IN FAVOR OF NEW ACTS.
Club Commcnds Public
Utilities and Police Bills.
1T THEIR HOME AT

The Republican Club. az its monthly meeting
last night indorsed the Bingham Police bill ana
the Public Utilities bill A committee Of three
will attend the Senate hearing to-day on the
Bingham bill.
There a spirited debate on the resolutions
10 indoTse n -le measures, Charles II. Young
president OF the club. was in the chair. The
Bingham bill came Up first, The leading ideS-
Of the argument by all those who opposed the
principle Of the Bingham Police bill was that 1t
gave the commissioner too much power. 1t was
argued that with an honest commissioner II
would be all right but with q commissioner
sworved by political considerations the new law
would be exceedingly dangerous. making the
commissioner the most powerful force for evil
in the city government and making II likely that
the police force would be dcmoralized under him
past all remedy. Joseph Levenson was one of
those who opposed the bin In its present form.
The argument for the bill was that with di-
vidcd responsibility the best results never could
be obtained as the blame for unsatisfactory con
ditions never could be fastened on a definite
II urged that il a police commits
sioner should abuse his trust ne might be re-
moved by the Governor Of the state. and that
with executives like those the state has had
for the last ten twelve years il would be per
fectly safe 10 invest in the police commissioner
full authority over his men, trusting 10 the
Governor TO displace him If he did not do the
right thing.
The friends Of the Bingham bill were In
comfortable majority. and the resolution favor
ing II was easily carried. The chair was
thorized to appoint a committee OF three 10 at
tend the hearing
The Public Utilities bill provoked almost
repetition Of the argument for and against the
police bill. There was objection on the part OF
many TO giving the Governo; the appointve
power. It being urged that in Democrat
were elected Governor TO succeed Governor
Hughes # would give him a tremendous lev
erage partisan lines IL he should fit to
abuse his opportunity.
Those who favored the bill argued that the
morrow could look after itself, and that the duty
Of the hour TO give the Governor a chance
10 carry out his ideas.
The club also commended the Ship Subsidy
bill, and passed a resolution declaring II had
been defeated by Democratic fllibuster. The
Agnew bill for direct nominations was also ap-
proved.
