MR. MAXWELLS ADDRESS. "I believe every one will agree that the best plan for handling this problem is to provide in one measure all the machinery and money necessary to carry out whatever plan is found desirable on investigation." George H. Maxwell said in beginning his address at the first session. "That is what the Newlands bill proposes to do, and that is the reason we are bt hind it.

It is a plan to interest the Federal government in the solution of the problem rather than piecemeal alleviating of the damage and suffering it causes.
