OF the Hohcnzollern plan OF domination.

A BILL THAT SHOULD PASS

An ideal plan 10 handle the tubercu-
hosts problem in this state Is embodied
In the bill on that subject introduced
by Senator Bloch. The measure pro.
yIdes for q sanitorium for each con.
gresslonal district. or six in all. As the
state already has one institution at
TERRA Alta, five more would BE- eStab-
Gfishcd.
S~SsOf the usefulness OF these additional
ssanitoriums there is no question. The
