VII. 3. FOLSOM. tlltsf.
now-..aDouT SENATOR DAVIS.

Jeff Davis has been elected to the United States Senate. the people who put him there because they believed his stories about saving the country will have time to sit down and figure out just how much he has actually saved 'em in dollars and cents. They needn't calculate the days they have wasted. tte shirts they have torn mp. the hats they havo beaten out in their wild enthusiasm of "whooping it up for their political saviour but just get out your tax receipts and figure out ho v much less taxes you are paying this good year of 1907. then you were when Senator Jeff began to save the country"
 This Is not given out in an unkind spirit but to cause those who came under the spell of this great office and self seeking man. to stop and see just how they have been imposed upon by the most wonderful and gifted dema- popue that has ever rode into office after office thro' his ability 10 fool the people.
 Like all men of his class, he will work his .hoodoo' on the dear people just once to often. The great Bailey of Texas, is about to realize that his wonderful ability to fool his people is nearing an end. and he is to go down in history as an infamous instead Of a famous statesman.
 There ware those in Texas who have always mistrusted Bailey and they were sincere. honest and brave in their opposition to him. They op- posed him when it was very unpopular to do such thing because Bailey was .prince of worship saviour Of the poor people. a giant killer of the trusts, inst as Jeff Davis has pretended 10 be. Eut it deveiopes that Bailey was playing saviour to the people and that he was at the same time actually borrowing" money and taking "fees' to the extent of nearly hall million dollars from every stand ard ell trrst ke was drieing out Of Texas.
 The time will come when the. people of Arkansas will see the great and gifted. self lf-sesking Jeff just as he has; seosn of his wings and hypo- critical pretentioRs,
 Like Bailey. hi; wonderful brazetl mask will be stripped from him and thos, who have honestly believed him sincere will be able to see that every move he has ever made. nearly every good deed he has done, has been done with an eye single to his own glory and advancement.

SELTGlIAN ON p. U. BILL.
Banker Says Financial Restrictions
IRE Too S7Ceeping.

Isaac y. sel!gnan. OF the banking house Of J. and
w. Seligman & Co. commented yesterday upon
the financial aspects Of the Public Service Com
missions bill Il believe public service corporations
should have the right TO contract for the opera
ton OF their works by others without the consent
OF the commission" said Mr. Selgman, provided
such contract does not cover more than a limited
period Of time. say two or three years The new
commissions Will be busy in the first few years.
and the delays which VIII result if they must ap-
prove every contract made by a gas electric
company or by railroad affecting franchises. viii
bear hardly upon the companies. II the commits
sion Is given the right at any time, upon proper
hearing To order the cancellation OF contracts. the
public interests Will be sdfesuarded amply and at
the same time the corporations would not be re-
stricted unduly.
The object OF the bin. l take it, is to do away
with holding companies a means to water stoc1.
Why should there not be excluded from such prOhi-
bition the holding OF stock by companies the capital
stock of which has been paid at par in cash? Also,
the wording of the act would seem to prevent tho
acquisition by companies now controlling large
majority of the capital stock OF a public service
company Of small amounts Of minority stock still
outstanding This IS n great hardship to impose
upon minority stockholders depriving them OF prae-
tcally the only market they have Tor their hold
IF the holding company be prohibited from
buving such outstanding stocks the will
probably he compcilcd to retain their holdings in
definitely. Even IT private sac uitiiI,-CeiS Z ~ Is
siderably below the real value Tor tne p9IShaSsr
would have take into consideration
or Inability TO resell the stock In question No
apparent benefit would result TO the public. while
corporations and individuals would be put 10 serl-
GUS loss by the provisions I refer 10.
The prohibition against the issue or stocks;
bonds and other forms of Indebtedness for capital
account without the approval OF the commission
may also have serious consequences Under thlS
provision the bill public service companies could
not issue notes or bills payable for improvements
and extensions which might be urgently needed.
II seems to me that the company should De Tree
to make at least temporary provision for pur-
chases and improvements
''Fh, attempt to make the bill too comprehensive
may only result in confusion and unnecessary
damage to property interests. as Well as INJURY 70
the public good. cannot too strongly express the
many dangers. in my judgment. likely 20 arise by
this bill. -
Il do not want to discuss the subject or the pro-
hibition of the capitalization of franchises, eX-
Cept say that il seems TO me unjust that public
service corporations should have their franchises
assessed for taxation lat high valuation, Wnen
they are not To be allowed to issue reasonable
amount of securities against franchises

WORKON UTILITIES BILL
Assembly Railroads Committee Busy
Some Changes Likely.
1Rr Telerrnph to The Tribure.1

Albany April 19-Vork on the Public Utili-
ties bill was continued to-day by the Assembly
Railroads Committee. which is taking the lead
with the measure because the Senate Judiciary
Committee Is tied up with the Kelsey case For
several hours the committee discussed the Gov
ernor's bill and the amended bill presented by
the railroad corporations section by section. AS
sembIyman Merritt. the chairman. hopes TO get
the measure ready to report early next week. il
possible by Tuesday. when the Rules Committee
will take over all bills remaining in the stand
ing committees
Up 10 date no important amendment has been
adopted. and while all the moot points have been
talked over no vote has been taken in the COM
mittee. Various changes have been made in the
phraseology OF the original bill. In some in
stances the wording Of the railroads bill has
been adopted as being simpler or showing a
more careful knowledge Of the technical details,
or sometimes as being more fOrceful and bind
ing.
Before the Assembly committee puts the bill
into its final shape 10 IS likely that consulta-
tions will be held with Senator Page and other
members OF the Senate Judiciary Committee TO
get their opinions on those features OF the meas
ure which come more nearly within the legal
purvew Of that committee
The question Of removal OF the commissioners
is one OF those. That is recognized generally as
the sticking point with the Senate There is
some question in the Assembly committee
whether To take the Initiative and vest removal
power in the Senate. 20 put out the bill in It's
original form. No decision has been reached
vet on that score. and some members Of the
committee think IL would be better 10 let the
Senate fight that out for itself.
Broad court review will not be provided by
the bill as il viii be reported. There has been
much talk in committee about this. and proba-
blv there win be more, but Governor Hughes
we'll known opposition 10 weakening the bill IN
that way IS likely 10 be enough 20 decide the
committee. Many small changes in the bill will
be made among them an increase in the salaries
Of the commissioners to $1,000. II seems un-
likely that telephone and telegraph companies
will be put under the jurisdiction OF the Public
Utilities Commission by this bill
Assernblyman Merritt viii speak on the Pub
lie Utilities bill tomorrow night at the dinner
Of the Westchester Bar Association at Dell
