Power curtailment has only been necessary during periods of
drought, or during periods of extremely cold weather when streams
became frozen. The curtailment was of short duration and was ap

Current legislative developments give that quest
ion pertinence. The strongest kind of pressure has been
exerted on behalf of the compulsory health insurance
bill. However, so much public opposition has developed
that its sponsors think other tactics may prove more
fruitful for the time being.
*
As an example the Senate has passed and the
House may soon vote on a bill, which has received rela
tively little attenion, authorizing Federal grants-in-aid
to medical schools. Under the terms of it, the Surgeon
General would decide what schools were to get the
money, in what order, and in what amounts. He would
work with a council, but its function would be advisory
only. All the real power of action and decision would be
vested in one man. The medical schools would have to
come to him, in the scramble for funds.
If the government pays the bill—in this or any
other matter—the government is eventually going to
give the orders. That is inevitable. Such a measure,
innocuous as it may seem to some, would be a perfect
starting point for legislation which would subject our Road And Street Problems

of their activity.

Still another measure which has passed the Senate
and is now in the House would make the government
responsible for the physical and mental health of all
school children between five and 17. That may have an
appealing sound—yet can anyone doubt that it would
become a plank in the house of socialized medicine?
The point is that socialism usually comes to nati
ons on a piecemeal basis. These bills indicate the plan
to be used in this countrv.
