PROPER PROBE IS IMPOSSIBLE
Representative Samuel w. Smith Ad-
vOcates Establishment of Public
Service CorDoration-FIays TeIe-
graph and Express Companies for
Charging ExOrbitant Rates.

Asserting the District committees of
the Senate and the House are not in a
position TO make an Intelligent report on
public service corporations. Representa-
tive Samuel w. Smith addressed the Lin
coin Park Citizens Association.
He declared they have no power to
summon witnesses nor money necessary
to carry on the proper investigation He
referred to the gas bill before the last
Congress. and said there were but two
men who appeared before the committee.
He cited this as an illustration of the
Information Congressional committees are
compelled to act upon, and said It was
impossible to make an intelligent report.
Cites Cleveland Fight.
Referring to universal transfers, Mr.
Smith stated that twenty years ago
women working In the departments had
invested their small savings in the car
companies and have never received one
cent OF interest or dividends. He dwelt
on the long drawn out fight in Cleveland
over Scent fares. which. he said. has
not yet been settled
And If II is shown by struggle OF
nine years" said the spokesman, that
an electric railway company cannot pay
s per cent on It's capital, and that COM
pany operating with overhead trolley. the
cost of which is just one-third that OF
the underground system, how can We ex-
pect the companies 10 pay interest or
dividends on q 4-cent fare. when the in
itial cost is three times greater than
that of Cleveland"
Mr.. Smith advocates the establishment
Of public service commission, and said
the Commissioners should not be saddIed
with any additional responsibility.
Cheaper in Australia.
In speaking Of the telegraph companies,
Mr.. Smith cited the exorbitant charges
for the sending OF messages, and COM
pared the cost OF sending kilograms In
this country with the cost in Australia.
He said the telegraph lines in the anti
pOdes were owned by the government.
and that a telegram could be sent any
where in the limits Of state az the rate
Of sixteen words for IS cents. exclusive OF
signature and address.
The express companies next came in
for condemnation on the ground OF ex-
cessive charges, which, according to Mr..
Smith, were way out of proportion. The
great trouble with the whole business
was the lack Of proper control and regu-
lation. he said.
