Capitol Gossip and Policy Debates Highlight Social Reform
In Washington on January 8, Prof. Irving Fisher urged federal action for national vitality through university research, medical training, social services, hygiene propaganda, and living conditions. Julia Lathrop’s Children’s Bureau offered a simple fix by sharing data showing needs for milk, warm clothes, housing, and wages to sustain families. The article also notes opposition to a leasing bill, praise by the National Conservation Association, and critique of tactics used by special interests. It discusses gasoline prices as FTC actions rise, and recalls Standard Oil’s 1911 dissolution under the Sherman act with the court’s role and Attorney General Wickersham.
