81 compel the attention of the Gov
&fnor to a situation that is serious an
calls for immediate remedial action.
%sThe~Governor will no doubt do al
that he can to help the suffering pub
lie and he is certain to put the mattel
Before the Legislature.
- Families have moved into New Je"
sey to~make their homes and they have
paid much money into the Golfers Of
the railroads who now want to worh
l%lardships upon them.
%The Governor has the power to cal
a special. session. of the Legislature
and before her viii see these commut.
,ers burdened by increased rates and
mayhap compelled to leave the State.
he will no doubt put the subject square
~ before the Legislature.
This extraordinary session could be
called for the sole purpose of enacting
a law which would give a public utili-
ties commission in which would be
vested the power to regulate what the
railroads shall charge. 1t should carry
Hith'it the effort of the best legal tai
Ent of the State. It should not be a
make-shift proposition or one h
would give the corporation lawyers a
.9hapce to .evade.

EFFECT until July a, and it does not give
9thesseammission power to compel the
PRODUCTION OF an unfair rate.
Now that attention has been d.
trected thus early and so forcibiy to th9
consequences of the failure of the Leg
Eislature to include this provision IN
the law, and when 1t is considered that
what has occurred with respect TO rali-
sroad rates may also happen as TO the
crates for gas, telephone and other pup
Slic utilities, I feel sure that the Legls-
3lature, II given the opportunity, would
stnow be willing to remedy this defect
Gin the law.
u las chairman of the Democratic
smemhers and speaking for those whom
III have been able to reach, respect
.iully urge you TO call a special session
Siof. the Legislature to amend the act
aof last year so as to- give the Public
utility Commission power to fix and
ssenforce not only interstate railroad
rates, but also rates or charges of all
public utility companies; and to make
the act take effect Immediately. Very
truly yours, .
