New England magazine, "that vast

The Jackson Wing wants an in
vestigation of a question of law,
which is explained in the following
clipping:
"Hhe attorneys for jackson and
Madison County should look into
the question of the amount of mon
ey due 6he schools Of this city and
county from the State Of Tennes-
Sec under the merchants privilege
clause of the revenue law of 1887,
and the laws before that back till
ruled out by the statute of limita-
tion. There are likely to be some
nice questions to be settled in this
matter. The State is not backward
about calling on the counties for
any sums due it, and now that the
counties have pull at the State
they should endeavor to collect all
that is due them"

TELEPHONE RIVALRY.

Toledo, o., of which Mayor Jones, the
well-known advocate of municipal own
ership, is mayor, has granted a fran
chise to the Independent Telephone
Company to run in opposition to the
old established company. The fran
chise was passed by both houses of the
council with such speed as to suggest
jobbery, but Mayor Jones has wisely
deferred affixing his signature until he
has time to make thorough investiga-
ton Of the new company
Both theoretical political economists
and practical business men agree that
there are times when competition is not
good thing. For instance, the trav-
cling public were never benefited by
the construction of the West Shore
tracks parallel to the New York Cen
trail Two gas or electric light plants
are not desirable in a small city. To-
ledo is a city of $4,000 people, and mas
much as conditions in that city and
Worcester are much the same, the fol-
lowing editorial from the Kansas City
Journal will be of interest:
Mayor Jones would do well to use
all the time allowed him by law to con-
slider the ordinance granting franchise
to the Independent Telephone Com
pany, which was passed by both houses
of the council on Thursday evening
Considering the nature of the grant,
this course would be wise under any
circumstances but it wonld seem espe-
cially expedient when the haste with
which the ordinance was passed is ia
ken into consideration.
The Journal has always favored the
principle of competition, and favors that
principle now: but whatever may be
said of other public utilities, it is appar-
ent to any one who takes the telephone
question into consideration, that there
are points involved in the dual system
that do not enter into the ordinary ques-
ton of competition. 1t is obvious at
once that one system-all other things
being equals much more to be de-
sired than two or more, if for no other
reason than on the ground of simplic
ity. The only argument that can be
advanced for an additional company
where one has been giving good service,
Is the ability to reduce expenses to the
subscribers through competition. AS
many business houses would be obliged
to have two telephones instead Of one,
would be companies, 1t is certain that
to many subscribers competition would
mean an additional expense. The his
tory of dual telephone systems is not
encouraging to the advocates of com
petitive lines In most instances com
petition ends in consolidation without
any reduction in rates. In the mean
time the streets have been torn up.
the public Inconvenience and the users
of talpnhoneg ANNOYED bV tha cnnPt,cio,.
incident to separate lines.
THE telephone has become a public
necessity, and the public is entitled to
the best service for the least money.
The mayor should feel certain that tele-
phone subscribers want the dual sys
tenn before he puts his signature to the
ordinance granting a franchise TO the
Independent Company. TO say the
least, there are two sides to the ques-
ton. II is an easy matter to get ex-
pert opinion from cities that have the
dual system"

Bad as the Bridgeport trolley acct
dent was, the Millbury disaster of last
winter would have been quite as Sc
rious, but for the exceedingly fortunate
circumstance that the tragedy occurred
at night when traffic was light. Had
there been forty passengers in the Wor-
cester and Suburban car, as was the
case at Bridgeport, the fatality would
have been equally large. The two ca
tastrophes present many points of sim
ilarity. Both cars ran off the track
while crossing a bridge. The fall was
approximately the same in each case.
In neither is the cause apparent, al
though faulty trucks and poor roadbed
are alleged in both cases. 1t is signifi-
cant to observe how much more fire.
quent electric railroad fatalities are in
the east than in the west, where the
double track system prevails so gem
orally. The trolley system of New Eng
land has been such a rapid growth
that cheap and faulty construction is
far too common.
