WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
 MUST BE CARRIED ON
Death Rate Drops, But Disease Still Has Strong Grip on Country
 Reports Show

Minneapolis, June 17 Pl-Al- though the death rate from tIbercu- losis has fallen from 2O1 in 1900 to 94 in each 100000 of population in 1923, due in large measure to the organized fight against tubercuo osis, this disease will never be entirely eradicated until there are adequate health departments in every city, county and state. and until the standard of living for all is raised to higher level. This opinion was expressed by Dr. Linsly R. Williams managing director of the National Tuberculosis association, at the opening session of that organiza- tion's twenty-frst annual meeting here this morning.
 Continuing his argument Dr. Wil- Hams said: Such standards of liv-
 ing as are deemed adequate and such health measures as are proven to be proper cannot be carried out by individuals unless the people are sufficiently intelligent and educa- tlonal opportunities are offered so that information may be distributed to every family in the land"
 Dr. Williams advocated in his an- nual report closer cooperation with health departments by the tubercu- Iosis associations of the country and a united effort 10 improve the gen. eral community health machinery.

Mondell, war finance corporation member and former republican house leader, to the past policy of congress in main taining high surtax rates under peacetime conditions He declared recovery from those slumps would continue slow unless tax reforms were brought about to encourage the free flow of capital into productive industry.
 It was MT. Mondell's second speech of a tour through the mid- west and was made before the con- vention of the South Dakota Bank CTS association. In < he urged the bankers to interest their communi- ties in the importance 10 the indi- viduals therein of the federal taxa ton policy and told them that if they earnestly desired to have scien- tincaily drawn tax rates, they must so inform their senators and repre- sentatiyes in congress.
 The speaker reviewed many phases of the tax question and asserted that in many instances competitive busi- ness had suffered for the reason that available funds were being employed so as to gain tax exemption.
 Wkh a maximum normal and sur- tax of 4s per cent on earnings, he sabd, such capital ''can scarcely he expected to invest, particularly when the investor must take all of the chances of loss while the tax gath erer would be certain to take a Hons share of the profit"
