The letter from George B. Schwabe expresses his opposition to the Local Health Units Bill, H. R. 274, arguing that Oklahoma should be able to handle its own health problems without federal funding. On the other hand, Dr. G. F. Mathews, Commissioner of Health, advocates for the bill, stating that it is necessary to provide adequate health services to rural areas in Oklahoma. Mathews emphasizes the importance of public health in improving the overall health of the population and urges Schwabe to support the legislation.
