Neglect of these cases in state Institutions, the memorial said, Is committing to permanent Insanity many of the victims who by timely treatment probably could be cured. Describing the condition of "con. tract" case of this class In the insitu-tion- s of the state of Ohio as typical of flume In "pratleally every state," the memorial asserted the government liaa "farmed out the insane men of Ohio to stale asyluina which are notoriously overcrowded, undermanned and Inadequately equ'pped to treat and care for thorn," while it has not provided one federal institution for tills purpose in the state The Lonrvlew asylum of Hamilton county, Ohio, the memorial said, "Is so very lovererowded that 210 Inmates Bleep on the floor like cattle every night." Of the mentally disabled placed in tho instltut'wis of the state, of whom, it vnsr said, physicians believe half might be cured by treatment, not one, the memorial asserted, was receiving "medical treatment of any kind for the mental diseases and curable cases are being dally doomed to permanent insanity. None of the institutions, it was further asserted, segregate their tirbereular patients. An average profit of $.'!00 on each out of the $r47..r0 annual fee paid by the government was shown in the figures for the nine Institutions of the state cited in the memorial. In hundreds1 of cases, it was asserted, relatives are refusing to commit mentally disabled veterans, who might be restord to useful citizenship, 10 In the "contract" asylums, most f which, the memorial said, are "noth-tn- g more than lockups " Congress was urged to take early action to reimly the situation. Washington Southern business men have awakened to the need of a protective tariff, the senate finance committee was told Monday by John H. Klrby of Houston, Tex., president of the Southern Tariff association. "We're not feeling our politicians on this question any longer," said Mr. Klrby. "The whole South Is awakened on this question." Mr. Klrby said the South was asking for "Justice." lie added that It wanted the same consideration as that given other sections of the country, and acting Chairman McCumber declared that the tariff question would be treated by the committee ns a national and not a sectlonnl one. Charles B. Claiborne, a New Orleans banker, gave It ns his opinion that !K) per cent of the bankers of the South favored a high protective tariff, "for the coming year at least." Discussing conditions In the Louisiana sugar industry, Mr. Claiborne said, on the bns.s of tho 1.(50 cents a pound on rnw sugar proposed In the Fordney bill, his bank could not and would not make loans to the Louisiana sugar producers, and that, with such a tariff, the Louislann sugar Industry would have to quit the field. Mr. Claiborne said that, reports to the contrary notwithstanding, the public utilities of the country, the railroads nnd industries generally, were never In a worse condition than they are today. His own theory was that the United States should devote Its efforts to "saving Itself and not the rest of the world." "I think It Is national egotism which makes us think we are ordained to help nil the world."
