committee on health brought in
a report showing the Red Cross emer-
gency work had created to date an ex-
pense Of 1921, a large part of which
was used in purchasing equipment for
the emergency hospital. 1t was suggest
ed that this amount might be mater
tally lessened later by re-selling uten-
sils, furniture, etc, and it was thought
that eventually the cost OF the hospit-
al would be reduced by at least 5000
which would be paid in by patients
who were able to pay for the service.
An additional expense of 1894 had been
incurred for the services of nurses In
caring for cases in different parts of
the city. A motion that four doctors
be named by the mayor to act in con-
junction with the health committee in
dealing with the situation was carried
without dissent. But when later a res
olution was presented authorizing the
mayor to declare the ban removed on
the recommendation of the health
board, there was flare eback of oppo-
sition, the objectors Kidding that as
the town had been closed by action Of
the council, that body should act m
lifting the ban. DR.. Utter reassured by
stating that it was only desired to en-
able the mayor to act in the matter
without the formality Of q special ses-
sion of the council, The resolution fin
ally carried with two dissenting votes.
Committee Appointed
The proposition to form special
committee to cooperate with the health
board in a campaign of education and
effort to stamp out the plague drew
little display Of fireworks, as one al
derman considered it unealled for af-
ter. appointing four doctors for this
The motion finally went thru
with the provision that the committee
be made up of the mayor, the board
of health, the president of the Com
mercial club, the president Of the Red
Cross, two editors, one doctor, one drug
gst, one banker and one Preacher--a
that should stamp out any
plague by sheer force of personality.

High Business Ethics.
sThe business Of Armour and com
pany is conducted in accord with The
highest and best business ethics Of the
day. A generation ago when pools snd
combinations of various kinds in rail
roads and in every kind of business
were common and~of every day occur
renee, were ethical, and were supposed
ly legal, we were then somtimes party
to them; but when new legislation OF
new interpretations of existing legisla

Armour told the committee. They wer1
fixed by the food administration to sta

He went into detailed explanation Of
the famous "fifty- fifty" letters which
the federal trade commission took as
evidence of g. working agreement in
Denver between Swift and Armour.
Armour denied there was such an
agreement in criminal sense.
When Philiv D. Armour wrote from
Denver that everything here is on o
$3.50 basis, he meant" the witness
said, that the division was about equal

tinuation of an even start, each concern

ing company was split by the two pack
ers.
"Thc 400 per cent stock dividend
was merely bookkeeping transaction
perfectly honest and legal in every re.
spect," according to Armour. "It
merely gave each stockholder five
shares of stock where formerly he held
one, the value of which was equal 10
the five which replaced it..
