cE. e Tell 219 exist in America. In my opinion, the slums of the cities have been moved to the country, and it should not be permitted and ought not to be allowed. I am speaking for those people, hundreds of whom, I have met and with whom I have stayed in their homes and slept al night; and I am speaking to-day for those people and not for myseli at all in any way, shape, or form. Mr. KercaaM. You do not think, then, there is any particular danger of the encroachment of Federal power in the minds of folks like that? Mr. MorcanN. No, because they will elect their own officers; it will be managed by their own people, whom they will select under this | LeNary-Haugen bill, and they will not see any encroachment at all.
