Col. Lindsey safeguarded public ex-
penditures and created public inter-
est In and responsibility for mu-
nlclpal financing. AS one of the most
prominent bankers of the state he
advocated and assisted in the pas
sage of the present state banking
law of Texas, under which many
hundreds of state banks have been
organized and are successfully oper-
ated He was also instrumental in
the passage of the present home life
insurance law in his state while he,
was president of life insurance
company. Under this law number
OF large and successful life insur-
ance companies have been developed.
Besides the work in Texas he found
time to assist the national admins
tration in organization of different
kinds where the public service re-
quired the cooperation of the citi-
zens.
An important factor in the work
Of the war risk insurance section
overseas, Col. Lindsey returned to
this country in December last to take
up the work of recognizing and di-
recting this big business, with a
thorough understanding of what was
needed. For his services performed
as head of the war risk insurance
branch of the American expeditionary
forces Col. Lindsey has been award
ed the distinguished service medal by
Gen. Pershing.

To the soldier it must seem particu-
larly fitting that the affairs Of the
bureau, which mean so much to him
and his loved ones. should be adj
ministered by one of his comrades
who understands the soldiers life
and ideals. With a working knowl-
edge of. financial affairs and with a
vision of the great responsibilities
which must inevitably fall upon the
United States as result of the titanic
upheaval in Europe caused by the
1t was the duty of every American
to prepare to take his place beside
the flag, whether at home or abroad.
So he attended the citizens training
camp at Leon Springs, Texas, and in
1917 attended the officers training
camp at Plattsburgh, N. Y, where he
was commissioned a major of in
fantry.
In December, 1917, as second in COM
mand of the war risk section or
ganized in Washington under Maj.
willard d. Straight, he went to
tionary forces. In February, 1918, he
succeeded Maj. Straight as chief of
the war risk section and continued to
serve in that capacity until his return
to the United States In November of
that year. While serving on the stan
of Gen. James G. Harbord, command

from which to conduct the business

men in the trenches, 80 he moved his

nearer the front. and from which

Since the appointment of Col.
Lindsey as director of the war risk
many of the complications have been
unraveled. This is partly due to the
fact that since the signing of the
armistjce the work Of the bureau has
been steady rather than increasing,
and largely due to the directors ex-
perience and success in organization.
While comparatively young man,
Col. Lindsey has done a vast amount
Of constructive work.
During his term Of two years as
mayor of Dallas. Tex. he reorgan-
lied the water department and in
stalled 100 per cent water meter
system, thereby largely reducing wa
ter rates and greatly improving the
service. He reorganized the health de-
partment and, in co operation w it'll the
federal government, made the health
status of Dallas one Of the best in
the United States. The municipal
board of public welfare, commended
by civic authorities throughout the
country as one Of the best public
services along lines of public well
fare in. the United States, owes Its
organization to Col. Lindsey. and
was the first municipal board Of pub
lilo welfare in Texas
BY establishing a highly perfected
budget and fiscal system In Dallas.
