SMITH STOPS
A NICE ONE
Prevents Bill From Going
on the Calander.
DISCOVERED THE SLEEPER
Measure Aimed at Valen-

Innocent Looking Seventeen Line

Bill was Introduced and Nipped
in the Bud by Marion's Repres-
entatiye.
Especial to the Mirrorl


Columbus, o., Feb. 11-Discovery
that an innocent looking seventeen.
line hill introduced by Representative
Elson of TuscarawaS "by request" in
reality would not only permit mergers
of the two big telephone interests in
Ohio but would chlorororm the VAL
entine antitrust law, so far as its
provisions prohibit such combines
probably has defeated the bill.
Representative Calvey of Cleveland
In member of the committee on rail
roads and telegraphs, in whose hand9
the bill is reposing, said today that
he felt sure the bill would be killed
in committee.
He was the only member of the
committee that renamed in Columbus
after an unadvertised meeting last
night at which the discovery of tho
"joker" was made, but he thought
n majority of the committeeman favor
refusing to report 1t back to the
house.
The discovery also will mean that
another bill along the same lines by
Representative Blllinsslea will be sub
jected to close scrutiny.
"The bill," said Calvey. "would
mean that mergers now forbidden,
would be permissible and would affect
cases now pending in the courts under
the Valentine antitrust law"
A hearing on it has been set for
Tuesday night.
The bill has the general appearances
of one of those innocent looking little
measures once in while slip through
q legislature unsuspected and whose
effects do not develop until the dam
age is done.
Apparently II is to provide for ex-
change of service in the interest of
accommodating the public. But II
provides that when lines and equip.
ment have been connected, that they
shall be owned, operated and MAIN
tanned "as agreed upon by the dl
rectors of the respective companies"
Ii then authorizes the consolidation
of the companies and wipes out "all
conflicting laws" This is believed
fully to sanction the acquiring OF the
Independent telephone interests OF
this state by the Morgan-Bell inter-
ests
The bill might have been on the
calander now, but for w. r. Smith of
Marion, who has been paying increas
ed rates since the Central Union and
the Marion Telephone company got
together He insisted that the innocent
bill the committee had been so hur-
riedly called to consider was n repeal
of the Valentine law and challenged
the author, Elson, to deny 1t.
Elson said he did not know. Bill
lingslea attended the meeting. His
bill obliges competing telephone com
panies to connect up" in Ohio
Whether the courts can construe tho
term Connect" into merger" is
question. Opponents say they could

kinds.
