The Maternity Bill

"Spinster midwifery" is the title of attack upon the Sheppard maternity bill launched by the Massachusetts Civic Alliance of Boston which finds nothing good in it and much that Is bad. It intro duces form of sovetism into American affairs. declares the alliance and charges that Miss Lathrop, the head of the childrens and who would be given supreme authority from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to the Gulf .is an en- dorser of feminist ideas of the unspeakable Madam Kolontai whom the Woman Patriot. quoting the Russian ptorma ton bureau. charges with betraying Russia to Germany and who is the old time Rgssian official to be retained by the Polsheyiki
 For several years Miss Lathrop chief of the children's bureau. has published statistics reports based in part upon excessive figures of the influenza epidemic tending to throw discredit upon American cities and communities. But these publications approve foreign systems where mor- bdity and mortality far exceed ours"
 The Alliance asks: Do the American people want America covered with government financed committees of what Senator Moses calls Meddlesome Mattes" to investigate everybody's business and card-index histories and private affairs every home. as these women have card indexed legislators to intmidate them into enacting such bills as the Sheppard maternity bill? When such women shall be re-organized into local and state committees, financed by one million dollars annually from the us treasury. and directed by law to issue and dis seminate publications of their own choosing every covetous dream will easily be achieved by them and the U. S treasury wiil be within their reach"
 The bill. says the Alliance, gives blanket powers the children's bureau and to its chief It gives her power to form vast machine spreading it's net over the American people She is to be financed by $14so,ooo. and every by one million more This money is not to be used in providing bed for a mother bottle of milk for baby. but in organ zation, administration and propaganda
 Miss Lathrops literature says the Alliance. en- c9.rakss births out of wsqlock by of ponuses tq illegitimate mothers.
 Roosevelt patriotism Is not beeing inspired among our mothers by ths LathrQp bureau Its hundreds of thousands of dQllars annually spent tend to frghtsn young girls from becoming mothers. It induces fdence of mothers away from the family physician.

And Echo Answers. Crepe Hanger!'
 Our esteemed contemporary down the alley sheds tears over the fact that a caravan composed of Boston people looking for opportunity set tied on 5120 acres of land in Idaho under a new irrigation project open to homesteaders. which, land they bought at $1a5 per acre.
 Why" weeps our contemporary, were they not brought to Ari- zona? Further why can there not a similar caravan be brought here?"
 Well. neighboF. since you have asked let's hazard a gtiess. The late fegislature pissed two bilfs-H. B. S3 and H. B. 13s4under ithe terms of which it lis proposed to bring into cultivation thousands upon thousan6e of acres of arid land. The consum- nation of the purposes of these bills would offer a big inducement to land seeking caravans from the East to come and settle in Arizona
 Our lachrymal contemporary has been leading a rnerciTess fight against these bills. And if we desired to keep | any land-seeking. opportunity seek | ing homesteaders from the East out | of Arizona I've think we could do il very effectively by sending to these prospective settlers copies of many issues of our contemporary contain ] ing editorials and special articles | Knocking" legitimate plans for re- claiming these desert lands under inc terms of these bins, and ever
