Both were great enancipators. both

origin of species and the place he
gave to natural selection and the
survival of the fittest in the scheme
of evolution, brought intellectual lib

colonial history. The last nineteen
years of his life. with but one break
of a year, he served continuously as
Governor of Connecticut.

one of the most liberal Of the Puritan

barrier OF the Pongo de Manse-

bottom of a gigantic whirlpool in

last week, the author, with the

his perilous headway. He was
advancing toward the Peruvian

NEW RENT BILL
now BEING
FRAMED
Measure Transfers Basis Of
Legislation to General Po-
lice Powers Of Govt.

The initiative Of President Cool
idge has given a new at .mulus to
the campaign to continue rent
control in washington.
Friends Of the present Rent Act
have been heartened by the prcpo.
sal to enact new law based on
the .uncontested police powers OF
the Federal Government to protect
public health and morals, both of
which, it is alleged are endangered
by reason Of present housing condi-
tons in the Capitai.
Chairman Whaley, of the Rent
Commission, and legal experts,
called into conference by him, now
are framing a new bill transferring
the basis Of rent legislation from
housing emergency to the general
police powers of the government,
Some Of them appear to be conf
dent that such a law will stand the
acid test Of the courts.
Senator Ball, chairman Of the
Senate District COMMITTEES probably
will hold a conference with Presi-
dent Coolidge directly after the
holidays on the subject. The matter
will not be made subject Of hear.
ing by Congressional committees
until the Rent Commission draft Of
the law has been made.
When submitted to President
Coolidge, this draft of the law will
be sent to the Department of
Justice for further legal examina.

tial approyal.
