ACCEPT CHANGES
IN MATERNITY BILL
Women Acting on Principle Of
"half a Loaf Is Better
. Than None"

Washington, Dec. 21.--Passage o;
the Sheppard Towner bill providing
for federal aid in maternity ,du
cation probably will be fosterrd as
the bill passed the Senate last Satur-
day instead Of as originally written.
That was the sentiment voiced by
members Of the joint congressional com
mittee of women rcpresen ing the vari-
Gus women's organizations supporting
legislation before Congress this session
and backing in particular the mater.
nifty bill.
The object Of the women seems 70
be to avoid tangles in conference that
might result in the loss of the whole
bill at this session II the House should
pass the original bill with the pro-
visions which the Senate struck out
included. The fight for the remaining
provisions Of the bill will probably be
made ut the next session of Congress.
Speaking Of the maternity Bill. Mrs.
Maude Wood Park. chairman Of the
joint committee of organizations meet.
ing under the auspices of the National
League of Women Voters, says:
1--WE are very glad the Sheppard
Towner bill has gone through the Sen
ate, so that II can go through the
Houre in time to be acted upon bv the
1921 Legislatures Of the various states.
We regret the cut in approximations,
but the bill as II stands will enable u
demonstration of that kind of work.

Something like $4,000 Democrats
gathered in Dayton. o., Saturday TO
hear Governor Cox told formally that
he is the partys nominee for the pres
idency. The notification ceremonies
took place in the Montgomery county
fair grounds where temporary
amphtheater was erected. They were
preceded by a parade in which about
10000 persons took part. The town
was handsomely decorated and the
residents opened their homes to the
visitors.
In his speech of acceptance Cover
nor Cox declared that the United
States should enter the League of Ma
tions. Immediately ratify the peace
treaty and state our Interpretation of
the covenant as matter of good faith
and as a precautiOn against msunder-
standing in the future: the interpreted
ton clearly to show that the league
is not an alliance and that its basic
purpose is peace and not controversy.
On the matter of prohibition he said
that any candidate for the presidency
who says he does not intend to en-
force the law is more unworthy than
the law violator. He declared he IA
vored the repeal of war taxes and the
reduction of federal taxation. and sug-
gested a volume of business tax in
stead of the excess profits tax. In
dealing with other issues he followed
along the lines of the San Francisco
platform.

The railways appear to be fairly
well satisfied with the rate increases
authorized by the interstate commerce
commission, and announce that they
are preparing to spend SI00,WO,0oo
this year for Improvements and bet

in freight rates, an average of 1914

rates 90 per cent; for Pullman rates.

AS to the effect on the general pub

rates will mean the adding of more

expert, insist that the resulting better

duction will bring lower prices.
